2 Versioning Mobile Applications

This chapter discusses these topics:

2.1 Understanding Version Information for Mobile Enterprise Applications

Each mobile application uses a program that defines certain information about the mobile application, and can also be used to set up versioning information. These programs begin with M, as opposed to P (for interactive programs), or R (for batch programs).

Some of these programs have processing options that must be set to control data processing for the mobile application. Processing option details are documented in the chapter for each mobile solution.

You use the Mobile Configuration program (P98950M) to set up versioning information for mobile applications. You can define which versions of the mobile application each user in your organization will access when they log into a mobile application. You can set up one default version for all users, or you can set up multiple versions for different roles or for specific users.


Note:

You can not edit mobile configuration records. If you need to update a record, delete the record and enter a new record with the updated information.

2.2 Setting Up Version Information for Mobile Enterprise Applications

You must set up the version information for mobile enterprise applications in the EnterpriseOne system. You cannot complete this setup in the mobile device.
