hostname 'NiHLGetNodeAddr' unknown SAP GUI 7.40

[#1]

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

Hello Leandro,

Check SAP Note 2077230.  They discuss this issue with a couple of solutions depending on which patch level you're on. Here is what they stated for the workarounds until the next patch:

• Workaround for patch 0:
  If the SAProuter string is missing, delete your UI landscap files: SAPUILandscape.xml and SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml (see also note 2075150 about where to find them) and restart SAP Logon (Pad), so that data migration will be made again by SAP Logon (Pad) and SAPUILandscape.xml and SAPUILandscapeGlobal.xml will be newly created.
  If you have the error message while making logon,
  open the landscap file in a text editor and replace the string /H/" (4 characters) with " (one character), so that the router string has the following syntax
  /H/saprouter/S/saprouterservice
  (make sure that no other strings outside <Routers>...</Routers> are modified),
  then restart SAP Logon (Pad), the logon will succeed.
  If you are a system administrator for your SAP Logon Pad (saplgpad.exe) users, you should modify their landscape files for them or distribute the modified files to them.

• Solution for patch 1:
  The trailing "/H/" will be deleted automatically after the mirgration by SAP Logon (Pad) from ini to landscape format

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
