SAP GUI for Windows

I am trying to have SAP UWL Tasks open in the SAP GUI for Windows instead of the SAP GUI for HTML. I have created new folders "Customization"->"Universal Worklist" and created delta linked copies of all the iViews found in "Portal Users"->"Standard Portal Users"->"Universal Worklist".
Then I went to the System Administration->System Configuration->Universal Worklist & Workflow-> Universal Worklist-Administration->Optional Universal Worklist Service Configuration and changed the "Path to the UWL iViews to the pcd location of the new folder (portal_content/com.myl.custom/com.myl.uwl).
Then I opened the UWL - Launch SAP Transaction iView (my delta linked copy) and changed the SAP GUI Type to "SAP GUI for Windows".
I thought this was all I needed to do but when I open an SAP task from the UWL it opens the same as it did before - I see no difference at all. Any help is appriciated and rewarded.

I just noticed that the XML content for the configuration has the SAPIACLauncher as the handler instead of the SAPTransactionLauncher...
So Now I have created a new configuration with each transaction is set similar to this:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS20000194.RS4" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="webflowView" defaultAction="launchSAPAction" executionMode="pessimistic">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="RS4" externalType="TS20000194" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchSAPAction" userDecision="no" handler="SAPTransactionLauncher">
          <Properties>
          <Property name="GuiType" value="WinGUI"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
However - when I open an SAP task from the UWL it opens the same as it did before - I see no difference at all. Any help is appriciated and rewarded.

TA,
try to clear cache under
System Administration->System Configuration->Universal Worklist & Workflow-> Universal Worklist-Administration->Cache Administration Page
Thanks

Transaction IView -- SAP GUI for Windows

Hi,
I have created a transaction iview -- sap gui for windows in my portal.
Even thought i logoff from my portal, sap gui session that is opened is not closed.
Can any one please suggest me a way to stop sap gui session also when i logoff from my portal.
Regards,
Nidhideep.

Very difficult. The SAPGUI window doesn't know anything about being launched by the portal.
You could try launching inside the portal content area.
Also, what is the problem with having the SAPGUI still open?
Cheers

Hide back option from sap gui for windows in transaction iview

Dear experts,
sir i m using sap gui for windows in transaction iview in the enterprise portal is there any process to hide the back option or hide command window(in which we write transaction) from the transations iview from the portal not from the registry please help sir............

Hello,
We have faced the same problem and after two days investigating we think it is imposible to hide back button, toolbar ... via wingui (sapgui for windows).
So, be careful with the end user that has access to this iview/role, because he will see the transaction menu also.
I hope this clarify you a bit more.
have a nice day.

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 for Windows - Extended Notification

Hello All,
I have set up the extended notifications for outlook integration with sap workitem.
Subscription settings are as follows:
SHOW_ACTION_DECISION_AS     - Link
SHOW_ACTION_DISPLAY_AS      - Link2
SHOW_ACTION_EXECUTE_AS      - Link2
SHOW_INBOX_AS                         - Link2
I am receiving the work item on outlook successfully.
Now the thing is, when i click on display/execute/workflow inbox link; it is opening the SAP GUI for html & giving error "host not found". As per my subscription settings, it should open the work item in SAP GUI for windows.
I am using the general task TS..8267 & not defined any SWFVISU config to overwrite SWNCONFIG.
Do i have to make any other setting so that my http link "Workflow Inbox"/"Display Work Item"/"Execute Work Item" gets open in SAP GUI for windows and not in SAP GUI for html?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Y Sharma

Markus,
with all respect, but this is nonsens, I mean not your answer, but SAP's policy.
Today I can customize Windows, webpages (if implemented), my Android smartphone, with all colors, icons and much more.
SAP is ages back in time, I would dare to say that SAP even made a huge step backwards with the new design and should re-think its policy.
How many times customers have asked for a custom-colored GUI? Countless, I would say. Speaking from the point of a developer it is important to see at first glance which systems I've logged on, and believe me we have plenty of it.

Michael

Iview (sap gui for windows) not in mode full screen

Hi all,
I was last week working in a performance problem with ITS. We discovered that ITS (sap gui for html) is not the best when you have to show a lot of cells in the same page.
So the custom decided to run this transaction thru the portal, using an iview.
The problem now is that we dont want to show the sap menu, the transaction menu. Also we want this screen integrated in the browser. I have checked the options and looks like correct.
Launch in New Window = Display in content portal area.
I know that with ITS we can modify the menu, with somethink like this:
~WEBGUI_SIMPLE_TOOLBAR = 34
Is this possible with SAP Transaction iView fo sapgui windows?
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day experts.

Hi,
In short, the answer is, yes.
There is however some additonal considerations you can make before creating hybrid roles with Web/Win Gui iviews.
When you start this scenario you don't have a standardised environment. You need to ensure all users accessing the iview have the Win Gui installed - again overhead, particularly when displaying inline of the webpage - even more of an issue when serving content to the outside world.
Have you tried to create a page (set the width to what you think can accomodate the requirements of the transaction you are calling), then assign the iView of the WebGui transaction you were having issues with to that? It should dynamically resize the iview to the page within the content area to allow your users to scroll to the right if need be. Just a thought.
Another scenario is to create a Z-App and enhance the screen of the SAP ABAP transaction to meet your needs, then call that transaction via the webgui. You can do much with webgui you can't do with WinGui e.g you can send users email that references the portal iView and send parameters via url query strings to prepopulate screen fields. You can control how users navigate within the portal.
Hope this helps.

Visibility of SAP content (webdynpro iviews) in SAP GUI for windows

Hi
Is it possible to view SAP created webdynpro for ABAP content (previously only used through portal) through the standard GUI for Windows.
Even if it is a transaction that kicks off a url, that links to this webdynpro iView, but the backend needs to be used.

Hi,
You don't need a portal to use WD ABAP applications. The WD ABAP application will be launched in a standard browser window.

[BUG] SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 Patch 7 Cleartype Problem

I'd like to post bug i've found after installation of patch level 7.
OS: Windows XP SP3 (with last updates) - Using Cleartype in Display Properties > Appearance > Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts
SAP GUI: 7200.3.7.1066 build 1259430 Patch Level 7
After installation of Patch Level 7 texts in standard List Viewer (e.g. transaction SE10 list of transports), all text look really ugly. Before this patch up to level 6 they looked just fine. Now as something has been changed in this update, it looks like no Cleartype is used for these texts. So they are not easy readable.
So I'd like to ask if there's any setting that can correct this? Or I'll have to wait for some future updates, as I can't go level back?

Hi,
thank you for answer.
But to clarify this. I used SAP GUI 7.20 from first version till patch Level 6.2
gui720_06_2-10007878.exe
without any problems. Texts were using ClearType = they looked nice. Then without any change of my font settings, just after installation of patch level 7
gui720_7-10007878.exe
, problem appeared. I tried this on more machines with same result. And I was not able to change this behavior with any change of fonts in configuration.
Basically:
before patch level 7 - nice fonts
after patch level 7 - ugly, very hard to read fonts in List View (any transaction like SE10, testing of class method)
So for me it looks like some change in Patch level 7 made texts look ugly - without ClearType. So it's harder for me to read texts.
And as I'm not able to go back to patch 6.2, maybe (if I'll have some time) I'll have to reinstall SAP GUI without installation of Patch Level 7.
But nice thing I noticed on patch level 7 was, that I was finally able to use command "Outlining>Collapse All" in code editor without crash of SAP GUI ;).

Connect to SAP R/3 using SAP GUI for HTML through saprouter

Hello,
I have my system running on my intranet, but I need to connect some support enginners through an Internet connection. Nowadays some users can connect to QAS and PRO systems using SAP GUI for windows and java with the saprouter string, but the support enginners are using SAP GUI for HTML, do I need a special string or configuration so html users can connect to my system from the Internet?
Thanks in advance.

thanks, I can get the data from SAP R/3 to crystal report.
but still dont know how to do the second question mentioned in previous message:
once the table I want to get the data from is a cluster, and have found the mapping data dictionary of this data cluster, which displayed in crystal report connection as well, however, the data is not what I wanted.

Image not displaying properly for SAP GUI for HTML transaction iview

Hi,
We have a sap gui for HTML iview for transaction REORRR in portal. After giving enough inputs this leads to Business Document Navigator screen(part of Document management) where i need to display a document(.jpg image in this scenario). When i double click on the image it is opening on the right side of the screen but in a compressed format where in we need to scroll down to see the image. But i would require the image to display with out scroll bar or in a new window.
When i change the format of the iview as SAP GUI for Windows the image is opening in a new window.
I would like to know whether there is any configaration settings either in portal or in Document management side. or is this any limitation of the SAP GUI for HTML scenario.
regards
Bharat.

Hi,
You can open this iview in a new window make the setting in the iview properties that will allow the iview to be opend in a new window.
