Screen painter not working in graphical mode

[former_member758043]

When I click on 'layout' I got no errors it just only works in text mode. I already check in utilities<Screen painter< Graphical layout editor but it does nothing. I am running it on an ubuntu 20.04 machine with SAP GUI 7.50

Hi. thank you for your answer!

I did follow the that post bur the problems still there. If is an authorization problem do you who i got to ask for that permission? My co workers didnt have problems at all and I assume we have the same permissions.

Hi alvaro_imaz3

np!

i agree, it's not my best answer but to be safe, check with transaction SU01D your userid against one on of your co workers

meanwhile i'm reasearching which ports you need open to run screen painter...

let me know,ty!A

I just check and with my coworkers ids it shows me the same information.

Hi alvaro_imaz3

to rule out the userID settings, can you ask one of your colleagues to login with their credentials on your ubuntu 20.04 machine?

[former_member758043]

I just try with a college's credentials and it was just the same, looks like i dont have the graphical interface installed or something like that.

Ubuntu with Windows VM and SAP GUI for Windows? Or SAP GUI for Java? or SAP GUI for HTML?

Could you describe the symptom precisely or is it really nothing at all, pressing the Layout button has absolutely no effect and you immediately get the control back? ("it does nothing")

Hi!

Im using SAP GUI for JAVA in Ubuntu. When I click on 'layout' it shows me this screen. With out trying to load anything just this.

[former_member758043]

sorry, i forgot to attach the screenshot.

The graphical editor is not available in the Java distribution. See 454939 - SAP GUI for Java functional scope compared to SAP GUI for Windows.

[former_member758043]

oh, thats a problem. I cant see that link because im not an S user.

[Sandra_Rossi]

What is fun is that I have the graphical editor with my SAP GUI for Windows, but I switched a few years ago to the alphanumeric editor because it was faster... 😉

[amontella96]

faster and with less bugs if you ask me 🙂

[Sandra_Rossi]

amontella96 hmmm another ABAPosaurus around here? 🙂 (like Jelena used to say)

[amontella96]

sandra.rossi I like the "ABAPosaurus" but nope, I am a Basisaurus with passion for ramifications 😉 nice to e-meet you 🙂

[Sandra_Rossi]

alvaro_imaz3 The note 454939 - SAP GUI for Java functional scope compared to SAP GUI for Windows. just says "graphical editor is not available" (in the Java distribution). Use the alphanumeric editor or install a Windows VM on your Ubuntu system.

Hello,

Faced a similar issue once, it was resolved as below:

When you open the graphical editor. Please take a new session and execute su53. Take a screenshot and send it to the security/basis team.If there are any missing authorization, they can provide it to you.
