  2. In the New Password field, type the new password.

  3. In the Repeat New Password field, type the new password again.

  4. Click Change Password to confirm the change.

Resetting Synchronization Mappings

The Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway stores mapping information for each user and device. This information enables the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway to perform fast syncs (a type of sync in which only the differences since the last sync are exchanged). Use the Reset Synchronization Mappings panel to clear this mapping for all users and all devices. Use this feature when your system is experiencing persistent synchronization problems.

To clear the user information, click the Reset Sync Mappings button.

Caution – Caution –

This button has no confirmation dialog. The reset takes place as soon as you click the button.

After you clear the user information, all users must perform a complete synchronization (a slow sync) of all data in their next session. A slow sync is significantly slower than a normal synchronization session.

You can also reset the synchronization mappings for an individual user. See Using the Users Tab for more information.

Using the Connectors Tab

The sub-tabs in the Connectors tab allow you to configure local and remote Enterprise Connectors (JCR repositories).

For details on creating Enterprise Connectors, see the Sun Glassfish Mobility Platform 1.1 Developer’s Guide for Enterprise Connectors. You can implement an Enterprise Connector by using either the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) or the Enterprise Connector Business Objects (ECBO) API.

An Enterprise Connector is a JCR repository, which is a software module that sits between the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway and an EIS/EAI system or a database. It is responsible for executing CRUD operations (create, retrieve, update, and delete) on one or more business objects available in an EIS/EAI system or database. A local Enterprise Connector is available in the same Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway; a remote Enterprise Connector runs on a different server and connects with the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway by means of a web services interface.

This section describes the following tasks:

Creating, Activating, and Deleting Enterprise Connectors

The Usage sub-tab lists all the current Enterprise Connectors. The Active checkbox is selected for all Enterprise Connectors that have been activated. This section describes how to create, activate, or delete either a local or a remote Enterprise Connectors.

ProcedureTo Create and Activate a New Enterprise Connector

In the Local Enterprise Connectors panel or the Remote Enterprise Connectors panel, follow these steps.

  1. In the Name text field, type the name of the Enterprise Connector.

  2. Click Add.

    The new Enterprise Connector appears in the list of repositories. The Active checkbox is selected by default, indicating that the Enterprise Connector has been activated.

    A new sub-tab for the Enterprise Connector appears. You can now configure the new Enterprise Connector.

ProcedureTo Delete an Enterprise Connector

Before you delete a local Enterprise Connector, delete all users associated with the remote Enterprise Connector you want to delete. See Using the Users Tab for details.

In the Local Enterprise Connectors panel or the Enterprise Connectors panel, perform the following action.

  1. Click the Delete button for the Enterprise Connector you want to delete.

    The sub-tab for the deleted Enterprise Connector no longer appears.

ProcedureTo Activate or Deactivate an Existing Enterprise Connector

In the Local Enterprise Connectors panel or the Remote Enterprise Connectors panel, follow these steps.

  1. Select or deselect the Active checkbox for the Enterprise Connector whose status you wish to change.

  2. Click Save to save your changes.

Configuring Enterprise Connectors

Use the sub-tab for an Enterprise Connector to perform the following tasks:

You can deploy an ECBO API connector either locally or remotely. You deploy a JAX-RS connector as a web application and can access it by setting the uri property (whose value may include localhost if the connector is deployed in same container as the Gateway). JAX-RS connectors are always defined as Local Enterprise Connectors, whether the value of the uri property is localhost or a remote host.

The installer automatically creates three sample Enterprise Connectors, which appear in the Admin Console. One of them, Salesforce, is a JAX-RS connector. The other two are ECBO API connectors; they are created as local Enterprise Connectors in a single-tier installation and as remote Enterprise Connectors in a two-tier installation.

ProcedureTo Configure a Local Enterprise Connector

To add or edit the settings and properties for a local Enterprise Connector, follow these steps.

  1. In the Local Enterprise Connector Properties panel, specify a value for the business-object-provider property (for an ECBO API connector) or the uri property (for a JAX-RS connector).

    This value is the class name of the Enterprise Connector's implementation of the com.sun.mep.connector.api.BusinessObjectProvider class. For MusicDB, for example, the value is com.sun.mep.connector.jdbc.album.MusicAlbumProvider.

  2. Click Save in the Local Enterprise Connector Properties panel.

  3. In the Name field of the Local Enterprise Connector Settings panel, edit the name of the Enterprise Connector.

    The Name field contains the name of the Enterprise Connector that was specified when it was created.

  4. In the Class/JNDI Name field for a local Enterprise Connector, type or edit the class name or JNDI name of the Enterprise Connector.

    If the connector is packaged as a Resource Adapter, you normally specify the JNDI name. If it is packaged in a JAR file, you specify the class, which is typically com.sun.mep.connector.jcr.DbRepository.

  5. In the Workspace Name field, type or edit the name of the workspace for the Enterprise Connector.

    For a JAX-RS connector, the workspace name does not matter. (In the sample connector, it is default.) For a connector that uses the ECBO API, the workspace name should be the same as the name specified for the workspace element in the resource file for the Enterprise Connector.

    The other fields in this panel (Remote DB Name, Content Type, Register With URL, and Default URL) are not used for Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform.

  6. Click Save in the Local Enterprise Connector Settings panel.

ProcedureTo Configure a Remote Enterprise Connector

To add or edit the settings and properties for a remote Enterprise Connector, follow these steps.

  1. In the Remote Enterprise Connector Properties panel, specify values for the properties used by the remote Enterprise Connector.

    The following table shows the properties and values that are normally specified.

    Name 

    Value 

    ws.request.timeout

    60s

    jndi.name

    JNDI name of connector (for example, mep/musicdb)

    ws.cache.ttl

    5m

    business-object-provider

    com.sun.mep.connector.jdbc.album.MusicAlbumProvider (or the equivalent class for your Enterprise Connector)

    ws.coalesce.max

    5

    ws.cache.spanSessions

    false

    ws.connect.timeout

    60s

    ws.endpoint.url

    http://hostname:port-value/ds-jcr-webservice-server/SynchronicaUDCService

    ws.coalesce.period

    20ms

  2. Click Save in the Remote Enterprise Connector Properties panel.

  3. In the Name field of the Remote Enterprise Connector Settings panel, edit the name of the Enterprise Connector.

    The Name field contains the name of the Enterprise Connector that was specified when it was created.

  4. In the WS Endpoint URL field, type or edit the URL of the web service through which you access the remote Enterprise Connector.

    This URL has the following format:

    http://hostname:port-value/ds-jcr-webservice-server/SynchronicaUDCService

    where hostname is the name of the remote system, and port-value is the HTTP port (usually 8080 or 8181).

  5. In the Workspace Name field, type or edit the name of the workspace for the Enterprise Connector.

    The workspace name should be the same as the name specified for the workspace element in the resource file for the Enterprise Connector.

    The other fields in this panel (Remote DB Name, Content Type, Register With URL, and Default URL) are not used for Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform.

  6. Click Save in the Remote Enterprise Connector Settings panel.

Using the SMS Tab

The SMS tab contains only one panel, SMPP Connection, which allows you to configure Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) settings for your SMS provider. These settings serve several purposes:

ProcedureTo Configure SMS Provider Settings

To configure the settings for your SMS provider, follow these steps in the SMPP Connection panel. You must obtain the information for the SMPP settings from your SMS provider.

  1. In the Server field, type the hostname of the SMPP server.

  2. In the Port field, type the port number of the SMPP server.

  3. In the Username field, type the user name given to you by your SMS provider.

  4. In the Password field, type the password given to you by your SMS provider.

  5. Verify that the information is correct and click Save.

Using the Preferences Tab

The Preferences tab allows you to define and edit push synchronization settings common to all users. If you enable push synchronization, you can send messages to users asking them to perform a synchronization.

You can use the Preferences tab only if the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway is configured to allow push synchronization. By default, the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway is not configured to allow push synchronization, and a message stating this appears in the Preferences tab panel.

This section describes the following tasks:

ProcedureTo Enable Push Synchronization for All Users

To enable push synchronization, you must edit a configuration file and then stop and restart the Enterprise Server. You perform these tasks outside the Admin Console.

  1. Open the file gmp-domain-dir/lib/ds/conf/gateway.conf in a text editor (gmp-domain-dir is the location of the Enterprise Server domain for Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform).

  2. Locate the following line:

    push.polling.check_interval = 0

  3. Change the 0 to a value that specifies how often, in milliseconds, the Gateway Engine should check for updates on the EIS/EAI system or database. The following setting specifies an interval of two minutes:

    push.polling.check_interval = 120000

  4. Save and close the file.

  5. Stop the Enterprise Server (as-install represents the directory where the Enterprise Server is installed):


    as-install/bin/asadmin stop-domain mep

  6. Start the Enterprise Server again:


    as-install/bin/asadmin start-domain mep

    You may be prompted for the master password (the default is adminpass). If not, you may need to specify the location of the password file, which is located in the directory where the download bundle forSun GlassFish Mobility Platform was unzipped:


    as-install/bin/asadmin start-domain --passwordfile install-dir/sgmp-1_1-fcs-operating-system/password.txt mep

    where install-dir is the directory where you placed the download bundle.

Next Steps

After you restart the Enterprise Server, the Preferences tab contains three panels. In the Push Strategies panel, the OMA DS Server Alert checkbox is selected, indicating that push synchronization is enabled.

ProcedureTo Enable and Disable Push Synchronization

Use the Push Strategies panel to turn push synchronization on and off for all users. If you enable push synchronization for all users, you can configure it for individual users in the Users panel, as described in To Edit User Preferences.

In order for changes in this panel to take effect, you must stop and restart the Enterprise Server.

To use this feature, follow these steps.

  1. To enable push synchronization for all users, select the OMA DS Server Alert checkbox. To disable this feature, deselect the checkbox.

  2. Click Save to store and apply your settings, or click Reset to return to the original setting.

  3. Stop the Enterprise Server (as-install represents the directory where the Enterprise Server is installed):


    as-install/bin/asadmin stop-domain mep

  4. Start the Enterprise Server again:


    as-install/bin/asadmin start-domain mep

    You will be asked for the master password; the default is adminpass.

ProcedureTo Change the Number of Alerts

Use the Number of Alerts panel to set the maximum number of alerts (push synchronization messages) that can be sent in a day, both for all users (combined) and for each individual user. Use this feature to control the cost or bandwidth usage incurred by push synchronization. Follow these steps:

  1. In the Default (for all Users) field, type the maximum number of alerts per day for all users.

    Once this value is reached, push synchronization is disabled for all users until the next day. The default value is 1000.

  2. In the Max for a Single User field, type the maximum number of alerts per day for a single user.

    Once this value is reached, push synchronization is disabled for this user until the next day. The default value is 1000.

  3. Click Save to store and apply these settings, or click Reset to return to the original settings.

ProcedureTo Set the Schedule for All Users

Use the Schedule panel to specify how often Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform checks the server for updated data for a user. If updated data is found, a push synchronization message is sent to a user's mobile device. To use this panel, follow these steps.

  1. In the Interval (Default) field, type the desired number of minutes Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform waits before it checks the server for updated data for a user.

    When you create a new user, the default value is used automatically. To modify the value for an individual user, use the Users tab as described in To Edit User Preferences. The default value for this field is 60.

  2. In the Interval (Minimum) field, type the minimum number of minutes that can be specified for an individual user.

    The default value for this field is 60.

  3. Click Save to store and apply these settings, or click Reset to return to the original settings.

Using the Users Tab

The Users tab and its sub-tabs allow you to add new users, delete users, view users' synchronization logs, change synchronization settings for individual users, and perform other tasks.

This section describes the following tasks:

Creating New Users

To create a Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform user, use the Account Data panel of the Create User sub-tab to create a user for a specific connector.

Users identify and authenticate themselves in the different parts of Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform by using three different credentials: an email address, a username, and a password.

ProcedureTo Create a New User

Follow these steps to create a user that will be used to authenticate with the Enterprise Connector.

  1. Click the Create User sub-tab.

  2. In the Email Address field, type the user's email address, which will serve as the user name for the client application to identify itself to the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway.

  3. In the Password field, type the password.

    • On a single-tier system, this is the password for both the Gateway and the Enterprise Connector.

    • On a two-tier system, this is the password for the Gateway.

  4. In the Username field, type the user name for the Enterprise Connector

    • On a single-tier system, this is the user name for both the Gateway and the Enterprise Connector.

    • On a two-tier system, this is the user name for the Gateway.

  5. In the Phone Number field, type the phone number of the mobile device, to be used for sending messages to the device for push synchronization, poison pills, or client provisioning.

    Specify the full international phone number, including the initial plus sign (for example, +19995551212).

  6. Choose the Enterprise Connector for the application from the Enterprise Connector drop-down list.

  7. Click Register to create the user.

Editing and Deleting Users

The Edit User sub-tab allows you to view information on all users, modify the settings for a user, or delete a user. You can perform the following tasks:

Viewing User Information

The Edit User sub-tab lists all the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform users for your installation in a table that contains the columns shown in Table 1–1.

Table 1–1 Columns in the User Information Table

Column 

Description 

Email 

The user's email address 

Username 

The user name for the user 

Enterprise Connector 

The name of the Enterprise Connector as specified in the Connectors tab. 

The name of the Enterprise Connector may appear as Auto-select. This name appears because users are automatically created when a client attempts a synchronization using an email address that does not match the name of an existing user. In that case, a login to each connector in turn is attempted with the name and password supplied. If the login is successful, an Auto-select user is created, and subsequent sessions for that user will also attempt a login to each connector in turn. 

Since all MusicDB users use the same name and password (musicdbuser, musicdbpass), you must prefix the name sent from the client with musicdbuser in order for an automatically created user to auto-select the MusicDB connector.

First 

The date of the first synchronization session for the user 

Last 

The date of the last synchronization session for the user 

Syncs 

The total number of synchronization sessions. For some mobile devices, a synchronization session may consist of multiple sub-sessions. 

Failures 

The number of failed synchronization sessions. Failure can be caused by a synchronization error or a wireless link interruption. Use the log file to determine the cause of failure. 

Delete User 

See To Delete a User

Show Today's Log 

See To View a User's Log

Reset Sync. Mappings 

See To Reset Synchronization Mappings for a User

Edit User Preferences

SMS Poison Pill 

See To Send a Poison Pill to a Client

SMS Sync 

See To Send a Synchronization Message to a Client

Use this list as follows:

ProcedureTo Delete a User

Use the Delete User column to delete a user's account. This action deletes the user's Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform account and removes all information about previous synchronization sessions from the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform database, but it does not delete any data on the EIS/EAI server or database or on the mobile device.

Note –

Before you can remove an Enterprise Connector from the Connectors sub-tabs, you must first delete all users for that Enterprise Connector.

  1. Find the user whose account you want to delete.

  2. Under the Delete User column, click Delete for that user.

    There is no confirmation dialog. The user's account is now deleted.

ProcedureTo View a User's Log

Use the Show Today's Log column to view the current log for a user.

This action displays contents of the server log in a new browser tab or window. Use the log to troubleshoot synchronization problems and report errors.

Note –

Logging messages for the most recent 10 synchronization operations for the current day are displayed. You can use the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server Admin Console to view the complete log.

  1. Find the user whose log you want to view.

  2. Under the Show Today's Log column, click Show Log for that user.

    The log appears in a new browser tab or window. If there is no log for the current day, the following message appears: 


        There are no synchronization sessions
    for the selected user

ProcedureTo Reset Synchronization Mappings for a User

Use the Reset Sync. Mappings column to reset the synchronization mappings for a particular user. You can reset the mappings for all users from the Gateway tab; see Resetting Synchronization Mappings.

This action resets the stored synchronization information (mapping) for the particular user, which will cause a complete synchronization of all data during the next synchronization. Perform this action if a particular user has problems synchronizing. This action will significantly slow down the next synchronization for that user.

  1. Find the user whose synchronization mappings you want to reset.

  2. Under the Reset Sync. Mappings column, click Reset for that user.

ProcedureTo Edit User Preferences

Use the Edit User Preferences column to edit push synchronization preferences as well as the telephone number for a particular user's mobile device.

For more information on push synchronization, see Using the Preferences Tab.

  1. Find the user whose preferences you want to edit.

  2. Under the Edit User Preferences column, click Preferences.

    Another version of the Edit User tab appears, with a Close button at the top and the label “Editing preferences for user”, where user is the user's email address.

  3. You can enable server push for a user only if push synchronization is enabled for all users. (See To Enable Push Synchronization for All Users.) To enable automatic server push for the user, use the Server Push panel as follows:

    1. Select the Enable Server Push checkbox.

    2. Click Save.

  4. In the Mobile Device Configuration panel, edit the telephone number or type a new telephone number in the Phone Number field, then click Save.

    A success message appears at the bottom of the window.

    1. In the Interval (Minimum) field, type the minimum number of minutes Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform should wait before checking the server for new items for a user.

      This value must be no less than the minimum specified for all users.

    2. Click Save.

  6. To return to the original Edit User display, click the Back button.

ProcedureTo Send a Poison Pill to a Client

Use the Send Poison Pill column to destroy all the data on a mobile device. You may need to do this if, for example, the mobile device is stolen. The poison pill is a message sent to the device. If the client application on the device is set up to handle this message, the application will destroy the data.

Before you can use the Send Poison Pill column, you must use the SMS tab to set up the SMPP connection for your SMS provider, as described in Using the SMS Tab.

  1. Find the user to whose mobile device you wish to send the poison pill.

  2. Click Wipe Data.

ProcedureTo Send a Synchronization Message to a Client

Use the SMS Sync column to notify a client application that it needs to synchronize data with the server. This notification is a message sent to the mobile device. If the client application on the device is programmed to listen for alerts and to act on them appropriately without user intervention, the client application will perform the synchronization.

Before you can use the SMS Sync column, you must use the SMS tab to set up the SMPP connection for your SMS provider, as described in Using the SMS Tab.

  1. Find the user to whose mobile device you wish to send the synchronization message.

  2. From the drop-down menu, choose the type of synchronization you want the mobile device to perform.

  3. Click Sync.

Using the Provisioning Tab

The Provisioning tab allows you to manage provisioning for mobile client applications. You can make client applications available so that users can download them to their mobile devices, and you can upload such applications to the Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform Gateway so that they are available for users to download.

Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform provides a provisioning repository where you can store Provisioning Archive (PAR) files, each of which can contain many bundles. Each bundle represents a mobile client application that can be downloaded.

For details about client provisioning, including information on how to create PAR files, go to http://java.sun.com/j2ee/provisioning/index.jsp and download the J2EE Client Provisioning Reference Implementation (RI). The User's Guide included in this bundle describes how to create PAR files.

Removing Bundles from the Repository

To remove one or more bundles from the provisioning repository, use the Repository Contents panel as follows:

The files are removed from the repository, but they remain in the file system from which they were uploaded.

Uploading Files to the Provisioning Repository

Use the Upload sub-tab to place bundles in the provisioning repository and to notify clients that the bundles are available.

This section covers the following topics:

ProcedureTo Upload a File to the Provisioning Repository

Use the Upload Provisioning Archives panel to upload a PAR file to the provisioning repository.

  1. Type the full path name of a PAR file in the PAR file field, or click Browse to open a file chooser and select the file to upload.

  2. Click Upload PAR File.

    The PAR file appears in the Repository Contents table in the Repository sub-tab.

Next Steps

After you upload a PAR file, you can notify users of its existence by using the SMS Notification panel.

ProcedureTo Send an SMS Notification to Users

Use the SMS Notification panel to send an SMS message to users to notify them of the existence of new bundles. The message is sent to all users for whom phone numbers were entered at the time the user was created.

  1. (Optional) Edit the message in the text field at the top of the panel to make it apply to your specific situation.

    The default text specifies the URL to which PAR files are uploaded.

    Your edited text will appear in the text field the next time you use the Upload tab.

  2. (Optional) If you want the message to be sent automatically whenever a new bundle is uploaded, select the checkbox.

  3. Click the Send SMS button to send the message manually.

Searching the Provisioning Repository

Use the Search sub-tab to search the provisioning repository for MIDP 2.0 bundles, using a variety of search criteria.

You can specify an application name or vendor name, or you can specify one or more keywords that can be used to search the provisioning repository. Keywords correspond to a list of bundle requirements that are defined for all bundles. For example, Bits Per Pixel or Screen Size are common bundle requirements that can be used as keywords.

The Search for Bundles panel contains the following items:

Note –

The Match All and Match Any radio buttons are binary selections. That is, you can choose to search using one selection or the other, but not both.
