• Mobile Business Objects
  Mobile business objects help form the business logic for mobile applications.
• Synchronization Methods
  Developers can use either replication-based or message-based synchronization to move data and transactions between device application clients and Unwired Server.
• Application Types
  Sybase Unwired Platform supports two choices for application type. First is the native application type, and the other is the container-based business workflow type.
• Data Sources
  A data source is the enterprise information system where data is retrieved from and transactions are executed. A connection profile is a design-time connection to a data source. Connection profiles are created to specific data source by providing connection information such as host, port, login, and password among others. The connection profiles are used to define MBOs and operations, and mapped to existing, or used to create new, server connections when the package is deployed to Unwired Server..
