• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCWN184 - Browser started ?

  The SAP error message SCWN184, which states "Browser started," typically indicates that the SAP system is attempting to launch a web browser for a specific action, such as displaying a report or accessing a web-based application. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the system is trying to open a browser window.
  Cause:
  
  Web-Based Functionality: The action you are trying to perform requires a web browser to display content, such as a report or a web application.
  Browser Configuration: The SAP GUI may not be properly configured to open the default web browser, or there may be issues with the browser itself.
  Pop-up Blockers: If a pop-up blocker is enabled in your browser, it may prevent the browser from opening as expected.

  Check Browser Settings: Ensure that your default web browser is correctly set up in your operating system. You can do this by checking the default applications settings.
  Browser Compatibility: Make sure that the browser you are using is compatible with the SAP application you are trying to access. Some SAP functionalities may work better with specific browsers.

  SAP GUI Options > HTTP Settings > Browser. Ensure that the correct browser is selected.
  
  
  Update Browser: Ensure that your web browser is up to date, as older versions may not support certain functionalities.
  Check Network Settings: If you are working in a corporate environment, ensure that there are no network restrictions or firewall settings that might prevent the browser from launching.
