Mobility Patterns

MBO design allows developers to build in support for mobility patterns—interactions between the EIS, the MBO, and the device cache. These patterns include data virtualization, publication, subscription, and operation replay.

Virtualization – normalizes the data and semantics for interacting with different enterprise information systems (EISs), each with its own set of connection interface, data, operation, and type structures.
An MBO provides a layer between your enterprise databases or applications, and the remote database on the device client. Data virtualization utilizes a cache database (CDB) to optimize device client access and minimize back-end resource utilization.
Publication – data is synchronized between EIS data stores and the Unwired Server cache, to ensure that the content is consistent between systems.
Subscription – links the client with a publication and allows the data described by the publication to be transferred to the device.
Operation replay – supports execution of the client-initiated transactions that result in data changes on the EIS.
