SAPGUI Java Mac SE80 Lookup and Display Buttons Don't Work

[Former Member]

I downloaded and installed the SAP NW ABAP Trial 7.03. Along with that, I installed SAPGUI Java for Mac 7.30 rev 1.

In SE80, it looks like the two buttons to the right of the input field don't fully resolve and do not work when you click on them.

I attempted to download a higher revision, but my certification S-user account doesn't allow me to download much, just trial downloads and paired SAPGUI offerings.

Is there a way to fix this? Is there a way to be able to download the latest revision somewhere? I miss the ftp.

Thanks

Chris

I can send you a link to upload the latest 7.30 patch 3

I've uploaded the manual too.

Thanks Jude!

I've downloaded and installed, but the input help and display buttons still don't work in SE80.

I checked the known issues list, and I've tried 4 different themes, but it didn't help. I did a search for OSS notes as well, but didn't find anything applicable.

I'd like to say I've done something outside the norm with this install, but all I've done is install the NW 7.03 trial and SAP GUI for Java. I'm thinking this might be another Java runtime bug.

Hi Chris

Kindly go thru the SAP Notes

Note 1674351 - Mac: SAP GUI for Java window no longer accepting user input

Note 1617725 - SAP GUI for Java FAQ and problem solving

Thanks & Regards

Hi Sriram,

Unfortunately, the first note doesn't seem to apply. The GUI accepts input in other transactions like SE11, and I never actually minimize the window. Also, the note is older and the author indicates that this would be fixed in the next release.

The second note has redirected me to submitting a customer message though which I would do if my s-user account would let me. :S

Thanks though,

Chris

Hello Chris,

We see this problem happen with Java 1.7.0_25, but not with 1.7.0_21, so it might be caused by a change in the Java update.

We are currently investigating this.

That's what I suspected. Thanks Rolf-Martin!

Hello Chris,

as a temporary workaround, you can tell SAP GUI for Java to use 1.7.0_21 by modifying the value of the key JVMVersion to "1.7.0_21" (instead of "1.7*") in the Info.plist file found in the application bundle (Finder -> Show Package Content").

In case you no longer have 1.7.0_21, Oracle has a "Previous Releases" Archive on their Java SE Downloads page.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Hello Chris,

Indeed the reason is a change inside 1.7.0_25. We found a way to make this work again, that will come as part of SAP GUI for Java 7.30 rev 4.

That's good to hear. Thank you. Is it possible to share this new version once it's available?

[RMW]

Hello Chris,

the availability of this version will be announced in this group. I suggest to activate "receive email notification" in http://scn.sap.com/thread/100668. As soon as it is on Service Marketplace, you will get an email.

Best regards
