Developping Mobile Web Dynpro (ABAP) applications

[filippos_sempepos]

Hi all,

I would likr to create a Mobile Web Dynpro (ABAP) application for approving/rejecting POs. My landscape consists of ERP systems (ECC6 - ABAP instance).

Is Mobile Web Dynpro an Add-On that I need to install on my ECC6 system or, can i go directly to SE80 transaction, select Web Dynpro and start writing my code?

Basically, I would like to know what kind of technical infrastructure I need to have in-place in order to start developping Mobile Web Dynpro (ABAP) applications?

Thanks,

Filippos Sempepos

One thing I might add that isn't mentioned in the other thread. Although there is no mobile support in WDA, there are solutions for mobile in the ABAP stack. For telnet based interfaces you can still use SAPConsole. For HTML based you could use ITSMobile (the replacement for SAP Web Console) or BSP.

Thanks Thomas for joining in.

I am a little bit consfused with mobile web dynpro.

On the one hand, if I have a hybrid SAP WAS 7.0 (lets say a Solution Manager 7.0) can I use Web Dynpro component in transaction se80 in order to develop mobile Webdynpro applications? Or do I need to install a NWDI server and then install on the client side Netweaver Visual Studio (eclipse)?

On the other hand, if I only have an ERP 6.0 (WAS 7.0 - ABAP) landscape, I gather, that I can use BSP or ITS mobile technology to develop such applications. From SE80, I can see the BSP component is ready to use. However the ITSMobile is not mentioned in SE80. Do I have to use Internet service instead?

Thanks,

Filippos

Web Dynpro ABAP has no mobile rendering support. Only Web Dynpro Java does. To create a Web Dynpro Java mobile application you would use NetWeaver Developers Studio (Eclipse).

ITS Mobile is not a separate type of development object. It is just a style of ITS Service development.

Hello Thomas,

I want to utilize this opportunity to ask someting around which is already being discussed.

if some one wants to extend their webdynpro abap application to mobile device, what could be the best approach ?

Best approach: Don't use Web Dynpro ABAP. The render engine isn't supported on mobile browser and on many devices all you will get is an error message. I would recommend trying to change the rendering engine to support mobile. Much too extensive.

Hi Thomas,

Is there a suggested technology for ABAP Based application to be rendered on Mobile/Handheld devices ?

The suggestions for ABAP based mobile is listed earlier in this thread:

For telnet based interfaces you can still use SAPConsole. For HTML based you could use ITSMobile (the replacement for SAP Web Console) or BSP.
