(Applies
only to OData SDK, Android and iOS clients) Customization resource bundles enable you to associate deployed client applications with
different versions of customization
resources.
A customization resource bundle is a JAR file that includes a manifest file of name and
version properties. The customization resource bundle does not contain any information
that binds or helps bind to applications; it can be deployed, undeployed, or exported
during update of an application through Sybase Control Center. A deployed customization
resource bundle is read-only.
Implementation task flow:
- (Client
Application Developer) Invokes the OData SDK API that downloads the
customization resource bundle, which ties the application to the device. This
enables the customization resource bundle to reach the client application. See
Developer Guide: OData SDK.
- (Developer) Generates the JAR with the MANIFEST.MF, which includes these
required properties:
- Customization-Resource-Bundle-Name
- Customization-Resource-Bundle-Version
- (System Administrator) Uses Sybase Control Center to upload the customization
resource bundle, deploy it to an application, and assign it to an application
connection or application connection template.
- (Mobile Device) Deployed client applications are directed to the appropriate
version of the application.
