Setting Up the Development Environment

To build SMS applications, you must first set up your development environment, which includes installing the SAP® Mobile Platform SDK, with the SMS Toolkit.

1. Start the SMS Builder server. The start-up scripts (run.sh and run.bat) expect the location of the java application to be in the PATH. If you plan to run a start-up script in production, modify the script to reflect your system architecture. You need not have root privilege to execute a start-up script.
   1. Change to the SMSBUILDER_HOME directory.
   2. Run the command or commands for your platform:

      Platform	Command
      Windows	bin\run.bat
      AIX or Linux	chmod 755 bin/run.sh bin/run.sh start

2. Launch the SMS Builder Web UI.
   1. If SMS Builder is running on the same machine as SAP Mobile Platform, configure the HTTP port.
   2. Open a browser and navigate to either:
      • http://localhost:<HTTP_port>/brand, where HTTP_port is the HTTP port number, or
      • http://server:<HTTP_port>/brand, where server is the name of the machine on which the SMS Builder server is running.
   3. Log in.
      The default login credentials are:

      • User Name – admin
      • Password – Brand!23

      If you created a new admin password, use it to log in.

• Configuring the HTTP Port
  The default HTTP port number is 8080, which is the same port that SAP Mobile Platform uses for its OData proxy. If SMS Builder is running on the same machine as SAP Mobile Platform, set the HTTP port number to a value that is not being used by SAP Mobile Platform.
