This section discusses new features and enhancements to existing features.
Installer – install, upgrade, or uninstall using the Unwired Accelerator Installer. See the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide, and the Release Bulletin for the latest information or corrections to the user documentation.
Advanced capture options:
Custom capture – capture Web data using a user-created JSP file that programmatically extracts content. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Crystal Reports – capture content from a Web page generated by a Crystal Report, using provided JSP files that programmatically extract content. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Custom XSL capture – capture Web data using a user-created JSP file that programmatically extracts content, and XSL file that transforms data for grid presentation. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Excel – capture data from an existing Excel spreadsheet or workfile, and define grid rules on the data. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Web service plus WSDL files – build Web services applications based on available Web services objects and methods. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Enterprise applications – connect with your hosted enterprise connections to create mobile applications:
Domino Business Objects 6.x/XI, version 1 – establish connection and build mobile applications using Domino data. See the Unwired Accelerator Mobile Application Development Tutorial, Administration Guide, and the Developer’s Guide.
See Technical Bulletin Unwired Accelerator
8.0 and Business Objects XI, Release 2 for Windows 2003 and XP,
if you installed EBF #13973.
Remedy – build Web services applications based on available Remedy Web services objects and Remedy data. See the Unwired Accelerator Mobile Application Development Tutorial, Administration Guide, and the Developer’s Guide.
SAP – establish connection and build mobile applications using SAP data. See the Unwired Accelerator Administration Guide, and the Developer’s Guide.
Unwired Accelerator 8.0 now includes additional UA clients, to support a broader range of mobile devices:
Java ME (Symbian/J2ME) client – Unwired Accelerator 8.0 introduces the UA client for Java ME (Symbian/J2ME) mobile devices. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide and the Quick Start Guide.
BlackBerry client – Unwired Accelerator 8.0 continues to support the UA client for offline BlackBerry devices. User interface changes make the UA client even easier to use.
.NET container client (sample) – Unwired Accelerator 8.0 provides a sample .NET container client as a sample of what you can create for Windows mobile devices with the .NET API. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
M-Business Anywhere clients – M-Business Anywhere is no longer provided with the Unwired Accelerator license, but you can continue to use the M-Business Anywhere client (5.7 or 6.0) for Windows mobile devices. See the Unwired Accelerator Administration Guide.
UA clients can now be deployed over-the-air (OTA) for mobile devices with Internet access. See the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide and Administration Guide.
.NET API (Windows) – API enables you to create your own Unwired Accelerator client. See the Unwired Accelerator Mobile Application Development Tutorial, Administration Guide and %SYBASE%\tomcat\webapps\onepage\dotnet\docs\index.html.
MobiLink and UltraLite™ support – install the MobilLink server automatically as part of Unwired Accelerator installation, or specify an existing MobiLink server as part of the Unwired Accelerator configuration. From Mobile Web Studio, you can deploy mobile applications to the MobiLink server, which in turn, makes mobile applications available to mobile devices running the UltraLite database. See the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide, the Developer’s Guide, and the Quick Start Guide.
Synchronization improvements – configure automated push synchronization, either from Mobile Web Studio or from an offline mobile device, to ensure offline mobile users get updates automatically as data in the database changes. Features include:
Synchronization administration GUI – from Mobile Web Studio, the administrator can assign an application to one or more registered mobile users, can monitor user subscriptions, and can troubleshoot problems.
Synchronization from a mobile device – an individual user can subscribe to an application and, if authorized, modify the subscription.
Differential synchronization – only changes are synchronized.
Agents are created automatically for performance, or you can create your own custom agents.
Schema changes have been made to PortalDB and uaml to support push synchronization. See the Unwired Accelerator Administration Guide.
Template support:
JSP templates
Device templates – BlackBerry customization
Unwired Accelerator and CSI integration – security
Closer integration with CSI
Self-registration for LDAP and other CSI providers (including password changes)
X.509 Certificate authentication support, with Certificate Revocation List (CRL) certificate validation
RADIUS authentication support
Auditing
See “CSI security providers for Remedy/BO (EBF #13973)” for additional functionality
if you installed EBF #13973.
Linked parameters
BlackBerry improvements (online and offline)
See “BlackBerry client enhancements (EBF #13973)” for additional functionality
if you installed EBF #13973.
JSP templates:
More opportunities to insert JSP – JSP code can be easily integrated with Mobile Web Studio capture and playback capabilities. You can now create a template that includes JSP code, rather than referring to a JSP file. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Preprocessing, and so on.
Mobile Web Studio changes:
Removed continuous capture from workflow, and references to continuous capture in the documentation.
Removed Split window from workflow – can be enabled in global properties. See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Added new options to the Web elements drop-down list – Custom, Crystal Reports, and Custom XSL.
Added Domino integration through a Domino creation wizard
Workspace – includes a new optional file in the tomcat\webapps\onepage\config folder called tooling.cachelist.xml to return connection cache information to Eclipse. This provides Eclipse with both the profile system and Visual SQL without direct access to the database using a JDBC connection.
