High-Level Design Overview

2-5

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

Two types of applications can be created with Sybase Unwired Platform native
applications and mobile workflows.
Native applications allow the developer to write custom code using C#, Java, Objective-C
(depending on the target device).
Mobile workflows are a fast and simple way to build applications that support simple
business workflows such as expense approvals or vacation requests.
z

Supported on iPhone, iPad, Windows, Windows Mobile.

Regardless of which type of application you create, Mobile Business Objects (MBOs) are
the heart of the Unwired Server package.
z

An MBO is the data access layer and provides CRUD operations. The business logic is
then implemented at the application level.
MBOs contain Attributes and Operations

Attributes are mapped to the underlying data fields from a database or a web service (
output ).
Operations contain parameters ( or inputs ) that a client application can pass to the backend EIS system.

Sybase Unwired Platform is the Mobile Enterprise Application Platform that enables
enterprise developers to simply and quickly develop applications that connect business
data to mobile workers on any device. The Unwired Platform addresses the difficult
mobile challenge of creating and managing multiple mobile applications that securely
connect a variety of heterogeneous back-end data sources to major device types.

The Mobile Business Object (MBO)


Sybase Unwired Platform integrates and abstracts enterprise
services by representing them as Mobile Business Objects
Mobile Business Objects (MBOs):

Represent the data available in the backend exposed via


standard services
z Enterprise applications can provide data to mobile applications
by being invoked on demand or via events
z

Example:
Enterprise application exposes an interface to retrieve and/or
create a list of Sales Orders together with its line items
z Would be represented as a Sales Order MBO with an
operation to create new sales orders
z

2-7

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

An MBO contains Attributes and Operations. The MBO API gives programmatic access
to the members of an MBO as well as means to access, update and delete data.

Native vs. Workflow

Native applications:
Designed specifically for a target platform and coded in the
native language of that platform
z More complex and robust
Used for business critical scenarios
z

Workflow applications:
A simple XML form that is sent to the supported target device or
can be initiated from the device, if it already resides on the
device
z There is no logic in a workflow app - it's just a form that is filled
out and sent back
z No coding is necessary to build a workflow application

Role of the Unwired Server


Unwired Server is the enterprise server included with Sybase
Unwired Platform
Unwired Server manages:

Mobile application logic (MBOs)


z Connections to back-end data resources
z Replication based synchronization (RBS) uses an occasionally
connected synchronization channel
z Messaging based synchronization (MBS) uses asynchronous
messaging to upload and download data
z Data Change Notification (DCN) pushes updates from the
backend system to the Sybase Unwired Platform cache
database, whereby mobile users are alerted of changes made
to the backend data
z

2 - 20

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

Configuration tasks for Unwired Server vary depending on many factors, including
whether you are deploying Unwired Server to a development or production environment.

When DCN pushes updates from the backend system to the Sybase Unwired Platform
cache database, those changes are then synchronized to the mobile clients as appropriate.
The synchronization between the Sybase Unwired Platform cache database and the
Sybase Unwired Platform clients may or may not be a push synchronization.

If you are concerned about opening ports in your firewalls to support mobile applications,
Sybase Unwired Platform resolves this through the use of a Relay Server. Mobile devices
connect to Relay Server only in the DMZ using only standard HTTP ports (these ports are
typically open in enterprise firewalls).
RSOE (Relay Server Outbound enablers) are used to open outbound connections from the
Sybase Unwired Platform and Afaria server farms to the Relay servers.
HTTP load balancers in the DMZ distribute mobile device connections between the Relay
servers.
Multiple Sybase Unwired Platform and Afaria servers are run in a farm to provide highavailability.
Primary and Secondary Unwired servers share a common consolidated database.

Key Tiers in Clusters

Two key tiers in a cluster


z

Load-balancing server tier clusters

Improve the system performance by sharing workloads and requests


Requests initiated from the user are managed by a load balancer, and
distributed by relay servers
Every node in the Unwired Server cluster scales automatically when another
node joins or leaves the cluster

Failover data tier clusters

Improve the availability of runtime database services to Unwired Servers


Failover clusters have at least one redundant node, which provides data tier
services when the primary node hosting the databases fail
The most common size for a failover consolidated database cluster is two
nodes - the minimum requirement to provide redundancy and thereby
eliminate single points of failure

Continued

2 - 36

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

Load balancing is a high-availability strategy that prevents any one server from getting
overloaded with work, thereby adversely affecting system-wide performance, or even
causing the server to fail entirely.

Failover is another high-availability strategy that allows a secondary server to take over in
the event of a fault or failure in the first server, thus allowing normal use to continue.
Automatic failover is a default behavior of the cluster; it does not require manual
intervention or configuration.

Best Practices for Collaboration in Shared


Development Environments

Share an Unwired Server, so packages can be deployed to a


common server
Place the Unwired Server and data tier on the same node
z Use a common system data tier for development and testing
so that data is centrally managed
z Divide developers or groups of developers into "tenants" and
use domains to partition the server environment
z Ensure that the development environment is similar to, but
separate from, the production environment
z May want to use the default Open LDAP with its basic
application security
z

2 - 38

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

Make each developer (or a representative developer from development groups) a domain
administrator so he or she can deploy packages to the shared Unwired Server.

Fault-tolerant System

Sybase recommends a redundant node and cluster strategy


for most production environments to support:
Load balancing
z Failover
z

In an Unwired Platform production environment, system


design tends to favor load balancing over failover

z

The data tier node includes the consolidated database (CDB), the cluster
database, the monitoring database, and the messaging database. An Afaria
database is also installed if you install the Afaria server

Add a Generic Service to the Data Cluster before you can install your
runtime server nodes
Set Up Runtime Server Tier Nodes once the generic service is available
Install Third-party software on each server in a cluster.
Validate the Cluster

Once the runtime and data tiers are installed, ensure that these components
have been set up correctly

Architectural Strategies Recap


Type

Description

Used for

Single-node

A non-redundant architecture consisting of an Unwired Server and


data tier installed on a single host. This strategy is typically used
by personal developers.

Personal development or trial


installations

2-node

A simple architecture without load balancing that may optionally


use a relay server. The data tier (which includes the CDB, the
messaging database, and the monitoring database) is on one
node and the application and server tier (which includes Unwired
Server, Sybase Control Center, and optionally Afaria) is on
another.

Enterprise development or test


environments

3-node cluster

A simple redundant architecture with two server tier nodes (which


includes Unwired Server, Sybase Control Center, and optionally
Afaria) and one data tier node. For an example of this cluster, see
Systems Design > Fault-Tolerant Production Environments >
Redundant Architecture Options.

Entry-level production
environments

N+2-node
cluster

An optimally redundant architecture with any number of server tier


nodes (which includes Unwired Server, Sybase Control Center,
and optionally Afaria) supported by a relay server and two data tier
nodes. For an example of this cluster, see Systems Design >
Fault-Tolerant Production Environments > Redundant Architecture

Multitenant Environments
Allows platform administrators to deploy a single production
environment to service multiple client organizations known as
tenants
Multitenancy uses domains, which allow a tenant's
administrators to manage Unwired Platform entities within the
cluster partition
As opposed to platform administrators, domain administrators
see only the domains to which they have been assigned

2 - 42

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

Do not confuse domains in Unwired Platform with the traditional concept of network
domains. In Unwired Platform, a domain is only a namespace used in production
environments.

Load Parameter Properties


Parameters must be given a value at runtime!
Load parameters are defined in the properties of an MBO
Load parameters values can come from either a
Personalization Key or a Synchronization Parameter

A default value will be sent to the server in absence of these


property values
state_code automatically
becomes a Load
Parameter

Associating Synch and Load Parameters

Load Parameters can get its value from:


z
z

Personalization Keys or default values


Synchronization Parameters

3 - 47

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

If not paired (or mapped) to a synchronization parameter, no such synchronization


filtering occurs for the device and the parameter is simply used to update the consolidated
database (CDB) by retrieving a subset of data from the enterprise information system
(EIS).

In some cases, a load parameter is desired to refine the data requested from the EIS.
Mapping the load parameter to a synchronization parameter partitions data in the CDB
according to values sent from each device client.

Synch and Load Parameters Scenario

Objective:
z

Show that the CDB can have one set of data that is not
identical to the local device database

Approach:
Create a Load Parameter that limits customers in the CDB to a
particular state i.e. customers from the state of MA
z Then create a Synchronization Parameter that further limits
the data in the local device database to a particular customer
or subset of customers in MA. For example:
z

A certain customer id
Customers in MA where number of orders in 2010 exceed 10

Q

Business processes, such as alerts, time recording, and travel requests require
immediate action, but today are generally only accessible via desktop or laptop
computers.

The Sybase Unwired Platform workflow capability removes the need to physically
interact with backend systems or use traditional client applications and allows for this
decision-making application to be hosted on multiple mobile devices.

While some business processes require a thick application with business logic and
access to reference data, some others do not. Sometimes a business process can be
made mobile simply by providing the ability to capture a single YES/NO from a user
or by providing the ability to send data in structured form into the existing backend
systems.

Q

Save: Closes the current screen, validates the current input and, if validation
succeeds, saves it.

Cancel: Discards any changes on the current screen and closes it. No validation
occurs.

Close: Discards any changes on any open screens and closes all open screens. No
validation occurs.

Open: Opens a different screen.

Add: Opens a different screen from where you can add a new row to a listview

Submit: Validates the entered data on open screens and sends it to the server.
There, the server invokes the specified MBO operation or object query. If the
Submit is asynchronous, the client application closes once the request is sent. If the
Submit is synchronous, the client application stays open.

Add/Update/Delete Listview Row: Specifies the MBO operation that is associated


with the appropriate action on the listview. Note that these operations will not be
invoked immediately, but will instead be invoked when a Submit is made on the
parent MBO that this MBO is related to. Can only be added to screens that are
navigated to as the result of a Listview Details navigation (i.e. clicking on a row in
a listview).

being that end users will modify the code in the top-level partial class,

new work items to Mobile Workflow users

The message push is performed through the WF-DCN channel in the


Unwired Platform server

2. When the Unwired Platform server receives the new work item ID, it
triggers the Unwired Platform Workflow package and uses the
ZSUP_MWF_WI_GETDETAIL function module to retrieve work item
details
3. The Unwired Platform server converts the work item to a Mobile
Workflow message, based on the Unwired Platform definition
4. The workflow message is pushed out by Unwired Server to the device,
which appears in the Mobile Inbox

executed and the ZSUP_MWF_WI_COMPLETE function module is called
at the backend
4. Work item is completed and removed from the SAP Inbox

The decision triggers an asynchronous request to the Unwired Platform


server

A delete message for the work item is pushed from the back end to Unwired
Platform via the WF-DCN channel

5. When the delete message is received by the device, the message in

sup.mwf.destination: The name of the destination to the Unwired Platform server (see SAP Mobile
Destination Setting)

sup.mwf.qname: A name that is unique to the particular workflow. If the property is not declared,
outgoing requests do not go through a queue, and the notification might be lost if Unwired
Platform is unavailable.

sup.mwf.qcount: The number of queues to which to distribute outgoing notifications. If the


property is not declared, a single queue is used to push notifications to Unwired Platform.

sup.mwf.match: Allows a specific Unwired Platform workflow package to be associated with a


specific decision task by using the workflow package matching rules in the Unwired Platform
design or runtime configuration.

sup.mwf.security: The name of the security configuration in Unwired Platform that is used to
authenticate incoming device users against Unwired Platform (for example, admin).

sup.mwf.sender: Contains the default sender address that appears in the Mobile Inbox for
notifications originating from this decision task.

sup.mwf.sender.l10n: Allows you to specify alternative localized versions of the sender text as a
comma-separated list (for example, en,es,fr). Based on the agents default system language, a
localized sender text is chosen during runtime.

sup.mwf.sender.en: The sender text for users with a default language set to English (EN). If more
than one alternative is configured, you can add more properties (for example, sup.mwf.sender.es
and sup.mwf.sender.fr).

sup.mwf.priority: Specifies whether the notification on the mobile device is marked as high
priority (a red exclamation mark) or with default priority.

sup.mwf.markread: Specifies whether the notification is created on the mobile device as a read or
unread notification.

Runtime Databases to Consider

As an administrator, you need to be aware of the following


databases:
z

Consolidated Database
Acts as the synchronization cache for mobile business object
(MBO) data
Contains Unwired Server properties
Tracks Push subscriptions and status
Contains synchronization timestamps for each device client
Contains user data, such as personalization keys and device
tracking information

Continued

7 - 11

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

If you install multiple Unwired Servers in a load-balancing cluster, all Unwired Servers in
the same cluster must share a CDB; however, in this scenario, a CDB failure can introduce
a single point of failure for Unwired Platform. To mitigate this risk, you can run the CDB
in failover mode using a shared-disk cluster.

7 - 11
2011 Sybase, Inc.

Sybase Unwired Platform Architectures and Technical Overview


Module 7: Administering Sybase Unwired Platform Environments
Version 1.0

Runtime Databases to Consider

Messaging Database
z

Stores in-flight messages in a messaging cache as part of a queue so


they can be delivered
By default, an embedded Advantage Database Server is used as the
messaging database
Permanent store of device connection information:

During the first device connection, a physical device identifier is obtained by


the messaging runtime client and is stored together with the connection
information - Subsequently, the physical device identifier validates the
device on every connection

Transient store for messages:

Holds business data only for a short amount of time. Once the data is
delivered to the device, Unwired Server deletes the data from this database.

Continued

7 - 12

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

Depending on your network or system topology, install the messaging database either with
the Unwired Server, or separately, on its own physical hardware. If you install multiple
Unwired Servers in a load-balancing cluster, all Unwired Servers in the same cluster must
share the messaging database. Sybase recommends that you install the messaging database
separately on a failover cluster that uses a shared-disk array. You can install the messaging
database and consolidated database together on the same physical hardware.

Depending on you environment, the location of the messaging database file varies:

In cluster environment, the default file location is


<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Data\Messaging\.

For all other environments, the default file location is


<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\MessagingServer\Data.

Unwired Server accept messages from the device, but only when the identity is valid. This
validation occurs even before the actual mobile application is authenticated by an Unwired
Server security provider.

Sybase Unwired Platform Architectures and Technical Overview


Module 7: Administering Sybase Unwired Platform Environments
Version 1.0

Runtime Databases to Consider

Cluster Database
z

By default, a SQL Anywhere database used by the Unwired Server and


associated command line utilities
Contains configuration information about the cluster for which the
database is installed, as well as data used to coordinate cluster
components
Records configuration properties that are set for each component

Populated during installation and then maintained over time as


administrators use Sybase Control Center to change the production
environment

Includes configuration information for components in a cluster and


installation details for components and the corresponding operational
state of each

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

Depending on you environment, the location of the cluster database file varies:
z

In cluster environment, the default file location is


<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Data\CDB\clusterdb.db.

For all other environments, the default file location is


<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\data\clusterdb.db.

The sup.properties file is a copy of information from the cluster database that facilitates
scripting. This file is located in
<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository\Instance\com\sybase\
sup\server\SUPServer.If you are troubleshooting the cluster, always check the cluster
values in this database first.

Runtime Databases to Consider

Monitoring Database
z

Stores data related to replication and messaging synchronization, queues


status, users, data change notifications, and device notifications
By default, uses the same database server instance as the consolidated
database and cluster database
Can install a monitoring database on host that is different from the
consolidated or cluster database host
Can be one of:

New SQL Anywhere database used only by Unwired Platform monitoring


(default installation for Unwired Platform)
Existing SQL Anywhere database already used in your environment
Must set up Unwired Platform to use this database by configuring the
database location

7 - 14

Strictly internal - for the use of SAP employees only

A monitoring database is shared by all server instances in a cluster. Consequently,


administrators must allocate and manage the database depending on the monitoring
configuration and system load.

If necessary, you can manually delete data, or you can use Sybase Control Center to allow
Unwired Server to automatically purge the data. You can schedule a periodic and
automatic flush of monitoring data that is captured in memory and move the data to the
underlying monitoring database. This allows for capturing monitoring data without
performance degradation of the client applications. If there are high levels of activity,
Sybase recommends that you install the monitoring database on high performance
hardware, and that you configure optimal flush settings for this environment.
