Deploying MBO Packages

Deploying is the process whereby whole or part of a mobile package is loaded onto an SAP Mobile Server as one or more deployment units. SAP Mobile Server can then make these units accessible to users via a client application that is installed on a mobile device. There a different methods you can use to deploy an MBO package to SAP Mobile Server.

Prerequisites
If your developers have created a custom filter for the mobile business object you are deploying, you must copy class files to the primary server before you deploy the package that uses those filters. If you copy the filters to a slave server by mistake, they are deleted when you deploy the package to the primary server.

To locate the name of the master, look at the server list in SAP Control Center. If a particular server is the master server of a cluster, it will be labeled as "primary" in the left navigation pane.

Task

Because the deployment unit file contains package name and other information, you do not need to select a package from the list of available packages; SAP Mobile Server creates the package automatically according to what has been defined in the deployment file.
