I had the same problem applying hotfix 1 and 2 of patch 5. Perhaps they require an installation compilation 2. My solution was to use the Installation server - patch it with the patch, and then create a single file installer, which acts both for installation and update of the SAP GUI.
It sounds simpler than my solution. Still cannot apply patch 6, same error message as before, "This SAP Front End patch requires a higher base version of the installed products. Update to a higher version of the product before applying this patch. Perhaps you can try to download the last Installation media comp. I would like to know if the GUI 7. The Text Editor not working correctly, this is the error:. I get on every transaction this error:.
I think this particular Gui version has a problem with Personas' usage logging. Thanks Carlos Daniel Alanis , it is updated now! We are faster than the notification service. We're on MRS and after installing the newest PL resources and assignments are not visible anymore. To make double-sure I connected from two different VMs today.
One is still on PL8 where it still worked. The other is still on PL4 and worked as well. I am sorry for the delay — I did not update this for quite a while… SCN migration helped for that. Also the blog post design changed, and it is ugly now. When I try to edit it in the editor — it looks fine. Seems I cannot fix it for now. It seems the old links do NOT work any more.
So I put new ones through the launchpad. No direct links any more. I'm using, consulting and developing SAP stuff for 20 years know and since then I'm still waiting for a import, export or any kind of a manual merge tool.. I am not sure that I fully understand your problem, but with the installation server NwSapSetupAdmin. Also the new versions have option to take the. I must admit - GUI 7.
In the notes you mentioned there's only described, that PL02 will fix that issues. Yes, it was checked, but in you can find pseudo-link to a patch 2. I had to cancel the distributions of GUI update. But this is typical for OSS notes. Please, correct them in two top tables. The last patch for SAP Gui 7. Thanks for correction. It could be useful. Yes, very interesting blog, finally I will get bit libraries for my Excel Macros, so it can work in 64bit Excel? The user is on Windows This is what I would normally do, but instead of a Release Notes document, there's just a long list of corrections.
Is this considered the "Release Notes"? Do newer versions of sap gui contain the hotfixes from previous patches? I assume they would, but would like to make sure. Example: installing gui 7. Ok, I hate going off assumptions mainly bc we want the fix in PL 1 hotfix 1, but our software team doesnt want to push out the hotfix and then PL 2 if they dont have to. Over there, it litterally mentions what issues are included in the version you are downloading.
EXE, as all modifications are included in PL VirusBulletin recently described it as Nothing short of a miracle. More Google Chrome It is characterized by its speed and many innovative features.

Frank Krause, have you heard of anything similar being reported yet? We have been able to reproduce the issue to a certain degree with help from one customer participating in the program and found that the issue also affects other programs below also Word and Excel are mentioned. Then we found a relation to the Windows explorer issue occurs when drives are mapped.
Therefore, we reported this to Microsoft and Microsoft is presently analyzing it. Hello Frank Krause, ,. I also noticed something strange. When you try to create a new job on SM36, after you define the program, variant and go to the option to release it immediately , sometimes if goes back to the screen where we choose the program and the variant again but with the fields empty.
More weird is that sometimes it actually launches the job and sometimes doesn't. But again this is something that support could have a look at. I have mapped drives per corporate policy so the workaround does not work for me and had to go back to the 7. I wanted to give it a try but seems there are some issues to be solved, ALV grid is very slow and hangs while scrolling and buttons are flashing while doing in SAP Signature theme and somehow my ABAP editor font settings are overwritten.
ALV performance was degraded by updates in version v7. Also reading was changed to ad-hoc read additional data when paging. Message that not all data will be copied is there all the time. So performance was reduced due to additional features. Maybe the request was to reduce server load. It would be great, if we could use some setting, to don't use features we don't need and rather have better performance turn off field history, ad-hoc read, I guess.
To be able to get what we prefer. I assume there will be such a package, but since this component is not in my area of responsibility I cannot confirm this.
However, I have forwarded your question to the responsible colleagues. The component is not yet available, and the old 7. Contrary to what they say, I still don't find any releases, but only broken links and empty data. If F8 is not working this likely means that some 3rd party tool is stealing the key I have seen this quite some times before for other keys. But like for all functional issues: Please report an incident if you can reproduce the issue and there is no external tool which steals keyboard shortcuts from SAP GUI.
You can also check other applications like for example Outlook in which F8 is doing a selection. When I open SE10 to check the Transport request, there is a issue that the Plus Icon missed and it can't be clicked to expand the subtree to display the tasks. We also experienced this but only for one user when upgrading to 7.
So maybe the following will help here as well: Change to one of the modern themes. If you want you can then switch back to Signature, the icons should still be there. Typically this happens if during the font installation which is under Windows more magic than anything else something goes wrong. In most cases a reboot solves these issues and i all cases I have seen the installation asked for a reboot after it was done I rebooted my workstation several times and switched from different themes back to newer themes.
MM03 - display material. If the issue affects only a single client, you can delete those fonts from the Windows fonts folder and manually install them by double-clicking. Edit: To reproduce, this popup appears when entering a nonexisting package name in the input field in SE80 repo browser. On a different NW system I recreated the same issue, applied note which also brought down note and this solved the issue! I raised it with my maintenance partner to review so they can decide where the solution is and pass to SAP to request a downport of this note to NW basis releases.
In High Contrast themes this is something else too, because the applications already reacted on this before. Especially important is also the correction for the Dynamic Documents. The Quartz Dark theme is Astounding , BTW, but as others have expressed it has some glitches that need to be addressed in the next patches. It is Ok to report these problems here or is there any other, proper, way to inform the problems I've found?
Regarding your question: This blog is actually not meant for reporting issues. I can try what I can to answer questions and react on feedback, but analyzing issues is often not possible via this channel.
I cannot even reproduce the issue. I updated from latest version v7. But from experience, to suggest update, we'll wait for at least Patch Level 1. Or better check it more thorough with group of advanced users with different scopes. Still, I forced myself after looking at the screenshots to check this new theme out. But I have to say I was disappointed once again. Theme itself is not bad, still I would expect it to be more compact a lot of free unused space.
But main problem are still icons. IMHO they're strangely designed. It looks kind of blurry, strange, not tightened well. So I've rolled back to Corbu after 10 minutes trial. It's just really hard to distinguish anything. And it "hurts" my eyes. For me personally last working theme for whole day use is still Corbu. It's not perfect, but it's much easier to distinguish things and use it for longer time period.
Also I know a lot of tech users that would "feel" the same. But I guess it will take a while to deal with all the glitches.
But finally cut off IE would be great. But glad to know there's this new option. But as it is not supported in Corbu , not everybody. I guess it would be nice to mention supported themes. It would be: Belize and Quartz. A lot of user settings are mentioned in notes, and accessible only in registry settings.
This is really not the best and easiest way to go for standard users. So I don't understand this approach. For standard user this is really complicated. To make it:. Maybe think about having some of them as Group Policy , to allow administrators to change them?
It is similar to problem, when in some patch of v7. This happened only once when navigation through code. I will monitor it, and try to determine exact conditions, if it happens again. Vertical space: This does not have much to do with the theme. The fact that the applications do not use the full available space is because they have not been designed for this. With this feature turned on, the applications use as much of the vertical space available as possible, because SAP Kernel automatically widens subscreens as far as possible.
Spacing as a whole: It is a conscious design decision to use the font size and line height that is used in Belize and Quartz they are the same by the way in both themes. Yes, compared to older themes, this wastes space, but it leads to a visual effect that is desired. Here, we tried to stay compatible to the old times while transporting the visual effect of how the themes are designed.
This is not easy, but I personally think this works pretty well. I know how these have been designed and implemented and there is nothing "strange" about this. As opposed to former themes these icons are coming from an icon font and not bitmaps. If you use for example Corbu theme and display this with a big resolution, you will see that the Corbu icons look ugly, because they do not scale while the Belize and Quartz icons stll look the same as on lower resolutions.
If you have issues with concrete icons there is always something to improve about them , please feel free to report this to us. Whenever we see something unusual or get feedback on the icons we are incorporating this in the next version if possible , but we need concrete feedback.
Quote from this blog: "The feature can be activated for Belize and Quartz themes if a sufficiently new Windows version is used via this setting". Quote from the documentation: "This option is available as of the Belize theme.
All settings that we consider relevant for individual users and that we believe are frequently used are shown in the SAP GUI options dialog. Let's take the new features. They cannot: - Set the browser control fallback file because this is for the admin who typically rolls out the settings via the installation package - Activate the changed focus handling in ALV - Activate the hierarchical colors in tree control. It makes sense that we filter out those options which are used rarely, because otherwise the dialog would probably show twice as many options.
However: If users want one or both options mentioned above in options dialog, we can add them in a future version. Yes, that is absolutely possible. There were many issues with this and a lot had to be changed.
I personally remember that there were also issues with the size of the code completion. I will forward your feedback to the responsible team.
I haven't seen this before and I could also not reproduce this. If you find a way to reproduce this, please tell us. To fix this, I mark the coding lines which will "refresh" the duplicated lines to the correct code. You can increase font size so that code hint window size will also be increased proportionally.
If you need any further clarification you can create an incident to bc-fes-ctl component so that we can check and get back to you accordingly. For font size 10 in abap editor is displayed size of "Code completion" readable, but the font size 10 is too big for the work. The proportion between the used font and font of code completion is not good defined. We have tried to increase the Font size of Code Hint text. With this, code hint text size is scaled down as per the Font size chosen. But text is is not clearly visible and it is inconvenient for the users so we have increased the font size so that it is visible even if users set font size to smaller values.
We hope this is fine with you. The same problem is with the "Code template", the font is not clearly visible and he has to be increased too. Code hint is correct displayed.
Code template is not correct scaled, is scaled down. Description of code teplate is scaled correct. The scalling doesn't work correct for "Enhanced search", e.
In "Enhanced search" are correct displayed alle user, that start with this letter. Submatch with letters "MR" returns only 1 user and the "Enhanced search" display horizontal scroolbar over the displayed result. The user name isn't visibile. With default font size of Theme "Belize" or "Quartz" works "Enhanced search" correctly. When writing comments in ABAP code some very strange things happen sometimes. I think if you have comments on multiple lines like. Whatever it is trying to do it does not work, you end up with the next letter you type repeating twenty times, or twenty quotation marks in a row suddenly appearing.
I like testing theses things despite knowing it will be full of bugs new releases of SAP GUI always are but i would not recommend any programmers installing this until the bugs are all fixed. In a blog like this loads of people reported all those bugs in the comments and at the start it was all very light hearted.
That is because all the people reporting the bugs expected some sort of "hot fix" to be applied every so often, at least for the critical issues. That is, after all, what we do at our own companies when a fatal flaw is discovered in our software.
Then, when it became apparent that all the problems would be fixed, but not until the first scheduled update - in three months time - people started getting really angry and offensive, at which point the blog was locked against further comments. The question is - can SAP learn from history? This time there are loads of bugs as well, not anywhere near as bad as before, but nonetheless quite serious ones like the one that logs me out at random every so often. This time - is there going to be a "hot fix" of some sort released in a week or so to address the critical issues, or will it be like before - stick to the planned schedule no matter what happens in reality?
If it is the latter I imagine people are going to get really angry once more, but at least this time they have learned to back up their old GUI files so they can easily revert to the last stable version. My plan is to pilot this to a small group of users once PL 01 is released, any IT users brave enough to use PL0 are welcome to, but as you say we should be mindful this can be disruptive. Following that pilot we will start to roll it out to our wider business user community in stages, first stage on PL01 and any appropriate hot fixes, if released and relevant.
SAP has so much baggage to deal with, so the unit testing and customer involved user acceptance testing will never capture the various scenarios and the way people use things in the real world. Totally welcome the expedient release of hotfixes, these should absolutely come promptly as issues are addressed, especially on the PL0 initial public release. SAP GUI is obviously not an app from the Microsoft store and it will never be, because we need to perform license checks and other checks when the software is downloaded.
Some of the popup in dark theme uses "black" fonts which is hard to read. Anyone found any fix for this? The solution for those function modules is mentioned in SAP Note Hint: It's only one. Maybe you could increase the contrast here? The answer is apc btw. It's hard to see if you have just three nodes, it's impossible to distinguish them when it's And a color which is darker and more easily to distinguish from the regular text color does not meet this criteria anymore.
The real cause is that the text color in Quartz is not white or black like in Signature for example , but some gray which does not allow a good contrast between different colors anymore. When can we expect the first patch to arrive? The new is quite buggy. I experience crashes - this is the worst but also the following:.
Not only colors help to find the right button, but the new icons are not enough precise anymore. You probably render it with fonts or other vector elements, but it just lacks precision. If you compareit to Google Material Icons - you'll see a huge difference. These are much more precise and elegant. They are renderd much better even on big screen lile PC monitors. You probably won't change it in but please consider working on this element. The last one I liked was Quite elegant and robust.
I know I can still pick its look and feel in options, but it's a shame that SAP joined this sad trends to go monochromatic. Patchlevel 1 is expected for end of March. Regarding the issues you mentioned above: Please report an incident for each of this. The issues won't be solved by mentioning them here and you can probably imagine that if everybody was facing this in general, we would have lots of incidents on this - but fact is: We don't.
But this issue is indeed something that another customer already mentioned and we are trying to reproduce it, but so far failed. Regarding your opinion on the icons: I have forwarded this to our Global Design team. My personal view regarding the colors is quite similar to yours, but on the other hand we also got feedback saying that too many colors overwhelm the users.
Thank you for the very prompt reply, Frank. I'll report these issues as soon as they reoccur to capture some screenshots. Most of them happen every day to me. I was able to open the mdb file in MS Access successfully so the original history file is not corrupted. Updated Rules of Engagement.
