Unwired Platform features enable you to manage both development and runtime environments.
- Connect to your structured and unstructured data sources, such as databases, packaged applications, service data sources, and multimedia.
- Create mobile business objects (MBOs) to create a connection to your back-end data source. Define operations, attributes, relationships, and synchronization capabilities as part of the MBO.
- Develop mobile applications from Eclipse and Visual Studio development environments, either through the development GUI, the APIs, or a combination.
- Develop device applications using the Device Application Designer (Eclipse Edition). Configure synchronization, personalization, and workflow from the graphical interface. Generate BlackBerry or Windows Mobile clients from the Device Application Designer. You can also develop device applications using Visual Studio Form Designer (Visual Studio).
- Package and deploy mobile business objects from the development environment to Unwired Server. Unwired Server manages messaging, data services, and synchronization between your data sources and your mobile devices.
- Manage Unwired Server from the Sybase Control Center, a Web browser base interface. From this administrative console, you can manage security, access, and authorization.
- (Optional) Use Afaria to deploy files to Afaria clients.
