Clarification on SAP's mobility platform

Good day, everyone!
I'm just new to SAP and I'm hoping someone can help clarify. I'm struggling how best to position SAP (Web) Console against ITS / ITSMobile.
I understand that until SAP Gui 6.4, SAP Console is shipped with SAP Gui. And after that the installation can be done separately. Now, what I can't figure out is that after 6.4 is SAP Console still part of SAP Gui or does it now packaged with SAP Mobile infrastructure.
Also, I have a notion that SAP Console may be used along side ITS (either standalone or integrated). Is this correct? Or does ITS/ ITSMobile offers an alternative to SAP Console.
Also if you can point me where I can get architecture diagrams for SAP (Web) Console, I believe that will help further clarify. I was able to view a lot of information for ITS so I'm somewhat familiar with the architecture for it.
Thanks and I'm looking forward to everyone's inputs!

Hi Allan,
SAP NetWeaver Mobile comprises three mobile client technologies to enable standardized mobile business solutions as well as customer-specific developments. These clients are optimized for specific user roles and target devices.
1. Mobile Java client, requires Mobile Infrastructure as a middlware system u2013 Optimized for personal digital assisted (PDA) or handheld devices that display offline (or so called occasionally connected) applications, such as mobile asset management
2. Mobile .NET client, utilises its own CRM middlware system u2013 Designed for Microsoft Windows-based devices that display occasionally connected CRM field applications with a rich function set targeting laptops
3. Mobile browser client,also known as SAP webConsole u2013 Designed for mobile devices that are always connected to a Web server using a technology such as WAP, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and GPRS. Commonly used for warehouse applications
They are not alternative but rather complimentary to each as they target different areas. Architecturally they are very different.

Clarification on SAP Mobile Platform 3.0

Dear SAP Mobility Experts,
Hope you are doing great, and I am seeking your help here.
We are just to start a new project for one of our customer on SMP3.0 and Mobiliser5.1. During the preparation phase of my project I was just going through some of the literature to propose the correct system landscape architecture to the customer and have found some challenges, I am hoping you guys will be able to clarify them to me.
These challenges are basically due to the SAP Note# 1901408 - SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 Limitations, I am sure SAP must have resolved some of these challenges, can you please point me to the correction notes if available of just confirm them to me.
Relay Server is not supported; only reverse proxy is currently supported: Can I utilize any reverse proxy including the physical one which comes from Cisco & Citrix, or only apache based proxies are supported.
Clustering and high availability are not supported: My Customer is looking forward to have active HA is this still not supported?
Also as per my understanding of the platform 3.0 we can have the Mobiliser component as an add-on on the same server, is my understanding correct, if so then as far as I am aware Mobiliser is supported only on the Linux platform, has the same been extended to the windows or I need to install the platform itself on the Linux platform.
Thanks for your support.
Best Regards,
Vishal Jain

Dear Midhun,
Thanks for your quick and informative response..
Can you please also let me know about SAP Mobiliser Platform 5.1. Do we need to install it separately or it's integrated with SMP 3.0.
if its needs to be installed separately than please let me know weather its strictly should be on Linux or it can be on Windows as well.
Best Regards,
Vishal Jain

Sap Mobile platform Tutorialst

Hello,
          I need to consume the sap backend in android,this can be possible by using the "SAP Mobile Platform and SAPR3<>NetWeaverGateway<>SUP-ODP<>RelayServer<>Device".I already registered with the open sap, i have done the self study for the course SAP mobile Solution Development for Enterprise,so now i got some information on it i need to learn it very depth.

     2.Open Sap will soon start any training courses on sap mobile platform ?
Thanks in advance sorry for bad english
Regards,
Navaneeth prodhutur

The architecture you given uses Odata exposed from NW gateway and SMP will be an online data proxy. Relay server can be used for more security. To know how to develop android apps in this architecture follow this,SyBooks Online
Other types of applications that you can develop using SMP include Object API based (as Jitendra mentioned, Developing SAP Android Mobile app from scratch), HWC apps (HWC mobile app development for dummies), apps using third party frameworks (http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01942.0230/doc/pdf/smp_tutorial_hybrid_app_package_devel…) and rest apis (http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01926.0230/doc/pdf/smp_devguide_rest_api_applications.pd…).

Problem trying to download SAP Mobile Platform SDK - Developer Edition

Dear All,
when i try to go on:
SAP Mobile Platform Developer Center
and I click on:
Download SAP Mobile Platform SDK - Developer Edition
The system is returning to me:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /sap/cp/ui/resources/store/html/SolutionDetails.html on this server.
What I have to do?
Thanks

This download link is related to SAP Store and I guess there is some issue with SAP Store now. (store.sap.com) .
Anyways the link might provide access to only SDK of SMP 3.0 , but to develop mobile applications on SMP both the Runtime and SDK are to be installed and only SDK is available to public.
If you have a valid S-User credentials you can download SMP from SAP Service Marketplace - Home
Softwares Donloads --> A-Z Index --> M -->SAP mobile Platform -- ? choose the version you are looking at (2.1 / 2.2 /2.3 )
SMP 3.0 is still in Rampup only available to limited registered partners
Which version of SMP you are looking to download?

SAP BusinessObject Mobile WebI Report Prompt Issue

Hi,
I have problem to view the Prompt value in Long Text for WebI report in my iPad. The SAP BusinessObject Mobile application is on version 5.1.12.
We are using BI Platform 4.1, and the WebI report is connected to Bex Query using BICS connection.
Below are the settings that I had done:
Setting of Characteristic in BW:
Setting of Characteristic – ZBPARTNER in BEx Query Designer:
Below are the report Prompt result in BI LaunchPad and BI Mobile:
Example data:
Business Partner ID 123 has description in Long Text (DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S) and Short Text (DO NOT USE - KOC).
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in WebI is showing Long Text as expected.
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC ALLIANZ SIGORTA A.S".
Business Partner (on top of ZBPARTNER) in Mobile Apps is showing Short Text:
For example, you can see the long text "DO NOT USE - KOC".
I need the Prompt value is the BusinessObject Mobile to be display with Long Text, but I cannot find any configuration to achieve this.
Is anyone encounter similar issue and can provide me some suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Edison Wang

Thumbnails not displaying in SAP BI Mobile app

Hello all,
I have published a Design Studio dashboard to the SAP BI App on Ipad and it's all working fine.
However, I haven't managed to customise an image to be displayed as Thumbnail when displaying all reports in the 'Tile Mode' (as opposed to the 'List Mode')
According to the Mobile App administration guide, I have added the image URL to the Keywords section in the document's properties but it has had no effect on the view (It just shows the tile as an empty white square).
Please see below the details of the environment:
SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Version 14.1.2.1121
SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio 1.2
SAP BusinessObjects Mobile App for IPad Version 5.1.8
iPad iOs 7.1
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated

Difference between SAP Netweaver PI and SAP Netweaver Mobile and SAP DOE

HI,
I am learning Sybase Unwired Platform and SAP PI 7.1. I was going through SUP and SAP configuration documentation. I am really confused at one point. Does this SAP Netweaver PI 7.1 and SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1 are same?. What is these DOE connector? is these DOE and SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1are same? .
I have gone through various documents. but still i am very much confused. I am very much new to this platforms.
Can any one please help me in above topics.

Yes latest version is Netweaver mobile 7.1. and in one of the documentation of Netweaver 7.3 it is said that,
to download the non-ABAP software that is relevant for SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.3.
http://service.sap.com/swdc --> Downloads --> Support Packages and Patches --> Support Packages and Patched u2014 Entry by Application Group --> SAP NetWeaver and complementary products --> SAP NETWEAVER MOBILE --> SAP NETWEAVER MOBILE 7.3 --> Entry by Component --> Mobile Client --> NW MOBILE CLIENT SETUP 7.3 .
Actually my problem is, I am unable to get DOE Setup.exe file. I am able to download only .SAR file. If i configure SUP with SAP Netweaver mobile 7.1. i need to install DOE seperatly.
In one of the forum, it is said that
if we want to use CRM mobile, we need the following landscape to deploy it (for example):
1.) ECC Backend (your CRM Backend, off course you need this)
2.) Netweaver Mobile 7.3 (This is the DOE part, including ESDMA)
3.) Sybase SUP
Well, you need to connect SUP and NWM7.1 together. To do this you need to install a DOE-Connector in Sybase. The NWM7.3 contains the counter part to DOE-C which is the ESDMA stuff. This is now included in NWM7.3. If you run still NWM7.1 you need to install that piece of connector as a separate add on.
This is where i got confused and was searching for NWM7.3.
Thanks

SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1 is a Ramp-up version?

Hi,
I'm learning SAP Netweaver Mobile technology and I'm a little confused with that subject.
There are a lot of information, but when I read about it I found that:
1) DOE Data Orchestration Engine (the new name of MI server) runs on SAP Netweaver ABAP 7.1 ... but there isn't a such ABAP AS version currently! The latest is SAP Netweaver AS 7.0, isn't? So .. it's general available this version or it will be available later?
2) Can I configure SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1 on SAP Netweaver AS ABAP 7.0?
Thanks for any answer
Investiga

Hi,
Just for the sake of clarity,
1. Its not a new name for MI(NW MI 7.0) nor its a new version of MI. NW Mobile 7.10 also called as the Data Orchestration Engine(DOE) is altogether a new platform that is slated to be the successor of MI 7.0. You should be able to see the NW Mobile 7.10 installation in the SAP service market place and its part of SAP_BASIS 7.10 packaging. As Siva mentioned in the above reply, its out of ramp-up and is in general availability for anyone.
2. I'm not sure if both MI 7.0 & MI 7.10 can be configured on the same AS as the version of SAP_BASIS differs. Ideally you should have a dedicated landscape(D-Q-P) for 7.10.
Best regards,
Vinodh.

SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.1

Hi All,
My name is Malinda and im totally new to SAP's Mobile Side. What i want to know is how or what do you need for to setup and run SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1?, where does the Data Orchestration Engine & Mobile Administrator come? are these components of Netweaver AS? and what is the composition environment and Netweaver developer studio is needed for. I just need a good clarification because im to implement this for my company. Thank You
Malinda Wellawa

Hi Malinda,
the whole Netweaver Mobile 7.1 comes as its own software package. It is a real product which sits on top of other components (like Netweaver CE for the mobile designtime or the AS ABAP for the DOE).
In order to install Netweaver Mobile there are basically two options. The right one depends on your case:
- You can download the Netweaver Mobile 7.1 trial version from sdn. It contains the designtime and client runtime components. But it excludes the DOE in order to keep the setup for trial simple. It is available here (including a set of documentation):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0846cb5-59ec-2a10-46a2-cff9cd9b8fc3
- In order to get the DOE as well, you have to officially register for the Netweaver Mobile 7.1 Ramp-Up. Once you have been accepted as a Ramp-Up customer, you can download the software packages from the service marketplace. Information about the Ramp-Up you can find here:
https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000695873&
If you decide to go for Ramp-Up, you have to create an online scoping:
https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000664532
Hope these answers are helpfull for you.

Sharing and displaying Excel and pdf documents in SAP BO Mobile

Hello all,
I have one quick question. Is it possible to share excel and pdf documents through SAP BO Mobile?
I tried it uploading documents to BO Launch pad and assigning them to Mobile category. I can't see them in my ipad. Is there another way to share these kind of files through SAP Mobile in mobile devices? and how?
Thanks.

No that won't do it. Because my users have their own excels which are not related to BO or BW platforms. They are entering data manually to excel spreadsheets and reporting. We just want to upload them to BO platform and let them share those files with other users.
I know I could create a webi report on top of excel, but we don't want to spend redoing the reports in excel.
Thanks though.

Mobile Platform Developer Center Missing Space Editors

SAP Mobile Platform Developer Center seems to have lost its Space Editors and I don't think I was the only Moderator. Can one of the Global Moderators take a look at it and let me know?
If this is indeed correct, I would suggest that Jan-Gerrit Groeneveld and/or I be added as Space Editor or we return the previous SEs to their roles. I can recruit a couple of additional Moderators for the space.
Thanks, Mike

Converting JavaFX based desktop app to mobile platforms

Hello all
I'm in the process of building a java desktop application using JavaFX and FXML as the front end code platform. However I'd like to be able to port this to mobile platforms with the least amount of code modifications, and was told that JavaFX would work for this. Does anyone have any advice on how this could be achieved ?

I would love to know this too.
Lots of info going around about mobile possibilities.
I do not have an answer, but I do have a point to start looking at.
I came across the following ORACLE blog written 2013-11-12.
Hopefully someone can explain it better or give easier steps to follow on how to achieve android compatibility as explained on this page.
To me it looks like you can actually run JAVAFX on android phones by using this.
If anyone understands this article then please write an easy to understand howto.
Would love to know how to incorporate this into Netbeans, but any other easy to understand way will work.
This will be a killer function for JAVAFX :
