1. Scope of SAPConsole
1.1 Support for text based Devices
For text-based devices unable to take advantage of GUI interfaces, SAPConsole can be used to
translate interface information into text screens. These devices are typically RF (radio frequency)
devices, such as bar-code scanners or character-cell terminals. This capability enables an even
greater number of real-time users to take advantage of the benefits of a direct wireless
connection. Appropriate for fast-moving processes in the supply chain where short queries,
mobile data entry, or location-based applications utilizing WLAN technology are needed, this
connection mode requires no synchronization and offers users in the field the quickest way to
access enterprise-level data and functionality. SAPConsole has been delivered as part of SAPGui
since 4.6B, but delivery has recently been decoupled from SAPGui. See Note 1017827 for
current information on the delivery of SAPConsole.
supply chain execution. With long life expectancies, these devices should remain in use in
industrial environments for the next 5 - 10 years. To support these devices moving forward, SAP
will continue to support SAPConsole for Text-based devices.
For browser-capable devices, WebSAPConsole will be replaced with the ITSMobile Solution.
WebSAPConsole will no longer be functional beginning with NetWeaver 7.1.
