Extracts:
Extract 1 - With
SAP mobile technology, anyone in an enterprise can access any data at any moment
of time as per requirements. The range of applications offered by the mySAP
mobile business enables an organization to meet its business goals effectively.
A mobile device can be connected to various applications of the enterprise
systems such as production and warehouse applications, time and attendance
management, asset management and sales etc. Empowering employees with access to
vital corporate information anytime, anywhere, anyhow, can bring incredible
competitive advantages through a better-informed workforce. Employees can make
better decisions simply because they are accessing precise data.
Extract 2 -
Mobile Engine deployment is an automated process, which requires minimal
administrative efforts on mobile device. Deployment is a role-based process in
which different mobile users are assigned specific roles. The deployment is
administered with the help of Deployment Console that speeds up and simplifies
the administrative tasks. Some of the important and common steps are useful
while deploying a Mobile Engine are:
Extract 3 -
Data container exists on one place
only in the mobile engine and hence during the process of data transfer, there
is no possibility of a data container being lost in the engine. Moreover, data
is not handed over to the other container if connection gets lost during
synchronisation process between mobile device and SAP system. In such situation
the data container stays on the mobile device and is sent automatically with
next synchronization. It also ensures that data has been transferred
successfully to the SAP system and vice-versa. Synchronization layer also
provides data security by using HTTP with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
