Prerequisites

More information: Logging On to SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator

Context

A device profile is a logical grouping of the following:

  • Mobile components, such as:

    • Applications to be installed on the device

    • Framework to be installed on the device

    • Database to be installed on the device

    • Add-ons, patches or upgrades to be deployed on the device

    • Agents to be deployed on the device

  • DM Software component versions

  • Agent Configurations

If you want to create a set of devices that must have specific mobile components, DM software component versions, or agent configurations, then you can:

  • Create a device profile

  • Assign the required mobile components, DM SWCVs, or agent configurations to the device profile

  • Assign the device profile to the required devices

This ensures that you do not have to assign the mobile components, agent configurations, or DM SWCVs to each device individually.
