SAP NetWeaver Portal On Device – SAPPHIRE-NOW Recap

Dear SAPPHIRE attendees (and those who couldn’t make it this year…),

I would like to share with you some of the demos and highlights we showed two weeks ago at the SAPPHIRE-NOW conference about Portal On Device – consuming your SAP NetWeaver Portal on mobile devices.

As you probably already know, with the release of SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.30 SP7, the first out-of-the-box offering for consuming your SAP NetWeaver Portal on mobile devices was officially released. This includes two main aspects:

• End user – new out-of-the-box framework page designed for smartphone devices
• Administration – administrative wizards to configure the mobile iViews, pages, roles, device groups,…

In the recorded demo below, you can see a live system running on SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.30 SP7. The components used for this demo are:

• Portal On Device core capabilities:
  • Home pages
  • Launcher
  • Search
  • logon \ logoff
  • Toolbox – note that this capability is planned to be shipped to customers as part of the next SP (planned for Q4\2012)
• RSS iView readers (in the home pages) - custom development
• Workflow application consuming the items from the back-end system via SAP NetWeaver Gateway into an HTML5 based portal application - custom development
• Document list application retrieving documents stored in the SAP Knowledge Management (KM) - custom development
• Some addition reports and application that are not launched in the recorded demo

Disclaimer: please note that the applications shown above (RSS reader, Document explorer, Workflow) are demo applications used for demo purposes alone.

During SAPPHIRE we also shared with the audience a sneak preview of the tablet implementation planned to be released by Q4\2012. I will share this recorded demo later on, closer to the release of this enhancement.

See you all at TechEd, where we are planning several hands-on sessions for these exact capabilities.
