SAP GUI Support for tcode OVTH

When a tcode is created you can select which SAP GUI it has support for from HTML, Java and the main Windows GUI you are probably most familiar with.
GUI for HTML is not selected
GUI for Java is not selected
GUI for Windows is not selected

SAPGUI for HTML
OVTH does not support the HTML web based GUI. The SAP GUI for HTML generates HTML pages for each screen of the SAP transaction so that it can be executed within a standard web browser. Please note there are technical restrictions and possible incompatibility issues with certain browsers which means some transaction functionality may not function correctly.

SAPGUI for Java
OVTH does not support the Java based GUI. The SAP GUI for Java support provides more controls than the SAP GUI for HTML, but requires a plug-in to be downloaded and installed on the users PC so is less popular than the SAP GUI for HTML.

SAPGUI for windows
OVTH does not support the Windows based GUI. Windows(WinGUI) support is the most popular option and transactions can be run under SAP GUI for Windows.
