SAP GUI 7.20 - sapmsg.ini and saproute.ini location

I have installed SAP GUI 7.20 and I moved the saplogon.ini to a folder different from C:\WINDWOS, but message server and SAProuter are still pointing to C:\WINDOWS\SAPMSG.INI and C:\WINDWOS\SAPROUTE.INI.
I don't like these files on WINDOWS, How can I move them to another location and SAP GUI still can read them?
Many Thanks in advance,
Fernando.

Hello Fernando,
please see note 38119.

Error messages Sap gui 7.1 pl 6 and 7 + guixt

Hello,
We have a problem with SAP GUI 7.10 PL 6 and 7 in combination with GUIXT 2008-Q2-1. When the user is starting a transaction that is combined with GUIXT, they are getting mostly three error messages:
Message 1:
"Not enough memory - please increase virtual memory (get memory:length=25728 file=C:\Source\grilb\..\grlib\smtable.cpp line=13)"
Message 2:
"Not enough memory for internal table (table name=cntl occu=32 leng=804)"
Message 3:
"PRD: maximum work process hold time execeeded"
The problems occur since patch level 6. We tried somes solutions:
Solution 1:
Install the newest version of GUIXT, no results.
Solution 2:
Upgrade SAP GUI with patch level 7, no results.
Solution 3:
Uninstall SAP GUI 7.1 PL 7 and reinstall an older version of SAP GUI 7.1 PL3, the problem is solved.
Can someone tell me what these error messages mean and if there has been a bug in SAP GUI 7.10 patch level 6 and 7?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Matthew,
I do not know whether A. De Cesare and Steve Wojnicki still see this issue in their installations. In my comment above I suggested to use a higher SAP GUI patch level (PL8 or above).
We (Synactive) could not yet find out what is causing this problem; a couple of installations reported it in the past. What we found out is that
- the error occurs with SAP GUI 7.10 PL6 and PL7, but never occured in earlier patch levels or in later patch levels
- it occurs on certain PCs only, but we do not know what differentiates those PCs from others that run the same application+scripts without problems

SAP GUI 7.20 for Windows and problem with Screen Painter

Hello,
I just installed the SAP GUI 7.20 for Windows and it looks good.
But when when I start the Screen Painter for a dynpro I get the following message:
Graphical Layout Editor not available. Continue with alphanumeric editor.
And: EU_SCRP_WN32 Connection broken '..' / CPIC
The SCreen Painter is installed correctly (I can start ist manually from file system) and the RFC destination works.
Any idea?
Regards,
Ole.

Hello,
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!

Ole.

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.

SAP GUI 7.10 overwrites SAP GUI 6.40 once installed and any problem

Hi,
Currently I am using SAP GUI 6.40 for my SAP logon,
but if I install the Internet explorer 7.0 then in SAP transactions F1 help information will not support for this and information on the screen will be blank.
As per my understanding if we use SAP GUI 6.40 we cann't use the Internet explorer version 7.0. I heard by using SAP GUI 7.10 we can use the Internet Explorer 7.0 with out any problem to F1 help in SAP transactions.
I have got the path to download the SAP GUI 7.10. If I install will it automatically upgrades the older version, and no more we can use SAP GUI 6.40.Because I am functional consultant I don't know deep about that. So if any problem occurs during the Installation of SAP GUI 7.10 then my SAP log on will be in problem and cann't use the same SAP GUI 6.40.
Please share your information on this.How I can go about that without any problem to my SAP activities upon installation. Is there Basis consultant is required for this.

Bug fix for SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 and MS Internet Explorer 7.00

With upgrading your MS Internet Explorer to release 7.00 and running SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 the GUI controls based on HTML might work no longer properly. To fix this bug it is neseccary to patch your SAP GUI to patchlevel 23. Download the https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/00ebf59c-4c84-2910-dea9-a40963adc659 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] and run the exe-file on the machine where the SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 is installed.

Unfortenately it still doesn't work properly with this patch. Using Tx sbwp, se80 or pftc you have still the same GUI control problems.

SAP GUI 7.20 and Animated Messages in Status Bar

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to disable "animated" display of messages in status bar when Signature Design is active? Currently messages are scrolled from left to right and then fade in. (Please note that this is a different from "Animated Focus" or "Animation" feature and only unique to Signature Design Theme). It would be nice to disable the animation so messages are immediately displayed without disabling Signature Design. I have asked this question in the past and there was basically no way to accomplish this. Is there any hope that this would be included in future patches for SAP GUI 7.20?
Thank you!
Abdul

Daniel,
Have you had any luck with this issue? We recently installed SAP GUI 7.20 patch 2 and are having similar issues. While working in t-code SWDD, "Workflow Builder", I am automatically logged out of SAP and the LOGON pad also closes out and I forced to sign back in. This is happening when I drag and drop an event into a step and enter in information that should normally prompt a warning/error message after hitting the "Enter" key.
Thanks in advance.

SAP GUI Crash and/or hung up

We have an application that emulate the user interaction with SAP application and use SAP GUI scripting (GUI for window) from VB module to interact with SAP application and perform various operations on SAP window. The operation performed during that exercise are inputting values, search a node in tree, search a value in table, input value in a table cell, click on button, send virtual keys to sap window, interacting with context menu etc etc.. Operations that need to perform on SAP GUI are organized into 'tests" and are performed in a serial fashion. A same test (sequence of operations) can be performed any number of times on a given SAP application.
Lately, we have seen that either SAP Gui crashes or become unresponsive at random when a set of operations (test) are being performed iteratively on SAP GUI. The same test executed correctly many times but at random iteration it become completely unresponsive and hung up.
Although, SAP Gui hang up occurred at a random iteration but we've noticed that if there were two sap instances on the machine then this behavior is noticed much earlier and it is almost certain to get to this sate if an ECATT is running in another sap window but still not able to establish a particular pattern and some time same tests were executed correctly in all the above mentioned scenarios. However, when problem occurred, it usually happen just after the operations that have caused SAP GUI to do a server round trip like click on button or scrolling a table etc but still it was quite random and was unable to establish a pattern.
When SAP GUI hung up then not only it becomes completely unresponsive, but it also hung up any application they tries to interact with SAP GUI scripting object. At this point, any attempt to make any references to any scripting object or even a fresh attempt to connect to scripting object model also hung up that application. The only way out at that point is to kill SAP Gui from the task manager and once SAP Gui killed then all application that was previously hang up start to resume execution!
SAP GUI for Window 7.1 patch 7 and path 11 are being used.
Any help shall be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gary,
You could also reach a point where your backend ABAP instance Kernel version plus SAP-BASIS component will have problems with a unsupported SAP GUI. Your W2's will leverage an Adobe Document Server, ADS, or smart form technology. You will experience rendering issues eventually.
It's a vicious circle of Desktop Office Integration. With Microsoft 8.1 and Microsoft Office 2013 there were a lot correction's pushed out in SAP GUI 7.30.

Hello Veer .
Please try to do the following ...
<b>ORA-01017: Invalid username/password; logon denied</b>
Message ORA-01017 can occur both in step 1a) and in step 1b) or 2). Depending on this, the problem can be corrected as follows:
1a) log entries: Logon as OPS$ user to get <sapowner>'s password
                  Connecting as /@<sid> on connection 0 ...
ERROR => OCI-call 'olog' failed: rc = 1017
ERROR => CONNECTfailed with sql error '1017'
If you intend to use the standard password for <sapowner> anyway, you can ignore the error message at this point, as the OPS$ mechanism is not needed at all and the connect is carried out using <sapowner>/sap successfully afterwards. Note, however, that BR*TOOLS require a working OPS$ mechanism when executing via DB13!
           Otherwise, make sure that an appropriate OPS$ user is set up. To do this, proceed as follows:
Check whether the parameter
os_authent_prefix = ops$
is set correctly in init<sid>.ora. If you have to make a change, restart the database afterwards.
On Windows, make sure that the following parameter is set in sqlnet.ora:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
Determine which operating system user <os_user> wants to create the connection. If this involves a connect initiated out of the R/3 System (for example, work process connect, DB13 actions), user <sid>adm is used under UNIX and user sapservice<sid> under NT. If you manually called the program that executes the connect, the user you are using is decisive here.
Use SVRMGRL to check whether the user OPS$<os_user> (or OPS$<domain>\ <os_user> for NT with Oracle >= 8.1.5) has been created at database level:
SELECT * FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME = 'OPS$<os_user>';
(for <os_user>, always use upper case)
If the system does not return an entry, create the user:
CREATE USER "OPS$<os_user>" DEFAULT TABLESPACE <user_tsp>
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
Note that the name of the OPS$ user must be specified completely in uppercase letters (also the host and domain names in case of NT and W2K), since a logon as OPS$ user will not work if it is not:
wrong:   CREATE USER "OPS$c11adm" DEFAULT TABLESPACE ...
          CREATE USER "OPS$sapdom\C11ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE ...
correct: CREATE USER "OPS$C11ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE ...
           CREATE USER "OPS$SAPDOM\C11ADM" DEFAULT TABLESPACE ...
Tablespace <user_tsp> is used when newly creating objects, when no explicit tablespace name is specified. In connection with R/3, this is almost never the case. Therefore, you can specify any tablespace. Proposal:
         R/3 <= 4.6D: <user_tsp> = PSAPUSER1D
        R/3 >= 6.10: <user_tsp> = PSAP<sid>USR
Check whether the OPS$ user has sufficient authorizations. The following statement must at least return CONNECT and RESOURCE:
SELECT GRANTED_ROLE FROM DBA_ROLE_PRIVS
WHERE GRANTEE = 'OPS$<os_user>';
If CONNECT and/or RESOURCE is missing, you can grant theseauthorizations as follows:
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO "OPS$<os_user>";
If all the settings described above have been made correctly on NT/ Windows 2000, but the error ORA-01017 is still displayed during the OPS$ Connect, the cause may be a start user set incorrectly for the SAP Service. Change to the services overview of the operating system and check the user who starts the service SAP<sid>_<instance_number>. If the user is not sapservice<sid>, enter sapservice<sid>. Other users (such as the local administrator) do not have an OPS$ user in the database, which leads to error ORA-01017. Check also whether the start user sapservice<sid> is a local user or a domain user. Domain users can be identified by the preceding domain name. Depending on this, the following OPS$ user should exist on database level:
Domain user:    <domain>\sapservice<sid>
OPS$ user:       OPS$<domain>\sapservice<sid>
Local user:      sapservice<sid>
OPS$ user:       OPS$<local_host>\sapservice<sid>
1b) log entries: Logon as OPS$ user to get <sapowner>'s password
                  Connecting as /@<sid> on connection 0 ...
                  Now I'm connected to ORACLE
                  Got <sapowner>'s password from table SAPUSER
                  Disconnecting from connection 0 ...
                  Now I'm disconnected from ORACLE
                  Try to connect with the password I got from OPS$-user
                  Connecting as <sapowner>/<pwd>@<sid> on connection 0
ERROR => OCI-call 'olog' failed: rc = 1017
ERROR => CONNECTfailed with sql error '1017'
           An ORA-01017 message at this point indicates an incorrect <sapowner> password in the SAPUSER table. In this situation, proceed as follows.
Set the password consistently in SAPUSER and in the Oracle DDIC using the following BRCONNECT call (BRCONNECT >= 6.10):
brconnect -u system/<password> -f chpass -o <sapowner> -p <password>
Otherwise, change the password in the SAPUSER table:
DELETE FROM "OPS$<sid>ADM".SAPUSER;
INSERT INTO "OPS$<sid>ADM".SAPUSER VALUES ('<sapowner>', '<password>');
Important: The SAPUSER table should only exist once in every system: for OPS$<sid>ADM. For this reason, only execute the above-mentioned statements for OPS$<sid>ADM - irrespective of the operating system user actually being used. All other OPS$ users can access the SAPUSER table using a synonym.
If the connect still terminates in the same way, check once more the section "General checks".
2) log entries: Try to connect with default password
                Connecting as <sapowner>/<pwd>@<sid> on connection 0
ERROR => OCI-call 'olog' failed: rc = 1017
ERROR => CONNECT failed with sql error '1017'
If you want to use the standard password sap and do not need the OPS$ mechanism, reset the <sapowner> password to sap:
ALTER USER <sapowner> IDENTIFIED BY sap;
If you do not want to use the standard password, the error cannot be avoided at this point. Set up the OPS$ mechanism as described above instead.

Rahul

Unable to Print Purchase order automatically using SAP GUI for JAVA

Hi SAP gurus,
Some of the PC's in our company use windows and some LINUX. Therefore we use two types of SAP GUI. One for windows and the other one JAVA. PO approval was set to print automatically. In a windows setting, there are no problems with this setup. But in SAP GUI for JAVA, no print outs are produced and no error messages are displayed. I am using SAP GUI for JAVA version 7.10 ver 6. and I use Front end printing for linux access method G.
please help,
gungertz

hi gungertz,
You can use U type access method for printing SAP document using linux desktop.
Please refer to my blog posting here (http://sapbasis.wordpress.com/2007/08/23/print-sap-documents-using-linux/)

SAP GUI 7.10 Compatibility with ECC6 EHP4

Hello,
My company is on SAP GUI 7.10 Patch 8 and we are looking to install EHP 4 on our ECC6 system. Can someone tell me if we need to apply the latest patch to SAP GUI for EHP 4 support?
Does anyone know if there are known issues with SAP GUI 7.10 Patch 8 and EHP 4 if we do not patch?
Thanks,
Pete

Hello,
We did not find any issue with this, hope all goes well with you.

SAP GUI 7.10 - What are your experiences?

Hi All,
We are considering updating our GUI from 6.20 to 7.10. Has anyone out there done this? If so, did you come across any problems i.e. versions of Windows that it does not work on?
Has anyone used the GUI in a Citrix environment? If so, was there a greater overhead on the servers?
Does the GUI have any compatibility issues with older versions of MS Office?
Any comments will be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi
There are some points that are defined and you must have read these in the documents:
a) *SAP web dynpro Active Component Framework (ACF)* - framework to integrate Active Components (ActiveX / Java Applets) into the Web dynpro.
    At the present there are two supported Components:
          Office Integration
          Adobe Integration
b) BI pre calculation service for MS Excel u2013 you can install BI frontend as a standalone.
     SAPSprint u2013 server-based printing on Windows (formerly SAPLPD)
     SAP GUI Screen Reader Extension u2013 an interface allows a screen reader to access the SAP GUI object model at runtime and select the required information for speech and Braille output. It is based on SAP GUI Scripting API.
c) In case GUI was installed from an installation server users have the possibility to enable automatic update from this server.
d) System tabstrip of SAP Logon pad has a new popup window with tabstrips
e) New frontend editor u2013 for ABAP programming. Is integrated to ABAP workbench (TA: SE*), SE38, SE37, SE24). Its new user interfaces and is completely customizable. Frontend editor integrates all modern code editing features like: code hints, code completion, .
f) New debugger u2013 has a high volume of new and known functions that can be called using menus or icons. It requires an additional external session where it runs.
But there are some problems that we faced:
a) Sometimes it happens that after installing this gui the Internet Explorer corrupts.
b) Users faced some initial trouble to add the new systems in SAPGui as it is little bit complex.
c) Some performance issues when used on low end desktops.
d) But make sure to make a copy of *.xla file. It may give you problems.
But strangly when we installed for Citrix we were happy that we were out or any big problems.
Here are some notes for your reference
Note 1144671 - New SAP Installer for SAPGUI for Windows 7.10
Note 138869 - SAP GUI on Windows Terminal Server (WTS)

SAP GUI for HTTML??

Hello All,
There is a dump when I am trying to execute a Finance Custom Development excel Upload program - Transaction code: ZFI_GL_UPL in EP 7.0 Portal on F4 help for file path in selection screen.. Runtime error u2018JAVABEANNOTSUPPORTEDu2019.
If I am executing same transaction code in SAP GUI it is working fine.We are using ECC 6.0..
Whether I need to activate any service in ICF??Whether SAP Gui for HTML supports the above??

Prachi,
As suggested in earlier post, have you checked Support Package level of SAP_BASIS component in your system. It should be in patch level 17 to avoid all program errors retaed to HTML GUI. If it is same or above and still you are facing the same problem then you can confirm the SAP GUI version at your end and its patch level.

Automatic closing of SAP GUI generated by RRI in WAD

BW experts,
I am having a showstopper scenario in our project. Basically i have a webbased report produced by WAD 7.0 and it is working correctly. I have an RRI connected to it. The RRI receiver is an ABAP program which we execute based from the item in WAD (i.e document number).
However, it always open 2 browsers. 1 is for the SAP Gui session generated by RRI and 2nd browser is open due to the code we have in our abap which calls a browser (CALL_BROWSER).
My question now is, is there a way to put an IF-THEN condition somewhere, perhaps in javascript, where the 1st SAP gui session can be killed immediately and the 2nd browser opened?
I have already used different components like RRI, ClOSE_WINDOW, Script_item in WAD but with no avail.
Any ideas is highly appreciated.

Hello,
Im glad that you answered me. Your feedback was helpful for me and a source of good news for our project.
I saw the B1DE form generator, it is still axed on the screen painter, and also I saw Ibais project.
I realize that SBO developers need a more powerful tool for developing their add-ons. For the same reason we have started this project and well continue to develop it.
This is not just a .srf generator and converter. A powerful feature is that our visual objects have implemented the business objects from DI API (of course you choose with what business objects the visual objects are associated, obviously for performance reasons). The business logic can be made at the designer level. It is improper to say that they generate code because the code is embedded in the visual objects, and no code line is added. For example a complex choose from list can be made in a few minutes without any code writing. In a month the SBO UI add-on generator will be ready. So you can have the add-on developed with Axel Controls in Windows forms without writing hundreds of lines, and additionally with a click the SBO UI add-on will be generated automatically (srfs, functionality, menu and the .exe). And lets not forget that the Windows forms solution made with Axel Controls has the same feel and look as the SBO.
If you still have ideas or suggestions please post them.
Regards,
Andrei Baciu.
