Implementation effort for a Mobile Solution

We are in the very early stages of developing a business case to implement disconnected mobile solutions. Can anyone give me a ball-park estimate in hours to implement Mobile Asset Management with very little customization? Or how long it took your company to implement any of the Mobile Applications?
Thanks,
Bob

Hello Robert,
please have a look at the SDN Mobile Infrastructure "homepage" and select the implementation case studies from the e-learning iview. Maybe there you can get an impression about possible implementation efforts.

Bandwidth requirement for a Mobile solution

Hi
Is there any data that I can use to determine the bandwidth requirement needs for a mobile solution? (In a connected mode). Lets assume that we have only 1 user using only one app/screen - mobile sales order. For each sales order, what will be the bandwidth used? Assumption is that the screen is also loaded and data is also transmitted.
Thanks in advance

Update CSS stylesheet for ITS Mobile solution

Dear all,
for a mobile bar code scanner solution i generated the HTML templates for the LM transactions and published a new ITSMOBILE service. So far everything is working finde.
To fix some smaller style issues on the mobile device i added the parameter ~ITSMOBILECSSINCLUDE and uploaded the corresponding stylesheet in SE80 as a MIME object for the service.
The stylesheet now gets triggered. But I want to do some fine tuning, therefore i changed the stylesheet, saved it and published it and the complete service.
But know the changes visible on the screen. They are visible in SE80 but when i access the stylesheet directly (/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/barcodeservice/99/mystylesheet.css) I only see the version I have uploaded initially.
Is this a bug? Do i have to do anything else after I have published the change file? Any ideas for an workaround?
Thx in advance
Florian

I thx for your reply. I solved my problem by deleting the cache in SMICM.
Best regards
Florian

Business Process Modeling for Online Mobile Solutions

Hi,
I like to know what are the options available for business process modeling for online mobile applications? I feel Guided Procedure can be used for that but one issue is the standard GP Runtime view may not be suitable for Mobile displays and needs to be modified. Is there any other option available specifically for mobile solutions? Also I read in one article in SCN about a product call Mobile Fast Track (MFT) which is supposed to be delivered on Visual Composer. Is it already available? If yes which release and how to get that?
Any pointers on these will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipankar

Hi Alvaro Hernán Rojas R ,
The product line is the hierarchy of the finished goods.
It is pertinent that the finished goods has emerged due to some process(es) carried on the raw material.
Thus logically you should map in solution manager based on the process only.
The macro process while depicts the processes at the highest level.The Business scenarios, Business Process gives a good idea about how you should go about configuring.The Steps/activities helps you to map in to SAP thro' T/Codes.
From the point of view of all of the below three,namely,
Easy configuration activities
Easy design of Unit and integration test
Easy activities of Process enhancement and optimization,
the option Map the process as ISO Standards
- Several projects : For each product line,will be most ideal.
It is the processes that drives the activities.The control activities like internal control etc are all process based.Given these,divorcing the business process from the configuration -as in -is certainly not a good practice.
Hope this helps.

Ramesh

Usage of SAP Event Management as backend for custom mobile applications

Hi,
I'm am looking for an appropriate implementation approach for custom mobile applications as complement for warehouse processes with SAP Extended Warehouse Management.
Possible scenarios:
i) Goods issue - loading process
There are requirements like capturing of various data about the vehicle and load per RF handheld computer. The goal is to trace and archive them for analysis and reporting purposes.
ii) Goods receipt -production process
The production supply and goods receipt from production are realized in SAP EWM. The request is to collect data about the production process for quality reasons by use of RF devices.
You can picture oneself the additional mobile data entry activities during the various processes as predefined question catalogues with answer options.
The frontend - the additional mobile transactions can be realized with the EWM-Radio-Frequency-Framework, too. But I feel confindent that there is a better way to track, trace, store, analyse, report and archiv of the collected data to Y-TABLES.
Would you recommend to use SAP Event Management for this purpose to complement the SAP EWM processes?
The existing requirements as described above is in my understanding only a little fraction of the capabilities of SAP Event Management. The data collection and evaluation process is local within the warehouse. At first there is not requested any automatic system behaviour to particular events...
There are a lot material and information about SAP Event Management. But I havent found an easy getting started for my simple business scenario to enhance the EWM processes with the EM capabilities. How I could realize a question/anwer catalogue with the EM tools?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Laura

Hello Laura,
principally the process would fit for EM. But EWM is not integrated up to now to EM i.e. you would have to do the connection from EWM to EM by your own.
How to generally connect an application to EM is described here:

-> Event Managament
-> Technical Information
-> Connect SAP objects to SAP EM

A Guide for Testing SAP NW MI & its Mobile Solutions (MAM, MAU, MTT, ...)

Hi Guys,
As per my experience, there is no enough Methodology & Tools to test the SAP Mobile solutions landscape. There are scattered documents from SAP, which are neither enough nor sufficient to carry out the different required tests from Unit test till the stress & volume tests before the Go-Live in a reliable way!
I would appreciate it very much if we combine all our experiences to compile a guide about this topic, which we can all share and even continue updating it as SAP guys further develop their Mobile Technology.
I would suggest that this SAP Mobility Solutions Test Guide should contain the main sections:
- Testing NW MI MW server.
- Testing the ECC as a MI backend system
- Critical business processes of the mobile scenario (MAM for example)
- Testing the Mobile Applications on clients devices (MAM, MAU, MTT, )
- Performance tuning tips for all the involved software components
- Performance tuning tips for the all involved servers.
The guide should contain methodologies, tools, reference to SAP documents, sample actual testing results, ...
I would volunteer to compile your feedback into final master document and publish the final guide in SDN for all of us.
If somebody compiled such guide, it would be great if you publish it in the SDN.
Your feedback about this idea and contents for this guide is much appreciated & sure will help all of us to deliver better quality.
Thanks
Ahmed El Adl

Hi Ahmed,
Its a nice thread to start with. We shall do the same.
We are testing MI for past 1.6 yrs.
<<<<- Testing NW MI MW server.
- Testing the ECC as a MI backend system
- Critical business processes of the mobile scenario (MAM for example)
- Testing the Mobile Applications on clients devices (MAM, MAU, MTT, )
- Performance tuning tips for all the involved software components
- Performance tuning tips for the all involved servers.>>>>
Testing NW MI MW server----The entire backend side developed application can be automated(covering many features)
We have been executing few standard test cases and enhancing them.
So can you explain more clearly about what sort of methodologies you are talking about.
We generally analyze customer raised messeges and try to pump in more test cases to cover the features.
May be this is the starting to get more enchaments methodologies to improve MI.
FYI..In Newyork release MI architecture is going to be changed a bit...so can expect better performance(Webdynpro from client side)

I need help re-installing itunes. I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support. Any solutions?

I've been trying to upgrade to/install Itunes 10. When trying to do so, I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.
Per what I saw as a response to someone else who had a similar issue, I thought a fix might be to uninstall my existing Itunes, then try to re-install the Itunes 10. I tried that. However, I still get the same error message. Now, I have no Itunes.
I tried to email Apple, and they have not replied.
Anyone offer any solutions?

me too did you get any help?

IP mobility solution for a Data Centers

Hello guys
Please give me an advice.
Now I try to work out a networking solution for a two geo separated data centers (DCs).
Both the data centers will contain a virtualised server infrastructure (VMware).
Now the main design problem is to choose good solution for IP mobility and for the DCs interconnect. We need to have an ability of moving a VM machines both for maintanance and for disaster recovery between the DCs. And users must seamlessly without any advanced knowledge about routing be connected to the VM machines that were moved. For now the users work in 1100 different offices around the Ukraine country.
Yes I know a little about Cisco OTV, RHI and LISP solutions. But all this solutions require the top level switches and routers like Nexus 7000 and Cat 6500. And they are very costly.
Is there cheaper solution for the IP Mobility?
Maybe the NHRP protocol that is a part of the DMVPN could be a good solution?
Are there any features in NHRP or in other protocol for monitoring the health of a VM machine, customising and propagation the routing info in case of VM machine motion?
Thank you for help.

Hi Lavanya,
Required data from a legacy system(generate data only in the form of flat files)to SAP R3 as FB01 journals - use BDC for this thing because it will be better for large source files.
the output file should be generated periodically(daily,weekly,fortnightly etc) - if this output file contains acknowledgment for the data uploaded by the above process, create a ABAP report for it and schedule it..........but if this output contains some other IDOC data which you need to send as a file to a third-party system, then go for SAP XI provided the IDOC data is not too large... but if the IDOC size is huge, then just create a ABAP report for outputting data to a file on application server and FTP the file to third-party system.

Setting up Proxy for Mobile Solutions

Hi,
We have just recently looked into the InTune solution (Cloud) without SCCM for our MDM solution which will replace BES and GOOD as we are now starting to bring in Nokia Windows 8 phones and phasing out blackberry.
My question is, is there a way to setup proxy for the Mobile Phones? We have a proxy.pac file for various access rights that we will not be able to carry over as pac files are not supported on IE of the mobile phones.
Is there a way to create proxy profiles that can be applied to certain devices in InTunes?
Many Thanks
John

I know this is old but I’m trying to clean up old posts. Did you ever solve this? If so it would be good if you could post the solution to assist others. If not, at this stage,
as nobody has answered, I would recommend that you call Intune support.
You will find your local Intune support number here

Advices required for a JAWT implementation for Windows Mobile 5 and 6

Hi,
I want to create a jni bridge in order to open a player in a java Frame. This player works fine in a mobile native application.
I want to know if somebody tried already to create such a bridge keeping in mind that this is for mobile environment. If yes, is there some specific problems which I should be aware of?
Specifically I have 2 problems.
1. My jni getHWND method always return 0.
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_JavaRMEngineInterface_getHWND
(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jobject component){
     HWND hWnd = 0;
//try {
typedef jboolean (JNICALL PJAWT_GETAWT)(JNIEnv, JAWT*);
JAWT awt;
JAWT_DrawingSurface* ds;
JAWT_DrawingSurfaceInfo* dsi;
JAWT_Win32DrawingSurfaceInfo* dsi_win;
jboolean result;
jint lock;
bstrt jawtPath = "\\Windows"; // Put Path String from jrePath to jawtPath
//Load AWT Library
if(!_hAWT)
//for Java 1.4
hAWT = LoadLibrary(jawtPath + bstr_t("\\jawt.dll"));
//if(!_hAWT)
//for Java 1.3
//_hAWT = LoadLibrary(jawtPath + bstrt("\\awt.dll"));
if(_hAWT)
PJAWT_GETAWT JAWT_GetAWT = (PJAWT_GETAWT)GetProcAddress(_hAWT, L"_JAWT_GetAWT@8");
if(JAWT_GetAWT)
awt.version = JAWT_VERSION_1_3; // Init here with JAWT_VERSION_1_3 or JAWT_VERSION_1_4
//Get AWT API Interface
result = JAWT_GetAWT(env, &awt);
if(result != JNI_FALSE)
ds = awt.GetDrawingSurface(env, component);
if(ds != NULL)
lock = ds->Lock(ds);
if((lock & JAWT_LOCK_ERROR) == 0)
dsi = ds->GetDrawingSurfaceInfo(ds);
if(dsi)
dsi_win = (JAWT_Win32DrawingSurfaceInfo*)dsi->platformInfo;
if(dsi_win)
hWnd = dsi_win->hwnd;
ds->FreeDrawingSurfaceInfo(dsi);
ds->Unlock(ds);
awt.FreeDrawingSurface(ds);
return (jint)hWnd;
//}catch()
return (jint)hWnd;
2. this second method throw an "error C2100 illegal indirection" at the last line on g_hwndMain.
JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL Java_JavaRMEngineInterface_construct
(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj, jlong peer, jint hwnd, jlong top, jlong left, jlong bottom, jlong right, jstring lpszSystemLanguage, jint nCacheSize){
     CRMEngineInterface cpp_obj = (CRMEngineInterface)peer;
     HWND g_hwndMain = (HWND)hwnd;
     HDC hDC = ::GetDC(g_hwndMain);
     SIZE size;
size.cx = (LONG) right - (LONG) left;
size.cy = (LONG) bottom - (LONG) top;
     TCHAR sInstallDir[MAX_PATH];
     ::GetModuleFileName(NULL, sInstallDir, MAX_PATH);
     TCHAR* pEndPath = _tcsrchr(sInstallDir, L'\\');
     if (pEndPath != NULL)
          *(pEndPath + 1) = 0;
     TCHAR sContentDir[MAX_PATH];
     memcpy(sContentDir, sInstallDir, MAX_PATH);
     UINT nCacheSizeCPP = (UINT) nCacheSize;
     return *cpp_obj->construct( hDC, g_hwndMain, size, sInstallDir, sContentDir, 0);
Any advice will be very helpful.

Hello Brian,
the client technology is based on web dynpro, but it runs in an own Mobile Client. Therefore you do not need the internet browser for the application.
During the client development you can use the web dynpro tools to design the layout and the screen flow of your application. In the last step you can deploy the application to your mobile client and run it without a browser.
The mobile client includes a web dynpro runtime to display the data. Therefore you do not need a J2EE server in order to run an application.
The mobile occasionally connected scenario provides a api to access the local database. NetWeaver Mobile 7.1 for PDA supports two different databases:
1. MinDB ( from SAP, included no additionals license fee required )
2. DB2E
NetWeaver Mobile includes a complete queing mechanism.
You can also take a look into two eLearnings which provide a good technical overview:
Link: [Architecture and Runtime|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e048e20c-7246-2a10-e8a5-8b2b78b5b994]
Link: [Development Cycle and Tools|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/204fc387-6646-2a10-99b7-bba030bc3f68]
Unfortunetly there is no fixed timeline for WM6.But I guess this will be available soon.
I'm afraid but also don't know of any fixed timeline regarding Adobe Interactive forms.
The architecture of NetWeaver Mobile 7.1 is pretty new and full of great new functionalites. The User Interface for NetWeaver Mobile 7.1 uses eSWT to render the UI elements.

Stefan

BBY Mobile Solutions

I recently purchased from the BBY Mobile Solutions site, and I must warn you all that they are not the same as buying from Bestbuy Mobile or the store. I have had tremendous difficulty getting my phones and getting them to work properly, using BBY Mobile Solutions. I also signed up for a plan on their site, but when I received my bill, T-Mobile told me the plan I signed-up for was outdated and they would have to charge me for a higher priced plan. BBY MS told me to read the fine print, and they are allowed to have errors on their site.
Just beware who you deal with online! I'm in contact with the FTC now about this, but I wanted to give you all a headsup.

Hi Sunny,
It's quite difficult from your post to make out what you actually want to implement. Are you deploying the Sybase Mobile Sales for SAP CRM solution?
If yes, have you gone through the "Config Guide" avaialble on the service marketplace under Software Downloads -> Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP Components -> SAP Mobile Applications -> Gateway to SAP NetWeaver Mobile?
Do you have any specific issues or questions?
Regards,
Steffen

Questions on MCX Policies for Laptop/Mobile Users:

Questions on MCX Policies for Laptop/Mobile Users:
I have several managed Macs running Leopard. Many of them are MacBook laptops. My main MCX policies involve mapping printers and mounting network volumes at login. These are simple computer and group policies to help make the users life a little easier when it comes to finding and using network resources such as file server volumes and network printers.
Since most of my users are laptops, they are expressing 2 major concerns involving their laptops when they are off the LAN (i.e.; on the road at a cafe, working at home, staying at a hotel or when they have no network at all)
1) When users are off our LAN, the Mac still tries to mount the network volumes in their OD/MCX login items when the user logs in (with cached mobile credentials). Can this be avoided? Windows PCs do not do this. If the PC laptop cant find an AD DC, they simply don't run the login scripts and thus dont try to mount/map network volumes. How can I make the Mac laptops only mount network volumes when they are on the LAN?
2) Most Mac users have a Cisco VPN client, and use it regularly to connect to the company's LAN from home, hotels etc. Of course when they log into the network via VPN, their network volumes are not mounted automatically. Is their a way to re-run the MCX managed login items script once they connect to the VPN and mount (i.e.; "map") their network drives? Sure, users can simple use the "Connect To Server" option in the FInder (or perhaps try and use the god-awful Leopard Finder side bar discovery browser thingy which I hate - never mind), but I need a consistent automated way to mount volumes quickly and easily for my mobile users. There must be a way to run (or re-run) the login items part of my MCX policies.

Ping!
I'm looking for this functionality too. Anyone have a solution to either of these? One that came to mind is to wrap the login items in a script which detects if the LAN is available.

SDK support for BusinessObjects Mobile Android

Dear All,
I have read a useful document for BusinessObjects Mobile IOS recently:What is new in BusinessObjects Mobile BI iOS SDK 5.0 – Part 1 of ASUG Webcast
However, we can hardly find any SDK document for Android, so could anyone shed light on whether we have similar solution on Android? What if Android customer wish to customize their logo, icon, apps etc, how do we deal with it?
Thanks a lot,
Sophie

No specific plans at this time for x86 Android.

New to Java. Want to write a simple applet for a mobile phone.

Hello,
I want to write a simple java applet for a mobile phone. currently I am in the stage of thinking about whether this is possible in a timeframe of about a month. I have very little java experience from a while back so I'm pretty much starting from scratch.
All I want is an applet that lets you send 2 or 3 variables to an online server. The server will then reposition telescopes.
All i'm concerned with is the mobile phone part, which doesn't have to be secure or impressive. Just a simple interface.
Ideally it should work on my nokia 6070, which occording to the official specs has the following java technology:
MIDP 2.0
CLDC 1.1
JSR 120 Wireless Messaging API
JSR 135 Mobile Media API
Nokia UI API
(I don't know what any of this means but am a good learner).
Can anyone offer me any advice? Is this possible in my timeframe? where should I start? I need a editor and compiler also (I'm using windows XP).
Many thanks and kind regards,
Jason

Actually it is working on my phone now.
I changed the target platform in the wireless toolkit settings to MIDP 1.0
Now to create the fields coordinate fields etc. I don't have much of a clue really.
Current I have:
import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
public class AtmosMIDlet extends MIDlet implements CommandListener
Form WelcomeForm = new Form("AtmosMIDlet");
StringItem WelcomeMes = new StringItem(null, "Please enter coordinates:");
TextField Longitude = new TextField("Longitude", "", 3, TextField.NUMERIC);
TextField Lattitude = new TextField("Lattitude", "", 3, TextField.NUMERIC);
public AtmosMIDlet()
try
ImageItem logo = new ImageItem(Image.createImage("/logo.png"));
WelcomeForm.append(logo);
catch (java.io.IOException x)
throw new RuntimeException ("Image not found");
WelcomeForm.append(WelcomeMes);
WelcomeForm.append(Longitude);
WelcomeForm.append(Lattitude);
WelcomeForm.addCommand(new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 0));
WelcomeForm.setCommandListener(this);
public void startApp()
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(WelcomeForm);
public void pauseApp() {}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {}
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s)
notifyDestroyed();
I'm trying to get the image logo.png to display at the top but I get the error:
C:\WTK25\apps\AtmosSpec\src\AtmosMIDlet.java:19: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor ImageItem(javax.microedition.lcdui.Image)
location: class javax.microedition.lcdui.ImageItem
ImageItem logo = new ImageItem(Image.createImage("/logo.png"));
^
1 error
com.sun.kvem.ktools.ExecutionException
Build failed
When I try to build.. Any help would be great.
Ideally the image would be on a seperate screen for a couple of seconds.

(Urgent) Where can find the code and documentations for ATG mobile ?

Hi there,
We have a customer (Gome) which is implementing ATG products and ATG solution needs to support iPhone app as well. Due to the tight schedule, we are looking to have some reference modules to jump start our mobile module development and help us staying on the course of ATG best practices.
Before we can find some open source ATG mobile code available on community.atg.com site as part of ATG program. However they can not find it now because community.atg.com was closed.
Can anyone help on this ?
J.K Liu

The iPhone, Android, and mobile web solutions were previously provided via the ATG Catalyst program. As of the acquisition by Oracle a year ago, those offerings were withdrawn and are no longer available. Oracle has not provided any guidance as to whether they might be made available again, and if so, when and under what licensing guidelines.
I'm afraid that you're on your own. Sorry!
