Uploading Add-On Files (SAP Library - Configuration of SAP Mobile Infrastructure)

Uploading Add-On Files

Use

This procedure uploads the installation files of the add-ons that contain additional generic functionality. The uploaded files can be edited there.

Prerequisites

● You have obtained the installation files required for the add-ons and saved them in a folder of your choice in Windows Explorer.

● The Mobile Component Descriptor (MCD) is available in your system. If the MCD is not yet available and you have a suitable transport file, you can transport it to your system using transaction STMS. You can find information about transports in the documentation for the Transport Management System.

If there is no transport file for the MCD, you might have to create an MCD yourself (see Mobile Component Descriptor).

● You started the SAP MI Web Console (see Starting the SAP MI Web Console ).

Procedure

...

1. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Change for the mobile component you want to upload.

Note

If the list does not contain an entry for the mobile component, first create a Mobile Component Descriptor (MCD) for the component (see Mobile Component Descriptor).

2. Enter the following data:

Field	Purpose
Version for Role-Based Assignment	If there are different versions of a mobile component, you can select a version here. The system then automatically uses this version when processing roles (see Assigning Mobile Components to a Role). There is no input field for the version in the role editor.
Build Number	You can specify the build number of the mobile component to establish at a later date which build of a mobile component you uploaded.
Use IP Instead of Host Name	Access to the host using the IP address. If the mobile devices cannot access the host on which the installation files are stored using the host name, select this field. In this case the IP address is used for the download link instead of the host name.
Domain in URL	If the mobile devices can only reach the host on which the installation files are stored using their fully qualified name in the network, enter the network domain in this field.
Protocol	Enter the protocol to be used when the files are downloaded to the mobile device, for example, http or https.
Application File	Use the Explorer to navigate to the storage location of the required file and select it. The selected operating system and language are of no importance since there is a file for each operating system and each language. If the SAP MI Web Console is run in a J2EE cluster, the mobile components are stored on only a single node of the cluster. In this case you must manually copy the mobile components to all the other nodes of the cluster (see Copying Mobile Components to All Nodes of the J2EE Cluster).

For more information about the other fields, see Mobile Component Descriptor

3. Choose Change.

Note

If you want to upload a new version of the mobile component, you do not need to create a new entry. You can simply change the existing entry.

Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text in the line with the entry to be changed. Change the version, enter the corresponding runtime environment and select the installation file. Choose Change.

Result

The add-on files are uploaded. You now need to deploy the uploaded files on the mobile device (see Assigning Mobile Components To Users ).

Note

Add-ons are assigned to users in the same way as mobile components are assigned to users.
