  SAP Error Message:
  W3_TOOL513: The ITSmobile Visual Editor is supported only in SAP GUI for Windows
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the ITSmobile Visual Editor is being accessed or launched in an environment that is not SAP GUI for Windows. The ITSmobile Visual Editor is a tool used to design and edit ITS (Internet Transaction Server) mobile templates and screens, and it requires the full SAP GUI for Windows client to function properly.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:  
  
  Trying to open the ITSmobile Visual Editor in SAP GUI for Java or SAP GUI for HTML (Web GUI).  
  Attempting to use the editor on a non-Windows platform or via a remote desktop session that does not support the required components.  
  Using a thin client or browser-based access instead of the full SAP GUI for Windows.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, ensure the following:
  
  
  Use SAP GUI for Windows:
