Deploying Packages while Creating a Deployment Profile

Deploy a mobile deployment package and optionally create a deployment profile to store a deployment scenario that can be executed multiple times.

Prerequisites 

A connection profile to at least one Unwired Server must be available before you deploy mobile deployment packages to a server.

Following these instructions you can:


  • Deploy a mobile deployment package without creating a deployment profile, Or
  • Deploy a mobile deployment package and create a reusable deployment profile.
  1. Launch the Mobile Deployment Package wizard by Right-clicking the mobile deployment package ( the file with the .suppkgdef extension) and selecting Deploy Package.
  2. Enter the deployment mode for the package and enter a target version (including the package namespace) and click Next.
  3. Select a target Unwired server for the package and click Next.
  4. (Optional) Map connection profile to server connection. Allows you to map connection profiles used for development to an appropriate server-side connection. For example, your development environment might permit access to certain systems that the Unwired Server prohibits. To map the connection profile to a server connection select the connection profile from the list of available connection profiles then select the corresponding server connection to which it maps.
    Note: You cannot map data source types where a server connection is not used (for example, files), or the data source does not contain runtime connection information ( for example, Web services).
  5. Map logical roles to physical roles. Click Next.
  6. (Optional) Specify the name and location for the new deployment profile:
    • Save the deployment settings as a deployment profile – if you do not save your settings to a deployment profile, they are lost when you exit the Deploy Package wizard.
    • Enter or select the parent folder – by default, Deployment is the folder in which the deployment profile is saved.
    • File name – the name of this deployment profile. The deployment profile is assigned a .deploy extension.
  7. Click Finish to deploy the mobile deployment package to the Unwired server's Packages folder, and save the information in a deployment profile.
