 Application Deployment and Onboarding

 

You have several options for deploying the SAP Fiori Client application to devices. Users can install the SAP Fiori Client app directly from the public app stores, or the system administrator can deploy the application to devices and users with SAP Mobile Secure/ SAP Mobile Place or a third-party mobile device management (MDM) solution. When the app is first launched, the user is prompted to enter the Fiori launchpad URL or an e-mail address.

The following table shows the options for enabling the client to register with the mobile platform:

Configuration Method

Description

Manual configuration with URL parameters

URL parameters can be appended to the Fiori launchpad URL to manually configure the SAP Fiori Client to register with SAP Mobile Platform Server.

For more information, see Client Configuration with URL Parameters.

SAP Mobile Secure mobile app discovery service

It is possible to provide the SAP Fiori Client’s settings to a public instance of the SAP Mobile Secure, cloud edition server. If an email address is provided to the SAP Fiori Client rather than a URL, it will contact the server, passing it the appID and email address. The configuration previously specified by the administrator will be returned to the app.

Application policy for managed apps

If you use SAP Mobile Secure, cloud edition or SAP Afaria on-premise, the application configuration can be specified in the application policy for managed apps.

Note Note

When configuring the application policy, you must encode the JSON in base64.

End of the note.
