Publishing to Development

Perform a development publish in Agentry Editor when performing development work, customizations, or configuration to an application project.

Prerequisites

Access to a development version of SAP Mobile Platform Server.
Create an application definition in Management Cockpit. Be sure to set the developmentServer configuration property in Agentry.ini to true. Agentry.ini is located in SMP_HOME\Server\configuration\sap.mobile.platform.server.agentry.application.
An agentry application project that is ready for testing.

Task

In a development publish, SQL scripts, file system scripts or batch files are written to the SAP Mobile Platform Server file system as separate, editable files. Subsequent development publishes overwrite only the files that have changed.

The publish process checks the overall integrity of the application project. Agentry Editor list errors or warnings in the Problems View. You may need to correct these issues to perform a successful publish. You can publish an application with warnings, but not with errors.

In Agentry Editor, click Publish .
Select Development Version, then click Next.
Browse to the development server.
(Optional) Select Create override base files to generate the files used in support of localization.
These files contain the display strings within the application project, with each display string including an identifier. The contents of these files can be translated and reincorporated in the server to localize the application.
Click Next.
The Publish Application to Server dialog displays the number of definition files written to the SAP Mobile Platform Server.
Click Finish.
Restart the development server.

The application is now available to any clients connected to the development server.
