[former_member695488]

Hi All,

I get the SAP GUI error for 7.40 version. I'm using the SAP ROUTER.

I received the error text "hostname 'nihlgetnodeadd is' unknown". What should I do to overcome this problem?

Thanks Everyone

Dear Omer,

If you are facing issue while connecting to SAP system using router string.

then as a work around, You can solve this issue by following below steps,

1 - windowsKey+R.

2 - Type " %appdata%\SAP " (type without " ).

3 - Backup the Original files to another location.

4 - Open SAPUILandscape.xml file with notepad.

5 - Use Key board short cut, ctrl+H for find and replace.

5.1 - Key in the string in Find " router="/H/<IPaddress of SAP router>/H/"/> ".

5.2 - Key in the string in replace  " router="/H/<IPaddress of SAP router>"/> ".

6 - Save changes.

7 - Close all SAP GUI sessions (save and logoff, just in case).

8 - close SAP GUI

9 - Re-open SAP GUI & you can try connecting to SAP server.

This is a bug in SAP GUI 740 and will be fixed in next patch release
