ITS Mobile Screen Sizing: Motorola MC9090

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I've seen many posts about this topic and haven't been able to get an exact answer.  I have built a few custom transactions and have some standard SAP transactions of format 16x20ITS/16x20.  These look great in SAP GUI, but when generating templates for them using "Mobile Devices (No HTML tables)" generating style, they look vastly different and are requiring me to scroll on the RF device.  Ultimately, I would like to adjust the individual HTML screens to allow them to properly fit the device.  Below are the options I've seen, and the questions I have with each option.  If you have any insight on the subject, please advise.  Scrolling on an RF gun isn't a viable solution.

1. ITS Mobile Visual Editor.  This looks to be the exact solution to my issue, but according to SNOTE 1818662, it requires a SP upgrade.  As this can be a tedious process at my company, we are looking to this as a last resort.    We are currently running ECC EHP5.  SAP_BASIS: SAPKB70209.  (Reference: ITSmobile Visual Editor - Wiki - SCN Wiki ).  Is it possible to use the ITS Mobile Visual Editor without a support pack upgrade?
2. Change the MOBILE.CSS style sheet.  This also would be a good solution.  I've copied MOBILE.CSS from ITSMOBILE to my Z_Service with a difference name.  I've added ~itsmobileCssInclude to my gui configuration to point to my new .css file.  I plan on re-generating all my templates.  The problem is, I don't know where in this file to "hard code" the width and height of the screen. (Reference: ).  Where in this file can I adjust the total height and width?
3. 16x20ITS Screen Size:  I've performed this and have had mixed results with the standard SAP delivered transactions.  This doesn't help the custom transactions  (Reference:   ). 
4. I've also changed the ~ITSMOBILEUNITS to PX and tested.  I know this changes the width, but does nothing with the height.

GUI Configuration:

Thanks,

Lane

Hi Lane,

Option 1 is the best and easiest option.

Option 2 - one would need to manually adjust the HTML templates of the screens in question (se80) rather than change the *.css files.

Option 3 - Yes a solution, I presume you mean you are adjusting the screen size using the screen painter before generating the templates?

Option 4 is for making minor adjustment with the fonts. With the parameters:

  ~itsmobileElemFactor

  ~itsmobileElemUnits

See also note: 1316326 - ITSmobile: HTML element size is independent of font size

(this only works for Template Generation style: ITSGENMOBILE4 ) For generating style "Mobile Devices (Without HTML Tables)"  Comment in Template: STYLE: MOBILE4

Hi Oisin,

Thank you very much for the timely response.

1. Are there any SNOTES I can install to get the visual editor option and avoid any SP upgrade?  If there isn't a workaround, I think I can use this as a justification for a system upgrade.
2. Do you have any insight on how to adjust the HTML templates or have a link I can reference?  I know very little about HTML coding and this appears to be my best bet to avoid upgrades.

Thanks,

Lane

Hi Oisin,

I was afraid of that, just needed someone else to tell me.  Thanks for the information.

Thanks,

Hi Lane Dietmeier

For point no 2: in order to adjust the HTML templates to remove the scroll bars, you can do so by adjusting in the CSS file, by defining the pixel height and width of the Body tag or other table tags. For detailed explanation please see blog : ITS templates – Styles, Themes and Legibility (MIME Repository).

And also refer these threads:

ITS Mobile and Tx LM01, LM02... and this one : ITS Mobile Login Screen size on Motorola MC9190

Please let me know in case of any questions.

Regards.
