M-Business Server accepts form submissions and page and synchronization requests from M-Business Client. It then returns compressed Web pages to M-Business Client.
The M-Business SOAP API supports Web services that allow developers to programmatically perform any task that can be performed through the Administrator Console UI. The SOAP API also allows customers or independent software vendors to rebrand or customize the Administrator Console, or to completely replace it, making it possible to OEM or embed M-Business Anywhere with a completely custom interface.
For more information, see M-Business SOAP API Reference.
The desktop component of M-Business Client is M-Business Connect, which is the conduit that allows you to synchronize your device with M-Business Server. The settings in M-Business Connect provide the information that M-Business Client uses to communicate with M-Business Server.
M-Business Connect also installs on your mobile device, allowing you to configure settings for M-Business Server directly on your device and to synchronize remotely (if your device is equipped with a modem, network, or wireless connection).
For additional information, see Introduction .
M-Business Client is usually installed on a handheld or mobile device such as a Palm Treo 650, Pocket PC, or Microsoft Smartphone. The mobile device can be used as a Web browser, for forms submission—where forms are filled in on the device and later submitted to the server through a synchronization—and for data access to an on-device datastore.
Both and M-Business Client cache Web pages for an administrator-specified amount of time. This allows the system administrator to decide how often a channel needs to be refreshed, based upon the type of content that is being accessed.
