Development Task Flow for BlackBerry Applications

For an application to work in an ODP scenario, it needs to be initialized first. Additionally, an application developer uses APIs specific to ODP that enables the application to send and receive data.

1. Initializing the Application
   Initialize the application when it starts the first time.
2. Setting Server Details
   Set or update the connection properties of the server before user registration.
3. Registering a User
   Using a pre-defined authentication mechanism, register a user automatically. You can register the user synchronously or asynchronously.
4. Sending Data Request to the Back-end
   You can forward data request messages to the back-end through theSUP server synchrounously or asynchronously.
5. Retrieving the Response from the Back-end
   Based on the data request sent to the back-end, you need to retrieve the data as a response to the device.
6. Using HTTPS over the SAP Mobile PlatformMessaging Channel
   (Optional) Clients can securely communicate with the backend via the server through the HTTPS transport protocol. By using SSL over the SAP Mobile Platform Messaging Channel, all messages are encrypted and authenticated to ensure secure communication.
7. Debugging Runtime Error and Performance Analysis
   To handle occurrences of exceptions and special conditions that change the normal flow of the program execution, error handling has to be done appropriately.
