SAP GUI FREEZE/HANGS WHEN RECORDING ACTIONS TAKE PLACE

[ando1692]

Hello there,

I am running an automation with Power Automate Desktop that automates the user interactions in sap gui (SAP GUI for windows 760 final release patch level 7).

After ~90 minutes running the automation the SAP GUI screen "freeze" and the automation can't do anything...it's really annoying.

I am using SAP Signature Theme. 

Anyone is familiar with this? any suggestion? thanks!

Are you using SAP GUI Scripting-commands for your automation-task?

We get a similar behaviour, completely independent of the SAP GUI version. This happens under 7.60, 7.70 and 8.00. Mostly after a longer runtime, but also after just a few records.

Yes indeed! I am using some SAP GUI scripting VBS snippets (to read the status bar) and Power Automate Desktop UI interactions commands

The reason seems to be that a command is sent via GUI scripting, whereupon a popup window should open. However, SAP does not send this window. As a result, the corresponding command is regarded by SAP as not-yet-processed and the subsequent scripting command can then not be processed.

Can you find out where your script gets stuck and whether this also happens with you in connection with a pop-up window?

Hi @rspecht! No, it does not happen in the same place nor has anything to do with a popup, sorry

Hi @zfiori! thanks a lot for the answer. What you sent me does not solve my issue (or I do not know where to look). Could you elaborate your answer a bit? Thanks!!
