Generating C# Object API Code

Generate Object API code for Windows Mobile devices.

Prerequisites
  1. Connect to both the sampledb database and SAP Mobile Server. Code generation fails if the server-side (run-time) enterprise information system (EIS) data sources referenced by the MBOs in the project are not running and available to connect to when you generate object API code.
  2. Switch to the Advanced developer profile to see advanced options in SAP Mobile WorkSpace.
Task
  1. Start SAP Mobile WorkSpace, using the same workspace location you used when you created the SMP101 project in the MBO tutorial.
  2. In SAP Mobile WorkSpace, open the SMP101 mobile application project.
    In WorkSpace Navigator, right-click the SMP101 folder and select Open in Diagram Editor.
  3. In WorkSpace Navigator, expand SMP101. Under Generated Code, add a folder named WindowsMobile.
  4. Right-click anywhere in the SMP101 - Mobile Application Diagram and select Generate Code.
  5. On the Code generation configuration screen, click Next.
  6. Make sure the Customer and Sales_order MBOs are selected, then click Next.
  7. Enter the information for these configuration options:
    Option Description
    Language Select C#.
    Platform Select .NET Compact Framework 3.5 for Windows Mobile.
    Mobile Server Select My Mobile Server (or the server to which you deployed the SMP101 project, if you used another).
    Server domain Select default.
    Page size Select <blank> (replacing 1024).

    The page size should be larger than the sum of all attribute lengths for any MBO that is included with all the MBOs selected, and must be valid for the database. If the page size is not set, the default page size is 4KB at runtime.
    Namespace Enter SMP101WindowsMobile.
    Destination Enter \SMP101\Generated Code\WindowsMobile.
    Generate metadata classes Select for this tutorial to generate metadata for the attributes and operations of each generated client object.
