Creating Agentry Application Definitions

Create an Agentry application definition by providing general application properties such as the application ID, description, security configuration and domain details. You can also deploy the application file to the SAP Mobile Server.

  1. In the left navigation pane of SAP Control Center, click the Applications node and select the Applications tab in the right administration pane.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter a unique Application ID.
    • SAP recommends that application IDs contain a minimum of two dots ("."). For example, the following ID is valid:com.sap.mobile.app1.
    • Application IDs cannot start with a dot ("."). For example, the following ID is invalid: .com.sap.mobile.app1.
    • Application IDs cannot have two consecutive dots ("."). For example, the following ID is invalid: com..sap.mobile.app1.
  4. Select Agentry as the Client SDK type.
  5. The Security configuration and Domain are preselected and cannot be changed.
    The Agentry security configuration is a predefined security configuration assigned to the "default" domain. It uses the NoSecLoginModule. This provider forwards login requests to the Agentry Server instance for authentication.
  6. (Optional) Select Application file and browse to select the file. You can select:
    • .agp files – Agentry application definition files.
    • .agpz files – zip files containing Agentry application definition files and additional development artifacts.
    • .zip files – files that have been created from existing Agentry application definitions in SAP Control Center by downloading specific Agentry metadata.
  7. If you are deploying the application file as part of application creation, specify the Active time for the application.
    You can activate the application immediately or at a specific date and time in the future. Selecting Immediate makes the application available to end users immediately, as long as the application is enabled.
  8. Specify whether to Enable after deployment.
    Selecting this option automatically starts the Agentry Server instance for this application as soon as the application file is deployed (the Agentry Server instance status is RUNNING). If the application file has not been deployed, setting this option starts the Agentry Server instance without the application information (the Agentry Server instance status is RUNNING WITHOUT METADATA). If you do not select this option, you must manually enable the application before you can start the Agentry Server instance
  9. Click OK to complete the application definition. Depending on the application definition:
    • The application file is deployed.
    • The Agentry Server instance is started.
    • The application is available for end users.
    Note: Any deploy errors or warnings are recorded in the SAP Mobile Server log. This log is located in SMP_HOME\Servers\UnwiredServer\logs\<hostname>-server.log or can be viewed in SAP Control Center under Servers > primaryServer > Log .
