Deploying Applications

Create an application definition that enables you to manage the application using Management Cockpit. The application definition includes a unique application identifier, connections to the back-end data source, security profile settings, and additional application-specific options.

  1. Defining Applications
    Create a new native, hybrid, or Agentry application definition, which enables you to use Management Cockpit to manage the application.
  2. Defining Back-end Connections
    Define the back-end connection for the selected application. The back-end connection refers to the connection to the data source, or enterprise information system (EIS).
  3. Defining Application Authentication
    Assign a security profile to the selected application. The security profile defines parameters that control how the server authenticates the user during onboarding, and request-response interactions with the back end.
  4. Defining Client Password Policy
    (Applies only to native and hybrid) Define the client password policy used to unlock the DataVault, for the selected application. The application developer must have added enforcement code to the application DataVault to enforce the policy. The administrator enters the application password policy used to unlock the DataVault during application initialization. Note that this policy does not apply to Agentry or Mobiliser clients, which do not use DataVault.
  5. Defining Push Notifications
    (Optional) Configure push-related settings for the selected application. The push listener service provided with SAP Mobile Platform Server allows back-end systems to send native notifications to devices. The application developer must have enabled push notification code in the application to use this option.
  6. Uploading Client Resources
    (Optional, applies only to native) Upload client resources, or resource bundles, for the selected application. Resource bundles are containers used by applications to download dynamic configurations, styles, or content from the SAP Mobile Platform Server. The application developer must set up the capability to use client resource bundles through the OData SDK or REST API SDK, before the administrator can modify settings in Management Cockpit.
  7. Defining Application-specific Settings
    (Optional, applies only to hybrid and Agentry) Configure application-specific settings for the selected application, using Management Cockpit, configuration files, or other tools.
  8. Saving Application Settings
    Save the application settings.
