"About the Deployment of EnterpriseOne 9.1.2 Mobile Applications"
An EnterpriseOne 9.1.2 mobile applications deployment supports:
EnterpriseOne application security for authorizing user access to mobile applications.
For more information about application security for mobile applications, see Configuring Support for EnterpriseOne Application Security for 9.1.2 Mobile Applications in this guide.
JAX-RPC based and JAX-WS based business services.
Note:
Support of JAX-WS based business services requires running a minimum of EnterpriseOne Tools release 9.1.2.4.The use of the native camera feature with the Mobile Expense Management application for iOS and Android mobile device users.
Support of the native camera feature enables users to attach photos of receipts or other documents in the Mobile Expense Management application. To use this feature, users must download the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Mobile Applications application on their mobile device and run the Mobile Expense Management application from this application. See "Understanding Photo Attachments" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Functionality for Mobile Devices Implementation Guide for more information. See the following section for information about the deployment requirements for supporting this feature.
If you have an existing mobile applications deployment with EnterpriseOne 9.1 and you want to install 9.1.2 mobile applications, you must install and deploy 9.1.2 mobile applications on a new domain following the instructions in this guide. After configuring and testing the deployment on the new domain, you can direct pre-9.1.2 mobile applications users to switch over to the 9.1.2 mobile applications.
Important:
You cannot install and deploy 9.1.2 mobile applications in an existing pre-9.1.2 mobile applications configuration.In preparation for a 9.1.2 mobile applications installation and deployment, you must download:
EnterpriseOne ESUs, which enable support for 9.1.2 mobile applications in EnterpriseOne.
9.1.2 Mobile Foundation.
9.1.2 mobile applications.
See Prerequisites - Mobile Application Downloads (Release 9.1.2 Update) in this guide for information about the required downloads.
To support the use of the native camera feature on iOS and Android devices for Mobile Expense Management users, in addition to installing and deploying the 9.1.2 mobile applications, you must:
Deploy a JAX-WS business services package on the Business Services Server.
Make sure that Media Object Settings on the Business Services Server are configured to support media object operations. See "Configuring the Business Services Server for Media Object Operations" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Business Services Server Reference Guide for more information about these settings.
