Sybase Unwired Platform

SAP Mobile Platform (formerly Sybase Unwired Platform) is a mobile enterprise application platform designed to simplify the task of creating applications that connect business data to mobile devices for workflow management and back-office integration.[1] SAP Mobile Platform provides a layer of middleware between heterogeneous back-end data sources, such as relational databases, enterprise applications and files, and the mobile devices that need to read and write back-end data.[2]

Application developers write the business logic of a mobile application using the development tools in SAP Mobile Platform. The product automatically does the translation required to create customized versions of the new application for a wide variety of mobile devices and operating systems. The intent is to make it easier and faster to create complex applications that use multiple data sources and will work on many different mobile devices.[3]

History

Sybase first released Sybase Unwired Platform in 2008. Written in C and Java, the product is currently in its 2.2 release.

Features

Usage

To use Sybase Unwired Platform, a software developer drags and drops table names from a database list into a diagram, which creates what the product calls a “mobile business object.” The Sybase Unwired Platform server uses that object to determine how data will be shared between the server and mobile clients, and then performs “code generation” to create customized versions for individual mobile platforms.[4]
