BW Bex Browser in SAP GUI for JAVA 6.40 R2.2 for Linux Desktops

Hello,
I am using SAP GUI for JAVA v 6.40 R2.2 on a Linux desktop. But during the installation it doesn't ask for BW Bex installation option (as in SAP GUI for Windows). Is it the case that BW Bex is not supported in Linux Environment? If it is then kindly suggest some way to install the same.
Regards,
Yashodhan

Hi Yashodhan,
the Business Explorer does not exist in the Linux environment.
Best regards,

Edit Bex Query in SAP Gui?

Hi,
Anyone know if it is possible to edit a Bex Query in the SAP Gui? For instance with a T-code or Program in SE38? Having problem with my Bex fontend and am not allowed to install patches on this computer. Only need to remove on Free charracteristic.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I don't think it is possible. I never heard of opening Query other than Query designer. I think best option will be to fix your computer and install patch.

BEx Browser in New GUI

Hi,
In GUI 6.4 we have BEx Browser, but in New GUI 7.1 BEx Browser is not available, so in case if we want to use the BEx Browser in GUI 7.1 how can we use it.
In our system we are not using WAD and are not connected to Portals, so how can i use the BEx Browser with the NEW GUI.
Thanks,
AM

Hi,
in GUI 7.10 the 3.x-Tools are included as add-in of the Front-End so install this and you get your old BexBrowser!
But as mentioned it works only for 3.x-Workbooks!

SAP GUI and Java reqs

I am putting together some documentation for the Java requirements for SAP applications on RHEL5 for customers.
Can someone sanity check this for me please?
The SAP GUI requires at least Java 1.5 to run, so a customer should install the Java 1.6.0_16 version from Sun.
1.Download the Sun JRE from http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
2.Install the Sun JRE.
3.Set the PATH variable so that the Sun JRE is the default version of Java. You can verify this with the java u2013version command.
4.Install PlatinGUILNX_9.JAR from SAP to install the SAP GUI.
The SAP engine on the other hand requires version 1.42 JDK. Moreover, the only JDK supported for 64-bit Linux is the IBM version.
1. RHEL 5.4 and newer ships with the right IBM JDK so install the IBM JDK. By default, it will install in /opt, so we show the path for the IBM JDK as /opt/IBMJava2‑amd64‑142 in our instructions.
2.SAP NetWeaver 7.0 requires strong encryption. You need to obtain and install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for the IBM JDK you are using beforehand starting the installation. Register to download the JCE files at https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=jcesdk and download the ZIP file from https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?source=jcesdk&lang=en_US.
2.The file you download is named unrestricted.zip. Copy the file named unrestricted.zip to /opt/IBMJava2‑amd64‑142/jre/lib/security directory.
Do not unzip the file. Instead, copy the archive.

Hi,
That's a good documentation, but what do you mean with
4.Install PlatinGUILNX_9.JAR from SAP to install the SAP GUI.
You should post where to download that file, some days ago I downloaded a new version of SAPGui for Java ( 720 ), I don't know what version of SAPGui for Java is PlatinGUILNX_9 or where can I download that version, I downloaded my SAPGui for Java from:
ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/java/
You can see different versions and releases... 720.

Schedule for Java ME SDK 3.0 for Linux?

Hi,
thank you for Java ME, we are using it since many years with on Linux development platform.
Currently we plan to use the Sensor API, which is missing in WTK2.5.2 for Linux.
What are the current plans for Linux?
thanks,
Marcel

Another +1
Come on Oracle, get it together. And why are you being so evasive about answering the OP's question? Is there a release schedule for Linux or not? For some reason I suspect not and you're desperately trying to avoid saying so.
If there's no J2ME for linux there's no point me trying to write Java mobile apps any more. I suspect I will not be the only person to switch to writing Android apps instead. Google seem to understand and respect their Linux programmers.

SAP GUI for JAVA - Search Help ALV display

I need to be able to display search helps in the ALV grid format or the ' Dialog Modal ' option as seen on the Settings for all F4 helps tab under the personalize option for search helps.
Currently when I am using a Macintosh machine the system ignores the system setting and my personal settings and displays all search results in an ABAP List format. Unfortunately the ABAP list format does not work correctly when used to input a field on another ABAP list report.
This behaviour can be found on the Mozilla Firefox browser when SAP GUI for HTML and the SAP GUI for JAVA.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rolf-Martin,
Thank you for your detailed explanation on how the ALV grid control is implemented for the SAP GUI for Java. This has been pretty insightful. The good news is that I finally figured out a solution to my problem. You see I inherited an old custom program where an ABAP list is used as an interactive data capture screen with input fields. Well a couple of fields had search helps. The program has worked fine with the regular SAP GUI until a MAC OS user tried to use it with the SAP GUI for Java. Whenever they selected a line from the search help it would bring back the entire onto their input screen.
A sample of the code:
form search_help.
 CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
 EXPORTING
 TABNAME = 'EKPO'
 FIELDNAME = 'MATNR'
 SEARCHHELP = 'ZMAT1_A'
 SHLPPARAM = 'MATNR'
 TABLES
 RETURN_TAB = RET_TABLE.
IF NOT RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL IS INITIAL.
 LINXX-XMATNR = RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL.
 MODIFY CURRENT LINE FIELD VALUE XMATNR FROM LINXX-XMATNR. " ****
ENDIF.
SET CURSOR 9 SY-CUROW. " ********
endform.
The problem was being caused by the fact that the search help ABAP list was overriding the sy-XXXX values for the current line contents, index, pageno, cursor row for the calling ABAP list. So when a user selected a row from the search help this would now become the current context and be transferred back to the calling program.
The fix was pretty simple; all I had to do was save the current line context and the context prior to calling the search help. After the search help was run I would then replace the current line with the saved one in my local variable. I hope this makes sense. We now have a couple of happy MAC OS users.
Once again I thank you for your patience and support in this matter.
Have a great day,
Edwin.

Dear Rolf-Martin,
I have problem w/ sapgui java that puzzled me all along ...
I've downloaded SAPGUI Java 700r2.1 .. then successfully installed in my PPC ibook G4 ... up and running well ...
one day my colleague with a new MacBook (Intel Core Duo 2GHz) want to have SAPGUI ...
i installed it, run the apps, it works well to the point of SAPLOGON window ...
But it cannot connect to any server defined ...
When I create a new connection, it correctly connected to server and group list can be chosen, but still when I click it to connect nothing happened as if the program not running.
Java -version is 1.5.0_07 .. software update checked, no issue with Java or else ...
I've also try to change the JDK to 1.4.2 to no avail.
I'm stuck. system already re-installed. install sapgui from fresh but problem still persist.
No clue from Googling ... no clue from sapnotes ...
Would you please point me to something so I can dig in ?

SAP GUI 710 installation with BW 3.5 addon - BW Browser has disappeared

Dear all,
I hope someone can help with a BW 3.50 add-on problem following SAP GUI patching.
I'm doing a local installation of SAP GUI 710 Compilation 3.
I have selected the following three options:
1. SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 (Compilation 3)
2. BW 3.50 Add-On for SAP GUI 7.10
3. Business Explorer
(We require both BW add-ons for version reasons.)
Following this I have applied the SAP GUI Level 13 Patch (gui710_13-10002995.exe).
Up to this point, everything works as expected and I can still see the BW Browser at Start --> Programs --> Business Explorer --> Business Explorer (SAP BW 3.x) --> Browser (SAP BW 3.x)
However, when I apply the BW 3.50 Add-On Level 6 Patch (bw350gui710_6-10004473.exe) the Browser disappears from the menu and I can't locate it anywhere. A reboot wasn't required although I did this anyway with no visible effect.
I did try uninstalling everything and attempted the same process, but with SAP GUI Patch Level 12, and combinations with BW 3.50 Add-On Patch Level 4 but with the same result.
Has anyone else come across this issue, or know what has happened?
Thanks.

We have a similar setup, utilizing all 3 as you do.
Since we are currently at Browser patch 4, eventually headed to patch 6, I threw your situation into our VM enviroment and tested the installation of Browser patch 6. Interesting enough, a clean install of Windows XP, Office 2003, and then GUI 7.10 with patch 13 and Browser 3.5 sp4 works as normal. Once I applied SP6 for the Browser, I still have the icon under the Start menu but the wdbbapp.exe is gone.
Thanks to the VM test enviroment, I was able to recreate the scenario in a few moments and this time prior to installing the patch 6 for the Browser, I set it up to catch all the changes the SAP installer makes when applying sp6.
The installation performed the following activity:
13 files added
4 files deleted
141 files updated
363 registry entries added
522 registry entries deleted
129 registry entries updated
Of the 4 files deleted, one of them is the BEx Browser (wdbbapp.exe) - which is why my shortcut won't work
Of the 13 added, none of them are the file being replaced.
Of the 141 modified, none are this file either.
I am still going through the log but have not seen anywhere it will make a difference if the file is not there.
Again, I am not saying there is a problem, perhaps they changed the way it is accessed, I am not fully up on the process of the BEx Browser. SAP may have something mentioned about it on their GUI/BEx site or a note, this is just my preliminary findings.

Zecher

check if host file entry has been maintained
An entry into the host file is needed specifying the server details.
The host file is usually found under the path C:WINNTsystem32driversetc or C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc. This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names

SAP GUI 7.0 and RRMX

I am using BI NW04s and using RRMX via the SAP GUI 7.0.
My problem is that BEx will not start.
SP13 is meant to fix the problem and there is a note (1018928) that details how to fix it for other SPs....however this does not seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Patrick

To solve this problem go to Analyzer 7.0 --> choose option --> global settings --> and mark the option: Launch SAP BW 3.x verion of Bex Analyzer from SAP Gui (RRMX).
And start the Analyzer 7.0 again.

Error for Java 7 install

I am having serious issues in downloading Java7. Is anyone willing to offer any helpful tips on an easier process?

Hello Célia,
indeed SAP GUI for Java has not been released for all editions of Vista.
You can workaround the problem however by running cmd.exe located in system32 with the "Run as administrator" item from context menu and launching the installer from there with "java -jar PlatinGUI....jar". Then it should install as expected.
Please keep in mind, that you are then running it on a platform not officially supported.

SSO to mulitple SAP GUI based systems in the Portal

Hi Experts,
I need to create links for multiple SAP Systems (based on the SAP GUI) in the portal and implement SSO for them. Can someone tell me where and how to place these links in the portal? Is there a standard approach for this, like a "Systems" iview or something?
Regards,
Shobhit

Hi,
So have you created 5 diiferent systems on Portal corresponding to your backend systems :
SAP ERP Dev
SAP ERP Qua
SAP ERP Prd
SAP CRM Dev
SAP SEM Dev
Once you create the systems and the alias to these systems, you can create 5 iviews, one for each of these systems using SAP transaction iviews. The transaction code could be S000.
To learn how to create systems and SAP Transaction iviews, use these links :
Creating system : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ec/0fe43d19734b5ae10000000a11405a/content.htm
Editing system -> Editing SAP System properties http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/11e43d19734b5ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
The above links should help you create SAP systems and their aliases.
Then you need to create SAP Transaction iviews:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/88/266a3e54a2e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
To open these iviews as a pop-up or in a new window, set the following property for each of these iviews in the property category "Drag and Relate" : Launch in New Window = Display in separate window.
Set the permission Read for Group Everyone for each of these iviews.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sunil

How to print line numbers in NWDS for Java?

Hi everyone,
does someone know how to print out program code with line numbers from the Netweaver Developer Studio for Java? This is inevitable for code reviews.
In Eclipse 3.4 this issue is solved. Is there possibly such a patch for NWDS as well?
Thanks,
Maria

Hi Pascal,
thanks for the quick reply. The setting you mention displays line numbers on the screen alright, but printing out does not work.
We use: SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio for SAP NetWeaver 7.1 SP06 PAT0000, Build id: 200807051938.
I guess it just does not work, because it was fixed only for Eclipse 3.4, and the above NWDS version bases on Eclipse 3.3.
What do you recommend for code inspections - copy/paste into PSPad or do you know a more comfortable practice?
Greetings
Maria
