Agents allow you to schedule, or externally trigger, automatic processing of a mobile application’s content. You can also create agent rules that evaluate a mobile application’s content based on specified criteria. If a mobile application’s content matches the criteria, certain actions take place, such as writing the application’s content to an e-mail message, to a database, or to disk, which is accomplished using an adapter. If the application’s content does not match the criteria, a transaction message is written to a log.
The following workflow guides you through this process.
To automate a mobile agent or adapter

Create an e-mail, file system, or database adapter, using the Create New Adapter dialog. Right-click Mobile Automation in the Enterprise Explorer and select New|Mobile Adapter|Adapter Type, where Adapter Type is the type of adapter you are creating.
