Latest Webview2 Version 144.xxx causes problems with SAP GUI HTML control when using edge

[Bernd Welter]

Hi there,

recently I've been approached by multiple, independent partners / end customers who face issues in the map rendering of PTV map services: In the SAP TM frontend the map doesn't show properly. In the JavaScript console various resources seem to be "unavailable".

As different backends have been affected

• PTV xMap Server2 OnPremise
• PTV Developer Raster Maps API

I've been quite optimistic from scratch that the common factor is located outside our component but has a severe impact on users who rely on us.

After some investigation we spotted several mutual factors:

• All parties uses SaaS frontends of SAP TM
• Depending on the broswer the error occured:
  • Chrome: errors
  • Edge: errors
  • Firefox: ok

Magically these errors vanished in the last hours and maybe someone has patched the system in the background.

Nevertheless I'd like to share this article with you: Latest Webview2 Version 144.xxx causes problems with SAP GUI HTML control when using edge

Sounds like this is related to the story
