Ranorex freeze by using SAP

Hi, I have a problem with freezing by using Ranorex and SAP.
If the User of the Windows and SAP are different and both logged in, Ranorex freeze ever when the SAP window is not opened and I trying to use the TRACK function or try to record. Only about the Task manager I can close Ranorex. If the User are same, execute of Recorded or Scripted Program freeze after the file in SAP is opened and the SAP window close automatically. During this Freeze I can use all Programs, can click in Ranorex or other programs, only the executed script don’t runs. If I open the SAP window manually, it again begin to works. There are no error messages.
Sry for my bad English. 
Ranorex version: 8.0.1
Windows 7

Was this working for you before or has this never worked? Are you getting an SAP technology limitation? How are you executing the test? (CI pipeline / TFS / Jenkins / from the desktop / etc.) It would be very helpful if you could include a Ranorex snapshot (I know this may not be possible with your current issue): https://www.ranorex.com/support/user-gu ... pshot.html

And if you have not already seen it, the SAP user guide section: https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/int ... lications/

I execute the test directly from Ranorex and it never worked for me and my team don't know this problem, because its a first try in this direction. I will ask my team if there are any limitation on SAP but i think it isn't. I dont know how the Snapshot can help you in this problem, because the Ranorex execute just freeze and there are no erros or some else but I will see what can I do to show you the problem. Tomorrow I'm on work and will send you somethink.

PS: Settings for SAP are like in the description

In this picture you see that the test don't stop, if i don't open the SAP window manually and I don't get any report as long it runs. Image
After the manually intervention I get a standard report that the execute wasn't correctly.

Hi ChrisN,

Thank you for reaching out to us in regards to your issue.

Do you know if your SAP application has been configured for automation? If needed, please review the SAP section of our user guide. Are you able to run both the SAP application and Ranorex Studio with invoked administrator rights (right click --> Run as administrator)?

I'm also seeing a technology limitation in your report for the process 'saplogon' with a pid of '5348'. Are you able to provide the full warning message from your report? It very well may be related to the core issue. The warning in the report provides a link to general troubleshooting steps, have you been able to give these a try? Please find the troubleshooting steps in the General Troubleshooting section of our User Guide.

I hope this helps and I look forward to hearing from you!

Regards,

Jon

Hi Jon,
thank you very much for your answer but what you have noticed('saplogon' with a pid of '5348') is not a Problem, it’s a symptom. To stop the freeze of Ranorex I must open the SAP window manually, if it's opened I can't use the PCT-Creo window, it's normally. Ranorex Register this as a possible Error but it’s OK. The problem comes on in Administrator and usually User. SAP Applications are OK.
