Migrating Messaging Channel OData Applications to REST SDK Applications

Migrate OData applications (iOS/Android) that use messaging channel (sometimes called iMO-based) in 2.3 SP03 and earlier versions to OData applications that use REST SDK, to take advantage of REST services capabilities.

Prerequisites

Import the new REST client libraries from the OData SDK into your Android or iOS development environment.
Arrange access to a test environment for on-premise testing.

Procedure

In your development environment, modify the messaging channel application logic to use REST SDK services.
Some areas you may need to address:
- Registration
- Settings exchange
- Request response
- End-to-end tracing
- Native push notifications
Recompile the application.
Test the application in a device simulator or emulator, and in the test environment. Make modifications as needed.
Deploy the application to the production environment.
