Business Scenario

Introduction

Sybase Unwired Platform is a mobile enterprise application platform that enables enterprise developers to simply and quickly build applications that connect business data to mobile workers on any device, at any time. With the Sybase Unwired Platform you can create and manage multiple mobile applications that securely connect a variety of back-end data sources to all major device types. Sybase Unwired Platform Speeds mobile application development. Supports heterogeneous mobile device types. Ensures your investment in mobility is future-proof.

Personalization Keys

Personalization keys allow the mobile user to define (personalize) certain input field values within the mobile application, by associating a name (key) with a simple or complex data type value.

Mobile development supports two types of personalization keys: User-defined – you can define these when developing a mobile business object. Before using these

keys in a device application, each user sets their own values. For example; name, address, zip code, Currency, location, customer list, and so on.

System defined (username/password) – refers to the user's login credentials used to access enterprise information system (EIS) data. Unlike preference attributes, username/password is read-only and reset each time the user logs in or changes their password. The values are typically used as personalization attributes or other data source runtime credentials.

Synchronize Parameter

Synchronization parameters filter consolidated database (CDB) data during device application synchronization. In other words allows the developer to limit the data that is returned to the device. It also maps to an attribute.

In Simple words: Synchronization parameters control the amount of data to be sent to the mobile Device

Demo Application

Creating the Mobile Application Project.

Start Sybase Unwired Workspace and select New then Mobile Application Project in the File menu to create a new project. Type in the project name (i.e. Flight) then clicks Finish.

Creating the Mobile Business Object .

1. Right Click on the Mobile Application Diagram and Select Add Mobile Object.

A mobile business object defines the domain-specific objects for a mobile application. It is used to Build relationships, and combine virtual artifacts into groupings, which contain attributes, relationships, operations and parameters. The attributes of a mobile business object can be persisted in a back-end data source. This mobile business object can be implemented using a SQL statement or a remote operation.

3. Assigning personalization key to Synchronization Parameter. Right-click on Mobile Business Object and Choose Show Properties View . In Properties Assign the personalization key to Synchronization Parameter.

Deploying the Mobile Business Object to the Unwired Server.

Right Click on the Mobile Application designer, choose Deploy Project. In this step we are deploying the Mobile Business Object to the Unwired Server as a deployment unit generated from a design-time deployment package using Sybase Unwired Workspace. When we deploy the MBO to the Unwired Server, we are deploying MBO attributes, operations, connections, role mappings, schedule groups, cache groups as defined in the package. Custom code related to this MBO will also get deployed.
