Users accessing SAP via a Macintosh will need to perform an update procedure to be able to access the application. A problem accessing SAP GUI via the Mac began April 1. The issue totally prevents users from accessing SAP via a Mac.
To fix the issue, SAP has released a new version of the SAP GUI (7.40 release 1).
In order to make this conversion to the new GUI users will need to perform two activities:
1. Validate the Java applet plug-in is enable and you’ve updated to the latest version (Java 8 Update 40).
2. Beginning April 2nd, the GUI needs to be updated.
A few important notes about the new release:
· Firefox is the preferred browser for the SAP MAC GUI interface. Please note, Safari, regardless of the JAVA version, will work for all Firefly’s Employee Self Service interaction.
· Basic functionality is still the same but you will notice a difference in the icons on this new release.
