Getting Started with GLSU

GLSU consists of SAP and PC components;

both parts have to be installed for the GLSU add-in to work.

  • PC files

    A complete GLSU installation on a PC has two (2) Excel Add-In files for GLSU 'Active' (within Excel):

    1. "Z Option GLSU.xla"
    2. "Z Option GLSU Ribbon.xlam"

    You should be able to see both parts in Excel when you go to Excel > File > Options > Add-Ins.

  • SAP transport

Your company's SAP BASIS team will install this component into your SAP system(s).

The transport only needs to be done once per SAP system, but

Diagnostic steps for GLSU within SAP are explained in steps in the section GLSU SAP-Side Installation Check (Technical/ProjectTeam Utility).

Note: GLSU must be installed and the license unlocked on each SAP system to be used with GLSU [i.e. DEV, TST, PRD, etc.].

Note: The license must be unlocked in SAP on each client in each system.

This getting started section is broken into three sections….

  1. Technical Installation: This is done by your company’s BASIS team, and is the first step in the process. Technical installation instruction are detailed in the Install Process Runner GLSU section.

  2. Unlock the GLSU Licenses: This step is the second in the installation process. It takes place after GLSU has been installed on your development platform. License Unlock procedures are done by your company’s Premium User(s). This is the point where you will configure GLSU with the Premium and Standard Users.

    Note: This must be done for each SAP client in which you want to use GLSU

  3. Posting your first spreadsheet: After GLSU has been technically installed and unlocked, you will want to post your first simple spreadsheet. This section will explain the steps required to do this by introducing you to the basics of GLSU’s functionality.

Step 1: Technical Installation

See, Install Process Runner GLSU. This section contains the sequential steps necessary to install the GLSU transport onto your development system.

Instructions for using the GLSU Ticket System are also explained in the Install Process Runner GLSU section.

Once the GLSU transport has been installed, the logical file path has been configured, and necessary authorization profiles have been edited, then it is time to move to the next section: Getting Started for Premium Users.
