SAP GUI for HTML 

Purpose

The SAP GUI for HTML dynamically emulates SAP transaction screens in a Web browser by automatically mapping SAP screen elements to HTML via the Internet Transaction Server (ITS).

Features

SAP GUI for HTML provides a convenient graphical user interface similar to Web browsers and HTML.

When you use SAP GUI for HTML and you have a standard Web browser, you can run SAP transactions. For each SAP system screen, the SAP GUI for HTML dynamically generates an HTML page with a layout similar to that in the SAP GUI for Windows.

Constraints

Because of the technical attributes of HTML or the Web browser, the use of SAP GUI for HTML is restricted as compared to the use of an SAP GUI for Windows. Controls with a lot of Windows-based technology may only be partially displayed. The following functions are not supported in SAP GUI for HTML:

• Drag and drop
  Drag and drop does not work in SAP GUI for HTML. The application provides equivalent keyboard operations for all mouse operations, including Drag and drop.
• SAP shortcuts
