Summary :
SAP GUI for Java lacks several features available in SAP GUI for Windows. Key differences include the absence of Office Integration for embedding or automating Office documents directly within the GUI, which is only possible through document downloads. Additionally, specific ActiveX controls integrated into the Windows version, like SAPscript and the new ABA editor, are unavailable. Other limitations include unsupported search help control, missing graphical screen painter, the exclusion of Gantt and Net graphics controls, and lack of certain add-ons such as Graphics Add-ons and GMUX. Usage of external tools is required for some functionalities like the Archive Link Viewer, and only the "G" method is supported for printing. Localization support and bidirectional text input/output features for certain languages are also missing, impacting the application's versatility in multi-language environments. For transaction compatibility, refer to transaction SE93, and check the platform availability matrix for specific SAP product requirements.
