Reason and Prerequisites

Solution

New features in SAP GUI for Windows 7.30 Patchlevel 1 (see note

1053737 for expected shipment dates):

o Caching of server SAP Logon configuration files: When using server

based SAP Logon configuration files (see the SAP GUI Administration

Guide) a new feature allows to cache the latest version of these

files locally. In case of connectivity issues to the server the

configuration files will be taken from the cache allowing users to

proceed with their work (see SAP note 1426178).

o SAP Logon language as default language on the logon screens: The

language defined in SAP Logon can be used as the default languagefor the texts on the logon screens and is automatically selected in

the "Logon Language" field. Prerequisite for using this feature is

a new SAP Kernel version. More information can be found in SAP note

1727111.

o Custom Colors for SAP Signature Design: It is possible to define

own "Hue Shifts" for SAP Signature Design resulting in more color

templates to be used for various systems. This feature is only

available as of Windows 7 (see SAP note 1740921 for more

information).

New features in SAP GUI for Windows 7.30 (shipped on 26th of June

2012):

Support:

o Longer lifetime: SAP GUI for Windows 7.30 is build with VisualStudio 2010 (which is supported until July 2015) - therefore SAP

secure or not (indicated by a lock icon in the SAP GUI status bar).

Customization

o Branding: Administrators can add a logo in the title bar of SAPSignature design to allow customer specific branding on SAP GUI

screens.

o Improved customization of SAP GUI during theinstallation: The general rule is that HKCU has precedence overHKLM configurations. Therefore the administrator can consistently

use HKLM to distribute default values.

o Customizable permissions in the SAP GUI options dialog:An administrator can define which sections / values can be changed

by the users and which ones cannot.

o Hide unwanted SAP Logon view modes: The administrator can

hide the buttons for any of the view modes in SAP Logon (Tree View,Explorer View or List View). See SAP Note 1710864 for more

information.

Internationalization Support

o Improved RTL version of Textedit Control: A version of theTextedit Control that is better suited to RTL (right to left)

languages like Hebrew and Arabic has been developed.

Installation

o Reparation of Front-end software installations using NWSAPSetup: "NWSAPSetup /repair" checks for discrepancies infiles, services, registry-keys, and other artifacts deployed using

NWSAPSetup and repairs the installation of SAP front-end components

based on the outcome of these checks.

Documentation

o SAP GUI for Windows 7.30 is delivered with an SAP GUI

administration guide that describes how to configure and administer

SAP GUI for Windows.

Removed Features

o SAP Logon based update: The SAP Logon based update mechanism(when starting SAP Logon SAP GUI checks for updates on the

installation source and applies the updates) has been removed,
