DOE Development

Feature	Type of Change	Description
Reuse of distribution model	New	SWCVs shipped by SAP can be extended or modified by customers. In the earlier release, users could only enhance data objects in the SAP-shipped SWCVs. Now, with this feature, you can also extend distribution models in the SAP-shipped SWCVs. More information: Extending the DM in an SWCV
Back-End Adapter Creation	Enhanced	BAPI wrappers are assigned to a data object in the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE). Data objects might not be assigned with create, modify or delete BAPI wrappers. In such a scenario, the DOE sends a message to the client if the client tries to create, modify or delete the data. With this release, the developer can choose the type of message that must be sent to the client when creating the BAPI wrapper. The DOE can send a confirmation or rejection message to the client. More information: Creating a Back-End Adapter
Synchronous association pull	New	The DOE can get the values of associated data objects from the back-end system and send it to the client. More information: Modelling a Synchronous Association-Pull Scenario
Static filter definitions	Enhanced	Developers can create static filters using operators in addition to the equal operator (EQ). These enhancements allow developers to define static filters for a wider range of scenarios. More information: Creating a Distribution Dependency
Back-end gateways for DOE	New	Using the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE), you can exchange data with multiple back ends. In the DOE, you configure the data objects to be gateway-enabled, you can extend the gateway meta model, and define gateway rules and dependencies. More information: Creating and Editing Gateway Rules
Function modules for identifying SWCV-related information for devices	New	In the back-end system, an application may have to access SWCV-related information from the data orchestration engine (DOE). For this purpose, the DOE provides a list of function modules that the back-end system can call through an RFC. More information: Function Modules for Obtaining SWCV-Related Information
Web Service Back-End Adapters	New	Web service adapters are used to exchange information between non-SAP/external back-end systems and the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE). The Web service adapter maps a data object's node attributes to the corresponding fields in the business data in the back-end system. More information: Creating Web Service Back-End Adapters
Enhancing design time logging to cover all objects	Enhanced	This functionality allows you to log the activities while creating, deleting, or modifying the design-time objects such as data objects, distribution models, back-end adapters, custom services, distribution packages, package variants, package adapter, custom groups to enhance receiver meta models (RMM), and flow definitions.

Mobile Applications for Laptops

Feature	Type of Change	Description
Information on synchronization callback	New	APIs are provided for applications to receive the following information: Synchronization protocol (HTTP/ HTTPS/ data carrier) Type of synchronization (manual or background) Amount of data uploaded to the DOE during the last synchronization. More information: SAP NetWeaver Mobile Java docs, which you can access at http://help.sap.com/javadocs/
Explicit invalidation of model	New	Mobile applications are provided with an API that commits the current session of an application but does not validate the query wrappers in the session. More information: SAP NetWeaver Mobile Java docs, which you can access at http://help.sap.com/javadocs/
Data Encryption	Enhanced	When using data carrier synchronization on a mobile client for laptops, the client allows you to encrypt and sign the data. This ensures greater data security. You can use your own security libraries for encrypting and signing the data,. With this release, SAP NetWeaver Mobile provides the security interface that your security libraries must implement. The mobile client recognizes only those libraries that implement the security interface provided by SAP. More information: Implementing Security Interface on the Client
Mobile client status monitor	New	When you install the mobile client for laptops, the monitor is also installed and appears in the system tray as an icon. More information: Status Monitor for the Mobile Client
