Creating a Provisioning File

Provision applications with a simple text configuration file that can be parsed by the client and from which data is then imported.

  1. Create a text file, named as follows:
    • For provisioning Android device applications, the file must be named “Sybase_Messaging_” followed by the package name with a “.cfg” extension. Any non-alphanumeric characters in the application ID will be replaced with underscores to avoid any conflicts with operating system restrings. For example, if the package name is “myApplication:1.0”, the file would be: Sybase_Messaging_myApplication_1_0.cfg.
    • For provisioning BlackBerry device applications, the file must be named “Sybase_Messaging_” followed by the Application ID with a “.cfg” extension. Any non-alphanumeric characters in the Application ID will be replaced with underscores to avoid any conflicts with operating system restrings. For example, if the Application ID is “myApplication:1.0”, the file would be: Sybase_Messaging_myApplication_1_0.cfg.
    • For provisioning Windows Mobile or Win32 device applications, the file must be named “Sybase_Messaging_” followed by the Application ID with a “.cfg” extension. Any non-alphanumeric characters in the Application ID will be replaced with underscores to avoid any conflicts with operating system restrings. For example, if the Application ID is “myApplication:1.0”, the file would be: Sybase_Messaging_myApplication_1_0.cfg.
    • For provisioning the Hybrid Web container used for Mobile Workflow, the file must be named "Sybase_Messaging_”, followed by the application ID (HWC), with a .cfg extension. Any non-alphanumeric characters in the application ID are replaced with underscores to avoid any conflicts with operating system restrings. For example, if the Mobile Workflow package application ID is "myApplication:1.0," the file would be: Sybase_Messaging_myApplication_1_0.cfg.
    Note: When configuring the connection settings for the Hybrid Web Container, settings are applied for the Hybrid Web Container. These settings are not per mobile workflow application.
  2. Enter the desired settings information in the .cfg file. See Provisioning Settings.
  3. Save the .cfg file.
