Using Netweaver Gateway Development Tool for XCode and Gateway 2.0 SP03

I recently downloaded the Linux pre-configured gateway trail along with the developer tool for XCode and ran into some issues that none of my newly created services were being displayed in the service list from the tool. 

After doing some digging it seems the tool was originally developed for Gateway 2.0 SP02 and currently does not seem to support SP03 perfectly. When trying to discover the services it is checking the SData ICF Node versus the OData node which is where all services are defined for Gateway 2.0 SP03. Whats even more odd, is that the services show up only when the new OData Node is completely disabled.

If you are having issues discovering the services you have created (possibly in one of the awesome pre-configured gateway trials) open up the /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE Tcode and try to disable the OData ICF Node. By default the services are created with both SData and OData nodes for backwards compatibility. Then refresh your services in the tool to check if the service is now available. read more

Enterprise Mobility Newsletter – April 23rd 2012

The SAP Netweaver Gateway 2.0 Developer Tool for XCode was released a little while ago after showing up at a Innojam event and Vishal demo’ed it back in 2010 at TechEd, but after multiple attempts at getting just a basic app to function from start to finish has been a challenging one. http://scn.sap.com/community/netweaver-gateway/blog/2012/04/23/using-netweaver-gateway-development-tool-for-xcode-and-gateway-21 for one of the issues I ran into.

Apple configurator is a new product recently released and updated (v 1.0.1) which runs on OSX Lion gives mobility admins a basic MDM platform for deploying and managing apple devices in the enterprise. This is perfect for a small company where some basic management features are needed within the mobility space. You can read a little more about the software here. Apple also recently updated the Apple Configurator which allows you to create and deploy profiles for iPhone, iPad and iTouch devices. These profiles contain security policies, email account settings and certificates enabling enterprise integration. The new version of the software is 3.5 and adds policy restrictions for Siri, voice dialing and photo stream to name a few. You can check the out the change log here. read more

Memorable Rounds: Golfweek Amateur Tour

Played on the Golfweek Amateur Tour for just over 5 8 years and made some great friends and buddies playing some of the best courses in and around the Carolinas, including a few trips to Nationals in Hilton Head. I was seriously hooked on the world of amateur competitive golf!

Integrating Apple Siri with SAP Gateway

After hearing about folks hacking Apple’s Siri to do things like starting their Viper and controlling their thermostat, I thought about utilizing voice based integration with SAP to retrieve data. By default, Apples technology is pretty well locked down, but it didn’t take long for a developer to introduce a small workaround using a ruby app and a DNS filter. The filter intercepts the call to apple and allows you to inject your own questions, responses and data. If you are interested in learning more, this summary can guide you through the process of setting up and actually communicating with SAP from Siri.
