hostname 'NiHLGetNodeAddr' unknown SAP GUI 7.40

[leonardo_pavia]

Hi friends, I just downloaded this morning  SAP GUI 7.40 for Windows (yes, is available as of today Oct. 6, I just found it in download section) and installed successfully on my Windows 8.1 system. Everything seems to be working perfectly except systems with SAP Router connection. I got this error:

hostname 'NiHLGetNodeAddr' unknown

Anybody else with this issue?

Thanks

Leonardo

Hi Leonardo

Same error here, seems the SAP router strings are either not saved or saved incorrectly. Found that if you open the file SAPUILandscape.xml you can remove the tailing slash i.e. router="/H/<host>/H/" to router="/H/<host>" to get the connection working. Also discovered that this works okay for the SAP Logon Pad but the NWBC logon seems to remove the SAProuter values all together.

Systems without a router string, no problems.

Hello together,

I had the same issue. After installation of SAP GUI 740 everything was fine. Then I installed the NWBC and after that I got the error in NWBC, but GUI still worked.

After restarting the SAP GUI, I got the same error in "normal" GUI.

To solve the issue, I uninstalled the NWBC and restarted the SAP GUI and now everything is fine.

We don't user a router!

Best regards

Daniel
