Creating a Local Business Object

Create a local business object, which is not bound to a data source.

A local business object can be deployed to Unwired Server and perform business functions locally on the device application, for example call object queries or persist application specific configuration information locally across application restarts. Local business objects cannot be filtered or synchronized with the Unwired Server cache database (CDB).
  1. Launch the Local Business Object Creation wizard by selecting the Local Business Object icon from the Palette and dragging it onto the Mobile Application Diagram.
    Note: You cannot create a local business object by dragging and dropping a data source onto the Mobile Application Diagram, since this method automatically binds the MBO to the data source.
  2. On the Attributes Definition page, define the attribute values as you would any other MBO.
  3. Select the operations which are allowed to be performed by the local business object.
  4. Make any changes from the Properties view, if necessary.
    Local business objects support object queries, and are listed (and can be included) in the Code Generation wizard, since local business objects can be referenced in device application code.
