Application and User Management

Application and user management applies to registering applications, creating application connections for users (with security configurations), and creating application connection templates).

Mobile management features of Unwired Platform allow applications and application users to be managed in similar fashion to how computer applications are managed by IT departments: users need to be identifiable, computers need to be tracked and assigned, and "standard" enterprise applications need to be distributed and installed.

Application and User Management Overview
The goal of application management is to register an application to Unwired Server as an entity, create an application template that specifies application connection details for a user, and activate applications either manually or automatically.
Applications
An Application in Unwired Server (visible in Sybase Control Center as such) is the runtime entity that can be directly correlated to a native or mobile workflow application. The application definition on the server establishes the relationship among packages used in the application, domain that the application is deployed to, user activation method for the application, and other application specific settings.
Application Creation
There are two ways an application gets created - automatic and manual.
Application Users
In Unwired Platform, an application user is an identity registered as the user of one or more versions of a device application. Application users are managed in Sybase Control Center.
Application Connections
Application connections associate an application instance with a user. An application may be used by many users, and a user may be associated with many applications.
Application Connection Templates
An application connection template is a model or pattern used to standardize connection properties and values for a specific application connections so that they can be reused. A template allows you to quickly create actual application connections.
