Detailed Architecture of SAP NetWeaver Mobile

DOE (Data Orchestration Engine)

It stages object instances from backend systems and distributes the object instances to occasionally connected devices. Updates to these data object instances (either in backend systems or mobile devices) are tracked and distributed to all affected data stores. Inside DOE there is one device queue for each physical device. During synchronization the information is picked by the device.

Mobile administrator

It is a portal in where you can create, manage and monitor devices.

Netweaver Developer studio

Development tool for developing Mobile applications. Separate plugging is available for laptop and PDA.

Mobile client

It is runtime environment for mobile components. It manages data access to local database and exchanges data with doe.

Now create a logical device on the DOE admin portal. Please select test device if you want to use it for testing purpose.

Creating a Test Device

logged on to the SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator portal

. Choose Administration.

2. Under Device Management, choose Device Administration.

3. In the Search Results section of the screen, choose Create.

4. In the Device name field, enter a name for the device.

Now click on the "Home" link, the screen will navigate to "Device Registration" screen .In this screen, enter the required details

Choose Register Device.

Choose Home, and then choose Synchronize.

Verify if the registration is successful by checking the device status in the SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator. To do this, perform the following steps:

a. Log on to the NetWeaver AS, and choose Mobile Administration ® Administration ® Device Management ® Device Administration

b. Search for the test device that you created.

c. In the Search Results table, choose the test device.

d. Verify that the Statusfield contains Registered

Roles assigned to user

To configure the SAP NetWeaver AS, assign the following roles to your user ID:

SAP_DOE_ADMINISTRATOR

SAP_DOE_TECH_ADMIN

To enable synchronization between the client and the DOE, assign the role SAP_DOE_SYNC_ROLE.

You need this role only if you are installing the SAP NetWeaver Mobile client on a device, and you want to synchronize the client with the DOE.

SDOE_DEV_REGISTER

In transaction SDOE_DEV_REGISTER, you can select the device attribute

that should be considered for registration. Additionally, you can

set the selected attributes as Mandatory for registration.

As part of this configuration, you can set attributes NAME, USER and

DEVICE_TYPE as relavant for registration and set them as Mandatory attributes.

Troubleshooting

> Check whether the Distribution Rules of SAP Basis 7.10 is activated not.If it is not activated, Activate all the Rules.

>Check whether SAP Basis 7.10 has turned operational or Not ( This can be checked under Administration ->Device Administration -> Distribution Model Software Component Version) . if it is not operational, then the authorization will not be downloaded to client.

>Also check whether the password you are entering during "SYNC" is same as the server password. Sync password and server password should be same.
