Customize Sybase Sales Mobile for iPad

[Former Member]

we are going to customize sybase sales mobile app for iPad. From my reading to connect to SAP CRM system, two approaches are available:

1.)Using DOE connection, which implies:

      Installing SAP NW 7.1, Gateway 1.1 to NW Mobile (DOE), and DOE-C on SUP part.

2.) Using JCO to connect directly to SAP CRM

I know the decision of choosing between the two connection options depends on many factors (e.g; client needs, data distribution, ....)

Now if  the code of the sybase mobile sales application is available and I want to customize it, the options to connect to the BE:

1. using the standard connection used for this app which is DOE, so generate MBO from new ESDMA files depending on my client business needs and use native application development (in my case for ios).

2. using JCO and build the app from scratch. Or is it possible to reuse the mbo's of this app with JCO connection?

Any Recommendations from previous experience??

Thanks

Let me rephrase my question, regardless to our project specification i mentioned in the first post. I want to know the best practice and the criteria should I take when developing SUP mobile application integrated with SAP BE system. What would be the best connection option to take? what are the considerations should be taken when choosing between the two approaches?

It would be great if we can share this discussion with others who get involved in this type of projects.

Please see my reply in the other thread.

If you are going to extend the standard app, the best practice is following the original standard architecture/connection.

SAP CRM Sales mobile app case is SUP + SAP NetWeaver Mobile.

What are business requirements for extending functions?

It is buy the standard app or build custom app decision.

If you have already licenses for Sybase Mobile Sales for SAP CRM, please check the new version, SAP CRM Sales mobile app 2.0. It has more functions than old version 1.2 and has extensibility options.

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply, I am talking about the standard application

about the business requirements, new functional modules will be implemented beside the already existed functional modules that the standard app provide

[masa_139]

In that case, you should go with DOE connector.

Before you extend the backend adapter Function Module, please check the adding fields by BADI solution. If it is enough for extending fields, you may not need to enhance the Function Module.
