Developer Workflow

Get started using the Unwired WorkSpace development environment to mobilize your enterprise.

This describes a typical workflow creating a mobile application using a data source and mobile business objects to create the server-side code, and the Device Application Designer to create the client-side code. You can follow similar workflows to create mobile applications using a variety of data sources (like a Web service, database, SAP, Remedy, or document), and using other client interface tools (like the client object API).

  1. Creating a Data Source Connection Profile
    A connection profile contains the connection property information needed to connect to a server in your enterprise.
  2. Creating a Sybase Unwired Server Connection Profile
    Create a new Sybase Unwired Server connection profile to supply runtime connection information.
  3. Creating a Mobile Application Project
    A mobile application project is the container for the mobile business objects that forms the business logic of mobile applications.
  4. Creating a Mobile Business Object by Dragging and Dropping a Data Source
    Create a mobile business object (MBO), define the attributes and operations, and bind directly to the data source by dragging and dropping the data source onto the Mobile Application Diagram.
  5. Deploying a Mobile Application Project
    Deploy a Mobile Application project directly to an Unwired Server, and optionally create a reusable deployment profile.
  6. Developing a Device Application
    A device application is a software application that runs on a mobile device. With Unwired WorkSpace, you can create device applications using the Device Application Designer, or using the API framework.
  7. Generating a BlackBerry Device Application
    Use the Generate Device Application wizard to generate the device application code.
  8. Generating a Device Application for Development and Testing on a BlackBerry Simulator
