Importing an Application

Import the application from one SAP Mobile Platform Server environment to another. Many configuration settings are retained, but you must reconfigure some application settings for the target server environment.

Prerequisites
Before importing the ZIP file, ensure that it is available on the SAP Mobile Platform network.
Task
  • You can define or update an application during import. If the mapped authentication profile does not exist, the application is mapped to the “default” authentication profile. If the back-end configuration or mandatory passwords are missing, the application is marked as inconsistent, which means it is not ready for use.
  • Importing an application does not necessarily make it ready for use. Administrators must review the imported application, and make any necessary adjustments to make it consistent and ready to use.
  • For hybrid apps that use the AppUpdate plugin, you still need to manage the application version using Applications > App Spec Setting.
  • For Agentry applications, the imported application overwrites an existing version of the application. You must configure the imported application for the target server environment.
  1. From Management Cockpit, select Applications.
  2. Click Import.
  3. In Import Configuration, enter a file location. Click Browse, select the application configuration ZIP file, and click Open.
    • If any manual changes are made to an exported ZIP file, it cannot be successfully imported. A failure message appears during import.
    • Importing overwrites any existing application with the same ID.
    • The URL information, for example, back end or BES URLs, is not overwritten during import.
    Upon completion of a successful import, you see a summary message indicating the result for each imported component. Use the information to finish configuring the application for the target server environment.
