SAP mobile app and Airwatch

[bCarmichael]

We have purchased a mobile app from SAP and we would like to use Airwatch to distribute it pre-configured (server name, port, etc) to our users?  Is this possible?  If so, what do we need to do?

Thanks

Hi,

What i Understand

For standard SAP application you cant pre-configured the Settings ( Server , ports..) from Airwatch.

For Own Application ( Code by you) can be pre-configured with Airwatch SDK which is available.

Afaria is Powerful MDM Solution (Acc. to Gartner).

Hi

Barbara did you made a test with Airwatch ?

Ray I found that note. But It is regarding agentry Client not SAP BusinessObjects BI Mobile Client.

Did you know where I can find an official document dealing with SAP Mobile and Airwatch?

Thank you

Hi

Could I find an official document in which I can find if SAP BI Mobile for OS and airwatch are compatible ?

Barbara did you find a solution ?

Thank you.

What I gathered was that for a mobile app created by SAP you can not preconfigure the ap using Airwatch.   It seems SAP wants you to use their Afaria product.

I am not sure on Airwatch. But I am wondering why you are not using the MDM Leader SAP Afaria (Acc. to Gartner)  instead of Airwatch. Afaria is a very powerful MDM solution provided by SAP. Some of the key features of Afaria are:

• Protect critical corporate data with the most scalable, secure architecture
• Choose scalable and flexible deployment methods - Cloud or On-Premise
• Support for both personally owned and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios
