Configuring Native Notifications

(Does not apply to Agentry SDK clients) Configure a new or edit an existing native notification properties for an application based on application ID and domain.

  1. In the navigation pane of SAP Control Center, expand the Applications node and select the application.
  2. Select the Push Configurations tab and click Add.
  3. Configure the native configuration settings:
    1. Name - name of the configuration.
    2. Domain - the domain to which the configuration applies. A domain can have only one configuration for Apple (APNS) or Google (GCM) type notifications, but can have multiple Blackberry (BES) type configurations. .
      Note: You must specify a domain when configuring push notifications for a Hybrid Web Container application.
    3. Type - the type of notification service determines the other configuration properties.
  4. Configure native notification properties for the type of notification service you are enabling and click OK.
  5. Define the notification mode for the application.
    • To set the notification mode for a specific application connection template of the application, select the Application Connection Templates tab, and select the application connection template.
    • To set the notification mode for a specific application connection, select the Application Connections tab, and select the application connection.
    1. Select Properties.
    2. Select Application Settings.
    3. Select a value for Notification Mode that determines the way in which the notifications are delivered to the device:
      • Only native notifications - send notifications through native third party channels only (APNS for Apple devices, GCM for Android devices, BES for BlackBerry devices, and so on). Devices registered by the REST API only support native notification, because these applications do not have access to the client libraries required to receive a payload push notification.
      • Only Payload(Online) push - send reliable push messages (with business data as payload) through SAP Mobile Platform messaging channel only when the device is online. This mode is not supported for device registered by the REST API.
      • Payload(Online) push with native notification - send reliable push messages (with business data as payload) through SAP Mobile Platform messaging channel when the device is online, and use native notification through third party channels only if the device is off-line. This mode is not supported for device registered by the REST API.
