SAP GUI Settings?

I must have a different SAP GUI than some of my colleagues beacause I can only seem to dis[play in gray and white. I tried everything and cannot change my colors to the standard SAP sky blue. Do I have a different GUI? Or does someone know a way to accomplish this....Thank-You.

Hi Tom,
You must have GUI setting default to clasic theme.
I am not sure what is your SAP GUI version now.
I have SAP GUI 7.10 where you can go to tweak SAP GUI to change your theme.
But please try go to your SAP Front End folder and see whether you have GUI Setting exe.file. I remember in the old version SAP GUI logon, there is an option (button) to switch from classic to enjoy theme.
Path: Start (your PC) -> All Progams -> SAP Front End -> ... -> in here change your theme.

SAP Gui 7.20 Configure Color Settings Greyed Out

Hi, I have installed the new SAP Gui 7.20 patch 1 on 2 machines at my company. On one machine we can easily change the color settings for each theme. On the other PC, we can not go into "Configure Color Settings" to change the colors for any theme. The button is greyed out. I followed the extact same installation procedure and have the same access to both as well.
Has anyone seen this issue before and know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Marty

Another classic SAP problem where the solution involves patting your head while simultaneously scratching your nuts and jumping up and down.
Follow these steps:
1. open SAP Login Pad.
2. open up a client and click on the 'Customise Local Layout' icon (Alt + F12).
3. Select 'Options...'
4. Select the ironically named 'Enjoy Theme'.
5. Click 'Apply'
6. Click on 'Ok' and close the client windows and the SAP Logon Pad. Note: you must close restart the SAP Login Pad for the them changes to take effect.
7. open the SAP Login Pad.
8. open up a client and click on the 'Customise Local Layout' icon (Alt + F12).
9. Select 'Options...'
10. click on 'Colors in System'
11. select your favourite colour and click on 'Apply'.
12. click on 'Ok'.
If this post can stop even one person from going insane it will have been worth it.

SAP Easty Access GUI settings Rename

Hi,

Thanks,
Donald

Hi Donald,
I do not to change the SAP Standard area menu settings, but from SE43 transaction code, you can change and create the new area menu. i think it may be possible to change the GUI settings from this transaction code. look at the transaction code and read the documentation,

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

SAP GUI Issue

Hi Experts,
I have installed SAP GUI 7.2 on my system (WIN XP) successfully. I logged on and worked with some transctions but when i am pressing SPACE BAR for previously used objects in any transaction , the object name that i have used is not coming. Same problem is coming while trying to press SPACE bar on logon screen. Every time I have to remember the objects what i want to use. Please give me suggestions what could be the problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Sumesh

I noticed you said that you installed SAP GUI onto your machine. Is this a new machine, or a re-do of Windows and you had to install SAP GUI? Was there a previous version installed and you uninstalled it to install the newer version?
If you have enabled history, it should be building a new list. If you are looking for your old history, that depends on what happened prior to you installing SAP GUI. If its a new machine, chances are that history is gone. if you uninstalled a previous version (7.10) try looking for your SapWorkDir folder, depending on how you uninstall it or steps taken afterward, it may be gone. (When we uninstall it here, that information along with folders is removed.)
FYI, 7.20's history can be found here by default.

Hello Sudhir.
Thanks to Sven...
Please note thet this is the RTL Layout for arabic languages.
Please check your settings in the Menu "Customize Local layout" ->
ALT+F12
Pleasse have a look at the F1 help of the Saplogon ( or start the
file    "sapguiEN.chm", which is stored in the folder
%ProgramFiles%\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\SAPguihelp )
Ther you find the chapter
6.5.2 Encoding: ->
SAP Code-page
Setting -> Adjust font to SAP code-page at logon
->
Function
Adjust the font and character set to SAP code page sent from the
server. Default is ON.
and the chapter
6.5.4 Others: ->
RTL/LTR Layout:
Setting
+ Set layout according to the logon language
Function
+ Set RTL layout when the logon language is Arabic or Hebrew.
   Default is ON.
and the chapter
6.14 Further Options of the Customizing Local Layout Menu ->
Character Set
A submenu group lists all character sets that are currently supported.
You have to select one of them that suits your logon language for the
SAP system     > there you must check which character set is set
Please change it to Unicode Westeuropean
then the rtl layout will change to the LTR

Problem opening Crystal Report from SAP GUI through VPN

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an issue with opening the crystal report from SAP BW Role menu(SAP GUI). The issue is only with the BW Users who are connecting to the Client systems through VPN. All the settings are done perfectly in the Transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN and SICF for the CE_URL.
For those who are in the client network it works fine. Please see the URLs generated in both the cases,below.
From Client N/W
[http://sapbobj:8080/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp?sap_client=100&cmsname=sapbobj:6400&language=EN&sap_sysid=D40&bw_id=4HUFYJ3XBZ7QLP5HIDYPR7PR6&sap-client=100&actionName=SAP_CrystalReport_View&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FInfoViewApp%2Fcommon%2FappService.do&loc=&initialFolderId=null]

where "sapbobj" is the BOBJ system and "sapbwd" is the SAP BW Dev box.
For me it seems to be something related to the N/W. Please provide me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.

Any advice..

Configurations done at SAP gui level to print in duplex mode

Hi Gurus,
We had a requirement to convert a printer to duplex mode, we changed all the settings at SAP level( kept duplex mode in printing mode and changed device type to SWAN (as post and pre2 device types are not available) ). But still we are not able to get the desired duplex mode.
Is there are any further settings or something done in server?
Is there any settings done at SAP gui to get the print as duplex from a report?
Thanks in advance....

SAP GUI and Win 7 error when attaching a document

I searched Google multiple times for an answer but didn't find one, so I'd like to bring it up in this forum.
I start by saying that mine is a large corporation with centralized application, Windows and security configuration, so I have very little manuvering as far as changing settings.
The problem we run into is as follows:
some users who use a particular (Quality Assurance) module of SAP need to regularly attach documents (typically PDF format) in SAP. The typical size of an attachment is between 3-7 MB.
Those documents are store on a network file share remote to the site. The network latency between the site and the file share location is approx. 6ms (not huge by any means). Users are running Win 7 Enterprise SP1.
Randomly, the attachment download fails in SAP and they have to exit and log back in to SAP to resume. The attachment may fail2-3 times, and then succeed or fail permanently.
Copying the file to a local drive (C:) and then attaching it in SAP always works.
The users report that this was not an issue when they were using WinXP SP3 a few months back.
Again, the problem is random in that it cannot be recreated at will but happens often enough to be more than just an inconvenience.
the Windows event log logs the following message when the attach process fails and SAP freezes:
The program saplogon.exe version 7300.1.2.1080 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: a7c
Start Time: 01cf38c9a86d55ac
Termination Time: 16
Application Path: C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe
Report Id: 139b5ba9-a4bd-11e3-8b65-d8d3857a05c5
I'd appreciate any input that would help resolve this issue.
Steve

Besides updating the patch level, the other thing you can try to get more information is turn on or increase the level of tracing within the SAPGUI. You can do this on the workstation in SAP Logon by clicking the little button at the upper left of the window title bar, then in the drop-down choose Options. In the new window that opens go to the Traces folder and have a look through the three different kinds of traces you can turn on. Probably you should turn on SAP Logon Traces to the "Errors" level, and same for SAP GUI Traces (to Level 1: Errors), and under Session Traces pick the options that make sense to you (perhaps "Access Control", "Office Integration", and/or "Security"? You might need to experiment with different options to get the right combination that doesn't overload the trace file with noise; you may not need a Session Trace at all if the error trace on the other two options reveal what's wrong).
You can see under Session Traces what folder the trace files will go to, and open the folder from there. By default it will be C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\SAP\SAP GUI\Traces.

SAP GUI 7.0 and RRMX

I am using BI NW04s and using RRMX via the SAP GUI 7.0.
My problem is that BEx will not start.
SP13 is meant to fix the problem and there is a note (1018928) that details how to fix it for other SPs....however this does not seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Patrick

To solve this problem go to Analyzer 7.0 --> choose option --> global settings --> and mark the option: Launch SAP BW 3.x verion of Bex Analyzer from SAP Gui (RRMX).
And start the Analyzer 7.0 again.
Cheers,
Hassan

SAP GUI 7.1 not working

Hi
I installed SAP GUI 7.2 and I encountered some issues (another post on this forum). Because of that I decided do uninstall and install 7.1 again with patch 18
What happens is that now, when I install SAP GUI 7.1, and then patch 18 I enter saplogon.exe and it doesn't open!
I tried several times to uninstall and install again and none of the times i managed to open the saplogon
If i install the GUI 7.1 and open saplogon.exe before I install the patch it works ok, but I can't work properly, I keep getting SAP errors.
I also tried to install patch 17 (the version I had working before i installed 7.2) and it also doesn't work now
Is there a way to clean everything SAP related so I can do a fresh install? Could this be caused by remains from previous installations?
And if so, why does the unpatched version work (even if poorly)?
Thanks

Hello,
- deinstall the sapgui with following command line in START -> RUN
    nwsapsetup /uninstall /all
*you need administrative user rights
( in WTS environment you must also change to installlation mode )
- uninstall the VCREDIST installation in the CONTROL PANEL -> ADD / REMOVE Software -> deinstall the
Microsoft redistributable runtime DLLs VS2005 SP1(x86)
- if exists, delete the folder
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sap Shared
- delete all other folders where the sapgui was installed
   c:\program files\sap\Frontend
   C:\Program Files\SAP\Business Explorer
   C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\SAP Front En
   C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Business
      Explorer
- delete then all   "SAP"   entries in the windows registry in
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs
( ONLY the SAP entries !!!! )
Now you have a CLEAN workstation.
Please if you have problems in Installation of the sapgui 720, please look at the NWSAPSETUP.log   file
for a first analyse.
Best regards

this issue is solved.
Unluckily that not work in my case, anybody can help me?

SAP GUI 6.20 - 6.40

Hi
I have a question regarding tha SAP Gui versions. We are planning to upgrade the R/3 system to mySAP ERP 2004 starting next month. This R/3 version requires GUI 6.40. We would however continue using BW 3.1 for some time.
I tried to install the 6.40 GUI which works fine for our R/3 system. (both 4.6C and mySAP ERP). However now i can not open old templates in Web Application Designer due to som run time error. Furthermore users using GUI 6.20 are no longer able to change reports that i have created i Bex.
Does anybody no anything about the compability between the new and old GUI version. Or is there a document describing this somewhere?
Thanks

Hi Chris,
After launching WAD, from the menu tools --> settings --> directories tab --> get the path for web template files and remove the file SAPBWWebAppDes.wsp from that folder in your pc (it's a temp folder). This file gets generated every time you launch WAD. Hopefully it should prevent the WAD from crashing.

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.

Vamshi.

Keyboard shortcuts in SAP GUI Java on Mac OS X

Hi,
I'm running SAP GUI for Java 7.20 rev 2 on Mac OS X 10.6.3.
Everything is working fine, except for some keyboard shortcuts.
I'm used to the Ctrl-F1 and Ctrl-F2 shortcuts when working on ABAP code, but these shortcuts do not work. It seems like OS X is overriding them or something. The Ctrl-F3 or Shift-F1 and others are working fine though.
I've tried disabling all keyboard shortcuts in the OS X system settings, but that didn't solve the problem.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply mriddoch, please leave another reply if you manage to figure it out
In the meantime I've switched to working with Parallels running a copy of Windows 7 and the windows SAP GUI.
Parallels allows me to use Mac keyboard shortcuts (such as cmd-c cmd-v etc.) inside the virtual Windows system (mapped to their corresponding windows keyboard shortcuts).
You can also map your own shortcuts, so currently I've mapped cmd-f1,-f2 and-f3 to respectively ctrl-f1, -f2 and -f3 (for the ABAP workbench), which makes things feel more natural on my Mac when writing ABAP code.
Here's a screenshot of the mapping: [http://web.me.com/rvanmil/Screenshots/parallels_keyboard_shortcuts.png]
