SMP101 tutorials

[Former Member]

Hi experts, I really want to learn how to develop mobile apps in SAP. But I don't know where to start. I'm watching the videos in http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-36054 but some of the are not included in the test environment. For example, the database of FlightBooking. I can't follow or I can't move to the next step because of this. Do you have any other resources of how to create mobile apps in SAP B1?

Really appreciated if you do.

This is great. Thanks.

I have a few questions.

Is there any free web services for SMP aside from 30days trial? I don't think 30days is enough from me.

What is HWC?

What is the difference of Native app and HWC app?

You can check here (sign up for a Free 30 days Trial)

http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/mobility-platform

at least utilize it for 30 days. You will have good insight of SMP/SUP.

What is the difference of Native app and HWC app?

native apps::

1. single platform affinity

2.written with platform SDKs
3.must be written for each platform seperately
4.access to all native APIs
5.faster graphics performance

Hybrid web container (HWC)Apps::

Cross-platform affinity
written with web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JS)
Runs locally on the device, supports offline
Access to native APIs

HWC apps are based on web technologies like HTML5, javascript and css. This app runs in all the major smartphones like BB, Win Mob, Android and IOS. You can develop the app and deploy it to these devices. Since it uses the jQuery buttons, listviews etc the look and feel will not be perfect like native apps (most apps are native, watsapp facebook etc in your mobile). These are called light weight apps. You can use this app for small business scenarios like PO approval ot leave approval.

Native apps are those having the best look and feel that use the native features easily ex: native buttons, listviews etc. Performance of this app will be good when compared to HWC apps. Hence it can be used for developing large scenarios from mobile. If you want to develop these types of apps you need to develop separately for each platform. ex: If you want an android app you need android skills (based on java), similarly for IOS app you need ios skills (objective C) etc.

There is no other service from SAP other than 30 day trial. But from that trial itself you can upgrade by paying or an alternative is to register for a new trial period once 30 day period is expired.

SAP had launched a free course on SAP mobile solution development that would help the newbies like you, register here, https://open.sap.com/course/mobile1

What do you mean by "I've already have an account, but I accidentally closed the browser. Where can I login to netweaver cloud?"

Have you registered for NW gateway  system to use with the SUP cloud ?
