Improve SAPGUI - Stop hiding "Create Session" during hourglass / sandclock

[jschoetteler]

Hi SAP-Experts & SAPGUI-developers,

SAPGUI offers several options to create a new session:

1) Menu: System-->Create Session

2) Button

3) System-Menu (Top left)

So far - so good.

But - Why is only the last option working, even when the sandclock / hourglass is running?

This behaviour is not user-friendly.

Why is this feature hidden that way?

I do have some kind of understanding that "Stop Transaction" is hidden, so that only experienced SAP-users know about this feature.

But "Create Session"?

I don't want to explain this hidden feature to all of our SAP-users anymore.

SAPGUI should have a more consistent behaviour.

It guess, it will be impossible to use Option 1) Menu: System-->Create Session during hourglass/sandclock.

But at least it should be possible to change 2) SAPGUI-Button

to be always active - like 3).

Question to all of you: How do you think about "Stop hiding this feature"?

Best regards

Juergen

Hi,

usually on sap you have the opportunity to create a new session simply pressing the keyboard shortcut

ctrl+N or, on Os X, cmd+N

This solution works even if the current session is with sandclock / hourglass.

Hi Paolo,

Keyboard shortcut ctrl+N doesn't work when current session is in process and therefore displaying sandclock / hourglass.

(I just doublechecked it with my SAPGUI 740 patchlevel 5).

Meanwhile i updated to SAPGUI 740 Patchlevel 7.

Nothing has changed:

<Ctrl>+N is not available during Sandclock/Hourglass.
