What's ITSmobileITSmobile is a SAP technology to connect mobile devices to a SAP system in order to run applications based on the widely used Dynpro programming model. ITSmobile replaces the Web SAPConsole which will be phased out with SAP NW 7.10. It is available for SAP systems based on SAP Netweaver 7.10, SAP Netweaver 7.0 and SAP Netweaver 2004. ITSmobile is an integrated part of SAP Netweaver and based on ITS. For SAP customers using older SAP releases with a Basis 4.6C and 6.20, ITSmobile is available in conjunction with ITS 6.20 standalone. Generate and Modify TemplatesDo you want to run a dynprobased application on a mobile device? And even make manual adjustments to fulfill your own special requirements? No problem - using the ITSmobile it only takes you three steps: You first need to create an internet service by generating the relevant templates. This whole procedure takes place in transaction SE80 where three different ITSMobile generation styles are offered. The recommendation is to use STYLE: MOBILE4. Review the following page which explains the three ITS Services required to use the three different ITSMobile generation styles: Getting to know ITSmobile by Checking out the Internet Services. Once you have successfully completed the generating, you only need to create an ICF service in the second step by using transaction SICF. The ICF service will link your Internet service with an HTTP access path. Now you can display your Internet Service in a browser - on a desktop PC or on a mobile device. If more functionality is required e.g. F-Keys or you don't like the standard design, take the third step. Make manual adjustments to the templates in the transaction SE80, or include a new CSS file with your own design. FeaturesBarcode ScanningITSmobile supports data input via 1D and 2D barcode scanning. Voice Enabling (pick by voice)ITSmobile supports voice enabling of ABAP/Dynpro based screens using the "Speech" property to send additional, speech related data, to the frontend/browser. Together with the new ITS XV Template generator, which generates XHTML+Voice based templates, it is possible to add speech in/output to your application. Voice enabled browsers, like Opera, will do the rest of the job. RFID (Radio-frequency identification)ITSmobile supports ABAP Property RFID which helps you to execute RFID operations on dynpro based screens using ITSmobile. The RFID property sends additional, rfid related data to the frontend. ITSmobile will deliver this data via javascript to your own device specific implementation for your specific rfid reader.

If I have both character and GUI based RF readers in my organisation. Do I need to develop dynpro both in SAPconsole as well as ITSmobile?
Or can I develop webdynpro screens in ITSmobile and they will be automatically converted for character based RF readers?
Thanks in advance,
Ganesh

no this is not true. Basically ITSmobile uses HTML to communicate to the front end. So basically you can use any device with a browser installed. However there are huge differences in performance that are related to the used operating system. The best results are currently seen with Windows CE 5.0 but I have also seen a device with Windows Pocket PC 2003 which ran very good and also I have seen pretty new Windows Mobile 5.0 devices which performed very poor. My recommendation would be that you before you buy any devices you talk to a consultant who is working in this area and ask him for his experiences or you ask your preferred vendor for a device to test with befoer you buy it.
I hope this helps you.

I work for Value Prototyping team of SAP Field Services and highly appreciate ITSmobile wiki, it really helps having linlks to ITSmobile content centralized here.
Please find questions I am frequently asked by customers and partners, perhaps you could consider adding them to wiki.
1) ITSmobile vs ABAP WebDynpro vs Java WebDynpro. Customer and partners often ask what is the difference here, having web-page with answer would be helpful. The question about ABAP WebDynpro support for mobile devices is also frequently asked, and there is OSS note for that, as per internal message 0120061532 0001508271 2010. Perhaps reference to this note could be added here?
2) What is needed to make ITSmobile screen looking nice and professional, how to adapt CSS to have better screen? One example would be helpfull
3) wiki http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Mobile+Devices+and+Browser advise to use industrial browser, to get all the functionality of the mobile device, it is highly recommended to use an industrial browser like PocketBrowser (Motorola/Symbol), IBrowser (Intermec) or NaurTech Browser (Naurtech Corp.). Could you please clarify what the industrialk browser is and what is meant by "all functionality"? To me is unclear what the industrial browser is, is it a must to use it and what exactly is missing if some other browser is used?
Thank you and kind regards,
srdjan

the statement
needs to be urgently changed to
This is an important information because everyone who is upgrading to e.g. ERP6.04 will be forced to change from WebSAPConsole to ITSmobile.
SAP Note 1070064 does have an outdated german version, that is mentioning the wrong "phased out"-release 7.1 as well.
The english version is correct!
Can you please confirm and update WIKI and SAPNote?
Best regards
