Hi Markus,

As per note 140073 SAP java GUI support below OS.

Software:

OS:

- SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11

- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11

- openSUSE 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3

- Fedora Core 12 and 13

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4

- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

Also i installed SAPGUI java 7.10rev 11 on Suse linux 10.1.

after java path set i need to start SAPGUI /opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI7.10rev11/bin/guilogon.

Is there any way to create shortcut icon on Desktop so that we will not go to terminal & then again enter same path to start.

i think we can do it through copy path & past in notepad & create a batch file. But i am not sure about this.

Plz advice

Regards

Manoj

Hello Manoj,

you should not use SAP GUI for Java 7.10, since it is no longer supported.

Installing the latest SAP GUI for Java 7.20, there should also be a shortcut on the desktop to launch SAP GUI for Java in a convenient way.

Java

Java VM: Sun Microsystems Inc. Version 1.5.0_20

So when installed Install SAPGUI for Java 7.20 rev 1. it is successfully installed.

Hello Manoj,

indeed SAP GUIf or Java 7.20 is not compiled for JSE 5. Please use latest Java SE 6 (see system requirements for details).

You should also install SAP GUI for Java 7.20 rev 4 instead of rev 1, which comes with a long list of bug fixes since rev 1.

I was wrong regarding the creation of a shortcut on the desktop. What is created is a shortcut in the application starter menu.

From there you should be able to drag it to a Folder View (KDE jargon, other desktops might differ).

The file created during the installation process should be found in one of the directories, the environment variable XDG_DATA_DIRS is pointing to.

Best regards

Hi,

This time i downloaded java 6 and installed it.

Also set java environment PATH.

But during the SAP GUI 7.20 rev4 installation it showing me below error:

Installation failed with fatal errors.

The corresponding log file can be found here:

"/root/guiinstall.log"

Please consider removing the "/opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI7.20rev4" folder manually.

Any idea?

Regards

Hello Manoj,

you might want to scan /root/guiinstall.log for error messages. Maybe there is an obvious reason for the failure.

Otherwise please consider to create a a [support message|http://service.sap.com/message] on component BC-FES-JAV and attach the guiinstall.log.

Hello Manoj,

looks like the installer file you have downloaded is corrupted.

To check, please compare the the number below

$ md5sum PlatinGUILNX_4-10008929.JAR 
100eaaf0698e8b8949a2db1f77ff4b7b  PlatinGUILNX_4-10008929.JAR

with your output doing the same

$ md5sum PlatinGUILNX_4-10008929.JAR

Best regards
