Deploying MBO Packages

Deploying is the process whereby whole or part of a mobile package is loaded onto an SAP Mobile Server as one or more deployment units. SAP Mobile Server can then make these units accessible to users via a client application that is installed on a mobile device. There are different methods you can use to deploy an MBO package to SAP Mobile Server.

Deploy packages to SAP Mobile Server to test and refine configuration settings in a development environment.

After a package has been deployed, configured, tested, and refined in a development SAP Mobile Server environment, it can be transported to a QA or production server environment using export and import. This ensures that the package configuration settings on the source server are moved to the target server.

Deploying an MBO Package with the Deploy Wizard
Use the Deploy wizard to deploy an existing MBO package or to create an MBO package from a deployment unit file.
Transporting Packages Between Environments with Export and Import
If you are trying to transfer deployment packages among disparate server environments, you can export packages from one server environment before importing them into another one. This sequence of events is typically performed by administrators when transporting packages from a development local server environment to a test network environment, or from a test or pilot environment to production cluster environment.
