Which Version of MI?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Please note that I am new to the mobile world so apologies for any stupid questions.

We are doing an upgrade from 4.7 to ERP 2005 and installing Netweaver 2004s SR2. We will also be implementing MTT 2.0. As I understand it there are 2 versions of the mobile infrastructure MI2.5 and MI7.0. I am trying to find out which version would be the correct version to use but I can't seem to find much documentation on MI7.0. As I understand it MI is shipped as part of NW2004/s.

I have the following questions:

1) Are these infact 2 different versions? And if so,

2) Which version of MI is shipped with NW2004s SR2 and are the versions associated with release or stack?

3) What major differences are there between 2.5 and 7.0? Is there any documentation on this?

Any information would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Max

Hi Max,

MI is completely integrated in SAP NetWeaver, where MI2.5 comes with NW04, MI7.0 comes with 2004s. From a functionality point of view both are equivalent from NW04 SP18/ 2004s SP09, so there is basically no difference for you choosing one or the other (some smaller differences exist though, e.g. 04 offers sync service via ABAP and Java, 04s only via ABAP, but ABAP is recommenend anyway).

Hope that helps,

Thomas

PS: Check help.sap.com for 04 and 04s and you will see even the docu is very similar.
