Use Sybase® Unwired Platform to develop mobile applications, and to manage the production environment. Understanding the end-to-end product task flow enables you to use Unwired Platform strategically in your enterprise.
Use Unwired WorkSpace to create a project container, then create one or more mobile business objects (MBOs). Mobile business objects contain the business logic, operations (create, update, delete, and other), attributes, and relationships for the mobile application. For example, an MBO may include the business logic for creating, editing, and deleting customer records. You can create an MBO by dragging and dropping an object from the data source, or using the creation wizard and then bind the MBO to a data source (or you can create an MBO and defer binding to a data source). Generate replication-based or message-based code, and deploy to Unwired Server.
Create a mobile application package on the Unwired Server. Configure MBO server-side parameters, set up personalization, and perform role mapping for the production environment.
Once configured, deploy the mobile application package on Unwired Server. Once deployed, users can access the mobile application from mobile devices. Mobile applications can be pushed to the device or scheduled for deployment. Unwired Server manages synchronization between the data source and the mobile device.
Optionally use Afaria® with Unwired Platform to provision mobile applications, and manage devices and users.
Mobile Device Users Use mobile devices (including smartphones, laptops, handheld devices, and notebooks) to access mobile applications.
From the mobile device, log in to the mobile application; navigate the user interface; synchronize data and applications through Unwired Server to the data source; and create, update, and delete data records and transactions.
