SAP Mobile Documents and Citrix NetScaler

Hi all,
we're aiming to implement a secure Mobile Documents server that is protected from the Internet via a solution in the DMZ. We are eschewing a reverse proxy and are going for a Citrix NetScaler instead. Has anyone tried this combination before and if yes do you have any recommendations? I'm grateful for any tips in this direction.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,
Happy to hear you are going to implement Mobile Documents. There are for sure certain advantages Citrix NetScaler brings. Below I am not going to argue against or pro this product.
Beside the bunch of features you may enable to secure and monitor the traffic and prevent attacks, let me enumerate some you may want to pay attention to.
- Content Streaming. A domain where some proxy come short due to the fact that not only do not support streaming but use also the main memory for caching.
- URL rewriting. If you get problems here you can configure the URL rewriting directly in Mobile documents
- Compressing. If this already happens on the NetWeaver stack, make sure you don't do it twice.
- Security protections. We already have protections in place against SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks for example, make sure that you don't kill the response times by throwing everything at hand.
- Authentication. If no VPN is configured or a second factor is used for the authentication, make a trust between the systems to avoid double authentication.
Good Luck and please share your experience.
Regards,
Corneliu

Error while uploading images to SAP Mobile Documents from iPad application using ObjectiveCMIS.

SAP Mobile Documents buttons missing

Hi gurus,
I have installed SAP Mobile Documents server, and mobile applications on devices are working as expected, but web app is not showing action buttons (create, share, delete ...) when a file is selected, only info properties icon (with letter i shows up) and there is no logon info or help buttons in the upper right corner of the screen.
Does anyone have an idea, what could be the problem? Version of MCM server is SP2 patch3.
BR, Igor

Hi,
looking at the screenshot (especially the weird looking checkboxes to the left of the items of the table), it seems that the UI5 Version is not the one we need. You should at least have UI5 Version 1.16.5. You can find out which version is used if you press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+P. A popup should get displayed, showing some general information about UI5.
Best Regards,
Ingo

Mobile Documents and OS X Server

Hi, I'm having problems with "mobile documents" and OS X server.
All our user accounts are on a OS X server (mountain lion). When trying to access documents on iCloud from a desktop I see following error in the logs:

Sounds like you can't access documents on iCloud when serving your accounts from an OS X Server? Would be bad, any thoughts?

neuhaus,
I am discovering the same issue. I have come to the same conclusion as you and am terribly disappointed. Did you have any luck figuring this out? Did you submit a bug report?
There is still one factor I am trying to isolate. Is the version of Pages (or other iWork app) being used downloaded from the Apple Store or installed from a DVD?

Hi,
We have this answer in many other threads..
Mobile infrastructure (MI 2.5 / MI 7.0) is the older release of mobile.The latest version of mobile is NW Mobile 7.1 which comes with a total architectural change, provides better scalability and has advantages in many other areas like better modeling, monitoring options , faster device synchronization time etc.
Netweaver mobile constitutes of server (DOE) and a default client framework (Netweaver mobile client) .
Mobile application could be created using NetweaverDeveloper Studio(NWDS) that will present the data required by the mobile device user.
This mobile application once deployed on a device will work on the local persistency and during synchronization with DOE sends the modified/new data to Backend via DOE.
Customers can also develop a custom client framework and application that still talks to DOE (and inturn to backend)
NW mobile 7.1 could be used to build mobile applications suiting offline and onlines scenarios.

Quotas in SAP Mobile Documents on-premise?

Hi all,
the Mobile Documents cloud version supports quotas for My Documents and Shared Documents. Does the on-premise version support this and if yes where can we find the settings (NetWeaver?)?
Best regards

Hi Daniel,
no, currently not. It's not possible to query the KM for folder sizes yet, maybe this is implemented in a future release.

SAP Mobile Documents language

Does any body know - is it possible to change the language of web form (/mcm/admin, /mcm/browser).
I have two different versions of browser in terms of language (English and Russian).
But when I open for example /mcm/browser - I always see the English version of the page.
Where I could set the appropriate language settings?
P.S.
For example:
If we test the official SAP link: mdocs.sap.com - then in Russian browser I see russian page, in English I see english page.
So I suggest that potentially I can set somehere such setting but I don't know where.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for reply!
I noticed that the java package which deployed to AS server (com.sap.mcm.server.nw.web.war) contain localization info in the folders called "i18n". Files with extension .properties.
As you can see there different types of languages already. But if I want to use another language (for example Russian) which SAP Mobile Docs not support up till now, can I create such files, call it like "shared_ru.properties" and deploy it on the server - is it possible?

Difference between the SAP Mobile Infrastructure and SAP NW MOBILE7.1

Options are explored for next release SP3 (mid October). Most probably we will get read only access to the PLM content.
We will keep you posted.
