Can the customer use 3rd party software (MS SMS, Tivoli, NetInstall etc.) to distribute MI client and application software to the mobile devices?
Customers can use such software only for initial installation of MI Client and the Java Runtime Environment on the mobile devices. For mobile applications, MI patches, driver packages etc. usage of such software is not supported by SAP. Using an unsupported workaround though, it is technically possible to use such software nonetheless for distributing mobile applications, MI patches, driver packages etc.
