Deploying Composite Applications

Once you have created a composite application, associated it with the appropriate template, and performed the tasks described in Before Deploying Mobile Applications, you can deploy the composite application.

Deploying to BlackBerry devices

  1. Right-click the approved composite application and select Deploy.

  2. In the Deploy Composite Application wizard, select from these deployment options:

    • Deploy Composite Application to BlackBerry – when you deploy the composite application to a BlackBerry device, a new mobile application is created and displays in Mobile Applications|Approved.

    • Download the Unwired Accelerator BlackBerry Client – this option is available only if the file, blackberry.properties exists in the com.sybase.epclient plugin directory, which is created by the installation program. The installation program checks for the existence of the BlackBerry simulator and the BlackBerry desktop, and adds those directories to the blackberry.properties file.

    Click Next.

  3. This step varies according to which option you selected in the previous step. The table below describes the different wizards.

    Deploy Composite Application to BlackBerry

    BlackBerry Composite Application wizard – when you click Finish, a new mobile application is created with an HTML element structured as a table. The table headers are the tab names and the table content is each mobile application name.

    A server-side click-across event is attached to each mobile application, linking them to the actual mobile applications. Some basic record layout, split, and filter rules are set on the HTML element.

    1. Specify the directories for the simulator and the desktop. The default directories are provided based on the contents of the blackberry.properties file. Click Browse to change the entries. When you click Finish, the selected .cod and .alx files are downloaded from the server to the specified directories. You need to do this only once. If you select Deploy BlackBerry at a later time, the Override option allows you to overwrite the .cod and .alx files.

    2. For the desktop from which you are deploying/syncing, download the files to the BlackBerry device.

  4. Click Finish.

  5. Your next step is to deploy and sync the mobile application to the mobile device. See Deploying Mobile Applications.
