Regarding MI applications on laptop

[Former Member]

Hi,

The organization is moving from non SAP system to SAP for its work order management process.

Currently there are field tool applications in VB which have databases around 5 GB and lot of features like map viewing, rich User interface etc.

Can I support such a functionality in SAP mobile infrastructure.

As the client device is a rugged laptop, memory constraints are not an issue.

hello raja,

yes you can create a rich client program with MI as your

data/synchronization provider. MI supports only AWT and

JSP, but you can make use of other programs that will serve

your rich UI requirements and some codings in the MI side

which will act as your services to where you will be exchanging

data with. i had created a flash UI that exchanges data with

an application which acts as service in MI...

however, there's no official support on this issue thus

you really have to work on this on your own.

Hi,

Jo,Thanks for the clarification.

One more aspect where I want information is the database size.

According to my knowledge, the databases supported in MI

are

1.MAx DB

2. DB2 everyplace db

What is the max volume (in terms of GB) that they can grow to.

Are the above mentioned databases footprint databases or is there any possibility for a full fledge database ( query processor and stuff like that) in these databases
