HTML5 CIS mobile is implemented in HTML5. This means that the application can be used on almost all mobile devices or laptops without having to download an app or to install any software. On the server we use Microsoft IIS with VB.NET. No further infrastructure is needed. |
MVC pattern CIS mobile uses the MVC (Model View Controller) software architecture pattern. For the user interface HTML5 and Javascript are the methods of choice. Modifications and add-ons can therefore easily be carried out with the help of an HTML editor. The application logic is implemented in VB.NET, mainly by using mapping from SAP ERP tables to object-oriented classes. The code is then executed on a Windows server via IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Services). This architecture allows us to use of a rich variety of tools and libraries for development and also to supervise a running CIS mobile application with standard tools. CIS mobile is based on the S10 framework from Synactive GmbH. You can find more details and also some sample applications at www.synactives10.com |
CIS mobile combines standard-technologies
CIS mobile is based on well-known and established technologies that are available in all modern versions of Windows server at no extra cost:
|
Architecture and data access
Here you can see a configuration where CIS mobile and the SAP Application Server run on different servers. It is also possible for both applications to use the same system. Secured access to SAP data with HTTPS |
Installation und configuration CIS mobile can usually be installed and configured within one day. |
Mobile device security
Logon to CIS mobile is only possible by using a valid SAP user name and password. Furthermore, a valid logon-ticket must be provided. An administrator can decide whether this is a common ticket for all users or if each user needs to request an individual ticket that will be sent to his or her e-mail address. This means that a CIS mobile user can be locked at any time without blocking the username in the SAP System. With CIS mobile the browser cache does not hold any application data; only HTML template files are stored in the browser cache. |
Speed, bandwith and data volume On the server CIS mobile makes use of many caching-techniques so that most of the data needs to be transferred to the mobile device only once. Therefore on accessing and requesting data with CIS mobile only a few kByte of data will be transferred to the device each time. |
