SAP provides solutions for mobile business which leverage the performance potential of the mySAP Business Suite. Employees can access solutions wherever and whenever they need to. Moreover, existing solutions have become accessible to new user groups. SAP’s solutions for mobile business are designed to run in either an always connected or in occasionally connected mode.

SAP NetWeaver Mobile enables mobile solutions to run business logic in offline mode and

synchronize data with the enterprise backend system, when the mobile device is connected.

Not every business process can be moved to the mobile device and meet the requirements of the customer’s mobile user environment, connectivity, and device hardware. In particular, customers must consider performance, data volume, security, and user acceptance in the blueprint phase of mobile projects.

SAP NetWeaver Mobile is integrated into SAP NetWeaver and comprises three mobile client technologies to enable standardized mobile business solutions, as well as customer-specific developments optimized for user roles and target devices.

SAP NetWeaver Mobile has three different client technologies that are used.

Mobile Java Client

Optimized for PDA or handheld-based occasionally connected applications with a lean function set and small footprint, such as Mobile Asset Management (MAM). The Mobile Java Client can also run on a Win32 platform with an installed Java Runtime Environment.

Mobile Browser Client

This technology focuses on online technology, where a browser of a mobile device is always connected to a Web server. It is based on technologies such as WAP, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, GPRS, and so on. Mobile Sales Online is an example of an application that is based on this technology.

Mobile .Net Client for mySAP CRM

This client technology is designed and optimized for Microsoft Windows-based, occasionally connected CRM field applications running on mobile devices with a large footprint, such as notebooks.

Hi,

There is also a third mobile technology has been newly released with SAP NetWeaver Mobile 7.1.

Its called the Data Orchestration Engine. DOE also supports 'Mass Data Replication'.

Mass Data Replication - When there are huge data volumes to be fetched from the backend, the backend adapter can be configured to fetch the records in chunks of predetermined size. For example, if there a million records in the backend, user can configure the adapter to fetch 1,00,000 records at a time. This will help improve performance.

The following link gives an overview of the new mobile technology,
