HIEddie,
Thanksforyourgreatblogandhelpfulposting!Wemanagedtoconfigurewebgui.
WearefinallyabletologinandtransactinSAPusingInternetExporer.
We are also managed to login to SAP using Safari in an iPad/iPhone. However, SAP (webgui) is not
responding to any tcode entered in the command prompt or doubleclick of a menu in SAP Easy Access
screen.
Have you encountered a similar issue for WebGui in iPad, what setting that may have caused this
behaviour?Thanks,LLC
