Deploying and Testing 

Purpose

In this process, the developed application is deployed and tested on the mobile device. The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio supports the developer here with an automatic build of the project, the generation of a run configuration and integration with the debugging function of the development environment. The deployment itself is performed using the administration interface on the MI server.

Using the Process

This IT process is part of the following IT scenario:

IT Scenario	IT Scenario Variant
Developing, Configuring, and Adapting Applications	Developing Mobile Applications for Occasional Connection

Prerequisites

You have performed the process Developing at Client-Side.

Process Flow

...

       1.      Assign application to user

When the project is exported, the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio automatically generates a completed build of the application. This file is then converted into a Software Deployment Archive (SDA) using the migration tool in the SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator and registered on the server as an application. This application can then be assigned in the SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator to hierarchy groups, individual users, or groups of users.

       2.      Synchronize (MI)

When the mobile device is synchronized, the newly assigned application is automatically deployed and registered on the device.

       3.      Test and debug (DI / AS-JAVA)

Once the MI client has been restarted, the application is executable and can be tested. Changes to the code can be directly deployed from the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio to the  mobile device. If the run and debug configuration is used in the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio the application can even be tested locally.

Result

You have completed deployment and testing. Your newly developed mobile application is complete.
