Hi Mani ,
Go to transaction SE93 . This is the transaction for maintaining various T-codes used in SAP. Fill any T-code and press enter. A window will appear carrying the details of that transaction . On that window there are 3 checkboxes at the bottom under the title " GUI SUPPORT " .Select all the checkboxes and GUI support would be enabled for java and windows.
Kind regards,
Preetinder singh.

NW2004s ABAP Trial Version - using 2 SAP-GUI'S

hi there,
i just download the big files for nw2004s abap trial version. it includes sap gui 6.40, and i have the following problem:
we have sap r/3 4.6c now and on every client (also on mine) we have sap-gui 620 installed.
for 4.6c i still have to use sapgui 620 as i want to be on the same level then all the other users.
can i use BOTH sap-guis on ONE pc ?
regards, Martin

I do understand, and my answer comes from my culture at my company. Sorry for that. All of our users are on sapgui 6.20(not sure about patch level), I always have the latest SAPgui version/patch level, at this point 6.40 sp 22. I have not seen a gui problem in some time with the users on 6.20, but when I did, you could usually tell that it is a gui problem by the behavior and/or ABAP short dump.
I understand your feeling about being on the same level of your users, so I won't suggest that you install the 6.40 version. So, that said, you will not be able to use the NW2004s system on your machine with your SAPgui 6.20 version. And I believe that you can not have more than one instance of sapgui. When you install sapgui 6.40 it will uninstall all previous version of the gui.

Using the SAP GUI from the NW2004s SneakPreview Download

Hello,
does anyone else have major problems with the SAPGUI from the NW2004 SneakPreview download page?
Im getting a runtime error when logging on:

The current application triggered a termination with a short dump.
What happened?
The current application program detected a situation which really
     should not occur. Therefore, a termination with a short dump was

Hello Rich,
the sap gui from the NW2004s SneakPreview page is on patchlevel 8. The problem is when i use the latest sap gui from the service marketplace (full install!) i cant event call the gui. Getting a error when doubleclicking on the SAP Gui icon.
'The procedure entry point 'RfcResetTraceDir' could not be located in the dynamic link library 'LIBRFC32.dll' .'
So actually since i installed the NW2004s on my local notebook the only sap gui "working" (at least i can call it) is the one from the NW2004s Sneakpreview page but im getting this error mentioned here on all systems! not only on the NW2004s system

PLease help in this regard.
Gaurav Makin

Hello,
shorthand the error message indeed comes from the unquoted blanks in the file-url.
However the whole usage scenario seems to be different than how it is intended to be.
I would expect the PlatinGUI*.jar installer extracted on the web server, not locally on your desktop and the codebase parameter in the html page should point to the folder on the web server containing all the jars.
You might want to have a look at chapter "8. Web Server Configuration" of the manual part of SAP GUI for Java.
Best regards
Rolf-Martin

Which role that Take a iview use SAP GUI for HTML need ?

hi all
    i made a transaction iview use the sap gui for html,and this ivew add a role,the role add a user.and the user had only this role.when i use the user logon the portal,it will give me a error message:
portal runtime error....
   whether it need another necessary role?
   and when i take the user to mapping user.i can't found any system that i had configration.
    but i can do all use admin user .
   what i can do?

Use System admin -> System Config and find your system in the PCD (under portal content). Right click and open -> permissions. Find a user or group or role and give it the end user permission. I'd suggest the group Everyone.
Cheers

SAP GUI Scripting Wizzard Windows7 does not work

Dear Experts,
I am quite a novice when it comes to SAP GUI scripting (let alone any other development), therefore my question might be rather stupid. After my PC was migrated from XP to Windows 7 it is no longer possible to use the SAP GUI scripting wizzard. When you select it from the menue, simply nothing happens.
Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to have this useful tool back on my PC?
We are running SAP GUi 7.1
Thanks for your help
Theo

Here is SAP GUI wizard replacement tool...its in auto IT - enjoy
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/149540-sapwizardudf/
I had the tech guys here install , the latest GUI patch level 15,
and the script development tools not working issue has been fixed
They (SAP?) removed the 'script development tools' menu option!?
I have not installed the MS hotfix, but
My question is, it true the 'Script development tools' is gone?
Other methods
a) This (free) non SAP solution seems to work however...any other ideas?
Scripting Tracker Lite
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32728
b) The Activate GuiXT tool in SAP GUI also does give you some clues in the element window
and could be an alternative way , to get control names.
eg a radio button is R[P_CONTROL_ID] when it should be radP_CONTROL_ID
c) The SAP script recording and playback , to a vbs script will give you the control names also, if you edit the script.
You must of course have GUI scripting on in rz11
I can't read this note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1633639 - need a password!

Accessing local clipboard with SAP GUI for HTML - alternatives?!?

I need some creative suggestions (PLEASE!!!) to a problem that weu2019re having replicating functionality that works in SAPGUI but which we canu2019t get working in SAP GUI for HTML.
In SAPGUI we are able to open an external browser and pass a URL for the page we want to open. Once the page is open the user enters some data and receives a response which we then copy to the local workstation clipboard. From within ABAP we then read the clipboard contents and then copy them in to a field in the SAP screen. It works BRILLIANTLY!
However, Iu2019m not able to get the same functionality to work in SAP GUI for HTML with method CLIPBOARD_IMPORT of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. Apparently this class and the methods can not be used in SAP GUI for HTML u2013 however OSS note 314568 seems to suggest otherwise with this statement:
Clipboard access
In SAP GUI for HTML it is not possible to:
- read or write the clipboard using ABAP Objects class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
This limitation no longer exists with ITS 6.20 Patch 23, SAP Netweaver 2004 SP 19 and SAP Netweaver 2004s SP 10.
Has anyone been able to use the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to read from the Clipboard since this statement was made in this OSS note?
And my bigger question u2013 does anyone have a creative idea for a solution that will work?

Thank you experts,
Your answers have been really helpfull, we have to try another method, by Studio Program or ABAP code, unfortunely we have to implement this in so many computers, so is impossible to configure one by one.
Thanks to both, and have a nice 2009!

Questionnaire for users of SAP GUI (closed)

When using SAP GUI *) for a while, users tend to open new session windows and maybe new connections to other SAP system instances as well. With the increasing number of windows, it can be difficult to find and switch to the session you want to proceed working with.
SAP is currently looking into ways to improve the session handling in the SAP GUI. Options including a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface">multiple document interface (MDI)</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabbed_document_interface">tabbed document interface (TDI)</a> approach are being discussed. The latter has been adopted by many web browsers for similar reasons.
In order to ease the process of finding an appropriate interaction model, it would be helpful to have a good understanding of how people are working with the SAP GUI today.
For this purpose we would like to ask you to provide feedback on the questions below. You can either directly reply in this thread or send a mail to woersi (at) sap (dot) com with the subject starting with "Questionnaire".
Note: The new approach will be an additional option and will not replace the current implementation.
1. What is your role using the SAP GUI?
a) admin/technical/developer
b) business user
c) consultant
d) other
2. Do you think the multiple document interface or tabbed document interface could make handling of multiple windows in SAP GUI more convenient?
a) yes
b) no (better to leave it up to the window management of the platform SAP GUI is running on like entries in the Windows taskbar)
3. In how many different SAP systems are you (or the users in your company) typically working in parallel?
a) one
b) two
c) more
4. How many sessions in total do you (or the users in your company) have open in parallel?
a) one or two
b) three to six
c) more
5. What do you think is the preferred window arrangement for end users?
a) each SAP session in a separate window
b) all SAP sessions (of all connections) in one single window
6. How would you like to use the SAP Easy Access menu?
a) show it only at the beginning like it is today
b) display it on request (like after clicking on some area) when you want to launch a new transaction
c) you are not really using it
7. Which SAP GUI(s) you are using in your company?
a) SAP GUI for Windows
b) SAP GUI for Java
c) SAP GUI for Html
8. Please add any comments you may have regarding the questions above.
Please send your feedback by July 27th at the latest.
Looking forward to your input.
Rolf-Martin Woersinger
SAP GUI for Java project lead
*) Please consider the term SAP GUI representing both SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java

1. a)
2. a) yes
3. one or two (but almost always, with multiple windows (e.g. 6) in
each system.
4. Usually, three to six - but ten isn't unusual.
5. a) each SAP session in a separate window (because it makes
comparisons between sessions easier - also it helps with cutting and
pasting between sessions).
6. b) display it on request (like after clicking on some area) when
you want to launch a new transaction
7. a) SAP GUI for Windows and b) SAP GUI for Java
8. On the Mac implementation of the JavaGui, the Windows menu
currently identifies sessions by a System name and a session number
(for example, "Dev(3)"). I'd really like more information to identify
the session, perhaps adding the transaction code (for example,
"Dev(3)SE38").

Writing files in your local hard disk with SAP GUI for HTML

Hello SAP Experts
We have a problem with the SAP GUI for HTML, we create a program in ABAP that writes a file into your local machine, and it works just fine when we test it directly in the SAP GUI for Windows, but if we use the SAP GUI for HTML implementend in a SAP Portal 7.0 the same program doesn't run, it just freeze in the moment that the program must create the file, so my question is if it's possible to use that functionality in the GUI HTML, or do you have another suggestion???
Thanks a lot,
Ricardo Pineda

Requirement: Open Transaction code in SAP GUI from WD ABAP application

Hello All,
I have a WD ABAP application which is accessed from SAP GUI and Portal. In SAP GUI, there is report which calls the application URL.
In the WD application, I need to call a transaction code. At this juncture, I made use of the ITS url. But,, the SSO does not work in SAP GUI.It works only in portal.
As a solution,we identified the entry point i.e. SAP GUI or portal. Then, based on entry from SAP GUI, we tried to call the transaction code using call transaction statement. But, that replaced the wd application. We instead wanted it as a popup or atleast another session.
Now, how do we open a transaction from WD screen in another session?
Also, can we setany configurations in the system to make sure the SSO works for all the transactions i.e. ITS used in SAP GUI.?
Thank you.
Regards,
Sharath

Hi,
This question gets asked many times.
Depending on the circumstances, this can be achieved with varying degree of success
So here is some code that might help you.
This can (does) load a Windows GUI.
Some things to consider.
1. Browser settings can get in the way a bit, asking the user if they want to open a ".sap" file
2. The user may have a SAP session open so consider adding a "/o" to the system code.
3. The Custom variable might want to contain a [Options] section for "Re-use"
4. The SAPLogon_ID may be required if using SSO (SNC)
I have modified the code below, but you will get the idea.
JS
* Create the shortcut contents
call function 'SWN_CREATE_SHORTCUT'
    exporting
      i_system_command        = lv_com
      i_saplogon_id           = lv_logon_id

      i_client                = sy-mandt
      i_user                  = sy-uname
      i_custom                = lv_custom

SAP GUI 7.20 Windows 7 Crash in some Tcode

Hi,
Just suddenly last week my sap gui 7.20 patch level 4 just starting to crash when i run Tcode VA05 with todayu2019s date. no error message is displayed the GUI is just gone.
I get this error i SM21
Connection to user 22243 (XXXXX ), terminal 63 (XXXXXX ) lost. but as i know this is not specific to my error just that the connection is lost without a proper logout.
What i have tried so far uninstall SAP GUI delete the remaining folders, reboot install again with antivirus deactivated. but still the same error.
Anyone with the same problem or know how to fix this?
Regards
Anders

Hi Anders,
I have a similar Problem with my GUI and
I also use the SAP GUI 7.20 with patch level 4 on a windows 7 64-bit system.
As soon as i try to start transaction SE80 the GUI is closed without any warnings.
I didn't change anything at the gui config or registry. Last week everything worked fine,
and after booting my system today, i face this problem. I can't remember active if any major windows updates have been made.
I also have installed the gui in my windows xp mode system and it works fine, also with the same patch level. Even installing the older sap gui 7.10 doesn't fix the problem. So it seams to be a windows 7 problem.
I also attached my log from sm21. Would be thankful for every hint.

SAP GUI 7.20 installation in Citrix environment

Dear colleagues,
does anybody, if there are some hints using the SAP GUI 7.20 in Citrix?
We've different installations of the SAP GUI; one installation szenario is local on the client workstations and one is on a citrix environment.
On the local installation, the SAP GUI 7.20 works fine so far, but in Citrix the menu looks strange.
Is it possible, that we need a different installation server because on the client we've Vista; on Citrix it's 2003 Server?
Thank your for any advice + best regards,
Clemens

Hi,
try to disable the signature theme (higher ressources are needed):
To do so, you define the following registry value (REG_DWORD):
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\General\Appearance\ShowShadowBorder (on 32-bit operating systems)
    or
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\SAP\General\Appearance\ShowShadowBorder (on 64-bit operating systems)
and assign the value "0".
As a result, a solid frame is drawn around the SAP GUI window and the resources are preserved.
Please see note 138869 for further information.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jann

Input help selection problem in SAP GUI screen

Hi All,
We are using a SAP GUI based transaction for one ESS service. In this service, we have a input field. This field is defined as dictionary field And its picking F4 values from dictionary.
Now we have a problem here.
We have to set this field as mandatory(set in fields property using screen painter). Everything was fine, just before we did testing
When user host this service, for above mentioned field user get to see one "?" mark. When user does not select any of the entry provided by F4. user gets a message "please fill mandatory field" and input field contains first entry from F4 help.
Now this is very confusing, so we want to avoid selection of this entry.
if any of you have faced similar problem ??
any suggestions here.

Yes Sudir ,
We also stopped a bit at this point.
Wht we did is impemented all the mandatory checks at module pool itself and throwed status msg by using Message class.
Now if a user leaves any mandatory field , the status msg will point the filed he left blank ..
But Cursor won't point to that field .
Regards ,
J

SAP GUI 720 - difference between Classic, Enjoy and Signature

Hi experts,
We intend to use the SAP GUI 720 for Finance uers entering journals and using workflow. I have checked out the PC requirements for the GUI and they vary depending on whether you opt for Classic, Enjoy or Signature design.
Can anyone explain what the difference is between these options?
many thanks
mike

Hi Adrian,
the difference is the look and a few option (like setting a different color in the different systems (like different colors for E, Q and P), a focus frame, and so on.
I googled for some pictures:
Signature Theme: http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/vd_images/revolutions/GUI_Signature_Theme.png
Enjoy Theme: http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/vd_images/revolutions/Win_Enjoy_Tradeshow_Themes_large.png
Classic Theme: http://support.citrix.com/article/html/images/CTX127399-2.gif
I prefer using the Signature Theme because it is clear and has the focus frame.
Hope this helped.
Regards,
Jann
