Chapter 5: Creating a Multipage Mobile Application with Transaction Support

Mobile applications with transaction support tutorial

The tutorial shows you how to create a mobile application that supports transaction processing. In the tutorial, you set up the building blocks first—a personalization key so you can sort customers by geographic region, an update application to hold updated data, a customer list application that selects customers from the sampledb database, and an employee list that selects sales representatives from sampledb. You also create a link from the customer list application to the update application, so changes you make to the customer list will be held until they are uploaded, and a listener process that detects changes to a customer identifier.

Once these steps are finished, the tutorial leads you through creating the mobile application to view sales figures for each employee, by region and customer identifier, creating an event for the application, and publishing the event as a mobile application. Finally, the tutorial shows you how to create a mobile application to update values from a mobile device.

The final application enables you to view a list of employees in the sales department with the total sales for each of their customers. Clicking on the customer id will show the customer’s name with the sales order of each product. There, the user can update the quantity requested for each of the products ordered.
