WEB Apps
Service description
WEB Apps run on any device with an Internet connection and a current Internet
browser. This could be mobile devices for stocktaking as well as PC's and devices
for data collection (attendance or job times)
There is no theoretical limit how many mobile devices can be run per server:
It depends on the type of application.
Attention: You need all Rights on your System. If you work with Windows 7, then set the
User Account Control to “never” !

for communication.
Unzip c:\program files\beas software\beas\program\beasweb\beasweb.zip and copy
files into the HTML-folder of your WEB-Server and create an additional folder
BEASWEB. Access to all sub-folders of BEASWEB is required.
In case of using a PHP-server, delete all JSP-files, If using Java-Server, delete all
PHP-files.

On an external PHP-Server diverse beas-WEB-Connectors are installed.
There is no direct connection between the client and the local SAP B1 / be.as
– Installation. No need to open a firewall.

WEB Apps
Configuration with external PHP-Server
Unzip c:\program files\beas software\beas\program\beasweb\beasweb.zip and copy all
files using a ftp-client to the HTML-folder of your WEB-server. Create a new folder
BEASWEB. Access on all subdirectories of BEASWEB is required.
https (Connector)
|_ beasweb (directory for communication, full access)
|_ Static
|_ gfx
|_ design
Delete alle JSP-files, because these are only needed running a Java-Server.
Logon to the server using a Console-Program (eg. Putty), change to the directory
above and release it:
chmod 777 beasweb
© beas group 2011 / Page 22
WEB Apps
Configuration with external PHP-Server
The following files are needed:
index.php
called up by the client
connectorread.php sends all client´s requests (index.php) to beas service
connectorwrite.php receives answers from beas service and sends via index.php
to the client
common.php
contains access password
admin.php
there the password can be changed (write access needed)
m3090.php
instead of index.php m3090.php can be used. Then, WEBAPPs are
displayed in a Motorola 3090-Frame (for presentation purpose)

WEB Apps
Configuration with external PHP-Server
Server setup:
WEB-Server = external Server PHP
URL-Connector = location of index.php
Example: http://myserver.com/myportal
Connector-Password: password for connector
Set the same Password in common.php
and send this file to your external php-Server
