Can BaaN Vc can be interfaced with PDAs? What is the Hardware/Software requirement for the same?

Is there any security mechanism (data encryption) while the BaaN Data is transferred over the WAN using BaaN sessions?

Idem, how i can do this???

hello,

i have had integrated baan IV c with PDT (poratble data terminal) using ascii file for transactions such as
1.MRN
2.RPL
3.EDI -PO
4.Inv adj
5.,locators (customization)
but extension as .dat so as user must not open (double click).

I know very good, but Baan has DDC Applications.

Hi amealo,

Yes, thats True Baan support C language - you can check the examples quoted in "BSE$\api\examples" .

You could give it a try - if you are a good c programmer for integrating with PDT's.

Regards,
Sushil Kumar Mudaliar

its pretty difficult and very time consuming to make a robust solution for mobile devices. Better to pick something with off-the-shelf functionality that can be up and running in a few weeks, plenty of customers are using RF Gateway for Baan. Details at http://www.arcgateway.com

Hi,

Just PM me your mail id - i shall mail you the dotnet src code for PDA integration ??.

BR,
Sushil Kumar Mudaliar

Hi,

Please find the Source code in C for PDA's that i had developed for unitech PT-100 - Long back.
