Optionally you can configure M-Business Anywhere to work with Unwired Accelerator, so that you can deploy mobile applications to mobile devices, such as PocketPC and Palm OS. Mobile Web Studio provides menu access to M-Business Anywhere functionality; in fact, you should manage M-Business Anywhere through the Mobile Web Studio interface and not through the M-Business Anywhere interface.
With Unwired Accelerator 8.0, you must enable M-Business
Anywhere in the global.properties.xml file.
See “Configuring M-Business Anywhere” for
information about setting up M-Business.
All M-Business Client users require an M-Business Anywhere user account to receive mobile applications upon synchronization. Use Mobile Web Studio to create M-Business Anywhere accounts. See “M-Business Anywhere accounts” for more information.
From Mobile Web Studio, you can deploy mobile applications with channels, for HTML applications with a single HTTP request pointing back to the UA server. Channels on the PDA represent a set of HTML pages that are browsed by following the links on the page.
Channels can either be public channels (available to all users) or group channels (available to members of a group, or category, to which the channel is deployed).
Channels send spidered HTML to the mobile device through M-Business Anywhere server. Spidered HTML includes the captured content including embedded images and click-through links. You can specify the link depth (the level to which M-Business must spider for data starting at the first page), and the maximum size of the data (since spidering can cause data size to grow very quickly).
Typically, you need only channels if the mobile application generates images or HTML, or is not in structured, tabular format.
See for additional information and procedures.
