Purpose

Boost your user productivity with the solution that lets users track and manage SAP processes via notifications like notifying maintenance department about abnormal or exception activities in the plant area.

Liquid UI supports sending instance notification to Android devices. It enables the user to be notified when an action item has assigned or pending work is waiting to proceed. It supports “Automation Connection”, which navigates the user to target SAP screen from the notification with one click.

• To receive a notification, you need Liquid UI Enterprise license.
• Supported from Liquid UI Server version 3.5.567 and above.
• Supported from Liquid UI for Android version 2.0.33.0 and above.

Prerequisites

1. Request port to be open on the firewall:

   • Port 5228, 5229, and 5230.
   • GCM typically uses 5228, but it sometimes uses 5229 and 5230.
   • GCM doesn't provide specific IPs, so you should allow your firewall to accept outgoing connections to all IP addresses contained in the IP blocks listed in Google's ASN of 15169.

2. To activate Liquid UI Notification feature, you need to turn on display notification option in the Liquid UI for Android.
