Drag and Drop the Data Source onto the Mobile Application Diagram

Launch the Quick Create wizard that creates your mobile business object by dragging and dropping the data source onto the Mobile Application Diagram.

Prerequisites
You must have a Mobile Application project and a connection to the data source before creating the MBO.
Note: When dragging and dropping a non-Sybase data source, you must modify the SQL definition as indicated by the warning dialog to create non-Sybase MBOs or operations. Use either the Mobile Application Diagram (where you can manually enter the SQL definition) or use the Visual SQL dialog to create the SQL definition.
  1. Drag a data source entry (for example, a database table from a connection profile) and drop it onto the Mobile Application Diagram.

    A MBO is created and data source information is automatically filled in with the appropriate operation-to-command mappings, attribute-to-tabular-view mappings, and parameter-to-argument mappings (except for database views and non-Sybase data sources).

    Note: If you drag-and-drop a data source that includes a column with a computed default value, parameters for that column are not generated. You must manually modify the SQL definition to add the column from the Properties view after creating the MBO.
  2. Follow the wizard instructions to complete the MBO. Attribute and operation information varies, depending on the data source to which you bind.
  3. Once defined, use the Properties view to modify if necessary.
