Hi all,
SAP GUI for Java 7.30 rev 5 is now available on Service MarketPlace.
For the direct link and user requirements please refer to here.
Enhancements and New Features
- Support for New OS Versions:
- openSUSE 13.1
- OS X Mavericks
- Windows 8.1
- Compatibility:
- This version has been prepared to play according to the rules of the new security features announced for future Java 7 updates.
- OS X only:
- Launching the application bundle now is possible without having Java 6 installed. Before, the Finder used to check for the availability of the Java 6 runtime, which at the end, has not been used anyway. As a result of the chances, it is also technically no longer possible at all to run SAP GUI for Java 7.30 using Java 6.
- Grid Control:
- Support for leading spaces in editable grid cells has been added.
- The state (enable/disable) of the Undo button in the grid toolbar now is in sync with the grid's undo buffer.
- The precision of the calculation for column widths has been improved.
- TextEdit Control:
- The behavior of limiting the text length has been made consistent for various scenarios. Also the behavior has been harmonized between the SAP GUI flavors.
Bugfixes
- Combining characters received from the backend could result in infinite loops in some cases.
- Security:
- Running without a trust level assigned could result in misleading error messages.
- Tree Control:
- Disabled icons now keep their colors in order to be still recognizable.
- A rendering issue with the selection of a cell in column tree seen on retina displays has been solved.
- Various repaint and resize issues have been fixed.
- Text not fitting in items in a list tree is now cut off instead of appending an ellipsis. This was done to be compatible with SAP GUI for Windows and ABAP code which depends on this behavior.
- SAP Logon:
- An error of the previous version when running without using configuration files for message servers or routers has been fixed.
- Drag and Drop:
- An issue performing drag and drop when running on Java 7 Update 40 or newer has been addressed.
- Window Handling:
- It could happen that the titles of the modal and main window of the same session were flickering in turns when activating the session by clicking in the main window.
- Remote Function Call (RFC):
- On Linux and OS X, the RFC library was only able to find and launch RFC server applications part of the SAP GUI for Java installation like sapftp and saphttp, in case the environment variable PLATIN_HOME was set to point the the bin directory of the SAP GUI for Java installation package, the executable name and path did not contain spaces and SAP GUI for Java was not running as an applet.
End of Support
SAP GUI for Java 7.20 is no longer supported because Oracle Java SE 6 is no longer supported. Please upgrade to SAP GUI for Java 7.30.
Best regards
