Installing the Agentry SDK

Prerequisites

The following items must be addressed prior to performing this procedure:

This SDK is provided for development purposes and it is assumed the person installing these components understands the development of ActiveX controls, and/or inter process communications in Windows Mobile environments. If such items are not needed for your implementation, then this SDK need not be installed and is not needed for any other mobile application development using the Agentry Editor or other components of the SAP Mobile SDK.
This SDK should be installed to the location where needed for development work; i.e. onto the same host system as the IDE or other development toolset to be used for development; or to a file share or network drive accessible to these tools.

Note: The Agentry ActiveX API should be considered a deprecated resource. It is provided for backwards compatibility and will not be functionally changed in the future. Existing implementations making use of ActiveX can be migrated to the latest SAP Mobile Platform version without modification to the ActiveX controls in use. For new implementations in which custom controls are to be created, see the information provided on the OpenUI API for theAgentry Client.

Task

This procedure provides the steps for installing the Agentry SDK, which can be found in the SAP Mobile SDK package provided on the SAP Service Marketplace. This is a simple installation procedure, consisting of executing the installation program and selecting the location for the files within the Agentry SDK.

Once the SDK has been installed, the resulting files are found in two distinct folders within the base installation location you will select:

Agentry ActiveX
Agentry External Process

For details on the contents of this SDK, and how to develop applications or controls using this SDK, see the Developer Guide: Agentry Applications, specifically the information beginning in the section “The Agentry SDK,” and the subsequent sections “Technical Overview - ActiveX Controls and the Agentry Client” and “Agentry Client API for External Processes Technical Overview.”

Launch the installer program by executing Agentry_7.0.x.x_SDK.exe. (NOTE: ‘x’ will vary depending on the service pack version currently available).
Click the Next button on the first screen Welcome to the Agentry Software Development Kit Setup Wizard.
Click the Yes button to accept the license agreement presented on the License Agreement screen.
Next specify the location where you would like the resources of the SDK to be installed in the Choose Install Location screen.
Click Install to install the Agentry SDK. Finish the wizard when prompted by the last screen,

With the completion of this procedure the resources of the Agentry SDK have been installed. These resources can be moved or copied to other locations as needed and can be included in development projects.
