Enabling the download of the M-Business XML POD (database POD) to the group

In order for a database channel to work properly, each user's mobile device must first have a platform-specific database POD downloaded. You do this by creating a group channel, for the same group that is to receive the database channel.

For general instructions on creating a group channel, see Creating a group channel. Use the information below to fill in the group channel creation form as indicated for each platform.

Note

If you are supporting both Microsoft OS devices and Palm OS devices, you will need to create two separate group channels.

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. When you are setting up directories in a Windows file system, where backslashes separate levels, be sure to change these characters to forward slashes if you copy parts of the file system path into a URL.
