Continue with alphanumeric editor". Also he tried test the RFC connection "EU_SCRP_WN32". Same got failed with below error

From our end we are able to open the screen painter without any issue and able to perform the connection test for RFC EU_SCRP_WN32 successfully.

Hello Zahir,

In the initial screen of the screen painter (TCODE SE51), choose 'Utilities' ---> Settings. A pop-up showing the user specific settings is displayed. Choose the tab screen painter. In that tick the check box Graphical layout editor. This will launch Graphical screen painter.

Hi Hitesh,

This option is already marked in SE51 screen painter.

Did you try to

• Reinstall/Upgrade his SAP GUI (there is also a check installation icon in the SAP GUI option)
• Change the time out of the RFC destination (special options, Keep-Alive-Timeout)

Hi,

We had the same problem (timeout) starting screen painter on a SAPGUI client pc.

The issue coud be solved by adding the missing sapgw00, sapgw01, etc. entries in the services file located at the \windows\system32\drivers\etc directory on the SAPGUI client pc.

>> services

sapgw00  3300/tcp

sapgw01  3301/tcp

sapgw02  3302/tcp

sapgw03  3303/tcp

sapgw04  3304/tcp

sapgw05  3305/tcp

sapgw06  3306/tcp

sapgw07  3307/tcp

sapgw08  3308/tcp

....

sapgw99  3399/tcp

<<

Kind regards

Peter
