Anyone did this in MI 7.0?

Hi,

since SP 18(15) the structure of the MI client build changed. It seams that the preconfiguration does not work with the new strucutre. SAP is informed about that and will solve the issue.

PS: Same is true for MI7.0 SP9 or higher

Hi,

I follow the steps that appear in the link but it doesn´t works correctly.

1) I create a new installation from MI client installation files in the path

C:Program Files

2) I copy the folder Program Files to C: emp

3) I add the folder Ext1 and Ext2 with the modifications to the folder that i save at C: emp ("C: empProgram FilesSAP Mobile Infraestructure")

4) I add the folder SAPMobileEngine to the folder C: empProgram Files.

What i doesn´t do correctly?

Hi Jose

Yes this is possible. MI delivers an installation package that is known as UNCOMPRESSED version of MI Client. This version is delivered inorder to help administrators to preconfigure the MI Client before installation i.e. modify the MobileEngine.config file, add some text files like fullscreent.txt etc and then generate a setup.exe based on your modified configuration. When this setup.exe is installed, your configuration will be available by default after installation and you dont have to do anything later. For more information please refer to the chapter <i><b>Preconfiguration of SAP MI Client (Optional)</b></i> in the MI Installation Guide or refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/5b9d9eb609f943abe9a6e90723501e/frameset.htm

There is also a new concept developed in MI from SP18 which is called as Setup Pacakage Creation. This eases out most of the admistrative overheads in creating client images. For more details refer to chapter Installing SAP MI on the Mobile Device (New) in the New Technology Installation Guide or http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/4c16aaf0222ac5e10000000a422035/content.htm

Hope this helps.
