Creating a sample database channel

You must create a database channel to configure M-Business XML conduit to distribute the database content to users.

For general instructions, see Setting up the sample database channel. Use the information below to fill in the database channel creation form for the sample database channel—if you are setting up your own database channel, enter values for Data URL and Schema URL that reflects the locations and names of your files:

  • Name: avgoEmpDir

  • Data URL: http://localhost/EmpDir/employees.xsd

    Note

    URLs entered in any M-Business Anywhere component must contain only forward slashes (/). The backslash character (\) in place of a forward slash will cause an error.

  • Schema URL: http://localhost/EmpDir/list.aspx.cs

  • Format: Attribute-based

  • Leave the default settings for the other entries.

The steps you have completed thus far have set up everything so that each time a member of the database channel group synchronizes their mobile device, they will get the data retrieved from the database. However, in order for users to display, edit and update that data you will need to create Web pages that synchronizes down to the device through another group channel, which will access the data using JavaScript that accesses the downloaded M-Business XML POD. See Displaying the data in HTML.
