X-window problem with SAPGUI

Hi,
I'm trying to configure the SAP GUI correctly. I have it installed at /opt/SAPClients on Fedora 4. I can login as root (/opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI6.40rev4/bin/guilogon) and it starts just fine-- but then under Add New Connection, only (none) is displayed in the System dropdown box. How do I get it to recognize the system? I started the other stuff fine using sapstart nw4host.
When I su to nw4adm or kevin (a local account), the GUI will not even start, and I get the following error:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
I think this is a conflict in X-windows-- does anyone know how to resolve this?
thanks,
Kevin

Solved. The problem is that you should give permission to other users (i.e. the
superuser) to use your open graphical X console. To do that, use the "xhost"
command. Once you log into the X environment, just open a text console and
type:
xhost +
This give permission to any user on any machine to use your graphic terminal.
Then, you can do "su" and run ethereal as root. When you log-out, the access
permission is unset.
Please, note that the previous command give permission to ANY user in ANY host
to send windows to your grahical console. If you prefer to restrict the
access only to users in the local host or to given users, please refer to the
"xhost" command manual.

Install of apps 11.5.8 on Windows - Problems with PreReqs

Hello all,
I've worked with Oracle database server for years,
and installed it many times. I want to learn Oracle apps,
and I'm attempting the install of 11.5.8 on Windows
from the CDs. But I'm having some problems with the
pre requisites.
Unlike LInux, if the install doesn't work, you can't
clean out all traces of the install. I've completely
reinstalled Windows to start fresh this last time.
Although, with the pre req warnings, I didn't attempt
the install.
Here is what I did.
Copy the CDs.

I check the PDF install doc:
Step 2: Install Latest Java Development Kit (JDK)This release of Oracle Applications requires Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.3 or
higher. Before you begin your installation, download and install the latest version of
JDK on your concurrent server, administration server, forms server, and web server.
Download JDK 1.3 from the download site for the operating system where you will
deploy the Oracle HTTP server. See OracleMetaLink document 130091.1 (Upgrading
to JDK 1.3 with Oracle Applications 11i) for a list of the sites.
1. Follow the installation instructions provided with the download.
2. Make a note of the location where you install JDK. The Rapid Install wizard
asks for this location on the Derived Settings screen. (See Step 8 on page 2-14 or
Step 9 on page 3-16.)

I've been looking at other threads.
Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Installation Steps on Windows XP
1)
For this older 11.5.8 version, do I need to install the JDK, or will
this be done for me? If I do need to install the JDK, can I use the
latest version??
2)
Do I really need to install MS Visual C++ ?????
If so, could I use the latest .NET express instead??
3)
What is the MKS? The one thing the docs say is:
MKS Directory (Windows) MKS tools must be added in the PATH so that executables can be used to
relink application executables and .DLLs.Do I just need to create an "MKS" directory, and add it to the path?
Or, do I need to install some other software??
I've tried installing this a few times over the past few years, and
while I've had different levels of success, I've always had some kind
of issue after the install was done.
I really want to learn form and reports, so I hope that you guys
can help me out on this so I finally get a clean install.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks.

Pop-up-Window problem with Firefox 2.0

Hello,
We are using NetWeaver 2004's SP9 and Abap-Webdynpro 2004s SP 9.
With Browser Firefox 2.0 we have the following problem:
If occurs an popup window and the user clicks on the pop-up-window-bar and moves the mouse, the pop-up is no more reachable for the user. The user must click in the middle of the browser-window to get back the pop-up-window.
With IE-Browser there is no problem.
I Know looking in the pam the will be no support for wd for abap with Firefox-Browser.
Is in spite of that a solution for this problem?
Best regards
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
I can't tell what the SP was where the problem was fixed. Unfortunately, the fix is within JavaScript and not within ABAP coding. You could fix it the following way though:
If you happen to have a test system with SP10 installed (according to service marketplace SP11 seems to be scheduled for mid-March), replace your version of /sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/popup_*.js with the ones of the next SP inside of the mime repository (please make backups beforehand g). Probably, this will fix the problem as the files as backwards compatible.
Best regards,
Thomas

So this only appears in advisory/confirmation windows and nowhere else, i.e. you never see it across documents or images or in other situations ?
First suggestion is to try re-installing the latest 'combo' 10.6.6 updater and see if that changes anything.

Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows: Problems with iCloud

I thought I'd share on this topic, which caused me a lot of grief before it was finally resolved. I'm running MS Office 2007 on my PC, under Vista.
Office kept crashing on going to File:Open or Save As - after downloading iCloud Control Panel. I tried uninstalling iCloud and iTunes, without benefit. I also checked for malware, ran Office Repair, re-installed Office etc etc. Finally I re-installed iTunes and iCloud Control Panel, and ran iCloud Control Panel, which I hadn't done the first time. I allowed it to integrate with just about everything, and after that Office was fine! There is now an iCloud icon at the bottom right of the screen, and a Photostream icon in the Office File Open/Save window. Outlook also has an iCloud section in the Toolbar. I had to run iCloud Control Panel for each logon user on my computer.
It appears that simply installing iCloud caused it to do something to Office, but this was incomplete and required that the program needed to be run in order to complete the process. May I suggest that Apple programmers take note?
Nick

Since posting the above, I found that the problem recurred. In desperation I purchased MS Office 2010, assuming it would cope with iCloud. Initially it was fine, but then the same thing happened! I signed out of iCloud, then signed back in and de-selected Outlook, Photostream and Bookmarks. This seems to have fixed the problem for now, but there does seem to be a problem with iCloud and Office.

Problems with SAPGUI 7.20 for Windows

In our organization we have newly installed SAP GUI 7.20 for Windows. But the users are getting error message, when they run some of the transactions.
For example if they run the transaction FD10N it give a error message:
Runtime Errors MESSAGE_TYPE_X
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLOLEA" - in "AC_SYSTEM_FLUSH".
The main program was "RCOPCA02 ".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 29
of the (Include) program "LOLEAU02".
Any clue about why this is happning and how this can be fixed?
Thanks in advanced!

Have you checked SAP Notes for supported Windows version? Which version of Windows are you running? If you completely remove all of the SAP GUI pieces and re-install SAP GUI 7.20, does the problem still occur? Let's hope for installation error...I don't see any SAP Note specifically for these LOLEA failures with 7.20 version...

Problem with SAPGUI Recording

Hi all,
I am facing problems while playing back the recording done through SAPGUI(record).
Let's say for creating a sales order through VA01. I did the recording. The recording is smooth without any errors. In the Structure editor also, it shows the same windows and values .
But while playing back (Parameterized or not)after entering the values in the first screen of VA01, it opens 2 new windows with the same screen( First screen of Va01).
The first opened session terminates along with the 2 others after some time giving an error.
From the log I could not find out the problem. If anyone has any idea regarding this problem, please reply back.
Thanks & regards,
Sasmita

Hello Sasmita, hello SAP Developer,
just to clarify: the ResetGUI flag doesn't doesn't determine whether a new GUI session should be opened or not. It only determines whether the transaction in this SAPGUI command will be started newly (if ResetGui='X') or not (if ResetGui=' ').
In the meantime I noticed that I forgot one important issue in my last answer: opening a new session can also be caused by a change in the logical system name of the target system. So altogether we have three parameter that might lead to opening a new session: the ConnectionID, the SessionID and the logical system name. If one of these parameters in the current SAPGUI command is different from the parameters in the earlier SAPGUI commands, a new GUI session will be opened.
One example:
- First SAPGUI command: ConnectionID '/app/con[0]', Session ID 'ses[0]', target system 'MY_TARGET_SYS'
- Next SAPGUI command:
a) ConnectionID '/app/con[0]', Session ID 'ses[1]', target system 'MY_TARGET_SYS' -> a new GUI session will be opened, because the SessionID is different.
b) ConnectionID '/app/con[0]', Session ID 'ses[0]', target system 'MY_TARGET_SYS2' -> a new GUI session will be opened, because the logical name of the target system is different.
c) ConnectionID '/app/con[0]', Session ID 'ses[0]', target system 'MY_TARGET_SYS' -> no new GUI session will be opened, because everything stayed the same.
One comment on the logical target system name: only the name has to be different. Even if two logical system names point to the same target system, this will still open a new GUI session.
So, if you want to ensure that the SAPGUI commands are replayed in the same GUI session, you have to ensure that these three parameters are the same in all SAPGUI commands of the execution.
One last remark: in eCATT as of 6.40 there is always the start option "Execute all SAPGUI commands in a single session per destination". This start option will overwrite the behaviour caused by different combinations of ConnectionId and SessionID. In this case only the logical system name is relevant for opening a new GUI session or not.
Best regards,
Markus

Need to upgrade Vista to Windows - problem with CC?

Hi,
I didnt realise the Edge animate feature would not work with Windows Vista, so what i decided to do is upgrade my operating system. However i recently reset my laptop to factory settings so i am unsure if it would appear that i have downloaded the apps on 2 computers, when in fact its the same laptop. Now that if i upgrade my operating system will that cause problems because my apps have been installed on this PC twice already?
Also as i am upgrading... for the features of Creative Cloud ..alll of them.. is Windows 8 or 7 preferred by Adobe and are issues supported as apparently on the forums there was a post from an 'Elaine' advising Adobe didnt support Vista related probelms. This was kind of unfair as i purchased Creative Cloud for Windows Vista, this kind of gives the impression the programmes work on Vista to be fair, i could have upgraded beforehand if i'd been aware, but either way i need to get it right this time as my assignments are going overdue and i could be failed.
I really appreciate any and all help you could give me as im in a lot of trouble.
Thanks in advance,
Lara.

The better graphics option ie 780M for that Imac with the I7. I would also suggest a TB drive instead of Firewire which is higher latency and lower bandwidth for drives.

ITUNES Windows problems with more than 2 speakers

I can play any music in Winamp or WMP and hear it in my quadraphonic system speakers. However, when I play them through Itunes, I can hear the music only in the front speakers.
I have a Soundblaster Live sound card with the most updated drivers, and have already checked the sounds and audio devices properties in Windows Control Panel.
Does anyone knows how to fix it in Itunes 7.1.1.5?

Windows problems with 7.0.1?

It took me 3 hours of trial and error...but I uninstalled 7.0.1 which was completely unstable...(clumsy with scratchy and skipping music)...and re-installed my trusty loyal 6.0.5.
First I copied all my music into a folder outside iTunes. (And only then removed all music INSIDE iTunes.)
Then I uninstalled 7.0.1. (Keeping QuickTime 7.)
Then I installed iTunes 6.0.5 (Which opened perfectly without tunes.)
I then copied all my 6,500 music files into 6.0.5 and it works perfectly.

Thats a proof that I was right, then Im gonna do that in school tomorrow morning, right now I go to bed because its 02:46am, nighty and thx for help

Dual Boot Linux and Windows problem with HDDRecovery

Hello
I`m using dual OS Windows Vista and Linux open SUSE distribution on Toshiba Satellite A350-10z, everything is working great except Windows Recovery. I have Linux (boot:dev/sda6) and Windows Vista (boot:dev/sda2). Windows has 2 partitions, Disk C and D, on Disc D i have HDDRecovery folder. After F8 i using the repair option and waiting, then the massage is displayed "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer".
Before i installed Linux the Recovery worked fine. Is there a chance of using the HDDRecovery from Windows Disk D or i have to boot from Recovery DVD?

In my opinion Linux has muddled up the partitions or MBR and possibly this is the reason why the HDD recover does not work seems the Recover DVD is your option ion order to set the notebook back to factory settings.
By the way: I didnt install the Linux on my notebook but I use Linux using the Knoppix Live CD

Problems with IS-H*Med and "Windows Vista"

Hi all:
I'm having problems with automatic installation of IS-H*Med using a computer with Windows Vista. It doesn't start. I must to install it manually, and when the user request the OCX, it hangs up.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Alejandro Gómez.
P.D.: Excuse my bad English.

Hola Alejandro,
could you please elaborate on your problem a little bit in detail?
I suppose, you don't mean the SAP system itself, since as far as I know, it (the application server side) is not supporting Windows Vista at all.
According to this <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/66971">SAP note 66971</a> only SAPGUI 7.10 supports Windows Vista. Do you use this version of SAPGUI?
What does not start? SAPGUI? The planning grid?(Which is the only i.s.h.med specific OCX as far as I know).
Did you open a customer support message for this?
kind regards,
anton wenzelhuemer

Problem with xcompmgr and i3 window manager

Hey guys,
Had a hard time trying to search for this problem. and nothing came up for the exact problem I was having. Anyways this is my problem. with xcompmgr is that it doesn't seem to be refreshing or something. it leaves trails of previous windows for some reason. not sure why. Anyone have this problem or someone know how to fix it??!?
Here is a link to show you what i mean.
http://oi45.tinypic.com/2nlaghy.jpg
Thanks in advance for your kind and prompt attention.
Sincerely,
Sicariuxs

Wow psychadelic!
I found xcompmgr to be rather buggy when I used to use it. Try xcompmgr-dana (dcompmgr I think) or Compton. I used to use Compton and it worked pretty well.
I stopped using real transparency in favor of pseudo-transparency because I sometimes use the tabbed mode on multiple terminals... tell me how awesome it is to read three terminals stacked on each other

Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop. I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now. It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
This is what daily scenario is:
When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get internet access. After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks. The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also, I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches.

FIOS is short for fiber optics. fiber optics is different technology than DSL.
With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software. AND they offer you a fix.
