Updating applications on the BlackBerry device

This section describes how to update an application from the BlackBerry device.

StepsUpdating applications on BlackBerry

  1. In Mobile Web Studio, select Applications from the Build menu in the left pane, select Approved under Application Manager, and select the employeeSales application.

  2. In Mobile Web Studio, set the application to be available for disconnected mobile devices.

    NoteSelect “Make Available for Disconnected Mobile Devices” only for the master application, not its linked applications. For example, you would select “Make Available for Disconnected Mobile Devices” for the employeeSales application (the master application), but not the customerOrder application (its linked, or “child” application).

  3. On the BlackBerry device, refresh the application.

  4. Open the application.

  5. Highlight a record, and select Click Thru from the trackwheel menu.

  6. Highlight a line item, and select Edit from the trackwheel menu.

  7. On the Update Record window, select Clear Field from the trackwheel menu, and enter 10 to change the Quantity value.

    If you had set up data validation, as described in “Creating an update application”, you would receive a custom error message if you tried to enter an invalid entry.

  8. Select Save from the track wheel menu, and save the change.

  9. Select Send Update to update the UA server with the changes.

  10. Open the Sales application again, and check the record and line item. You see the new value in the quantity column.

    NoteThe changes made affect only the persistent data on the device, not in the source data. The next time you refresh this application, the changes take effect on the Unwired Accelerator server.
