The Create Group Channel wizard allows you to associate the selected approved mobile application with an M-Business group. M-Business users automatically have access to the channel once they are associated with the group. This topic describes the properties to be set when deploying a mobile application to an M-Business group channel. To access the Create Group Channel wizard:
Right-click the mobile application and select Deploy to Mobile Devices.
Select Create Group Channel.
Click Next. Your options are:
Title – enter the name of your new channel.
Location – enter the URL of the channel content. Click Preview to preview the channel content, then close the window.
Group – select a group for this channel from the drop-down list.
Channel Size Limit (KB) – enter the maximum size that the entire channel can consume, such as 100, for 100KB.
Link Depth – enter a number, such as “0” to indicate how many levels of hypertext links to traverse from the first page of the channel when downloading channel content to the device.
Color Depth – select a value, such as “Automatic,” from the drop-down list to define the level of color to be managed by the M-Business server.
Include Images – include all the images from the channel.
Follow Offsite Links – select if M-Business Anywhere Server must fetch an HTTP address or other Web-based content from a server other than the one that hosts the channel.
Allow Binary Distribution – select this if the channel is a binary file, for example, an .exe or .dll file.
Hide From Users – hides the channel from the user's list, but still downloads the content, which is useful for "dll" updates.
Override 400 Error Handling – prevents pages that were previously downloaded to a user's mobile device from being overwritten by an error page when the page is not available during a later sync operation.
Refresh Rate – the rate at which the channel is refreshed. Options are:
Only Once – only during the initial sync.
Every Sync – every user sync.
Daily – once per day.
Only Once Every – allows you to specify the refresh rate using the fields provided.
Click Finish when done. The mobile application is associated with the specified group.
