Thinapp support

[Former Member]

Good afternoon,

This is not about vSphere but it is a Vmware+Sap product question: I think this is the right place for it...

We are a Vmware customer already: our SAP runs on vSphere. Now, our IT dept are seriously looking at using Vmware Thinapp as our future platform for delivering software to the Windows 7 desktop. We are only a small affiliate but if this works here, who knows but it may get adopted elsewhere in the company.

Over in the Sap team we have 2 issues.

1. whether to run the very stable Gui 710 patch 18 which our users are on right now, or whether to go for 720. That decision will depend on how flakey that is next year, & the short support window for 710, & hopefully replies to this post. How do other customers find Thinapp as a Sapgui platform? What about BW Addon & Analyzer - any complications there? Of course we plan to test all this as well but knowing other people's experience would be invaluable - cheers.

2, Support. It's not yet certified for use with Sap according to Sap note 66971, but otherwise none the wiser! The note is very vague. Does anyone at Vmware have any more detailed information about the track to certification? & if so then for which versions of Sap gui?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Pat from Dockerland.

Hi,

We are working with the SAPGUI QA team to get thinapp with SAPGUI officially supported.

It is currently under test. We hope! that it will be supported in Q1/2011.

Since the testing is on SAPGUI 7.20 and 7.20 is likely the first version to be suported,

we recommend to go for that version.

Thank you for the prompt response Michael.

Do you know if the BW Add-on is included in the certification of Thinapp with SAP?
