Deploying a Hybrid App Package with the Deploy WizardLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use the Deploy wizard to make Hybrid App packages available on SAP Mobile Server.

Context

If you are deploying to a target domain, replicate the value in the context variable. The domain deployment target must match the context variable defined. If the developer has used an incorrect context variable (for example, one used for testing environments), you can change the value assigned to one that is appropriate for production deployments.

Procedure

  1. In the left navigation pane of SAP Control Center, click Hybrid Apps.
  2. From the General tab, click Deploy.
  3. Click Browse to locate the Hybrid App package.
  4. Select the file to upload and click Open.
  5. Select the deployment mode:
    • New – deploys an SAP Mobile Server package and its files for the first time.

      If the uploaded file does not contain an SAP Mobile Server, or an SAP Mobile Server with the same name and version is already deployed to SAP Mobile Server, you see an error message.

    • Update – installs a new SAP Mobile Server package with the original package name and assigns a new, higher version number than the existing installed SAP Mobile Server package. SAP recommends that you use this deployment mode for major new changes to the SAP Mobile Server package.
      During the update operation, SAP Mobile Server:
      • Acquires a list of assigned application connections from the original package.
      • Installs and assigns the package a new version number.
      • Prompts the administrator to specify application connection assignments from the acquired list of assigned application connections.
      • Preserves existing notifications.
      • Preserves the previous SAP Mobile Server package version.
    • Replace – replaces an existing SAP Mobile Server package with a new package, but maintains the same name and version. SAP recommends that you use the replace deployment mode for minor changes and updates to the SAP Mobile Server package, or during initial development.
      During the replace operation, SAP Mobile Server:
      • Acquires a list of assigned application connections for each user of the original package.
      • Uninstalls the original package.
      • Installs the new package with the same name and version.
      • Assigns the original application connections list to the new package, thus preserving any application connection assignments associated with the original package.
    The package is added to the list of deployed packages, which are sorted by Display Name.

Next Steps

Configure the deployed package if you want it to have a different set of properties in a production environment.
