SAP GUI 7.20 patch rollback

Hello all,
We are in the process of implementing SAP GUI 7.20 globally using Installation Servers.
I just wanted to pose a "what if" question...
Is there a way to roll back your SAP GUI's to a prior patch if SAP releases a GUI patch that causes major issues in our environment?
Ex: We are on patch 6, we update to patch 7 and there is a critical issue that was missed in QA, which breaks our production end users.
Can I simply apply the previous patch over the new one on the IS server? Or would I be at the mercy of OSS Messages and waiting for SAP to release a hot fix?
Thanks.

Hello Ben
no, that is not possible. The Patch scenario will compare the file versions during the
update. Only higher versions will copied to the client. A lower version does not copied
to the client.
It is only possible, that you deinstall the Sapgui with command line
nwsapsetup /uninstall /all /nodlg
Then you can install the Sapgui again, with the patchlevel you want.
Best Regards
Sven

SAP GUI 7.20 patch 2 and Telephony Issues

Our Call Centers are forced to delete phone numbers via t-code SPHB SAPphone: System Administration and then re-add them using tcode FPHA. This is the only way to re-enable the phone Pop-Up and the new SAP GUI 7.20 patch 2 is installed. I am looking for a fix but can't find anyting.

We finally came up with a work around as follows:
The issue with the SAPPhone on Windows 7 is a u201Csecurityu201D issue having UAC enabled. Windows 7 would not let SAP u201CAddu201D the SAPPhone registry key under HKLM\Software\SAP. This resulted in SAP saving the registry entries in the User section of the registry. No problem for the first/setup user but forced each additional user to re-run the setup.
We included a utility u201Cregini.exeu201D and a configuration file u201Csapphone.iniu201D to grant Local Administrators full rights to the SAPPhone registry key structure. This will allow the keys to be created in the common section of the registry available to all users on the workstation.
We have a Customer Message open on this as well. Microsoft does not recommend deactiviating UAC so once again Microsoft and SAP are not the same sheet of music. We hope SAP will come out with a long term solution other than deactivationg UAC.

RRI Jump Works with SAP GUI 7.20 Patch 3 but not with Patch 4

Hi,
I have an a RRI jump to an R/3 transaction working when executed via 7.20 GUI for Windows - Patch 3. However, the same jump does not work when executing with an updated GUI to patch level 4. There is no error message, nothing happens. I tried recreating the RRI with the new GUI patch and it didn't solve the problem.
I saw a couple of OSS Notes taking about enhanced security for patch 4, i.e. 1526048 & 1397000). Is this related?
Has anyone else had a similar issue?
Thanks,
Sheila

Hi Martin,
where did you get this info? Any official SAP note available? Do you encounter similar problems?
We, too, noticed that uploading and downloading files from directories with German Umlauts, this fails now,too. There may be problems with files, too, however, we did not check this so far. The previous SAP Gui, I guess it was 7.10, didn't have any problems with this.
I start wondering if SAP Germany have ever tested this? Or do they not use Umlauts anyway

How do I check if I need SAP GUI 7.10 Patch-Level 7?

Hi,
I have installed SAP GUI 7.10 client.
After restarting the PC, I tried to install the Patch-Level 7 but I got the message:
This SAP Front End Patch cannot be applied. Either this patch is already installed or the components to be patched are not yet installed at all.
My version for the SAPGUI installer is 2008.0.0.187
From Windows, I looked at the version for the installed file saplogon.exe, it is 7100.1.0.1027.
Does anyone know if my SAPGUI would require Patch-Level 7?
Thanks.
HY

Thanks for replying.
This is my SAP logon info, do it looks alright?
Release: 710 Final Release
File Name: saplogon.exe
File Version 7100.1.0.1027
Build: 0
Patch Level: 0
These are my installed component. Could it be that none of the below components need to be patched?
1. SAP GUI Suite
2. R/3 Add-on
3. General Add-on
4. Legacy Components
5. CRM Add-on

Problem in Installing SAP GUI 6.2 Patch 57

Hi friends,
Currently we have SAP GUI 6.2 version for Windows with Patch level 32. We need to update with Patch level 57. But, we are ending with an error saying SAP GUI front end needs to be installed. Could anyone please help in resolving this problem?
Thanks,
Sharmila

Hi,
We didn't apply SAP setup patch 12 which is a pre-requisite for applying patch level 57. Now it is working fine. Anyway, thank you for your guidance.
Thanks,

SAP GUI 7.20 Patch 4 server

Before opening a note to SAP I am going to post this issue here, I built a SAP GUI Server 7.20 from the latest CD and upgraded it patch level 4, and I have also created a package with certain components installed that we use.
http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae131/dendkmac/Work%20related/SAP_Install_Error_1.png

Hello Dennis
which OS do you use on the frontend where the sapgui should install?
A requirement is not fullfilled. Please check if all requirements are fulfilled on this frontend PC.
Normaly only the DOT NET 2.0 is a requirement for our sapadmin tioll and for the BEX.
Please check this notes
#1425805
#147519
But i think it is better, you open OSS message in Bc-FES-INS and tell me the message number.
Then i can see the log files.
best regards

SAP GUI 7.20 Patch 5 / 6 Problem

Dear all,
I installed the GUI 7.20 Patch 5 several weeks ago, since then the Transaction DB13 doesnt show the Planning calender.
It says "Determining version data" in the lower left corner and nothing else happens. With the help of SM04 I can cancel the transaction.
After the installation of Patch 6 the Transaction DB13 worked for one time. Since then it shows the same text "Determining version data".
My PC is running Windows 7 SP1, the Internetexplorer 9 is installed. Our SAP System ist a ERP 6 ABAP System with EHP4 installed.
Any idea?
Best Regards
Peter

Hallo Sven,
many thanks for your reply.
I can confirm that the RTM Version 9.0.8112.16421 is installed.

SAP GUI 720 (patch level 6) - Date field problem

Hello all,
in selection screens (like transaction IW38) some users use the F4 help and the enter key to select a date (like field "Period"): they jump with the tab key to the field, delete the current entry and then press F4 and hit the enter key in the popup to get today's date. (Reason: faster than using the mouse, they say...)
This does not work anymore with SAP GUI version 7.20: The enter key is not working in the popup. Does anyone know a fix for this or is it intended to work this way?
Thanks in advance for an answer!
Best regards
Daniel

Thanks for your reply. No, GuiXT is not active.
Interesting is:
I have a PC with an older version of SAP GUI 7.20 (patch level 2). There it works as previously with 7.10 (hitting the enter key in the calendar popup window works).
The reason is (haven't noticed that before), that in 7.20_2 the focus in the calendar popup is in the calendar itself (the lower part). In 7.20_6 the focus is on the top line, where the current date is displayed (like 29.08.2011), and the day is highlighted. The user has to press the tab key to jump from there down to the calendar, and then can press the enter key.
Now the question is: has this been changed from patch level 2 to 6, or is it an SAP GUI option, that can be changed (and that I cannot find)??
Best regards
Daniel

Can I restore SAP GUI patch level 5 from Patch level 7

Hi,
I updated SAP GUI 710 from patch level 5 to level 7, is it possible to revert this change to patch level 5 again, as our business requirement is only patch level 5.
How to restore it back?
Also, what changes made by SAP in patch level 7 from 5, 3 etc?
Thanks

Hi Martin
Thanks for answering my queries.
Reason for going back to patch 5 is to maintain all client of production system at one level.
Certainly using higer patch level will also includes all functionalities of lower level.
But, did someone try to load patch 5 on patch 7, does it work?
Becoz, I am in production, so not in very good position to take this risk.
What you ppl say?
There should be some way to restore your GUI to back date, is it!, like one we do to restore our windows machine.
