Sadly, after 5 PL I'm still experiencing issues with the refresh of the dynpro screens.

True. I have created two customer incidents in the past about it. SAP has been unable to reproduce or fix the refresh problem although I have provided all the required details. They even had me upgrade my graphics card drivers. Nice to hear that we aren't the only ones suffering from it.

Please, can someone help me out?

I need to adjust the Keyboard Shortcuts. I want to remove the "ctrl"+"left" and +"right" Keys to move the tabs, since I need them to navigate through Text word by word. Adjusting the NwbcOptions.xml (e.g. to "Alt"+"left" and +"right" does not have any effect. 🙁

Any ideas?

Hello Sandra,

thanks for the fast reply. I found that documentation in the net, but maybe I've done something wrong. Find below the two Versions of my config-file, non of them worked so far:

Version one - Change the Modifier-Key to "ALT":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ID>MoveCurrentTabLeft</ID>

</NwbcCommand>

<ID>MoveCurrentTabRight</ID>

<Key>Right</Key>

<Description>Move Right</Description>

</NwbcCommand>

<ActiveConnectionGuid>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx</ActiveConnectionGuid>

<Theme>BlueCrystal</Theme>

<AutologonMode>False</AutologonMode>

</SingleOptions>

</NwbcOptions>

Version two: remove the key completely:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<ID>MoveCurrentTabLeft</ID>

</NwbcCommand>

<ID>MoveCurrentTabRight</ID>

</NwbcCommand>

<ActiveConnectionGuid>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx</ActiveConnectionGuid>

<Theme>BlueCrystal</Theme>

<AutologonMode>False</AutologonMode>

</SingleOptions>

</NwbcOptions>

This patch repaired my duplicate NWBC entries in the logon, which caused an unresponsive NWBC and NWBC hanging. Great troubleshooting info at NWBC 5.0 & SAPGUI 7.40 - Tips 'n Tricks

Hi Christoph,

This definitely should not be happening. This is not a generally known issue. Can you please open an OSS message? This is the most efficient way to get an answer.

Best wishes,

Julie Plummer.

i tried to recover the landscape Migration as described here: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-58911

i started reset landscape migration (in NWBC)

first start, it seems to work,

entrys were available by the first start of NWBC + SAPGUI 🙂

but then,

opening SAPGUI logon-screen a second time - all empty again 😕

start reset migration (in NWBC) for the second time ,

an additional warning Screen Comes on every start

Hi everybody ,

I looked at many sources to change the keyboard settings, but none of them did not work in NWBC 6.5. I could not change the combination of Ctrl + Left and Ctrl + Right..

I added following codes on the this location NwbcOption.xml file . C:\Users\Yunus\AppData\Roaming\SAP\NWBC\NwbcOptions.xml

.. 
..
 <Nwbc40Commands>
    <NwbcCommand>
      <ID>MoveCurrentTabLeft</ID>
      <Key>Left</Key>
      <ModifierKeys>Alt</ModifierKeys>
      <Description>Move Left</Description>
    </NwbcCommand>
    <NwbcCommand>
      <ID>MoveCurrentTabRight</ID>
      <Key>Right</Key>
      <ModifierKeys>Alt</ModifierKeys>
      <Description>Move Right</Description>
    </NwbcCommand>
  </Nwbc40Commands>
</NwbcOptions>

After that , I changed Personel Settings like that.

But when I NWBC opened , It show error like that . (Key parameter can not be null. ) But I Filled it .. And It didn't change any things..
