SAP for Mobile: Blag's experiments with SMP- Volume 1

Posted byAlvaro Tejada Galindo14 Mar, 2012

If you know me...you know I love to build blog series...but this time, I'm not going to talk

about PHP, Ruby or Python. I'm going to talk about SMP and what can we do with it. Of

course, being this my first blog on the matter, I will start with a very basic program, that will

read a public web service and return us some information back.

First off all...I gotta admit that I based myself on the great video series created by my friend

and team mate Ingo Sauerzapf.

For this blog, I'm using the Developer Center for SMP. So the first thing is to open some

application in order: Start Sybase Unwired Platform, MD5, 9800, Sybase Control Center and

Sybase Unwired WorkSpace.

SAP for Mobile: Blag's experiments with SMP - Volume 1

When we log into the Sybase Control Center, we must create a user for our application.

3/17



3

After we have created our user, we can move to the BlackBerry emulator and choose the

"Workflow" application. Which is going to be of course empty, so we need to configure it by

going to it's settings.


4/17



4

We're using the same User Name and Activation Code that we used on the Sybase Control

Center. Next step is to open the Sybase Unwired WorkSpace and create a new Mobile

Application Project and call it "Weather_Convertion". (I know...I have a typo...should be

Conversion...but I have all the pictures taken, so you guys corrected when creating your

applications).

We must create an Mobile Business Object and name it "Weather_Object".


5/17



5

As we're going to use a Web Service, we need to choose it as the Data Source and create a

Profile for it, which is basically provide the Web Service to use. We're going to use this one:

http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL It's important that we

change the default String value on the Attributes Mapping to (3)...because 100 it's just too

much

Next step is to create a Personalization Key which we will call CelsiusPK.


6/17



6

On our Mobile Business Object, we should go to the attributes, and then load arguments to

establish the personalization key we just created.

After that, a simple right click to Deploy Project would be more than enough.

7/17



7

We're now ready for the next step, which should be the "GUI" to call it in a way...let's create

a Mobile Workflow Forms Editor object and call it Weather_Convertion (Again...sorry

for the typo), here it's important to check the first checkbox, which will state that our

application can be started on demand. When everything is ready, we need drag and drop

our Weather_Object into our Form Editor environment.


8/17



8

We it's done, we can double click on the "Start Screen" and add a Menu Item with the name

"Get Fahrenheit", with the following options.


9/17



9

We need to link this to our Weather_Object, so let's search it and call it's query operation.

Also we can Generate an error screen and set the default success screen, which is the

screen which should be shown is everything went right.


10/17



10

It's very important to go to the Personalization Key Mapping and link the Personalization Keywith the Object Key.

With that set...we can right click and call the "Generate Mobile Workflow Package...". And

we can even assign our application to work only for certain users.


11/17



11

Without a single line of code, we can test our little application and confirm that it's working

just fine...

I hope you liked this first blog, even when it's really basic...I promise that my next blog is

going to be really nice...might take me a while, as it's not easy, but I'm sure it's going to be

something worth to wait for

Grande Blag!

The URL i had to change it from ...WDSL-->...WSDL to make it work

Great and easy example (for rookies like me)

Thanks Daniel! Small typo I already fixed the link...

Nice Blog Blag

16 Mar, 2012 12:25 PM Alvaro Tejada Galindo Mark Teichmann in response to

Mark:

I'm glad you liked my blog...you must go to the Developer Center:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/10ce4cc7-b924-2f10-f6a8-c381861a927d

A click on "Request Access to SUP" under the Build categorie.

Greetings,

I already tried that some days earlier but I could not provide an access code. Although Icould submit the form I did not get an answer until now.

But the link 'Request access to SUP' comes with a comment '(with access code only)'.

Now I would like to know where I could get this access code?


Let me check and I will come back to you

Greetings,

Blag.


Mark:

I just checked with my teammates...your request will be processed, but you need to bepatient as we had Pre-DKOM on San Jose and an InnoJam in Bangalore

Great. Thank you for your help!

Hi Blag,

i have followed your sample but when i call 'GetFahreneit' i obtain the following message

from Android Emulator :

it's not possible to load file:///.......UnwiredPlatform\Servers\MessagingServer\bin\WorkFlowClient.dll access denied .....

Have you some idea?

Thanks

Marco

Pasquale:

I'm not much of an Android user...so I always use the BlackBerry emulator...I tried with

the Android one and for me it's working just fine...have you tried with the BB one? Do youhave the same error? All the images on the Dev Center are based on a master image, so

basically yours and mine are the same...are you sure you follow the steps correctly?
