    Error Message

    VPKGUI010: Controls not available at this time


    Cause

    This error typically occurs when the SAP GUI is unable to load or display certain ActiveX controls or GUI controls required by the application. The reasons can include:

    • Missing or corrupted SAP GUI components: The required controls (ActiveX controls or DLLs) are not installed or are corrupted on the client machine.
    • Security settings or restrictions: Windows security settings, antivirus, or firewall may block the loading of ActiveX controls.
    • SAP GUI version mismatch: The SAP GUI version might be outdated or incompatible with the SAP server or the specific transaction.
    • User permissions: Insufficient permissions to load or execute ActiveX controls.
    • Network or system issues: Temporary network glitches or system resource limitations.
    • 32-bit vs 64-bit conflicts: Using a 64-bit SAP GUI with controls that are only available in 32-bit or vice versa.

    Solution

    1. Check SAP GUI Installation

      • Ensure that the SAP GUI is properly installed and updated to the latest version recommended by SAP.
      • Reinstall or repair the SAP GUI installation to restore missing or corrupted controls.
    2. Verify ActiveX Controls

      • Make sure that ActiveX controls are enabled in Internet Explorer (or the browser used by SAP GUI).
      • Check Windows security settings to allow ActiveX controls to run.
      • If using SAP GUI for Windows, ensure that the required DLLs and controls are registered correctly.
    3. Run SAP GUI as Administrator

      • Try running SAP GUI with elevated privileges to rule out permission issues.
    4. Check Antivirus/Firewall Settings

      • Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall to see if they are blocking the controls.
      • Add SAP GUI and related executables to the whitelist/exclusion list.
    5. Clear SAP GUI Cache

      • Delete the SAP GUI cache files located in %APPDATA%\SAP\Common or %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common.
      • Restart SAP GUI after clearing cache.
    6. Check for 32-bit vs 64-bit Compatibility

      • Ensure that the SAP GUI version matches the system architecture and that all required controls are compatible.
    7. Update Windows and SAP GUI Components

      • Install the latest Windows updates and SAP GUI patches.
    8. Contact SAP Support

      • If the problem persists, check SAP Notes for any known issues related to VPKGUI010.
