Displaying issues with Eclipse Modeling Tools

jacques_renaux2 — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:53:04 GMT

Hello,

I'm facing an issue since the installation of the new Eclipse Modeling Tools Version: 2026-03 (4.39.0) with the latest version of BW Modeling Workbench (please check attached screenshot)

The issue is with Composite providers Scenario tab display and Explore Data Flow option for any BW Object (please check attached screenshots)

the display is somehow white which blocks me to select related buttons ...

Could you please help fixing this issue ? Please let me know if further details are needed.

Kind regards,
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed

I don't have this problem with BW Modeling Tool 1.27.28.

Can you please update to the most recent version?

Roland

Hello @jacques_renaux2 ,

Try the below options ones,

Change Eclipse theme → Switch to Light theme (Window → Preferences → Appearance).

Disable HiDPI scaling → Add -Dswt.autoScale=false in eclipse.ini.

Update / downgrade tools → Install latest BW Modeling Tools patch or revert to previous Eclipse (4.38/4.36).

Reset workspace → Start Eclipse with a new workspace.

Thanks,
Sravan

Hello Mohamed,

we had the same issue and with lots of AI input and testing we found a way how it is working again to have a completed data flow view. (But to be honest this is really a workaround and SAP has to provide a solution for that!)

Add this 3 parameters in the eclipse.ini below -vmargs

-Dswt.autoScale.updateOnRuntime=false
-Dswt.enable.autoScale=false
-Dswt.autoScale=100

But that was not enough, get into the Properties of your eclipse.exe choose Compatibility and Change high DPI settings, check High DPI scaling override with Scaling performed by "System" (not "Application" or "System (Enhanced)". (I hope the translation ist ok otherwise follow the screenshot below)

I got it only working with the combination of the parameters and the compatibility mode. Let us know if it also works for you, Thx!

Hi,

I had the same problem with a fresh install of both Eclipse 4.38 and 4.39. The former in the official HANA STUDIO (release IMC_STUDIO2_289_2-80000323) the latter being Eclipse 26-03. I installed the BWMT 1.27.28 and the ABAP & HANA tools all at once (which might be the problem)

I decided to re-install BWMT from my Eclipse 4.39 (2026-03)

1. uninstall BWMT ( Help >> About Eclipse IDE >> Installation Details >> select 6 components with 1.27.28 Provider SAP)
2. install BWMT again (still version 1.27.28) eclipse 2603 (Help >> Install new Software.. >>

Hope this is the solution and won't break
Good Luck
