Creating a Standard-Based Interface for the DOE

Prerequisites

In the DOE, you have created the data objects and the distribution models that are required for your mobile application.

More Information: Defining Data Objects and Distribution for Mobile Applications

Context

You use this procedure to create an open and standard interface for the DOE. You can use this interface later to connect to any client that is compatible with this interface.

Procedure

Model a mobile entity collection (MEC) to group entities such as software component versions, data objects, distribution models, projections, authorizations, and back-end search data required for the mobile application.

More Information: Modeling a Mobile Entity Collection
Activate the MEC to allow the system to perform consistency checks with the DOE runtime, the back-end search, and the business application programming interface (BAPI) wrappers.

More Information: Activating a Mobile Entity Collection
If you want to reuse the MEC on a different client, then generate the MEC again to allow the system to create runtime transformations, tables, and WSDL files.

More Information: Generating a Mobile Entity Collection

Note

The WSDLs generated are not dependent on the client for the standard channel.
In the MEC modeler, release the MEC to ship it to a production system.

Note

If necessary, you can add more entities to a MEC that is released. However, the system then creates a new version of the MEC.

Results

You have generated the MEC that can be downloaded to create mobile applications.
