Cannot launch SAPGui from ABAP in Eclipse

ChristianGnter — Wed, 13 Jul 2016 06:33:08 GMT

Hi,

i'm facing the issue that i cannot launch the SAPGui from ABAP in Eclipse anymore. It worked in the past but i'm not quite sure when the feature broke. When i try to launch SAPGui via executing a report or directly via ALT+F8 this progress bar appears and vanishes after some time but nothing happens.

That are the entries in the ABAP Communication Log.

Maybe the problem is that my installation is not (yet) supported. But i'm quite sure that excactly the same combination worked already for some time.

SAPGui: 7.40 SP 09

Eclipse 4.6.0 (Neon)

ADT 2.60.3

The problem occurs with all our backend systems e.g. 7.40 SP13 or 7.31. SP05.

Does anyone know how I can solve this?

Thanks.

Regards Christian

Hi Christian,

I have the problem, but I am using MARS.s (4.5.2). Since updating SAP Gui from Patchlevel 3 to 9 (as your installation) launching SAP Gui does not work. This might be the reason...

my problem is solved. Installation of SAP-GUI seems to be buggy. After reinstallation launching SAP GUI does work. May be in my case Eclipse was open while installing the patch.

I tried this too, but without success. Maybe Thomas Fiedler can have a look at this. Is this a known issue? Any further ideas?

Sorry, I cannot reproduce the wrong behavior.

I just installed PL9 and it works as before.

Thomas.

Ok, thanks. Any further tips for analyzing the root cause?

Hi Christian,

Can you cross-check if the same problem occurs with Eclipse Mars and the ADT?

Yes, the same error occurs in Mars (4.5.2) with ADT 2.60.3.

Its very strange - yesterday after new installation of SAP Gui everything seems fine. Today the problem is the same as before

SAP Gui does not start and when I want to exit eclipse it hangs.

The same here (Mars & Neon).

Just patched it from PL7 to PL9: SAP GUI can be started without problems.

Concerning the ADT Tools: I have a 2.60.4 installed. Perhaps worth a try, but my hopes are bit limited, that this is the fix

Just updated Neon to ADT 2.60.4. The error still occurs.

Some new findings from my side:

For Sap Logon Pad I had the systems grouped into folders as favorites.

After Installation of PL9 the SAPUILandscape.xml from an older version seems to be not valid any more. With an initial file it works. If I add the favorites with PL9 it works also.

Hi Hartmut,

that is very interesting.

You say that PL9 invalidates your previous SAPUILandscape.xml. Does it still work with SAP Logon, or is only ADT affected?

Do you have a copy of your invalidated SAPUILandscape.xml file that you could share with me for a deeper analysis?

Best regards,

Marco

Hi Marco,

SAP Logon has no problem with the file. How can I send it to? I don't like to post it here.

Best regards,

Hartmut

Any news?

I could reproduce the issue now successfully, too 🙂

Definitely, seems to be an issue in the XMLs
