SMP 3.0 + Single Device Multiple Users

[former_member198480]

Dear All,

We are in an evaluation phase with one of our clients where there is a possibility of using the same device with multiple SMP users.

An Example is a multiple shift production or construction site that have only one Device for their use. Now in morning shift User A will be login and his data will be loaded and in evening shift User B will need to login in the same device and work on his data.

We are migrating from SUP 2.2.5 to SMP 3.0.x where you need to unregister and than register a new user in order to run on the same device.

The application is built with SAP UI5 + OData (Netweaver Gateway) + SMP 3.0.x

Question 1: What should be the ideal process flow for Logout/Login with SMP 3.0.x keeping in mind register/unregister in mind ???

Question 2: If multiple users can login in same device, how offline scenarios will be handled for those users ???

A prompt reply would be highly appreciated.

Hi Muhammad,

You could use different users from one device.

But the user need to unregister (logout) each time when he handover the device to another user.

It is also not feasible if you plan to use offline. Because if the data to be used in offline is large it takes more time to load the offline data on device when a user logs in.

Also, it will not be possible to handover the device to a different user if the device is offline, i.e unregistration doesn't work offline.
