Hello there,

1) Unlike Redhat Enterprise system, Fedora Core is not officially supported by SAP (although there are similarities between

both systems)

2) Are you sure that the SAPGUI have access to the correct version of the Sun JDK on your linux system

(your development machine)? As far as I know it has to be Sun JDK 1.4 for 32-bit machine.

Hi dariyoosh,

thank you for your reply,

In our organization sap is installed on fedora linux with 'jre1.6.0_14' .

as per your suggestion how can i change the JRE version from 1.6 to 1.4.

we have already JRE 1.6 version in our system.

regards,

sateesh.

Dear sateesh,

could you please explain in more detail what you are referring to when saying

In our organization sap is installed on fedora linux with 'jre1.6.0_14'

In this forum, we normally assume that you mean SAP on the server side. But the subject of this thread is called, SAPGUI problem, therefore I assume that you are only facing SAPGUI problems on the client side (and not the server side).

SAPGUI problem on the Client side:

For officially supported distributions for the JavaGUI [1] are mentioned in SAP note 959236 - Supported Java frontend platforms for 7.10 / 7.11 / 7.01. This note says that Fedora Linux is supported, so you are on the safe side here.

Also, the JavaGUI is fully compatible with Java 1.6. I', using the JavaGUI with jdk1.6.0_14 without any problems. I'm using a small script to start the JavaGUI on my machine. You should try it youself. Please note that you have to adept the paths accordingly. Sometimes it happens that some variables are not set correctly. Also, the Java path is very important!

#!/bin/sh
 
# SAP GUI Path
SGP=/home/hannes/data/progs/sapgui/SAPGUI7.10rev8
 
export SNC_LIB=/usr/lib/libsecude.so
export CREDDIR=/dev/shm/ssoclient-`id -u`
export JAVA_HOME=/home/hannes/data/progs/jdk1.5.0_16
export PLATIN_JAVA_VER=1.5.0_16
export PLATIN_JAVA=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SGP/bin
$SGP/bin/guilogon

Thanks,

Hannes

the GUI is completly goes to wait stage. it shows a white screen. some times it goes to main screen when we active or check or save the

program it will not respond.

what is the problem please post the solution as early as possible .
