Integrating MI with Non SAP Application

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I am a newbie & trying to integrate a non SAP application with Mobile Infrastructure 2.5.

Can anybody help me with a rough outline/architecture for integrating a non SAP application with Mobile Infrastructure 2.5 or if anybody of you could direct me to the documentation supporting the same. It would be a great favour to me.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

well there's several ways to do this:

- you could use the generic sync mechanism of MI in order to have a wrapper function module of your SAP system call your non-SAP system via RFC.

- you could probably also use the SmartSync mechansim of MI in order to have a BAPI retrieve it's data from a non-SAP system (probably more tricky)

- you could simply do an http call to any non-system you want from the PDA (MI client); in this case you would need to handle the message format (SOAP or your own format)

Maybe you should first get used to GenericSync and smartSync features in the MDK (http://media.sdn.sap.com/public/html/submitted_docs/MI/MDK_2.5/).

Cheers, Stefan

Hi,

with non-SAP application, do you have an already existing application for mobile devices in mind, or do you want to integrate business data from a non-SAP system via Mobile Infrastructure ?

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to integrate business data from a non-SAP system via Mobile Infrastructure & need to display it on PDA.

Can you help me out to find the way to do this?

Thanks & Regards,
