Deploying applications to Palm OS

You must carry out the following steps to deploy an UltraLite application to a Palm OS device:

  • Deploy your application and UltraLite component. See UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere quick start.

  • Deploy an initial copy of the UltraLite database. See UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere quick start.

    In many situations it is enough to deploy an appropriately initialized UltraLite database file only. You can then use synchronization to load an initial copy of the data.

    You can create .pdb files for deployment to Palm OS from any of the UltraLite utilities, including ulxml and ulinit.

    You must supply a database using the correct creator ID, so that it can be located by your application. The Database On Palm connection parameter uses the creator ID to find the database. See UltraLite PALM_FILE connection parameter.

  • Deploy the MobiLink synchronization conduit for HotSync.

    This step is required only if the application is synchronizing using HotSync. See HotSync on Palm OS.
