The developer and administrator must coordinate to deploy applications
from the development or test environment to the production environment.
Hybrid Apps
To deploy hybrid apps to the production environment:
- (Administrator) on the preproduction server, select the app
in Management Cockpit, and choose
Export. This generates a ZIP file that contains
the app, and retains many of the app settings.
- (Administrator) in Management Cockpit,
import the ZIP file to SAP Mobile Platform production server,
and define the hybrid application. If the hybrid app uses the
AppUpdate plugin, use the App Specific
Settings tab to manage the app version.
- (Administrator) continue using
Management Cockpit to complete hybrid app
configuration tasks in the production environment; for example, security
provider settings are not retained as part of the export/import process.
Once the application is defined and configured on the server, application
users can log in to the client-side application to register the application
with the server, and start using the application and resources from the
server.
Native Applications
To deploy native applications to the production environment:
- (Developer) deploy the application to the devices.
- (Administrator) use Management Cockpit
to complete native application configuration tasks in the production
environment. Once the application is defined and configured on the server,
application users can log in to the client-side application to register the
application with the server, and start using the application and resources
from the server.
Agentry Applications
To
deploy Agentry applications to the production environment:
- (Administrator) in Management Cockpit,
define the Agentry application. If you are publishing an update to an
existing application, you do not need this step.
- (Developer) use Agentry Editor to publish the application.
The publishing process creates the ZIP file, which contains production
definitions and any other files the developer included.
-
(Administrator) in Management Cockpit, complete any
additional Agentry application configuration tasks for the production
environment; use the App Specific Settings tab to
publish the ZIP file.
The ZIP file is uploaded through the browser to the
SAP Mobile Platform Server, and is published. You are notified
of success or failure.
- (Administrator) once the application is defined and
configured on the server, application users can log on to the client-side
application to register the application with the server, and start using the
application and resources from the server.
