Enabling Mobile Applications for Occasional Connection 

With this IT scenario variant, users of client devices can carry out their tasks without a permanent connection to the back-end system. The required applications and data are stored on the client devices. Data is exchanged between the client device and the DOE during synchronization.

You can use various tools and utilities to administer the IT scenario variant. These allow you to manage users, to configure mobile devices, to monitor synchronization, and to monitor your landscape.

Architecture of the Scenario Variant

The following figure provides an overview of the architecture of the scenario variant:

Numerous client devices can communicate with the back end via the DOE.

SAP NetWeaver Mobile client and the applications exist on the client devices. The usage type Mobile is installed on the SAP NetWeaver AS. Multiple back-end systems can be connected to the SAP NetWeaver AS. On the back end it is possible to install one or more applications.
