Creating an Online Request Menu Item or Custom Action

Create a menu item, or custom action that performs an online request for synchronous calls to SAP Mobile Server, which means the device client waits for a response from the server.

Prerequisites
In the Hybrid App Designer Screen Design page, add a Menu Item or Custom Action.
Task
  1. Select the new item to display its properties.
  2. Configure the properties in the General tab. If the operation is associated with a mobile business object (MBO), specify the MBO and configure the remaining properties in the Details section.
  3. In the Parameter Mappings tab, optionally click Edit to modify any mappings that bind the MBO operation or object query to keys.
    For information about how parameters map to MBO operations and queries, see WorkflowClient.xml File in Developer Guide: Hybrid Apps.
  4. In the Personalization Key Mappings tab, optionally map a personalization key to a key.
    You can also fill the personalization key values from values extracted from the notification, depending on where you invoke the object query from.
  5. In the Output Keys tab, optionally specify keys that are filled from the server and returned to the client by the selected action.
  6. Click File > Save.
