Deploying to PDA

To deploy an application to PDAs, such as PocketPC and PalmOS, you must create a page and page group in Mobile Web Studio to act as a container for the application. Upon synchronization, the application is deployed to the PDA in the container.

See the Quick Start Guide and the Mobile Application Development Tutorial for information about using mobile applications on PDAs.

Deploying applications to PDA (connected and disconnected modes)

   • Select Pages in the left pane, and click the New button.

   • Click Add.

   • Click Search.

   • Select the application, and click Add.

   • Click Save.

   • Click OK to save, and OK to confirm.

   • Click Close to exit the Page Builder window.

   • Approve the page (click New under Page Manager, right-click the application, select Status | Approved, and click OK to confirm).

2. Create a page group using the page you just created:

   • Click Add.

   • Click Search.

   • Select the page, and click Add.

   • Click Save.

3. Deploy the page group:

   • Select Page Groups, and Approved.

4. If you have not already done so, set up a Portal Interface user account for the page group:

   1. Open a second Internet Explorer window, and enter the following in the Location field:

      http://hostname.domain.com:port/onepage/mpindex.jsp

      For example:

      http://lab2k.sybase.com:4040/onepage/mpindex.jsp
