Maintaining Properties of a Mobile Component for Device Setup 

Use

A setup or software package contains mobile components that you want to install on the client device. These include:

·        Database

·        JRE

·        Framework

·        Mobile applications

·        Drivers

·        ADDONs

You must maintain device setup properties for a mobile component if:

·        For a particular mobile component, you want to assign a pre or post installation mobile component

·        You want to specify details about the un-installation of a mobile component

Procedure

...

       1.      Choose Administration.

       2.      Under Software Package Management, choose Mobile Component Administration.

       3.      Under Search Mobile Components, enter the required search criteria and choose Go.

       4.      In the Search Results screen area, choose the required mobile component.

       5.      In the Operations screen area, choose Manage Setup Device Properties.

       6.      Under Assign Pre/Post mobile components, enter data as required.

       7.      In the Maintain Uninstallation Property screen area, enter the following details:

       8.      In the Product Uninstallation Key field, enter the product key or ID of the mobile component.

This information is available in the uninstallation properties.txt file. If the product ID or key is not maintained for a mobile component that is part of the setup package, then during the uninstallation of the setup package that mobile component is not uninstalled. Therefore, if customers develop their own mobile components and install them on client devices as part of the setup package, then they must maintain product keys or IDs for such components.

You must not maintain the product ID or key for a mobile component that is relevant for a handheld only.

       9.      In the Silent Command Line Parameter field, enter the command to install the component from the command prompt in silent mode. For example, to install JRE in silent mode, you can enter the following command:

/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=<Drive:>\java\jre

   10.      In the Not_Installable field, enter X to indicate that the mobile component cannot be installed.

If you enter X, then you must specify the copy location for the mobile component in step 9. For example, C:\mds.

For mobile components relevant for handhelds, you may choose to extract an SDA or copy it to a location. If you want to copy the SDA, then you must enter X in the Not_Installable field and provide a copy location in the Silent Command Line Parameter field. However, if you want to extract the SDA, then you must leave both the fields blank.

   11.      Choose Save.
