Provisioning Profiles and Apple Configurator

I try to install a provisioning profile (a .mobileprovision file) using Apple Configurator and I find no way of importing it into Configurator.
Apples PDF "Deploying iPhone and iPad - Apple Configurator" says I can use provisionong profiles with Configurator.
What am I doing wrong?

With this I can import configuration profiles (*.mobileconfig), but not the provisioning profile (*.mobileprovision).
The profile I am using is probably fine, as it is working in iTunes. It is used to enable enterprise Apps.

Partner Profile and its configuration.

Hi all,
I am creating an SD IDoc using EDI and send it between two servers.
I need to know what is a partner profile and why should we create it.
what are the steps to be followed in maintaining a partner profile and its configuration.
Any pointers will be highly apppreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
Below is a material you can go through .
Creating an Outbound Partner Profile
Here you must enter the data manually. Alternatively, you can also transfer the default values from Customizing.
If you are not yet on the change screen of your desired partner, choose SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Administration ® Runtime Settings ® Partner Agreement (WE20).
1. Position the mouse on your partner in the required partner type node. Choose in the Outbound Parameter table.
Key Fields
2. You have already determined partner number and partner type in general partner processing. The partner function from the master data defines the addressee, that is, it is used for further classification purposes. If you have selected outbound processing under Message Control (MC), the function must be identical to the corresponding Message Control field. Otherwise, it is optional.
Partner A (customer 1110) wants to order a material from partner B (vendor 1014). Partner B is of the partner type LI (vendor) and must choose the Message Control value VD (vendor) as the partner function because orders must always be processed using Message Control.
3. Specify the business process with the logical message, within which the IDoc type is used. The logical message is described by three parameters: The message type is based on EDIFACT message types: For example, a purchase order is of type ORDERS. You can further divide the message type with the optional fields message code and message function.
4. Configure the test indicator if you want to send the message as a test.
Message, partner and test indicator are the seven key fields of the outbound partner profiles (the client comes in addition to these). Also see the graphic at the end of this section.
Other Fields
5. In the Outbound options tab page, you can determine whether IDocs are forwarded immediately to the receiving system. You should ensure that your entries are compatible with the Message Control priorities, if you have chosen outbound processing under Message Control. A list of recommended combinations is provided in the section Outbound Processing Under MC: Procedure.
6. You have already defined the Recipient port in Port definition.
7. If a port of type TRFC is used, the Queue Processing field is visible. You can use the indicator to specify whether IDocs are to be sent with qRFC. This sending technique is only possible for recipient SAP systems as of SAP Web AS 6.20.
You should only set this flag if it is really necessary that the IDocs sent are received in the receiving system in the same sequence as they were sent by the sender system. Queuing can cause posting delays in the receiving system, because an IDoc in the queue cannot be posted. In this case, the following IDocs in the queue cannot be posted until the error is resolved.
8. If you have set the Queue Processing indicator, the Rule Name field, which you must then also maintain, appears as well. The rule name defines the rules for queue names. You can specify these rules in the transaction qRFC IDoc Queue Name Rules (WE85).
9. Specify the IDoc type as the Basic type with or without extension. If you want to use a view of your IDoc type (for example, to improve the performance), specify this here.
The figure below shows the m-to-n relationship between logical messages (business meaning) and IDoc types (technical format). Message 1, for example, is always assigned to one IDoc type, while message 3 is assigned to two IDoc types. IDoc type 2, in turn, is also assigned to 2 logical messages.
10. The segment release specifies the release from which the segment definitions (not the IDoc type definition) originates. We recommend that you leave this field blank so that the most recent segment definition is used.
11. You can propose an EDI standard, version and EDI message type for the receiving system in the tab page EDI Standard. Most subsystems, however, should be able to determine these EDI settings themselves (from the logical message).
12. You can define permitted agents for cases in which exceptions occur. This entry overrides the entry in the general partner profiles. Depending on the message, therefore, the exception can be handled by different agents of the same partner.
13. You can specify whether syntax errors are to be ignored or are to lead to a processing error (Cancel Processing flag under syntax check in the tab page outbound options). For more information about exception handling and permitted agents, refer to the following section: Exception Handling
14. If your hardware supports it, create partner and message specific telephony data for outbound IDocs. For more information, see General Partner Profile.
Graphic: Outbound partner profile fields (general)
Key fields are shown in gray. The values for partner, message and test indicator (and client) therefore provide a unique ID for the IDoc type in outbound processing.

Praveen

How can we transport the partner profiles and Port configurations

Hi everybody,
How can we transport the partner profiles and Port configurations. While creating these , system will not ask for Dev class and we cant assign any Transport request number. Then How can we transport these settings?
Your replies are really apreciable.
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
please have a look of the OSS note: 182172
>>
The partner profiles are stored in the following tables:
Table EDPP1: General partner profile
Table EDP12: Partner profile outbound, additional data NAST
Table EDP13: Partner profile outbound
Table EDP21: Partner profile inbound
Table EDIPHONE: Connection to SAP telephony (optional)
You can use R3TR TABU to manually set the tables into a Customizing request (as of Release 46, into a SYST-type request).

Looking for feedback using Power Sync cart and apple configurator

I am looking at mass deploying iPads using the Bretford PowerSync Cart and Apple Configurator. Need information on how long it takes to fully power and sync units?

You might try a Google search. Here's one I found.

Recently updated MBP and Apple Configurator. Since updating the Update iOS option for Apple Configurator forces me to update the iOS. Thoughts?

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
Processor: 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
OS: OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1
Apple Configurator
Version 1.7.1 (550)
Since upgrading both the OS and Apple Configurator I can no longer select the option to not update the iOS when I prepare a device. It is currently selected as When update is available. Also the option appears to be grayed out. Any thoughts?

Google maps is now available in the app store and the carrier update that your refering to was for cell data usage while on wifi. It is perfectly fine to do the update. No issues that i had from that update.

Difference between Developer provisioning profile and a Distribution one

With both a Developer provisioning profile and a Distribution Ad Hoc provisioning profile, an app can be installed on a designated device.
Is the only practical difference between the two kinds the fact that the Developer provisioning profile eventually expires?
Thanks,

A compiled class has two concealed initialisation methods, class initialization <clinit> and instance initialization <init>.
These are created by concatenating initialisation blocks and initial value clauses associated with fields of the class in the order they appear in the source.
Class initialisation is performed the first time a class is "actively used", which means either by accessing a static field or member or by instanciating the class. It's performed first, and the initialisation methods are syncrhonized on the class, so that the class is effectively locked until it finishes.
The normal sequence of isntantiating the class is:
1) Call <clinit> if it hasn't been called.
2) Allocate the space for the instance and clear the fields to zero/null
3) Call <init>
4) Execute the constructor
<init> first calls super.<init>

How to Obtain a Distribution Provisioning Profile from Apple

hi everybody!
I'm searching in the apple.com site where I can register me to obtain a distribution provisioning profile, can anybody help me?
thx!

Hi Angelo, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
A provisioning profile is one of the documents you can obtain at the Developer Program Portal once you're a member of the program. Normally you would first register as an iPhone Developer at the iPhone Dev Center to access the free developer tools and the extensive iPhone Reference Library.
The home page of the iPhone Dev Center includes a link to information about the iPhone Developer Program. Once you decide on the type of membership you require (e.g.: Standard Program $99; Enterprise Program $299), you can proceed to the online application form.
Once you are accepted into the program (the waiting time may vary from less than one day to several weeks), you will obtain access to the Program Portal which provides detailed instructions on how to obtain, install and use the various documents including the provisioning profiles. Note that an iPhone developer does not normally obtain a Distribution Provisioning Profile until completing and thoroughly testing an iPhone app using one or more Device Provisioning Profiles. A Distribution Certificate and Profile is only used when building the version of your app which will be submitted for review and placed in the iTunes Store if accepted.
Hope that helps!

Update to 10.9.1 whips out Server and Apple Configurator Settings

I just updated my mac Mini Server that was already running Mavericks and Server App. When the reboot was done and I started the server is was like I had just installed the app. All the cache and settings were gone. Went to use Apple Configurator. Same thing. All profiles and managed devices and groups are gone. Is there anyway to get these configurations back?

Actually, this is an id10T mistake. I rebooted to the wrong hard drive. Please disregard this problem. It is solved.

ITouches and Apple Configurator

I am having trouble getting my 2nd generation iTouches to work with Apple Configurator. Will Configurator work with 2nd Gen? 4.2.1 OS?

When supervisor is picked as an option for preparation I get the error message "Supervision Failed". When Supervision is turned off my iPod Touch's will almost install and then "time out". Will not load apps designated for the profile that was setup for them. Thanks for any help.

IOS6 and Apple Configurator

I updated my iOS devices to 6 using apple configurator. The devices updated no problem, but the apps won't lay down. Now they act like a restored device and I have to start all over. Configurator is also not laying down profiles.

If you did not restore a backup as part of the configuration for the devices in Configurator, you will need to complete the setup assistant on each device manually. If you are not supervising the devices, profiles will not install until you complete the assistant. Apps should install fine in either case, though. How do you know they are not being installed?
Can you be more specific about the configuration you are applying to the devices?

HT201092 EAS Email Profile via Apple Configurator

Does anyone knows if it's possible on an iOS 8 device to switch off the option "Encryption by default" and keep the end user's encryption cert available? When this is done via Apple Configurator the cert disappears and Per Message option cannot be used.

I had the exact same problem and was deleting the profile manually...huge time waste. Called the Apple support with another problem and they told me when the iPads are synced the last thing they do is put the profiles onto the iPad.
If your profile you have loaded onto the iPad already doesn't allow downloading apps and such, the profile already being on the iPad won't let you install apps.
So the solution is to do a double sync. UNCHECK the profile that is on each iPad and do a quick sync to delete the profile. Then get all apps ready and such including imagines/restore backup, then check the profile you want back on the iPad and do another sync.
Worked for me and saved TONS of time.

IOS 7 and Apple Configurator

Hello Everyone,
So I know I am not the first person with these problems. I have been unable to add/change profiles on any student iPad. I've also been unable to install new apps either. Apple Configurator is stating that the profile says apps cannot be installed, even though that isn't the case.
At this point, I can't make any changes to any settings on any iPad on our carts. Is there a solution that I don't know about? Is there a fixi coming out in the next couple of days for this?

I don't think it will allow you to connect to a PC, only to a Mac. this is only for the task of downloading pictures or videos. It serves no other purpose that I'm aware of.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5895
There is no mention of this working with PC and since Apple Configurator is Mac only, then when you activate Supervised mode, you are restricted to that particular Mac, except for transferring images and videos.
I hope this helps.

Ipad deployment and apple configurator is slowing down

I'm new to deploying iPads and have loaded about 50 so far with 200 more to go. I loaded 30 in my cart but after about 20, apple configurator is running so slow especially when I get to the assign mode. And actually right now, the configurator program opens slowly. What did I do wrong and how can I fix this? Please help as I need to have these done by Tuesday.

See if the IOS 8.0.2 update helps.

Folders on Ipad and Apple Configurator Backups

I can't get my backup in the apple configurator to include the folders with all the apps. I have my ipad the way i want it and now I want to distribute it to other ipads. I backup but the apps don't come with. What am I doing wrong?

I would suggest trying it again, perhaps give your backup a different name from the device that you're backing up. I went through several tries with folders and app positions not being restored, but eventually it started working. I'm still very confused by some of the things that Apple Configurator is doing, but I'll plugging away until I figure out exactly how to use it.

Harddrive and Apple configurator

I am trying to get 2 carts of Ipods up and running for our support services dept. I am using apple configurator. I have tried making a back up copy of a ready iPod and pushing it out to the others in the cart. The back up file is 16Gb. This fills up my hardrive during the prepare phase. I have also tried to push the content to the app through assign feature with the same results. My question is does apple configurator make a back up copy of each individual iPod, or does it just use the original to build the others? is there a way to remedy this problem? I am using one of the new mac book pros with the 256 SSD drive

My understanding is you need to have deployed in supervisor mode on the ipad to get the code back. You may want to talk to your apple salesperson to discuss alternative ways of getting the codes back.
These pages will not answer your question.
