This document contains information about updating the Mobility Client for Palm OS using the IBM(R) WebSphere(R) Everyplace(R) Access (WEA) Device Management Software packages portlet. The Mobility Client is a component of IBM WebSphere Everyplace Connection Manager.
This file includes the following topics:
To deploy software to Palm OS devices, you must have the Device Management Software (DMS) v1.6. You can create custom packages or you can use prepared packages to upload and assign to users using DMS Software packages portlet.
On the Connection Manager installation CD 2, there is a prepared zip file that the portlets can use to load the Mobility Client code onto devices.
Each zip file that the Software packages portlet uses contains at least one application file (.app), at least one package file (.pkg), the file WSEPackage.xml, and at least one file that contains the code to be uploaded and assigned to users.
In the dmsClients directory on the installation CD 2 is a prepared file that is ready to use with the Software packages portlet. The file is:
This section explains how to take an exported Mobility Client configuration file and package it for deployment.
Warning: Ensure that the User Name and Password fields are blank or these fields are also exported.
After HotSync finishes, there are two configuration files in the Palm user's directory inside the Palm Desktop directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Palm\<Palm Username>\Backup). The files have the following naming convention:
EWG<Account Name>_acct.PDB
EWG<Adapter Name>_adpt.PDB
where <Account Name> and <Adapter Name> are the names used while configuring the Mobility Client for Palm OS (by default these are "Default"). For example, if you had used the name MyConfig when configuring both the Account and Adapter names, the resulting files are:
EWGMyConfig_acct.PDB
EWGMyConfig_adpt.PDB
EWGMyConfig_acct.PDB Xd=File EWGMyConfig_acct.PDB
EWGMyConfig_adpt.PDB Xd=File EWGMyConfig_adpt.PDB
