Response time problems after disabling scripting at a SAP server

The problem: If you are using a SAP server and have multiple SAP GUI scripts running on the same Robotic Response Time agent host using the same SAP GUI client, but connected to different SAP servers, if you disable scripting at the SAP server, perhaps to test verification point failure detection in a RPT SAP 7.1 GUI script, you might see unintended side effects on the other scripts that access different SAP servers through the same SAP client, such as significantly longer response times.

Over several hours of operation, the response time in these other scripts might increased steadily, then drop off to normal levels, and then start increasing again. This problem is not resolved even after restarting the Robotic Response Time agent.

The solution: Disabling scripting on the SAP server is not supported, because the scripting feature significantly impacts the behavior of the SAP GUI client behavior. Typically, when you disable scripting on the SAP server, a connection is left open on the SAP GUI client that the script uses to connect to the SAP server. The side effect of this change is that other scripts using the same SAP client take longer to run, because fewer resources are available through the SAP GUI client system.

You need to re-enable scripting so that RPT SAP test scripts can run properly.
