How to provide Offline/disconnected SAP functionality?

A client has SAP ERP deployed at a single location with users accessing the SAP system from multiple sites - a fairly common situation but in this case they have significant communication problems between the various sites and the SAP system. As a result, they experience frequent outages which are obviously not acceptable. They are looking to resolve this problem and I am looking for ideas/comments on possible approaches.
What they need is offline or disconnected SAP functionality at each user location that can automatically synchronize with the main SAP system whenever connectivity is available. Building such a functionality from scratch for this client is obviously not a cost-effective solution. So, I am looking for off-the-shelf products that might help solve the problem - a couple of possibilities that I ran into that seem worthy of further investigation are -
SAP Solutions for Mobile Business - need to look at this more to understand how seamless you can make the online/offline modes from a user perspective.
SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe - this option looks less appealing as the online/offline modes are dramatically different from a user perspective
A key point is that the client is initially looking to make functionality from the SD, MM, and FI modules available in an offline mode.
I still have not googled adequately for other possible alternatives and will be doing so as well. However, I was wondering if there are any suggestions from SAP professionals on what may be good options for me to look at.

Hi Vivek,
SAP Solutions for Mobile Business enables enterprises to mobilize their existing investment through a universal platform and ready-made scenarios to all popular devices in both connected and disconnected environments.
MI (Mobile Infrastructure) can be a good solution to the Business needs.
SAP MOBILE SOLUTIONS:
mySAP PLM -
Mobile Asset Management
mySAP SRM-----Mobile Procurement
mySAP SCM-----Mobile time and travel.
SAP NetWeaver--Mobile BI,Mobile Warehouse Management.
mySAP CRM------Field Service,Field Sales,Mobile Direct Store Delivery.
Hope this information is helpful to some extent.

How can I use Seeburger java functions on SAP XI's user defined functions?

Hi All,
As my title implies; how can I use Seeburger java functions on SAP XI's user defined functions? I've tried searching over the net in tutorials regarding this topic but I failed to find one; can someone provide me information regarding my question? thanks very much.
best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike !
You should check your documentation about which java classes you need to reference in the "import" section of your UDF. And also deploy the java classes into the java stack or include them as a imported archive in integration repository...it should be stated in the seeburger documentation.
What kind of functions are you trying to use?

You can get to it using frontend class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES if you know the host name and have the correct permissions, for example, this program works great for me in my system.
report zrich_0001 .
data: ifiletable type filetable.
data: xfiletable like line of ifiletable.
data: rc type i.
parameters: p_file1 type localfile default'\sapprdusr'.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file1.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

*    WINDOW_TITLE            =
*    DEFAULT_EXTENSION       =
*    DEFAULT_FILENAME        =

     INITIAL_DIRECTORY       = '\sapprdusr'
*    MULTISELECTION          =
changing
    file_table              = ifiletable
    rc                      = rc
*    USER_ACTION             =
EXCEPTIONS
    FILE_OPEN_DIALOG_FAILED = 1
    CNTL_ERROR              = 2
    ERROR_NO_GUI            = 3
    others                  = 4.
read table ifiletable into xfiletable index 1.
if sy-subrc = 0.
p_file1 = xfiletable-FILENAME.
endif.

How to log input parameters for Function Modules?

Hi,
I need to create a Logging system to trace input parameters for function modules.
The log functionality could be done by developing a class method or a function module (For example 'write_log'), and calling it within each function module that I want to log. The 'write_log' code should be independent from the interface of the Function Module that I want to log.
For example, I'd like to write a function/class method that can log both these functions modules:
Function DummyA
 Input parameters: A1 type char10, A2 type char10.
Function DummyB
 Input parameters: B1 type char20, B2 type char20, B3 type char20, B4 type Z_MYSTRUCTURE
Now the questions...
- Is there a "standard SAP" function that provide this functionality?
- If not, is there a system variable in which I can access runtime all parameters name, type and value for a particular function module?
- If not, how can I loop at Input parameters in a way that is independent from the function module interface?
Thank you in advance for helping!

check this sample code. here i am capturing only parameters (import) values. you can extend this to capture tables, changin, etc.

How To... Execute Planning Functions and Sequences from MS Office Ribbon

Dear all,
I am working with a SAP how to paper, which is called:
How To... Execute Planning Functions and Sequences from MS Office Ribbon.
It is working absolutely fine and I am pretty satisfied, but as you probably know "Control the visibility of a button based on the visibility of a related crosstab: the button just disappears once the related crosstab is not located on the active sheet."
This means, when I insert different queries in different crosstabs, only one crosstab will have my own created ribbon. Is it also possible to set another specific ribbon with other buttons for another crosstab? Can I change the macro, included in the appendix of the how to paper, regarding this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Dominik Drebinger

Hey Martin,
thanks for your reply, but I solved the problem on my own. Unfortunately my colleague did not see that the crosstabs had to be defined differently.
Like this:
Label
Screentip
Msolmage name
Crosstab name
Copy Initial Aligned
Copy Initial Aligned
CacheListData
SAPCrosstab1
Copy Initial Aligned
Copy Initial Aligned
CacheListData
SAPCrosstab3
Copy Initial Aligned
Copy Initial Aligned
CacheListData
SAPCrosstab5
The macro, provided by the HowTo, is therefore working perfectly fine.
Thanks though
Dominik

How to use Logical database in function module?

I will create a function module in HR.
but how to use Logical database in function module ? Logical database PNP always show screen.in function (RFC) code , it is a matter.

You cannot attach the LDB to the main program of the function group.
- So you may [SUBMIT|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=submit&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] a report which use the LDB and get back the data (export/import), by default in the syntax of SUBMIT the selection-screen will not be displayed
- Use [LDB_PROCESS|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?query=ldb_process&cat=sdn_all], fill a structured table for selection, and get data back in another table
- Use [HR function modules to read Infotypes|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=hrfunctionmodulestoread+Infotypes&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue].
