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

[Former Member]

Hello everyone, could you tell me what's the difference between the SAP Mobile Infrastructure http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a7/893a5889e08b41b615688b1a93b559/frameset.htm and SAP NETWEAVER MOBILE 7.1 http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-mobile-tools;jsessionid=(J2EE3417800)ID0940784850DB220022777554969... ? I have to develop a mobile application and I have studied the MDK 2.5 here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/21eba3a7-0601-0010-b982-92f1fca3258a&override... , but now I have come to doubt whether I have done well to study MDK 2.5 for my purpose.

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.

In few words to mobilize enterprise solutions

SAP R/3 will act as backend

---talks to DOE through remote enabled BAPI Wrappers ---

NW mobile will be middleware that does the data orchestration

-

---

Upon Synchronization of mobile device with DOE using a messaging protocol over http(s)

Receivers could be devices with client application installed / another server.

I have to work with a AS NW 2004, can I use without problems SAP NW Mobile 7.1? Excuse me but I am new to SAP world and I have many doubts.

Hi,

Mobile 7.1 is part of Netweaver 7.1 (along with ABAP AS 7.1) and not available on NW04.

So you will have to install NW 7.1 to start working with Mobile 7.1

If you have applications already running on MI 7.0/2.5, they could be migrated to NW 7.1
