The goal of mobile business object (MBO) package management is to make MBOs available to device users. MBO package management typically requires a one-time deployment and configuration, except for ongoing subscription management for messaging and Data Orchestration Engine connector (DOE-C) packages.
A package, along with its current settings for cache groups, role mappings, synchronization groups, connections, and security configuration, can be exported to an archive and imported back into Sybase Control Center for backup or to facilitate a transition from a test environment to a production environment.
Task | Package type | Frequency | Accomplish by using |
---|---|---|---|
Deploy packages to a development or production Unwired Server | UNIFIED | Once, unless a new version becomes available | Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform with the domain-level Packages node |
Control user access by assigning security configurations for each package, and mapping roles if fine-grained authorization is enforced through logical roles | UNIFIED | Once, unless security requirements of the package change | Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform with the domain-level Packages node |
Set up the package cache interval and cache refresh schedule (for getting data updated on the Unwired Server from the data source) | UNIFIED | Once, unless data refreshes need to be tuned | Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform with the domain-level Packages node |
Manage subscriptions (UNIFIED, and DOE-C), synchronization groups (UNIFIED), and device notifications (UNIFIED) to customize how updated data in the cache is delivered to the device user | Varies | Periodic, as required | Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform with the domain-level Packages node |
Export or import an MBO package | UNIFIED | On-demand, as required | Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform with the domain-level Packages node |
Review current/historical/performance metrics | All | Routine | Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform with the Monitor node (available only to administrators) |
View asynchronous operation replays for the selected package | Replication, UNIFIED | Periodic, as required | Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform with the domain-level Packages node. However, asynchronous operation replays must first be enabled at the cluster level. See Viewing Asynchronous Operation Replays in Sybase Control Center online help. |
