SAP GUI History not getting saved

Issue:

SAP GUI History (backspace) for fields is not getting saved.

Pre-Requisites:

• – Close all your SAP sessions including your SAP logon pad

Resolution/Procedure:

• Go to Windows Start > All Programs > SAP Front End > SAP GUI Configuration (1)
• In your GUI Configuration options click on ‘Local Data’ folder (2) and then ‘History’ (3)
• Change history status to ‘OFF’ (4) and click on ‘Apply’ (7)
• Click on history status back to ‘ON’ (5) and click on ‘Apply’ (7)
• Click ‘Clear History’ (6) button and finally click ‘OK ’ (8) to close this window

• Now navigate to C:usersAppDataRoamingSAPSAP GUIHistory (9)
  • If you do not see AppData folder then you will have to enable show hidden folders in the windows folder option menu (https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7)
• Here you will find MDB file which is usually named ‘SAPHistory.mdb (10)
• Delete this file

Now this should take care of the history not getting saved. Reopen SAP GUI and try it out!
