Define back-end connections for the selected Agentry application after
publishing the
application.
Before then, the Back End tab is blank. The application developer creates initial back-end
connection settings during development, and then publishes the application to SAP Mobile Platform Server. Once you publish the
application,
you must modify the initial back-end connection values for the SAP Mobile Platform environment.
Communication between
SAP Mobile Platform Server and the back-end system is represented within the
application by the back-end connection type. Each type of back end has its own
configuration options. Back-end connection types include:
- SQL database connections (both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle) – between the
Agentry application and a single SQL database
- Java Virtual Machine connections – between the Agentry application and custom
code (use this option to connect to SAP from Agentry via custom Java code)
- HTTP-XML Server (Web Service) connections – between the Agentry application and
an XML-based Web service (use this option to connect to SAP from Agentry via web
services)
- File system connections – between the Agentry application and a file system
Note: Before your Agentry application can communicate with some back-end systems,
you need to set up Agentry application host server connectivity.
