SAP BI reports on mobile devices

Hi experts
We need have some business intelligence (SAP BI) reports and metrics on our mobile devices (BlackBerry, Iphone, Ipad). For example: The mobile'users should enter a product ID and the report show the metrics relate with it availables in SAP BI.
We have BusinessObject products and we know about BOBJ tools to design our solution to mobile devices.
Can we use BO Mobile and BO Explorer simultaneously to show the reports on Blackberry and Mac Devices?
With BOBJ tools can we do a interactive report (to enter product key) ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Osmy,
With the latest BI4.0, you will be able to use BI Reports on Blackberry (and nokia) devices (this was also available in XI3.x releases) . There is no iphone support yet - which maybe coming shortly in later releases.
As for Explorer, i* apps are already available - but not for blackberry as far as i know
You may already be able to run interactive (prompted) reports on blackberry. Below is a link on design best practices for reports on mobile

  • ITunes reports "Apple Mobile Device" service error

    After much posting and messing around to find a solution to my service crash issues, I have some advice for others to share.
    PROBLEM: If you launch "iTunes" and receive a message indicating that: This i<device> cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started. The iPod/iPhone will not appear, nor will the system allow you to interact with the device.
    CAUSE: There is usually another software installation that is "hooking" into the system and causing issues. These are usually in the form of proxy, firewall, anti-virus, and/or remote control programs.
    SOLUTION: Use the "Computer Management" MMC (right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage") to track down the issue. Please do the following:
    1) Check the "Services" section. You should see an entry called "Apple Mobile Device". This should be started with a startup value of "Automatic". If the status is "Stopped" (or at least indicates that it is not "Started"), then attempt to start the service. if nothing else, this will tell you if the required binary/executable is located in the correct directory for the service entry. If the service cannot start, or if the service reports that the file is missing, attempt to re-install the "Apple Mobile Device" MSI. Worse case, you may need to uninstall iTunes and re-install.
    2) Try crashing the service again. The usual symptoms of this issue are that the service can be started, and will operate fine until iTunes is loaded, at which point the error message appears regarding the service (not being started). If you check the "services" section at this time, you will likely see that the previously running service is now stopped. Doing this will also create a new set of crash events in teh event log. Take note of the time when you "crash" the service and continue to the next step.
    3) Check the "Event Viewer" section. locate the time of the service crash. The entries should be listed with a red "X" icon. now look at the event. This should tell you what the "Faulting module name" is. If you are using a proxy application or firewall, you may see something like "FPServiceProvider.dll" (Foxyproxy), "MPFP.dll" (McAfee Firewall), or even a generic entry like "ntdll.dll" (The Windows user environment). In every case (except "ntdll.dll") you swhould be able to search the web for the "DLL" or "EXE" name and work out what application is causing the issue. in the case of "ntdll.dll", you'll need to look for software that hooks into your system. Software like "DyKnow" remote control and other remote administration tools.
    If you have installed a remote administration, remote control and/or security suite between a working iTunes and one that crashes, you may want to start with removing those as a test. Once I removed our faulty application (and it's hooks into the OS), iTunes funcationality was fully restored.
    This is a "for your information" post. Hopefully it will save the trouble I had to go through to fix this problem.

    Thank you so much for this. This was the most helpful advice I could found and seems likely to be applicable to many other people. I had the problem of my iPhone suddenly not being recognized by iTunes and I couldn't figure out why. Although I didn't have exactly the same scenario as the OP, (no actual crash, just an error message from iTunes saying device could not be used because Apple Mobile Device Service was not started) I used the info above to localise the conflicting software (proxy software - doh!). After uninstalling that and rebooting everything is good again. Thanks once more.

  • SAP system access from mobile device

    Hi Techies,
    One of my client requirement is as below:
    For WMS operations they need to access SAP from mobile devices, SAP suggested to use SAP Console for their requirement.
    What are the available options to achieve this?
    And any sample docs/Install guide links?
    Env is SAP 4.7
    Regards,
    NIck Loy

    Hi Nick,
    1) We are running on ABAP engine(SAP 4.7), is it possible to use SAP ITS ?
    Yes, it is possible: you can use the ITS 6.20; SAP note 325616 will provide you with more information.
    2) If possible what are the mail installation kits, R/3 activities to activate the ITS service?
    You can go through the installation guide:
    htp://service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Frontend Components (ITS / GUI) -> SAP Internet Transaction Server -> 6.20
    Here you find the Installation Guides, for example SAP @WEB 6.20 (SAP ITS) Inst. Guide Patchlevel 23 or higher
    I hope this helps,

  • Emailing SAP standard report using output device ZPDF1

    I have two questions regarding the ability to email a standard SAP report.
    The user community has been using the action box in tran QM02 to create a corrective action (8D) report. The action box triggers FM QM06_FM_TASK_REQUEST_8DREPORT and QM06_REQUEST_8D_REPORT_STEP2. This process not only creates the report but creates a task in the notification that the report has been generated. The process pops up the PRINT options box to choose various setting including output device. They will then print the report, scan this hardcopy report and email it to the vendor.
    We recently showed them a more streamlined process to emailing the report. When the PRINT popup appears, they fill in the output device with ZPDF1 and hit enter. This brings in an email address line that can be filled with the vendor’s email. By specifying the ZPDF1 output device, the report is generated as a PDF attachment and sent along to the vendor via email.
    The two questions I have are:
    1. Is there any way to bring over the print parameters needed for the popup screen and eliminate this screen from appearing?
    The subject line on the email is populated with the system and spool number even if the title line is filled in on the print popup. Also, the email body has is created with generic text.
    2. How can the email subject and body information be changed?
    Sorry for the lengthy post but I am not very technical and I wanted to describe the issues as best as possible.
    thanks

    Hi,
    This is possible please configure the Message determination the Output should poin to Outlook

  • Regarding download of files from SAP Web AS to mobile device

    Hi,
    We are writing an asset management application where we need to download files related to work order.
    Each work order has some help files which need to be accessed while working on the work order.
    Is such a file download possible in SAP Mi.
    Regards
    Raja Sekhar

    hi Raja,
    these applications are made for Laptops (for now atleast). they might support/release these applications for other hand held devices also.
    i checked on the Mobile Time and Travel. they run only on Laptops. the support for others are not mentioned in the installation & configuration documents that accompany these downloads.
    i believe in one of the posts in this forum, a fellow developer was trying to see if MAM was working on a PDA. Check out this Regarding applying patch for MI 2.5 SP14 on MI 2.5 SP13 client.
    hope this helps!

  • How to connect SAP Mobile device with BADI?

    Dear experts,
    We have some functionality written in the BADI program for handling Stock movement . We want to bring the same functionality for SAP Mobile device.
    Can you please provide your suggestions?
    Thank you!
    Saravanan

    continuing...
    How NW Mobile can achieve this is:
    1. By creating BAPI Wrappers (these should follow the CRUD principle)
    2. Then you import these BAPI Wrappers as 'Data Objects' into NW Mobile.
    (In your case, I guess you would have a Data Object relating to instances of Consignment Stock Movements)
    3. Then you create distribution rules (this will define which data object instances will flow to which devices)
    4. You create and deploy an application on your device (you can write whatever business logic you want in your application, including taking inputs from a user, or doing manipulations to the data object instances)
    When the user uses your application, changes will be done to the data object instances, either due to synchronizing data with NW Mobile (to get latest set of changes to the instances) or by creating, modifying or deleting the instances in the device.
    Later, when the user synchronizes with NW Mobile, the changes made to the data in the device will be forwarded to the backend via the BAPI Wrappers which you created earlier.
    This, in essence is how NW Mobile works.
    If however, you want to replicate the logic that is being performed in your BAdI in your mobile device, there are only two ways to it:
    1. You rewrite your logic in your mobile application (in Java, or whatever language it is that you wish to develop your application in)
    OR
    2. Say your BAPI Wrapper internally causes your backend to call certain BAdI's. But this is of no concern to the NW Mobile system itself.
    An example of #2 would be:
    Every time your user modifies a 'Consignment Stock Movement' in the device and syncs with NW Mobile, NW Mobile will call the MODIFY BAPI Wrapper in the backend (SRS system). The MODIFY BAPI Wrapper will trigger a workflow, or run an SAP shipped report or whatever it is that will lead your BAdI to be called... Finally, all this will cause some change to be done to your 'Consignment Stock Movement' in the backend. Which will get pushed to the NW Mobile system and the next time the device syncs with it, this change will be reflected in the device as well.

  • How mobile device ( rfid/barcode reader) communicates with SAP transaction.

    Dear Friends !
    Good morning, How are you ?
    I want to understand that in ITSmobile How Mobile device ( RFID Reader ot Barcode scanner/reader) to fetch the data and supply the ITS screen.
    I believe every mobile device has some .dll file or something in that we have some methods if we call it say in .net or java application we can read the rfid or barcode and from the returning paramter of the .dll method we can get information what we want ( if i m not wrong).
    now the question is if I have some barcode /rfid number which is assigned to sap material number. if on mobile device I run mm02 transaction code n trigger the gun can I get the material number in material number field . ( assume I have program which can fetch the material number from barcode/rfid number.) ? but to pass rfid number / barcode what should I do. I can write javascript and call that method but dont know weather I can use javascript or not in that.
    to be simple:
    How can I get barcode / rfid number to my sap transaction. if possible
    please give me any suggestion. document link... help.... whatever may help me to understand this. I will greatly appreciate your reply
    Thanking you
    Regards
    Naeem

    Hi Ajay,
    Please refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.
    The Javadoc to get an idea about how to use those PIOS API for barcode scanner
    http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nwmobile/SP3/laptops/com/sap/ip/me/api/pios/scanner/ScannerConnection.html
    As input from Barcode scan have to be taken in Wedge Mode, there is no need to do any developments in MI JSP Application. To enable barcode scan one can download barcode scan tools available from Handheld Vendor sites

  • How to deploy application created in SAP MI 7.1 on Mobile Device.

    Hi Friends,
    I have developed a m employee application in SAP MI 7.1 through Netweaver Developer Studio running succesfully on mobile simulater.
    I have also successfuly Installed SAP MI Client 7.1 on my mobile device.
    Now I am struggling with how to deploy my application on mobile device.
    Is there any way that I can simply copy the working project files from developer studio and paste them in Mobile Device to make the application work on mobile device as well.
    or is there any other method to do this .
    Please Suggest.
    Regards
    Nitesh.

    <pre>
    Hi Amit
    Firstly I created the
    1. Employee_sc Service in the Service Explorer
    2. Employee_UI in the handheld UI explorer.<
    3. Emplyee_app in the 'Applicaton Explorer' where I included both the service and the UI together.
    Then I deployed all three in the default Mi location and tested in the simulater . It works fine in simulater.
    In the First View of my application I am not displaying any data from the DOE.
    In the first View I just have the butons to create, search and delete employee details.
    In my whole application I am not using any data objects from the backend. The dataobjects are creted in the frontend (NWDS) only.
    Now Instead of AWT I Installed JSP Container. It is now Showing The employee application.
    But as soon as I click the application it gives the execption.

  • Measuring Points are Not displaying in mobile devices(SAP WM 6.1)

    Hi Experts,
    In mobile devices the measuring pints for work order not displaying. When we select the "record point" option for particular work order it should display the measuring points for that WO. But it displaying '0 measuring points'. As shown in screen shot below.
    But in SAP Bach end Measuring Documents are defined for Work Order.
    can any one explain :To display measuring points in mobile devices, need any extra configuration in back end? or
    What functionality need to activate? How to enable this?
    Thanks
    Chigari

    Hi Chigari
    Measuring Points assigned as PRT's in backend application (SAP ECC) should be displayed in Agentry Work Manager 6.1 by standard, if their corresponding technical objects are assigned to either the Work Order header or one of the operations.
    Please check if this requirement is fulfilled in your case.
    There is no need to modify anything in the Configuration Portal (as far as I know).
    The modification we have made is only regarding Measuring Points belonging to other Technical Objects (and still assigned as PRTs).

  • Mobile devices which support SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1

    Hi all,
    I would like to know what are all the mobile devices which would support application made of Netweaver Mobile.
    According to my knowledge the following devices support, sorry PDA's support:
    PPC 2003
    PPC 2005
    Mobile 6.0
    My question is will normal mobile phones like Nokia or Sony ericsson will or will not support applications based on Netweaver Mobile.
    If not why? any specific reasons.
    My client is asking me these all Questions.
    Kindly help me here.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rahul,
    well, I understand the reason for your question, but I think it is not that easy.
    Sure, there are other JVM available for Mobile devices. Take J9 from IBM for example. But the problem is: every vendort has his own implementation, toolset, supports Swing or not,.... Well, sometimes it is just a small thing that is not working in one JVM that works fine on the other one and MI fails. With MI7.1 it gets a little more problematic. Up to version 7.0 MI supported Creme 3.xx based on JRE1.1.8. Starting with MI7.1 SAP supports the latest creme version that is compatible to JRE1.4. There are only a few JVM outside for the PDA supporting JRE1.4 and all this comes to the single sentence at the end:
    SAP supports only Creme - because it is only tested with creme.
    The min requirement is in the first place to be able to run Creme on the device. If this is ok, you should have 128MB RAM - I have not done any tests with MI7.1 on devices with less memory, but I got some issues with 7.0 MI and 64MB RAM.
    Well, at the end this is it to run MI occasionally connected.
    But if you need to run an App on the PDA and you do not need data storeage on the device cause you will be always online when you use the app - try WebDynproMobile. This runs in the browser, runs on the Mobile phone by my knowledge and could help you perhaps. If you are not always online and so you need data on the device, I think you need to go with PDAs.
    Hope this helps.

    Oliver
