Documentation Issues and Updates for SAP Mobile SDK

The statement "The contents of the data vault are strongly encrypted using AES-256" is incorrect. It should read "AES-128".

Applies to: Developer Guide: iOS Object API Applications > Client Object API Usage > Security APIs > SUPDataVault.

The note in Supported Hardware and Software > SAP Mobile SDK Requirements > Supported Platforms and Development Environments > HTML5/JS Hybrid Apps should read:

If the delete operation has old value arguments, you also need to set old values for parent and child MBOs. Assuming the delete operation has old value arguments, and the data (1 department and 2 employee) has been inserted into back end, the sample code in steps 2 and 3 should be as follows:

Step 2.

  if ( workflowMessage.getRequestAction() === Department.findByPrimaryKeyAction){
  	          		
  	                 var employees = workflowMessage.getValues().getData('Department_employees').value;
  	        	       	                 
  	                 if ( workflowMessage.getValues().getData('Department_dept_id_attribKey').getValue()== '2'){
  	  		         	var dep = new Department();
  	        	    	dep.dept_id=workflowMessage.getValues().getData('Department_dept_id_attribKey').getValue();
						dep.dept_head_id=workflowMessage.getValues().getData('Department_dept_head_id_attribKey').getValue();      			
  	          	        dep.dept_name=workflowMessage.getValues().getData('Department_dept_name_attribKey').getValue();

        	            oldDep.dept_head_id=workflowMessage.getValues().getData('Department_dept_head_id_attribKey').getValue();

Current Web Service MBO limitations are:

The SAP Mobile Platform WSDL/XSD parser generates SAP Mobile Platform structure types for <complexType> schema elements and attempts to map user defined <simpleType> elements and schema built-in types into SAP Mobile Platform primitive types. For example, the schema type <xsd:integer> maps to the SAP Mobile Platform INTEGER type. However, there are schema types that are not directly supported by SAP Mobile Platform, and for these types the Sybase Unwired Platform WSDL/XSD parser maps them to the Sybase Unwired Platform STRING type. For example, the schema built-in type <xsd:union> is not directly supported by SAP Mobile Platform and therefore appears as a SAP Mobile Platform STRING type attribute.

Recursive definitions are ignored by the parser.

BES (hosted or not)

Workaround: When referring to the "BlackBerry Enterprise Server Requirements" table in BES Requirements topic in Mobile Application Life Cycle, include this row as the last row in that table:

onHttpCommunicationError returns an unexpected code

In an environment configured for SiteMinder authentication, the expectation is that onHttpCommunicationError is called back for error condition 302. This condition is not currently fulfilled by the Windows and Windows Mobile platforms; instead, they return 404 errors.
