Registering and Reregistering Mobile Workflow Application Connections

Use Sybase Control Center to trigger the registration and application activation process for Mobile Workflows.

Note: When using a Windows Mobile emulator or BlackBerry simulator to register an application connection in Sybase Control Center, the device ID changes each time you reset the emulator to factory settings and reinstall the client. Before reinstalling, you must delete the original application connection from Unwired Server. Then, reregister the application connection. Otherwise, the device log shows a Wrong Device for Code error when the device attempts to connect after registration. This problem occurs with Windows Mobile emulators and BlackBerry simulators.
  1. Log in to Sybase Control Center.
  2. In the left navigation pane, click the Applications node.

    SCC_Applications_node
  3. In the right administration pane, click the Application Connections tab.
  4. Click Register to register the Mobile Workflow application connection to a device, or Reregister to update the application connection for an existing application connection.
  5. In the Register Application Connection or the Reregister Application Connection dialog:
    1. For new registrations only, type the name of the user that will activate and register the Mobile Workflow application. For reregistrations or clones, the same name is used and cannot be changed.
    2. Select the HWC template.
      The template you choose supplies initial values in the subsequent activation fields.
  6. Change the default activation field values for the template you have chosen.
    If you are using a relay server, ensure the correct values are used.
    • Server name – the DNS name or IP address of the primary Unwired Server, such as "myserver.mycompany.com". If using relay server, the server name is the IP address or fully qualified name of the relay server host.
    • Port – the port used for messaging connections between the device and Unwired Server. If using relay server, this is the relay server port. Default: 5001.
    • Farm ID – a string associated with the relay server farm ID. Can contain only letters A – Z (uppercase or lowercase), numbers 0 – 9, or a combination of both. Default: 0.
      Note: If the device uses relay server to connect to Unwired Server, the farm ID should be the name of the Unwired Server farm configured in the relay server for messaging-based synchronization applications. If the device connects to Unwired Server directly, the farm ID should be 0.
    • Activation code length – the number of characters in the activation code. If you are reregistering or cloning an application connection, this value cannot be changed.
    • Activation expiration – the number of hours the activation code is valid.
  7. (Optional) Select the check box adjacent to Activation Code to enter the code sent to the user in the activation e-mail. This value can contain letters A – Z (uppercase or lowercase), numbers 0 – 9, or a combination of both. Acceptable range: 1 to 10 characters.
    If the activation code is automatically generated, the code for the application connection can be retrieved from the Connections group of the Application Connection Properties dialog
  8. Click OK.
