Summary :
In the SAP Knowledge Warehouse, issues occur when re-editing information objects using SAP GUI or Knowledge Workbench if previous sessions were closed, leading to prolonged loading times. This problem emerges due to the obsolescence of the SAPWORKDIR as SAP GUI for Windows 7.20 transitions to a new system structure. The local work directory in the registry path is no longer utilized, being replaced with a directory that complies with newer Windows versions. For resolution, users must apply updates via Note Assistant or import the supporting package, establishing document paths in local user directories on Windows platforms, with no changes required for SAP GUI 7.10.
