The following short videos walk through the process of implementing, deploying and running an SAP based mobile business solution from beginning to the end using the SMP Object API. The tutorials are based on the standard SAP Flight Application Demo included in most SAP installations and describes an Object API based flight booking client application that enables users to make reservations and manage their bookings using a mobile device.
Create a Connection and Data Model from SAP BAPIs/RFCs This tutorial showcases how to create a mobile application and setup the connection to the SAP Server, how to define a basic data model with mobile business objects and relationships and how to create MBO operations from BAPIs/RFCs | |
Implementing Caching Strategies The topics discussed in this tutorial include how to design MBOs to efficiently load data from back end systems, caching strategies and their implications for loading data from back end systems and some guidelines for choosing the correct cache group policy. | |
Implementing Synchronization Patterns This tutorial discusses how to design MBOs to enable efficiently synchronization between a device and SMP and some common synchronization patterns for device and SMP data exchange. | |
Generate Object API Code for Native Applications This tutorial covers how to generate Object API code from the MBO data model for Android, iOS and WinMobile apps, some of the key files and API methods generated. | |
Publish an MBO Package to the SMP Server This tutorial demonstrates how to deploy a single mobile application project, some of the key artifacts generated and available in SCC as part of the package deployment and how to create deployment packages and profiles for reusability, package bundling multi-server deployment | |
Creating a Mobile Application that Synchronizes with a SAP EIS This tutorial describes some of the MBO best practices, caching strategies and synchronization patterns used for the Flight Booking Android application, how to implement in SMP WorkSpace (or IDE of choice) the user interface and business logic that invokes the Object API and how to deploy the client to a simulator or physical device to run the application that invokes MBO operations. | |
Receiving Change Notifications from an SAP Back End System This tutorial demonstrates how to use a DCN-generating ABAP service to sends data change notifications (DCN) from SAP back-end system to the SMP Server, and how to enable server initiated synchronization in the client application (a.k.a. targeted change notifications or TCN) to receive notifications. | |
