Hi all,
I keep hearing about Netweaver Mobile 7.1 and always-connected (online) applications but I do not understand what role NW Mobile 7.1 plays in thi scenario. Here is my current understanding.
Always-connected application are developed in WebDynpro on any Netweaver plattform (usually the ECC 6.0 platform or any other version). These applications can then be called from and displayed in a handheld device. This requires a real-time connection (e.g. WiFi) to the backend system (e.g. ECC 6.0).
The development of these applications can be done in NWDS for WebDynpro for Java (Mobile perspective) or in ABAP Workbench for WebDynpro for ABAP. Is this (very) high-level summary correct?
Occasionally-connected applications are developed in NW Mobile 7.1 system landscape (not on ECC 6.0 landscape) for the data objects, distribution models, etc and the application is developed in NWDS (mobile perspective). Data is being synchronized using the DOE of NW Mobile and sent back and forth between handheld and backend. Any other comments here?
My questions are:
- What role does NW Mobile 7.1 play in always-connected mobile scenarios?
- Can I build an always-connected application in NW Mobile 7.1 using WebDynpro? What are the benefits of doing so?
- Can a WebDynpro application be executed offline on a handheld using NW Mobile 7.1?
Any information to my questions is appreciated.
Thanks,
Wolfgang
