calling SAP Web GUI from i-pad native application

[former_member211898]

Dear experts,

I am pretty new to i-pad native application development and i wanted to know how to open SAP Web GUI from I-Pad native application, the way it opens in SAPPLAPP. It's an urgent requirement from my clients.

Please help me out with this.

Thanks in advance....

I would think that you simply need to open the URL for webgui within a UIWebView in your app.

The URL you need to invoke is something like ...

http://<SAP server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui

Test this on your desktop browser first.

For this to work on your iPad, it assumes of course the iPad can connect to the SAP server over wi-fi, 3G etc.

To achieve 'single sign on', there are a few ways to accomplish this. I am assuming the SAPLAPPS app is passing the SAP username ('sap-user'), password ('sap-password') and client ('sap-client') in the HTTP request header.
