Boa tarde..
O post de hoje é sobre um assunto que nunca foi tratado antes aqui. A empresa alemã SAP é uma gigante internacional líder global de mercado em soluções de negócios colaborativas e multiempresas. Lendo despretensiosamente sobre a empresa e suas tecnolgias, descobri um tal de SAP Mobile. Depois de ler um pouco mais descobri a tecnologia SAP Mobile Infrastructure. Depois disso fiquei ainda mais interessado, descobrindo este interessante link.
Nesse site encontrei algumas informações importantíssimas:
The SAP Mobile Infrastructure (SAP MI) is a technology solution of SAP NetWeaver on which SAP Solutions for Mobile Business is based. With SAP MI, however, you can also make applications that are not SAP-based mobile. SAP MI is installed locally on a mobile device and is equipped with a Web server, a database layer and its own business logic. Staff working remotely can therefore work offline and do not have to wait for a network connection to complete time-critical business applications. SAP MI offers tools for synchronization and data replication that make the data of the mobile device consistent with that of the back end.
SAP MI is based on the following open industry standards:
· Java
· eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
SAP MI is also equipped with a Java virtual machine and offers an open programming model with which mobile applications can be developed. This open system architecture makes the platform independent of both the mobile devices and the network and supports mobile devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), laptops and Smart Phones. SAP MI can run on both a standard browser and on a user interface that is not based on a browser.
A SAP utiliza uma linguagem própria, chamada ABAP. O interessante do SAP MI é a possibilidade de criar aplicativos mobile sem usar a linguagem da ABAP, no seu lugar, usamos Java ou XML.
Outro trecho importante da matéria diz o seguinte:
SAP MI offers an open programming model with a copious JavaServer Pages (JSP) library for developing mobile applications. Examples of mySAP Mobile Business applications based on the SAP MI are:
· SAP Mobile Sales
· SAP Mobile Asset Management
· SAP Mobile Time and Travel
A complete list of the mySAP Mobile Business applications can be found in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/mobile. SAP MI also supports the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) platform. AWT is part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) and provides Java developers with a framework and routines for graphic user interfaces.
Legal essa história de poder utilizar JSP e AWT. Também achei irado a possibilidade de construir aplicativos para browser ou interfaces gráficas. Além de descobrir que existe até um SDK pro SAP MI. O nome dessa ferramenta é SAP Mobile Development Kit (MDK).
Talvez esteja sendo redundante para algumas pessoas, porém, para mim essas informações foram muito interessantes, por isso resolvi criar o post.
Att.
