Sometimes SAP Mobile Server must asynchronously notify a
device application of changes it should be aware of. The mechanism for transmitting a push
notification depends on the device type.
The notification protocol depends on platform:
- For iOS devices, SAP Mobile Server uses the APNS
service. See Apple Push Notification Properties in
SAP Control Center
for SAP Mobile Platform.
- For Android devices, SAP Mobile Server uses the
GCM service. See Android Push Notification
Properties in SAP Control Center
for SAP Mobile Platform
- For BlackBerry devices, use the HTTP gateway push features of
the MDS servers to deliver the notification. See BlackBerry Push Notification Properties in
SAP Control Center
for SAP Mobile Platform.
- For other types, use target change notifications (push
notifications) in SAP Mobile Server. See SNMP Notifications in System Administration.
