Applications can be directly correlated to a native application or mobile workflow container instance on device. A native application is the single binary deployed to device which may use one or more MBO packages. The mobile workflow application is a collection of workflow packages and constitutes as one application. One or more MBO packages can be assigned to an application. If application developers want to use the same package in a different application, they can do that by assigning the MBO package to that application using Sybase Control Center.
An application ID uniquely identifies the application and must be used to register an application connection or the application template for automatic activation of the application. An application ID is also used in the device application for activation of its application connection. Depending on the choice of the activation option, invoke the provided Application APIs to register the application connection.
