Webinar Series
As part of the 6 month long webinar series 'SAP Mobile Platform - Enterprise Scale Mobility', @Mark Pe hosted three webinars Supporting & Troubleshooting Agentry. Mark is a senior Agentry Support Architect from the SAP Global Support Team.
The content is applicable to both SMP 2.3 and to earlier, stand-alone releases of Agentry.
- Introduction to Supporting Agentry

- Exemplary Walkthroughs to identify & resolve issues
Note that this is a series of consecutive webinars, not of stand-alone presentations, so we strongly recommended to watching the recordings in the right sequence.
- The goal of the webinars is to provide an insight into Agentry, to learn how to use the tools to debug and to quickly assess support situations.
- The target audience are support engineers, system integrators, super users and IT administrators. It gets fairly hands-on!
