Use

To enable support for multiple languages for SyncBOs of type Timed 2-Way (T01) or Back-end Driven (T51), you must define the language container structure that contains the data in multiple languages.

Note

For SyncBOs of type 2-Way (S01), multiple language support is available without the steps described here.

Prerequisites

●      The SyncBO must have the structure described in Structuring SyncBOs for Multiple Language Support.

●      There must not be defined any logon language for the RFC destination used to connect to the back end. The logon language defined there would override the language of the mobile device, and the data in the back end would not be created in the language of the mobile device.

●      The GetDetailBAPI wrapper in the back end must have the following properties:

¡        For a header with language dependent fields, there must be a separate table containing key fields of the header along with the language field (whose domain must be SPRAS) as primary key and all language dependent fields.

¡        For items with language dependent fields, there must be a separate table containing the key fields of the item along with the language field (whose domain must be SPRAS) as primary key and all language dependent fields.

¡        The GetDetail BAPI wrapper must return the original language dependent fields with the default language, and also the data in all languages the application supports.

·        The Create BAPI wrapper must create back-end data in the language of the mobile device, and the necessary conversion to other languages must be performed in the back end.

·        The Modify BAPI wrapper must modify the back-end data in the language of the mobile device.
