CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES hang up

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

I tried to get the client computer name when executing a program though WEB GUI. Inside the program I used the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES, method GET_COMPUTER_NAME to get client computer name. The problem is the program get hang forever everytime it executes the method GET_COMPUTER_NAME. When trying to debug, I found that it hangs at call screen 650 in function ITS_GET_COMPUTER_NAME when the method is called.

Anybody has any idea? Do I have to install Java since I heard tjhat we have to installed Java? I searched SAP notes including SDN but no solution has been found

I already tried to use methos GET_IP_ADDRESS and function RFC_IP_TO_HOST but the computer name returned simply does not match the client computer name for some unknown reason.

Thank you for you help

Well, since you are calling it through the web, the gui is not available; although I would expect it to dump or give a return code instead of hanging.

I don't know, but I wonder if this thread belongs in the Webdynpro forum. If so, do you want me to move it?

Hi Rob

No, this is nothing to do with WebDynpro. This is an application purely in Abap. Our clients in stores will execute this program through WEBGUI. Our boss do not want to install SAPGUI in their POS system since it's to heavy for a POS endpoint.

It's very strange since I saw pepople succeed to test it on WEbGui. If you have time please read the OSS note 893567, It seems that method GET_COMPUTER_NAME should work for WEBGUI

I'm looking into Javascript and something else, let you know if found a solution

Thanks gain

That note talks about the ITS. Is this an ITS application?
