Application ID Guidelines

Follow these guidelines for choosing an appropriate application ID while registering application connection for use by native MBO, workflow, or Online Data Proxy clients. Failure to specify the correct application ID would result in failure when the client tries to activate itself even though the user name and activation code do match.

Registration Type Application ID Guidelines
Workflow client
  • 2.0.1 or earlier – leave the application ID empty.
  • 2.1 or later – use preexisting "HWC" template, or, if using your own template, make sure that "HWC" is set as the application ID in the template.
  • iOS Sample container 2.1 or later – use the template you have created. The application ID used by the iOS sample container should match the application ID specified in registration.
Native MBO application
  • Previous to 2.1.2 – leave the application ID empty. This applies to native messaging-based application clients.
  • 2.1.2 or later – (recommended) use the application connection template that is automatically created for the application. Otherwise, ensure you register application connection with the correct template by verifying that application id matches, and that the correct security configuration and domain are selected. Also, if using replication synchronization, set other template properties (such as synchronization-related properties in Connection category) as required. For Android native MBO application, this recommendation applies starting with 2.1.1.
Online Data Proxy client

Register application connection using the template created for the application. Existing templates can be found in the Applications > Application Connection Template tab.
