SAPGui 7.20 Patch 6 - sapbarc.ocx - Error

[Former Member]

APO users report an activex error when using /SAPAPO/CDPSO

Error is: Illegal objecttype in BarifEstimateChartforObject

I noted that the file in the Front End SAPGUI folder: sapbarc.ocx is changed with Patch 6

Previously we were at Patch 3.

Anyone else?

Follow up with Customer Message to SAP Support yielded nothing.

Hello Bob

that is not my mistake...

Sorry for the trouble with the note.

I wll contat the developer for this behaviour. But i have seen in the

info file ( internally ) for Sapgui patch 7, that this note is includin in the

Sapgui Patch 7

Of course if you have no problems you can use the old file. But i dont know

if this have an influence on other transactions....

If the Sapgui patch 7 is released, please install it on your frontends.

Best regards.

Hello,

same issues for us as well. Would be great to know if there has been any progress.

Replacing an old ocx-file is of course not a nice solution and patch 7 is not available until now.

With SAPGUI720 Patch 5 it was working as well.

best regards,

Hello Ingo Seeberg-Hinrichs,

SAP support provided us patch 6 hotfix 3 which addressed this problem fully.

If you use this you will also need SAPSETUP_PATCH.exe which they released about a week ago, to correct problem where LSH could not be configured on the installation server after applying patch 6. You will get 'Access Denied' message.

The setup patch also corrected a problem with VERY SLOW install times from SAP Installation servers which were running Server 2008 R2.

So you need them both .... or wait until patch 7 releases.

Good luck,

Bob

Thanks. I have also found that by putting the file sapbarc.ocx from patch 3 back into the SAPGui folder on systems with Patch 6, the user can work without the error dialog appearing.

sapbarc.ocx 7200.1.3.481 Works with Patch 6 Gui

sapbarc.ocx 7200.2.6.493 Causes pop up error with Patch 6 Gui

Sven,

I opened an OSS Message as you requested. I was give the following response:

Dear Customer,

Many thanks for the information provided. Could you please kindly check

SAP note:

1584140 Barchart: BARC Error on moving timeline phantom

Let us know if this issue still exists after you applied this note.

Best regards

SAP NOTE 1584140 Simply documents it as a known issue and states it will be fixed with a future patch release. No workaround is provided thus there is 'Nothing' to apply with this note. I really would like to know is it okay to simply replace the Patch 6 version of sapbarc.ocx with the one from Patch 3 which does not generate the error. I have four users testing with this configuration and no problems reported. Thank you, Bob H
