SAP GUI 6.4 with Windows XP

We have installed an application that uses Bapis with RFC.
The customer has installed SAP GUI 6.4 Patch level 14 and had Windows 2000 and our application run fine.
Now they have changed to SAP GUI 6.4 Patch Level 14 and Windows XP and as soon as we try to use BAPI's our application fails.
has somebody an idea which patch level we should install to avoid such problems?
The file librfc32.dll has the version 6404.4.xxx
thanks
Felix Rast

I would suggest installing the latest patch available at service.sap.com.

I've uninstalled all SAP installations, cleaned the registry of Windows XP and deleted all folders with SAP content. Then I've installed the SAP Gui 7.20 again and it works.
And now I will update the Screen Painter with the information from the OSS-Note!
Thank's for your help!

I've installed SAP in my PC with windows 2000 server family....... .......

I've installed SAP in my PC with windows 2000 server family... I want to upgrade my OS to XP. Can it be possible without unmounting SAP??? Please help me.

Hi Pratap,
SAP doesn't work with XP, it works only server Operating System.
But u can instal XP in the system without currupting the SAP.
Make sure that your HDD having atleast 3 partitions.
The first two partintions (Ex.C:/& D:/) may have 2000 Server and SAP respectively.
In the 3rd Partition (Ex.E:/) u can instal XP. but better to not touch 1st two Partitions
To Instal XP follow these steps.
Insert XP OS CD
Restat the System
follow installation procedure according CD
Finally select E:/ to install XP.
Pls let me know your feedback

Installing SAP GUI on 64-bit Windows 7 with 32-bit Office

Until about 6 months ago, 64-bit systems in my environment had 64-bit Office 2010 installed. That caused some problems with other applications, so I made the decision that, going forward, ALL systems would have 32-bit Office 2010 installed.
Apparently, it's taken 6 months, but I finally have a need to Install SAP GUI 7.20 Patch 6 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system with 32-bit Office 2010. It turns out, that doesn't work.
I receive this:
Not all package prerequisits [sic] are fulfilled
Outlook Client extension for the synchronization of SAPoffice calendar with Outlook calendar... No compatible version of Microsoft Outlook found.
I am assuming that since this same installation works on my 32-bit systems, that it is upset about my architecturally-mismatched Office.
Am I correct about the source for this problem? If so, is there anything I can do to make the GUI work in this environment?

Hi John,
Actually, there is no mismatch in having 32-bit Office installed on 64-bit Windows. In fact, this is probably the preferred environment. SAPGUI in general is much happier with 32-bit Office, especially older patches (by the way, 7.20 is no longer in support -- you should upgrade to 7.30).
The errors you're receiving are most probably related to lingering 64-bit components of Office on your workstation. We had the same situation in my office a while back, when we first started rolling out 64-bit Windows to a few users, and the PC techs mistakenly thought that meant they had to install 64-bit Office. That caused lots of problems, since 64-bit Office is incompatible with many things, not just SAPGUI, as you found. Correcting the error by simply reinstalling Office 32-bit resulting in workstations with some 64-bit and some 32-bit components, and that just made things worse. Systems where 32-bit Office was installed from the beginning (on 64-bit OS) had no problems at all.
So, what you're probably going to need to do is to uninstall all Office components (including Outlook, Visio, anything like that, not just Word and Excel), and also uninstall your SAPGUI, then reinstall 32-bit Office (with Outlook) from scratch, then reinstall your SAPGUI. This will probably clear up your problem.

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.

SAP GUI Memory issues on Windows Terminal Server 2003!!

Hi All
We are currently experiencing serious issues with our terminal servers and SAP GUI. It appears that SAP GUI is consuming a large amount of memory inorder to run, which in term is causing our terminal servers to page more.
I am not sure where to start with this issue so any help would be great!
Thanks
Phil
Loads of points if someone helps me solve this!!!

Citrix won´t help much, it´s "just" a different protocol between the client and the server, Citrix itself will use even more memory.
Why are you sure, that the reason for this is the SAPGUI and not any other Office program?
Let´s calculate:
I´m writing this message on a TS too. My Outlook (2003) consumes ~ 32 MB memory (incl. virtual), I have 4 SAPGUI windows open which consume 64 MB and some telnet sessions (no Word, Excel etc.)
Let say roughly 128 MB all in all.
If you have 2000 users with 20 servers, means, 100 users on one server, that would be 12,8 GB memory - not caclulated other services running on that box (printserver etc.) including the operating system itself.
If your users have Internet Explorer (or other browsers) open too, you will need to add that amount too. 128 MB per user is the minimum.
If users use BEx (or other .NET based BI developer tools), that amount will doubled (at least).
SAP recommends a PC with at least 256 MB memory to run a SAPGUI with acceptable performance, do you have that much per users? How big are your single servers?

Edited by: srinivas kaveti on Apr 4, 2008 9:16 PM

Hi Srinivas,
You should set "login/no_automatic_user_sapstar=0", in the SAP profile. With ECC 6.0, default sapstar user deactivated. You can take a look at OSS note #68048, for detailed information.

Can you raise this in ABAP community ?
Also, to help you further can you drill down to some more relevant information ?
As far as one can understand, it's a rendering problem with SAP GUI 730.
This can also be compatibility issue with your kernel and application.
I would suggested you to check all above options.

Problem runing virtualized SAP GUI 7.1 with APP-V 5.0 SP2

Hello,
We have been try to virtualize SAP GUI 7.1 on APP-V 5 SP2, the sequencing with app-v 5 sp2 is successful and SAP can be run correctly on the sequencer machine, however, when the application is streamed to the user and run, it immediately stops and throws
the following error. I see some articles about how to virtualize SAP 7.1 with previous versions of APP-V but none on app-v 5.
Is SAP 7.1 not compatible with APP-V 5 SP2 ?
Has anyone seen this behavior before ?
Thanks for your help,

Is there a 64 bits version of SAP GUI 7.20 for Windows?

Dear Experts:
I have found SAP GUI version 7.20 in Sap Marketplace, but it doesn't say anything about supporting 64 bits operating system (Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits)?
Should I use the 32 bit version?
Thank you very much,
Mr.Clinker

Hello Clinker,
Still SAPGUI 64 bit version not available. You can use SAPGUI 32 bit version in 64bit OS. It will work.

SAP GUI session crashes in Windows 7

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and I'm using SAP GUI 7.10 compilation 4 / patch 14.
Here's what happened:
- i've logged into SAP client, entered a standard transaction (ESWTMON01 or EDATEXMON01), pressed click on a switch document or ID POD and then freezes.
On my screen I have the transaction screen and the busy pointer of the mouse, nothing else.
I've looked into SapWorkDir folder for a trace file (sapfewdll_01_0002_00_2176_1408.err.trc)
Here's the content:
(Error)(02.02.10 09:58:56.253):    CALL METHOD "CreateControl"[DispID=5] OF [#8/0x052A70B8/101/{83658045-6571-3232-7082-797884697868}]

                    #3: LONG "128"
IDispatch::Invoke raised exception
Does anybody know what's the cause of this crash? is it SAP GUI, the patch, my OS?
I've tried every standard transaction in SAP IS-U, it works for a couple of minutes, then SAP GUI freezes.
I can only stop the session from Task Manager.
If someone had this problem before, I'd be more than glad to hear a solution.
Thank you,
Eduard M.

Hello Eduard
Try to register the gridview.ocx manually in Windows 7 system.
From Start->Accessories, right click on "Command Prompt" option and select "Run as Administrator".
Now in the command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32 folder
Now type regsvr32 <path>\gridview.ocx
E.g: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\gridview.ocx"
The registration should be successful.
Hope this should resolve the issue.
Regards,
Dinesh
