Creating a Mobile Deployment Package

Create a mobile deployment package that contains the mobile business objects (MBOs) to be deployed to an Unwired Server.

  1. Launch the New Mobile Deployment Package wizard.
    From Action
    WorkSpace Navigator Right-click the Mobile Application project and select Create Mobile Deployment Package.
    File menu Select File > New > Mobile Deployment Package.
  2. Enter the project folder and file name for the mobile deployment package and click Next (the file name is used as the default 'package name' in the next step). By default, when the mobile deployment package is created, it is given a .pkg extension. For example, if the file name is test_package, the mobile deployment package file name is test_package.pkg.
  3. Enter the name of the mobile deployment package (maximum 64 characters) that is deployed to the Packages folder of the target Unwired Server, and an optional description and click Next. The value of the Package name field entered here is not the package name on the Unwired Server.
  4. Select the MBOs to be included in the package and click Finish or Next:
    • Select the project level to select all of the MBOs from the project.
    • Select one or more individual MBOs.
    Note: If any MBO contains an error, an error icon displays next to that MBO. You can still include the MBO in the package.

    If any MBOs in the package have dependencies, those dependencies are included, and display in the Dependencies section.

  5. If any of the MBOs include JAR files, for example, if you have created custom result checkers or result set filter classes, the Package User-defined Classes page prompts you to deploy them to Unwired Server. You must deploy your custom classes to the server to use them.
  6. Review the summary and click Finish.

    The mobile deployment package (<file name>.pkg) appears in the WorkSpace Navigator and the Mobile Deployment Package editor opens.
