Typically, all Unwired Accelerator components are installed on the UA server in a network domain. Figure 5-1 shows a functional view of Unwired Accelerator.
Figure 5-1: Unwired Accelerator architecture
Unwired Accelerator components include:
CSI framework – CSI uses profiles and roles stored in PortalDB to authenticate users and authorize their access to mobile applications and data.
onepage application – the main Web application that contains the portal engine and Mobile Web Studio.
The Application Builder is the primary tool for: accessing element sources, whether database, Web or JSP application, Web service, file, or SAP and PeopleSoft applications; capturing applications; and manipulating the application for presentation on the mobile device.
Applications are stored in the PortalDB, and deployed to M-Business Anywhere server (or to BES/MDS if configured), or to Portal Interface. The Portal Interface is a desktop interface that can be used as a portal for Web applications.
M-Business Anywhere server and client – mobile applications are stored in the AvantGo Database (AGDB). Users access the most current version of data and application upon logging in to their mobile devices, or upon synchronization.
Mobile applications can be accessed in online mode (either through direct cradle connection or wireless access), or in offline mode (cached in the mobile device’s memory).
Answers Anywhere – a default agent network is provided, which enables natural language search for information in mobile applications from various interfaces, including SMS, e-mail, and mobile device. The application developer can add search synonyms. If you already have a customized agent network, you can replace the default agent network with your customized version.
Interfaces – mobile applications can be deployed to a variety of interfaces, including SMS, mobile devices, WAP enabled devices, and desktop, in both connected and disconnected modes.
