Hi Everyone,

Please let me know the current technologies (both sap and non sap) that are used to develop sap applications for mobile devices.

You can also use non-sap technologies.

One way is to write an application that connects to DOE via RFC. The APIs provided by DOE for this are described here:

[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-mobile?rid=/library/uuid/30e033a0-73ef-2b10-b291-b653c3b48385]

librfc, the C API for RFC is described here:

[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/22/042887488911d189490000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]

Another way is to write your own channel in the DOE and use it along with a client that understands the protocol your channel talks.

Once you have a way with which to synchronize data with the DOE, there is no limitation on the technology you could use on the client.

Hi Mahee,

If you go to sdn link [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-mobile |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-mobile ] you will find all the sap mobile frameworks available for mobile devices like PDA, Laptop, Blackberry etc.

Customers can develop applications on those frameworks.

For Example,

Frameworks for Offline scenarios:

SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.1

Supported Programming Language - Java

Supported UI Technologies

- JSP

- AWT

- OCA (Occasionally-Connected Client)

- Webdynpro Java ([http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-ui|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-ui])

SAP Mobile Infrastructre 7.0/2.5

It is a predecessor of SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.1

Supported Programming Language - Java

Supported UI Technologies

- JSP

- AWT

Framework for Online scenarios:

[Mobile Webdynpro Online |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-userproductivity?rid=/webcontent/uuid/20ffed54-9812-2a10-9fb5-cb973a37ba3b] [original link is broken];
