SAP Java GUI (updated)

[UlricT]

I know posting here is along shot but here goes...

A friend of mine has been trying to connect to an SAP application server using the SAPgui for Java. He cannot seem to find a place to specify the Application Server IP address, the system ID and the system number.

I have never worked with the Java version of the GUI and cannot figure it out either. Any input on how to do this would be really helpful.


UPDATE: I have been fooling around with connection string in the advanced tab of the connection settings. I have been able to specify the host, but when trying to specify the service, it is giving me trouble.

when trying to connect,
conn=/H/<ip address>/S/sapdp<system ID>
becomes
conn=/H/<ip address>/S/32<system ID>
and says that it cannot connect. I feel its so close!

The error I am getting is
"Error: Service '32<system ID>' unknown

<date, Time>
Release 640
Component NI (network interface), version 37
rc = -3, module_mt.c, line 579
Detail NiPGetServByName2:service '32<system ID>' not found
System Call getservbyname_r"

I know I can connect to this server <ip address> with the specified <system ID> using a windows machine on the same network, so I doubt it is network issues. I think it could be because the services file is not defined? How do I go about doing this in OSX?
