Hi Velu,

Thanks for this info. I installed the new version today.
I don't really see what was changed with the splitter editor. 🙁 Can you provide some detail?

SAP Tweak GUI is a good idea. I tried to set "XP design theme", but I couldn't select it 🙁 It seems there is no such folder in c:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\themes\. Is it the same for you?
Hopefully it will be fixed with patch.

Best regards,
Peter

BV,

AFAIK, certain "tweaking" of SAP GUI is possible even with older versions via Windows Control Panel applet (not sure about other OS-es)

Hi Rich,

OSS Note 950052 (SAP GUI for Windows 7.10: Beta program - updates and FAQ) also mentions the "Dynpro Splitter (an improved version of the known Splitter Control)", so there is something changed on the GUI itseld. Most probable it's only visible with a 7.10 system.

Best regards,

Do yu know if this new SAPGUI will interface with OFFICE 2007 as well as Vista.

Secondly I noticed the BI 7.10 componant for 2004s is now in a seperate install and support stream. Why is this being split out from the SAPGUI?

Yes, based on the marketplace under alias /sapgui it's mentioned:
- Support for Microsoft Vista.
- Support for Microsoft Office 2007.

In the marketplace under alias /sapgui in the future list the following is mentioned:
"Support for new NetWeaver developer tools: Code Completion, new ABAP frontend Editor and the new ABAP debugger. "
Does anyone have info about what the change is for the new ABAP debugger?
Thanks,
Peter

There are some new features, but like the new Dynpro Splitter Control they aren't effective unless you have an updated backend system as well. For instance the majority of the new code completion functionality is done in the ABAP Kernel and ABAP coding itself although it also uses a few new features that needed to be added to the frontend control as well.

The new SAPGui parts of features always get rolled out first to make sure they are available before any customers reach the necessary backend levels. It wouldn't be any fun to get an upgraded backend system but not be able to use new features yet because you are waiting on an updated Gui. 🙂

Around the frontend editor there are also some fixes and minor enhancements, but I do believe that the majority of these also found their way into a recent patch for the 6.40 gui. One of the fixes I noticed was better use of the auto closing brackets for field-symbols.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately having the latest GUI without the latest backend is not fun either 🙂

Has anyone found a way to use "load balancing" with 7.10 Frontend Installation Server? 6.40 had this functionality built in, but in 7.10, the installation server does not allow for it. You can replicate an Installation Server to another share location on a different server, but it will not redirect a client to the closest Installation Server like 6.40 did.

I have installed 710 and use ECC6. When
using ALV-GRID (for example with SE16N) and
changing the output to excel-inplace, i get the error:

View cannot be switched. Product not installed or integration not active
Message no. 0K000

What do i have to install?

We have the problem with Office XP and R/3 4.7. So it's not isolated. We checked out Excel settings for macros and VB and they are wide open.

Is there a way to roll out an install to desktops and limit only the users seeing the "Analyzer".

Hi,
SAPGUI 710 PATCH 1 is released. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem with the new ABAP editor code hints:(
Best regards,

After downloading and installing pathlevel-1, the future seemed positive:
- Exporting an ABAP Query list via F7 to Excel-2007 started 'normaly':
-- It started Excel-2007
-- The data was transported into Excel-2007

But....most of the data was scrambled with 'strange' characters: it looked like a country setting / language settings problem under Windows, so I tried many different combinations, but sofar unsuccessfully.....

Anyone with 'the' solution ?
