Wireless LAN connection lost

Former Member

Hello!

We have this problem for quite a long time now: fork lifter using a wireless terminal pc are losing their connection to the wireless lan when driving through our company. What I figured out so far is that "roaming" isn´t working perfectly. If I run a ping for a few minutes, SAP GUI loses the connection as soon as two pings are missing. When the overall network connection is back after these two missing pings everything is working again, with the exception of SAP GUI. Windows is working, network is working, Ping is working, only SAP GUI has lost the entire session. Why is SAP GUI so ****?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your answer! We haven´t used a browser-based solution yet. Question is if it is still possible to add SAP Mobile to our existing system or if this is too complicated and too expensive to upgrade to this solution. Right now we are in phase 5 "optimizing"...

Hello,

I believe you should be able to integrate SAP Mobile without any additional licensing costs.

If you are using 4.7, I would recommend additional 64 bit windows servers for your external ITS servers.

If you are using ECC 6.0, than you will not require additional servers since ITS is built in. You might also require an ABAP developer to adjust screens for custom transactions if the HTML functions do not translate as you expected. If you can wait until Tech Ed 2009 this year, I believe there will be a presentation on an SAP Mobile deployment.

Hello!

Thanks for the links! Unfortunately the download link is not working for SAP GUI for HTML/ITS...

Hello,

I have a SAP GUI for HTML running now But the forklift driver is complaining a bit about the overall worse programm performance.... he is scanning barcodes. With standard SAP GUI he was able to scan 2 barcodes a seconds. Now he needs to wait 2-3 seconds between two scans. I think this is because the browser is handling the requests different and sends out all data after every single click or scan. SAP GUI seems to wait a bit and lets the input work first, then later sends all commands within a paket. Hard to explain... but: is there a way to optimize the HTML GUI?

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

The operating system informs the SAP GUI that it is no longer connected. That is why you get the pop-up message WSAECONNREST:connection reset by peer. Note that it is possible that the users SAP sessions can still be alive on server until the session is killed by the profile parameters disp/keepalive and rdisp/keepalive_timeout. The SAP GUI as you stated is not tolerant for IP drops. I would recommend you use SAP Mobile which uses stateless connections through a browser or SAP Console that uses Telnet. That way you can enter a dead zone without losing your connections for RF and Fork-lift units.
