HH079 - Details

  • The SAP error message HH079, which states "You can switch to a 'better' network protocol," typically indicates that the current network protocol being used for communication between the SAP GUI and the SAP server is not optimal. This can lead to performance issues or connectivity problems.
    
    Cause: Network Protocol Mismatch: The SAP GUI may be using a less efficient network protocol (like TCP/IP) when a more efficient one (like RFC or HTTP) is available.
    Configuration Issues: The SAP system or the client may not be configured correctly to use the best available protocol. Network Environment: The network environment may have limitations or issues that prevent the use of a better protocol.
    Solution: Change Network Protocol in SAP GUI: Open the SAP GUI. Go to the "Options" menu. Navigate to "SAP Logon Options" or "Network" settings. Change the network protocol to a more efficient one (e.g., from TCP/IP to HTTP or RFC). Save the changes and restart the SAP GUI. Check SAP System
