Develop MBO-based Hybrid Apps

Develop Hybrid Apps using mobile business objects (MBO) to define object data models with back-end enterprise information system (EIS) connections, attributes, operations, and relationships.

A project in SAP Mobile WorkSpace must contain the MBOs to use in your application. See SAP Mobile WorkSpace - Mobile Business Object Development.

The JavaScript APIs in the Mobile SDK are located in <SMP_HOME>\UnwiredPlatform\MobileSDK<version>\HybridApp\API. It is split into two categories:

Container – these APIs are fundamentally independent of the UI framework you choose to use (if any). There is no reference to screens. These APIs are considered mandatory when building your Hybrid App.
AppFramework – these APIs are an optional add-on to the Container APIs that give you functionality to navigate between screens, represent the messages sent to and from the server in developer-friendly form, and bind the UI to and from those messages automatically. These APIs do make some assumptions about how your UI is constructed/manipulated, and those assumptions are not necessarily true for all UI frameworks, Sencha among them.

Creating a Mobile Application Project
A mobile application project is the container for the mobile business objects that forms the business logic of mobile applications.
Developing a Mobile Business Object
You can define attributes and operations of a mobile business object (MBO) without immediately binding them to a data source, define them from and bind them to a data source, or create an MBO that does not bind to a data source (local business object, or uses only DCN as the refresh mechanism).
Deploying a Mobile Application Project
Deploy a Mobile Application project directly to an SAP Mobile Server, and optionally create a reusable deployment profile.
MBO Examples
This section shows examples of how to implement different patterns and functionality. These are examples only. You must modify the procedures based on the actual MBOs, object queries, and parameters you are using.
Generating JavaScript MBO Access API
Generate JavaScript API for MBOs to use in your custom code.
Processing Responses From the Server
There are a couple of approaches for handling callback functions.
Error Handling
Usually, errors come from the Hybrid Web Container or from the back-end server side.
URL Parameters
When writing your own HTML and JavaScript, when the document is loaded, these URL parameters are present.
