Managing the Client Database

Client data are stored in two locations:

• An internal library or database containing all default client data definitions. The internal library is defined and supported by Access Manager software.

• An external library containing customized client data definitions. It overrides client data within the internal library.

When Mobile Access software is installed, all client data are stored in the internal library. Once you customize a device, an override version of the device is created and stored in the external library. The data in these libraries are merged at server startup time.

The Mobile Access product provides patches to update the internal library on a quarterly basis by adding new client data definitions and updating existing clients when their properties change. This process enables you to update the internal library at periodic intervals. It does not alter the customized data stored in the external library.

The name for this patch is PortalMAClientDeviceUpdateRevnn. The number for this patch is 116412-nn. The value for nn is the patch sequence number. For example, nn is 01 for the first patch and 02 for the second patch.
