This section describes how to install M-Business Anywhere server and client software, and to integrate M-Business Anywhere with Unwired Accelerator.
You can download M-Business Anywhere Server and M-Business Client from the Web. You must purchase M-Business development and deployment licenses separately.
Typically, M-Business Anywhere is installed on the same machine as Unwired Accelerator, but you can install it on any supported machine or platform. If you install on different machines, you must make additional configuration changes.
Installing M-Business Anywhere server on Windows
In this step, download and install the M-Business Anywhere server software on Windows.
Before you begin, select Start | Programs | Sybase | UnwiredAccelerator | Stop UA to stop the Tomcat application server and the Unwired Accelerator ASA database.
If the ASA database is running, you cannot configure
the M-Business Anywhere server and start its processes
successfully.
Download the M-Business Anywhere development software using the URL and password that was sent to you in the order-confirmation e-mail.
Select M-Business Anywhere Developer Edition, and follow the online instructions for downloading.
Install M-Business Server using M-Business Anywhere documentation. Keep the following in mind:
When prompted for a license key, enter the license key that was sent to you in the order-confirmation e-mail when you purchased M-Business Anywhere.
When prompted for “sync server port,” enter 8092 (see
the “Requirements” section in the Installation
Guide), to prevent port conflicts with port 80, which
is used by many Web servers).
The M-Business Anywhere installation directory is referred
to as MBUSINESS_SERVER in this document.
Proceed to “Installing M-Business Client on Windows.”
Installing M-Business
Client on Windows
In this step, download and install the M-Business Client software on Windows, and mobile device software.
Download the M-Business Client software for your mobile device, using the URL and password that was sent to you in the order-confirmation e-mail.
Install the M-Business Client software.
Open a Web browser and enter the M-Business Anywhere administrative URL:
http://hostname:8091
Where hostname is the machine on which the M-Business Anywhere server software is installed; for example:
http://labxp:8091
The M-Business Anywhere login screen displays.
The administrative login is “admin,” with
no password, but you do not have to log in at this time. You can
view the M-Business Client User Guide from
the login screen, or at http://hostname:8091/enterprise_doc/Admin_MBiz.pdf.
From the M-Business Anywhere login screen, download the M-Business Client software for your mobile device:
Select “Download Client Software.”
Select the language.
Select the client software to download for your mobile device.
PalmOS – install Palm Desktop 4.x with HotSync.
Pocket PC – install Pocket PC with ActiveSync (3.0 for Windows CE devices, 3.1 for Pocket PCs).
M-Business client – install on your hard drive or mobile device.
For other mobile devices, obtain client software from
the manufacturer.
In the download window, use the online help for the selected device to download, install, configure, and synchronize the software for your mobile device. See “Connecting M-Business Anywhere and M-Business Client software” or M-Business Connect procedures.
When performing synchronizations on applications, the character
set of the application must match the Windows environment. For example,
if you are synchronizing a double-byte application, your Windows
environment must also be set to a double-byte character set.
Once you create mobile applications with Mobile Web Studio, and synchronize, you will see the applications on the mobile device. To create mobile applications, see these Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide.
Select Start | Programs | Sybase | Unwired Accelerator | Start UA to restart the ASA database and Tomcat application server.
Connecting M-Business
Anywhere and M-Business Client software
In this step, create a connection from the M-Business Client software to the M-Business Anywhere server for each user created.
From the desktop or mobile device, select Start | Programs | M-Business Client | M-Business Connect.
For some mobile devices, if you have synchronized before, use Start | Programs | M-Business Client | Tools | Server Options.
On the M-Business Connect window, select Properties.
On Edit Server Profile window, specify the connection information:
Hostname – specify your machine
name, such as labxp.
Port – specify the port number, such as 8092.
This is the M-Business Client port (or “sync port”)
described in the Installation Guide.
Your account – enter the M-Business user name and password. See the “Self-registration” section in “Configuring global.properties.xml for M-Business Anywhere” for user account information.
Connection options – select “Connect to this server during device synchronizations,” and “Refresh all content at next sync.”
Optionally, select Test to test the client-to-server connection. If the test fails, make sure you entered the connection values correctly. Close the Test Server window.
Click OK to save the changes.
Close the M-Business Connect window.
