Deploying Mobile Applications for LaptopLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You have:

  • Exported runtime metadata

  • Created the application archive for the project

  • The DC that contains the application to be deployed, available in the Project State ; that is, the DC project must be available in the workspace.

Context

You can locally deploy the application to a mobile client for laptops that is installed on the local machine. This allows you to test the application before you upload it to the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE) . However, if you want to test the application-related authorizations, you must upload the application to the DOE and then deploy it to the client.

Note

The local deployment mechanism does not physically deploy the application to the mobile client for laptop. Instead, it makes the mobile client point to the binaries that are created by the IDE when the project is built. Therefore, you do not have to deploy the application after each build.

However, you must deploy the application locally again if:

  • You want to refresh the data persistency

  • Development Component (DC) dependencies in the project have changed

Procedure


  1. In the Laptop UI explorer , click the application element with the secondary mouse button and choose Deploy.

  2. To refresh the data persistency, select Refresh Persistency.

    The IDE deletes the existing persistency definition (deletes the data in the application) and creates a new definition.

    We recommend that you refresh

    • data persistency if: The model definition changes in the DOE

    • You want to delete the existing data in the application

  3. Choose Finish.

  4. Choose OK .
