Web Dynpro Client for Windows 

Web Dynpro Client for Windows is only available as a Beta version. You can download it as an integral part of SAP GUI for Windows from Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com.

Purpose

Web Dynpro Client for Windows is a SAP front end for the Microsoft Windows operating system. It can be used in both a Web browser and the SAP GUI. You can use Web Dynpro Client for Windows to launch Web Dynpro applications available on a NetWeaver Application Server and to execute them there. Web Dynpro Client for Windows also enables you to call other Web addresses using an address bar, similar to in a browser, or open the source code of the XML files. Due to the SAP-supported concept of Unified Rendering, the visual representation of the Web Dynpro application in the Web Dynpro Client for Windows corresponds to the visual representation in a Web browser.

The advantages of using Web Dynpro Client for Windows are:

●      Fast server response times, thus providing high throughput
