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 .
- For Agentry applications, the imported application overwrites an existing version
of the application. You must configure the imported application for the target
server environment.
- From Management Cockpit, select
Applications.
- Click
Import.
- 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.
