STUDENT INSTALLATION DOCUMENT. So, we are only 2 days away from the delivery!UWM SAP UCC. Supported Platforms : SAP GUI for Windows environment -As mentioned in SAP Note 147519, the shipment date for SAP GUI for Windows 7.70 is the 29th of January 2021. SAP GUI : Overview SAP GUI is a client tool which is used to access remote central server and runs on different Operating systems like Windows, Unix, Mac, etc.,This is used to manage and access SAP applications like SAP ECC and SAP BI (Business Intelligence) System.

For the latest information always refer to SAP Note 147519.As you can see in the image above, there is an overlap of support durations for releases 7.60 and 7.70 of about 14 months. SAP GUI LifecycleSAP GUI for Windows 7.70 was created with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 which is in mainstream support by Microsoft until 9 th of April 2024 (see also ).Therefore, SAP GUI for Windows 7.70 is supported until 9 th of April 2024.The chart below shows the current dates (on 27 th of January 2019) for the lifecycle of SAP GUI for Windows releases 7.50 (already out of support) up to 7.70. However, in addition to these topics we could also work on a couple of other smaller topics that are explained below. Multi-Monitor-Scaling support – for correct display of SAP GUI in environments with multiple monitors using different scaling settingsAll of these areas have been eagerly expected by several customers and required huge effort on SAP GUI side. 64bit versions of NWRFC controls – for being able to use those controls also from 64bit processes like Microsoft Excel 64bit Edge (based on Chromium) as alternative browser control for use in the SAP GUI HTML Control – for becoming independent of the Internet Explorer Control
Sap Gui 7.4 Install SAP GUI
Of course, we do not override a previous setting – you can continue using SAP GUI with the theme of your choice. For the first time we also offer a dark version of the theme that can be used by users who prefer a dark background.There are four Quartz Themes (see also image above):When you install SAP GUI for Windows 7.70, Quartz is the default theme and SAP GUI will choose either the light or the dark version depending on your Windows settings. New Features in Release 7.70The successor to the Belize theme is the Quartz (Fiori 3.0) theme.
New states like a hover on selected state for several UI elements are introduced All features of Belize themes including theme specific coloring are supported Fiori features (for SAP S/4HANA systems) are supported just like in Belize
The new ABAP Editor can also use theme specific colors (if a new option is activated)The feedback we have received so far on the Quartz Themes (also from the Beta program that we ran) is much better than the feedback related to Belize. The main menu is back by default (also for Belize themes) A new monospaced font (“72 monospace”) is used which suits the proportional font (“72”) much better (also for Belize themes)
To solve this, corrections in the respective application are needed. In such cases, the application will display dark text on dark background. SAP Note 2930005: Some ABAP applications use the SAP GUI background colors, but not the SAP GUI font colors for content in HTML controls.
There is a lot of confusion regarding the support lifecycle of Internet Explorer (even though Microsoft has not announced the end of life, yet)For all these reasons as of release 7.70 we have integrated the Microsoft WebView2 control (Edge based on Chromium) as an alternative to the Internet Explorer Control (see SAP Note 2913405 for more information). Some web-based SAP UI frameworks intend to stop support for Internet Explorer Many users have moved to other browsers and want to use them also when working with SAP GUI Edge (WebView2 Control) as alternative browser controlSo far the SAP GUI HTML Control always uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer Control for hosting HTML content inside SAP GUI, but nowadays Internet Explorer has several disadvantages: It proved very difficult to overwrite all these elements and until today some very minor issues are remaining which are listed in this SAP Note. Some of these elements do not allow changing their background color – they simply expect that the background is bright (except when High Contrast themes are used in Windows).
If you are using this kind of content, you should migrate this to new HTML standards. Web content which is not compatible with Microsoft Edge / Google Chrome is obviously not compatible with the new HTML Control. However, once installed, you can select “Edge (based on Chromium)” via a setting in SAP GUI options dialog:SAP GUI Options Dialog Setting for WebView2Once the setting is activated, the HTML Control will use the WebView2 Control and therefore offer a modern browsing experience with all the advantages of a current browser:The HTML Control based on Edge behaves like the HTML Control based on Internet Explorer with some technical differences: Updates to the component are then received via the regular Microsoft channels.Since the HTML Control based on WebView2 is very new and presently has some functional restrictions (see below), we decided to keep the Internet Explorer Control as the default browser control in SAP GUI for Windows for now. To use the new version of the HTML Control, you need to install the Microsoft WebView2 control ( ) separately.

For other monitors we let the operating system scale the SAP GUI window. See also SAP Note 2724656.SAP GUI Installation showing the component for getting the 64bit RFC controlsUp to release 7.60 SAP GUI supports scaling using the scaling settings of the primary monitor only. To benefit from this, select the appropriate installation component to be part of your installation package. With this, scripts using these controls can also be run from 64bit processes like Microsoft Office 64bit.
SAP Note 2985351 contains further information on this topic.Another frequent issue in the context of using SAP GUI on devices with high resolutions is an incorrect size of cells in splitter containers. The feature can be activated for Belize and Quartz themes if a sufficiently new Windows version is used via this setting:SAP GUI Setting for activating Multi Monitor ScalingMulti Monitor Scaling is an extremely complex topic that required a multitude of changes in SAP GUI and that will certainly require further changes – the topic may also require adjustments in external ActiveX components that you embed in SAP GUI. See SAP Note 2541592 for more information.As of release 7.70 multi-monitor scaling can be activated in the SAP GUI options dialog so that the issues with multiple monitor setups using different scaling settings are solved. In case of SAP Business Client this just leads to a blurry display of SAP GUI, but when embedded in Microsoft Internet Explorer the dimensions of SAP GUI inside Internet Explorer are determined incorrectly.
