How to integrate SAP into custom Apps?

[former_member199448]

Dear all,

Our goal is to develop apps to publish sap report by using the standard delivered web services, Mobile Services etc...

What are the steps to publish sap data by using web services, Mobile Services ?

1. Suppose i have a webservice and can control input and out data. How can i connect it to the apps? What are the steps?

2. Could some one explain me the the architecture? The integration? Is it a document which can help me?

Thank you in advance for the input.

Hi Gilo,

That is a very open question.

I asssume you are creating the mobile application using XCode, i.e. a naitve application. You can connect to the SAP services in objectice c from XCode to get the data.

However there is no simple SOA interface in XCode so you will either have to write the parser yourself or use a third party library or tool. You can also find many tutorials like this http://www.macresearch.org/interacting-soap-based-web-services-cocoa-part-2 for soap interaction with XCode.

So once you have your connection setup, you can then map that to your UI design using XCode and Interface Builder.
