If you get...

... when starting Webgui (after system logon) one of the possible explanations is that you have recently updated your system and are still trying to force Webgui to use Quirks mode instead of Standards (Edge) mode. Go to transaction SICF and select the service webgui, go to GUI Configuration...

... delete the SAP-IE parameter and save. Webgui should work again.

Hi Samuli,

We recently updated our KPL to version 320 and we are experiencing a similar issue:

One of our users is reporting similar error when using NWBC for HTML.

We have the parameter you mention turned off in SICF though.

Any idea of what could be causing this error?

Thanks and regards,

I believe that is a different error. Looks like a Unified Rendering issue to me. You may need to install Unified Rendering corrections. See Unified Rendering Notes - Which one to apply - Web Dynpro ABAP - SCN Wiki for details.

Hi Samuli,

Hi Laura,

from your screenshot - I believe the broswer been used is Chrome?

If YES then this is not a Quirks /Standards Mode issue. This only affects IE.

Using the Chrome Developer tool does it provide any further information on the issue?

Your Kernel Patch level 320 is for the 742 Kernel? Right?

Hi Laura,

I see that you are using NWBC/WEBGUI via Portal.

Could you please clarify about the SAP_BASIS of your backend system?

Is there a particular reason to have ~disconnectonclose 1 set in the GUI Configuration? Usually this is not needed.

Regards,

Cris

Hi Oisin,

Indeed - we are using Chrome and KPL 320 for kernel 742.

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the issue in test system. The screenshot attached to my message is from the user that reported it in production system. I'll try to get that information from the user and let you know how it goes.

Regards,

Laura

Hi Cristiano,

We are using both, Portal and NWBC for HTML, but our aim is to decommission the former.

We are on SAP_BASIS release 742 SP-level 4 (SAPKB74004).

Regarding Webgui service configuration, since I haven't configured it, I'm not aware of the reason behind having this parameter you mention in our config.

Thanks,

Laura
