Custom Application for Mobile

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am aware that there are standard scenarios offered by SAP for mobile like Mobile Sales, Service, Asset Management, Procurement and Direct Stores Delivery. In case we need to have a custom application to be built, do I still need to use Mobile Infrastructure? In case no, what are the alternatives that are available.

thanks

Hi,

SAP Web Application Server allows direct online access to Web Dynpro applications using mobile devices. As part of the SAP Web Application Server, Web Dynpro provides a development and runtime environment with which you can quickly and simply create professional user interfaces for desktop PCs or for mobile devices. An appropriate infrastructure and renderer classes are provided for developing mobile Web Dynpro applications for pocket PCs as well as for BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds.

For the development of mobile Web Dynpro applications, the application development therefore uses:

i) The same metadata model

ii) The same development environment

iii) The same functions provided by Web Dynpro - for example, personalization, connecting a back end, user management, and so on.

Web Dynpro applications for pocket PCs, BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds, and Nokia Series 80 devices are always online applications that run on the J2EE Engine and are displayed in the Web browser of these mobile devices.

There is a Wiki regarding web dynpro mobile in the following link

Hi, where do I do these Webdynpro developments? Is it in the backend or in the NWDS? Also understand that SAP provides MI development kit. What type of application do I develop using the MI development kit and for what scenarios?

Hi ,

You Do webdynpro development in NWDS itself.

SAP MDK is used to develop the Mobile solutions.

It speaks about the best practices and APis u can use to develop..smart sync/generic sync...or offline scenarios.

You can make custom applications using MDK.

its present in NWDS->menu->help->mobile development kit.

Akhil
