Stage 2: Prepare

In the prepare stage you are preparing SAP Mobile Server to support mobile applications and serve data to them.

For SAP Mobile Server to support mobile applications requires that the server be prepared by configuring the server and deploying packages in a pre-production SAP Mobile Platform environment. Once the pre-production runtime environment is stable and package and application development complete, deploy the packages to the production environment hosts.
Note: Agentry applications have different steps in the prepare stage. For more information, see Creating Agentry Application Definitions in SAP Control Center for SAP Mobile Platform.
  1. Configuring Native Notification Environments
    If the application is using native push notifications, third-party environments need to be setup to channel notifications from SAP Mobile Server. Then, when the administrator enables native push in the application connection template, push notifications from SAP Mobile Server are delivered seamlessly
  2. Deploying Application Packages
    Object API or Hybrid applications require one or more packages. Packages are objects that control the data synchronization logic for an application. Deploying is the process whereby whole or part of an application package is loaded onto an SAP Mobile Server as one or more deployment units. Developers can deploy these packages to development environments, however administrators will control the deployment process for pre-production and production environments.
