Technical functioning of sapconsole

[pascalsv]

Hi there,

I am currently writing my dissertation about mobile data acquiring at the university of Heidelberg.

In my paper I would like to compare the SAP-Console with third party products. To do so I need technical information about the functioning of the console, e.g. Telnet, IDOC, and the problems that occur due to this solution.

SAP seems to be too busy to help thus I am posting here, hoping to find someone being able to provide me with this information I need.

Thanks in advance,

Pascal Schmidt-Volkmar

Pascal,
We use Vertex Interactive's UMDC -Universal Mobile Data Collector. It is basically like SAP Console, except supports more screen controls. UMDC and SAP Console are screen translators. They take a SAP GUI screen, a dynpro, and convert it to work on a VT100/220 telnet screen. No middleware, no data storage, no IDocs. Basically any SAP screen can be translated to a telnet text screen, but the size limtations mean custom screens (or SAP's 40 RF Mobile screens) must be developed in SAP. RF devices are typically sized, lines and columns: 8x18, 20x26, 8x40. SAP Console, and the like, exchange SAP GUI screens with R/3 on one side and drive a telnet server on the other.

On an unrelated note, I am wondering if you attended LSE in 1999?

@Prosa: Yes, it would be very nice if you could send this information to pascalsv@spam_tauth.com. Please exclude the "_spam"!!


@Susan: (off-topic) Yes, I have attended LSE in 1999. And I used to know a very nice person there, called Susan....
