HandHeld Dolphin 9550

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I've been researching thru SDN about how to make the handheld Dolphin 9550 work on MII v_12. I saw a bunch of reference to the document "How to Configure the xMII Server and xMII Pages for Mobile Devices" which is very good, but it seems to work just for MII 11.5.

In 11.5 we have the option to add HTTP_USER_AGENT in the Client.ini file. In version 12 I don't know how to make sure the MII server is ready to get requests from the handheld Dolphin 9550.

The Handheld is running CE/PocketPC 2002.

What I've done until now:

- Mobile navigation tree

- Tested navigation tree using a Blackberry emulator and it worked fine.

- Tested navigation tree using a CE 5.0 Emulator but this one didn't work. I got the login page from Netweaver but then I got locked up with a blank page at <server details>/XMII/goService.jsp. I tried IP address and host name and both didn't work.

- Tested using the HandHeld but got same error as before when I tested using Windows CE Emulator.

I don't have a HandHeld here with me.

Does anyone have been thru this before?

I'd appreciate any help, thought, suggestion, clue, whateveru2026

Thank you all!

Ricardo,

With 12.0, there is no client.ini file to hand edit, nor is there an editor.

The secret lies within the records found in the XMII_CLIENTINI database table.

Here are the default entries I see:

DEVICE, TOKEN, MIMETYPE, HEADERFIELD, HEADERFIELDVALUE
Blackberry, SIMPLEHTML, text/html, User-Agent, BlackBerry
IPaq3360, SIMPLEHTML, text/html, UA-OS	Windows, CE
Nokia9210, SIMPLEHTML, text/html, User-Agent, Crystal
Palm i705, SIMPLEHTML, text/html, User-Agent, Elaine
Treo 180, SIMPLEHTML, text/html, User-Agent, Blazer

Here are some links to help see what the sniffer component would return that would help identify your Dolphin as a 'mobile' device and therefore expose the user to the mobile links you've defined in the Navigation Editor.

If you are able to log in with the device (or emulator) then navigate to: /XMII/Illuminator?Service=SystemInfo&Mode=CurrentProfile&Content-Type=text/xml

If you see NavigationItems and TabItems nodesets in the xml then it is not detecting you as mobile.

If you see MobileItems then your Mobile Theme stylesheet (as defined in the Navigation Editor) for the personalization service should use this profile xml to render your view in the 'home page' look and feel you've defined.

If no Mobile theme is defined it will use the default one: /XMII/Themes/DynamicSimpleHTMLHomePage.xsl

Jeremy,

We have similar issue when we try to login to SYMBOL handheld device. So my question is how

to maintain the handheld parameters in the table XMII_CLIENTINI. Should we need to do direct INSERT

or via configuration.

Thanks

You will need to use whatever database tools are relevant for the underlying NW database (SQL Server, Oracle, etc).

Hi Mahesh

Thanks for the response, yes i am aware of the database systems to use but i wanted to know the exact values to insert into the table XMII_CLIENTINI in order to get a hand held device working for Windows CE, i am having an issue with LXE guns but not with Motorola ones,

kind regards,

Garreth.

Hi Ricardo,

What values did you insert for the windows CE to work ?

Cheers,
