MBO Packages

MBO packages are collections of MBOs that are related by application use and authorship and grouped according to maintenance or distribution. Packages are initially created by developers, but are deployed and maintained on a production SAP Mobile Server by administrators.

Administrators cannot change the name of a package if one has been defined by the development team. If the development team has changed the version number of an existing package due to an upwardly incompatible change, it creates a new package when it is deployed. In this case, leave both versions of the package running until every one of the remote client applications has been upgraded to the latest version; only then should you delete the old package version. For more information about upwardly incompatible changes, see Supported Changes for Update Deployment in SAP Mobile WorkSpace - Mobile Business Object Development.

• 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.
