Create an application definition that enables you to manage the application using Management Cockpit. The application definition must include a unique application identifier, connections to the back-end data source, and security profile settings. You can make additional application-specific changes.

  1. Defining Applications
    Create a new native, hybrid, Web, Mobile BI, or Agentry application definition, which enables you to use Management Cockpit to manage the application.
  2. Define Back-End Connections
    Define a back-end connection for the selected application. A back-end connection is a connection to the data source, or enterprise information system (EIS).
  3. Defining Application Authentication
    Assign a security profile to the selected application. The security profile defines parameters that control how the server authenticates the user during onboarding, and request-response interactions with the back end.
  4. Defining Client Policies
    Set policies that are related to client password and log management for the selected application. For hybrid apps, set feature restriction policies.
  5. Defining Push Notifications
    (Optional) Configure push-related settings for the selected application. The push listener service provided with SAP Mobile Platform Server allows back-end systems to send native notifications to devices. The application developer must have enabled push notification code in the application to use this option.
  6. Uploading Client Resources
    (Applies only to native and hybrid) Upload client resources, or resource bundles, for the selected application. Resource bundles are containers used by applications to download dynamic configurations, styles, or content from the server. The application developer must set up the capability to use client resource bundles through the OData SDK or REST API SDK, before the administrator can modify settings in Management Cockpit.
  7. Defining Application-Specific Settings
    (Optional, applies only to hybrid and Agentry) Configure application-specific settings for the selected application, using Management Cockpit, configuration files, or other tools.
  8. Defining Offline Application Settings
    Define offline settings for the selected application. Offline support enables client applications to access back-end data without requiring a connection. Offline applications access data from an offline store on the client. The server moves data between the back end and the client offline store.
  9. Saving Application Settings
    Save the application settings.
