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.

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.

SAP GUI for Java 7.00 rev 4 - bug in ABAP download

When I try to download ABAP source code or when I use "Edit Locally" in SE38 (the easiest way how to write/edit programs with a comfortable editor), ABAP source is downloaded to my computer with trailing 0x00 bytes. It has small side-effect in Local Editing: new code with this block is uploaded into SAP and syntax check of such program fails.
Using 7.00 rev 3 works fine.
Has anybody idea how to eliminate this bug?
Wishlist, but to another forum: It will be really nice to assign hot-key to this menu item in SE38.
Thank you,
Pavel

Hello Pavel,

This is a bug in SAP GUI for Java 7.00 rev 4 and we will fix this in the next revision.

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.

SAP GUI for Java 7.10 rev 7 - strange behavior using mouse

Hi,
I use last revision of SAP GUI for Java 7.10 on linux and I've noticied that some mouse actions do not work as expected. I'll use describe an examples:
(1)
In rev.6 I simly push button on screen and move over text, text is marked and then I can use CTRL-C to copy text to clipboard.
In rev.7 pushing button and move does nothing. I need one initial click more and then it works as expected.
(2)
Click to icon in an ABAP list sometimes activate another icon from screen (it seems that focus isn't moved from its previous position to new mouse cursor position).
Because rev.7 has been released at the end of 2008, it is possible, that some dotted revision (solving these troubles) has been released, does anybody know solution?
Thank you for some hints,
Pavel

Hello Pavel,
we have not yet been aware of such issues, so a newer dotted version would likely not make a difference.
(1) The behavior pretty much depends on the specific component you are clicking and selecting its text.
So a specific test case identifying the component is required to investigate the issue.
(2) Also for this case I ask to provide the exact context, even if it happens there only "sometimes".
Please provide also information requested in [note 326558|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/326558], parts 2.) and 3.)
If you could provide all this as part of a [support message|http://service.sap.com/message] would be great.

From which site I can download SAP GUI for Java 7.00 or 7.10 for MaC os 10.4 or 10.5 version

SAP GUI for Java - Problem

Hi!
When I try to open a new mode in SAP GUI for Java (Release 7.10 rev 4 with Java Version 1.5.0_15-b04), I receive the following error:
Error when starting "gmux server"!
JniGmuxManager status = -1
Has anybody got an idea how to fix this?
Regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
that could have many reasons like incomplete installation of SAP GUI for Java, unresolved dependencies (to dynamically linked libraries like C/C++ runtimes) etc.
What platform?
Is there any output on the console?
I suggest to file a bugreport on http://service.sap.com/message and add a trace according to [note 683960|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/683960].
