In the SAP Agentry development environment used for SAP Work Manager, configuration changes, such as adding items to the user-facing menu via the Menu Organizer, follow a two-step deployment process. First, the developer must explicitly save the changes within the Agentry Editor. This action commits the modifications to the application's project files. Second, to make these changes effective in the Production environment, the developer must perform a separate, manual "Publish" action. This action deploys the saved application definition to the SAP Mobile Platform Server, making it available to end-users. This deliberate process ensures that only tested and approved changes are released.

A: Publishing is not automatic. It is a deliberate, manual step required to deploy changes to the server, preventing accidental or incomplete configurations from affecting production users.

B: Renaming an item is a specific type of edit. The publishing action is a distinct, separate process and is not triggered by a simple rename operation.

D: The "Save" action only updates the local project configuration files. It does not initiate a deployment or publish the changes to the live production server.

1. SAP Help Portal - SAP Mobile Platform Server: Publishing an Agentry Application: This official documentation outlines the procedure for deploying an Agentry application. It clearly states

"Publish an Agentry application to SAP Mobile Platform Server to make it available to clients." The process described involves connecting to the server and explicitly selecting the "Publish" option after development is complete. This confirms that publishing is a manual step separate from saving.

2. SAP Help Portal - SAP Work Manager Configuration Guide: The configuration guides for various versions of SAP Work Manager describe the development lifecycle. Changes are made in the Agentry Editor

saved

and then the entire application definition must be published to the SAP Mobile Platform for the changes to take effect.
