Hi Everyone
I am looking for some information about the "true" offline capabilities of SMP applications.
I have been getting different information from different sources.
So I want to create an offline application which behaves in the following way:
1. I can access the application offline
2. I can view all data offline
3. I can edit data and save it offline
4. I can submit data offline
5. The application will "sync" with the back end when it comes back online.
From what I understand I have to write the functionality to do the above from scratch and I can only use a native approach according to SAP.
Is the above statement correct?
Does SMP (MBO's) provide any type of submission queuing functionality that is built in, that will sync with the server when it comes back online?
Do MBO's allow offline data editing and saving?
Is the above possible using oData proxy?
We have created a true offline capable HTML5 based app that runs in the HWC using a generic MBO, but we had to create it all from scratch, editing, saving and offline submission.
We also had to take into account the fact that windows phone uses a different db system than the other devices.
We store submissions of data in a database and trigger the submissions when the device comes back online or the app is restarted.
I want to know if I can use SMP to simplify the process, i.e. use built in offline functionality of MBO's or Odata.
Any ideas on views of the above are greatly appreciated.
