unlike SAP GUI (transactions are executed based on Dynpro technology),

​

SAP Fiori Launchpad can

  • run transactions in HTML version (means similar trx like in Backend system but HTML based)
  • Web Dynpro applications
  • SAPUI5 Apps

​

SAP GUI Clients are Local Installations

SAP Business Client for Desktop is a “Thick Client” and requires a Local Installation, therefore it provides more functionalities compared to the HTML Versions.

​

The advantages of SAP BC for Desktop re:

  • More functionality than the Thin Client HTML
  • RUns all SPA Technology side-by-side
  • Runs SAP GUI in its original Windows version
  • Uses SAP GUI Themes
  • Execute NWBC for HTML
  • Run SAP Fiori and SAP UI5 Apps with the SAP Fiori Launchpad embedded
