Answer 1

Hi ,
Oracle Lite -Branch Office not working as expected
Lite Version- 5.0.2
1.     The documentation says an odbc dsn should have been automatically created with a name of "USER_DBNAME” when sync with Mobile server
2.     A blank "files available for download" page is display with no buttons and no file from url ‘http://BR/public/download’
3.     Can’t see any application in the Branch office system
     Steps used to create/publish a branch office application
     We have three machines and their hostnames are
     M1 = Mobile Server + Mobile development kit Win2k
     M2 = Branch Office win2k
     M3 = Branch Office client win2k
1) Install Mobile Server and mobile developer kit 5.0.2 on machine M1 2) Launch "Mobile Server Control Center" to machine M1
3) Create user “Test”, Assign user "Test" System Privilege of
"Administrator"
4) Assign user "Test" to the "Branch Adminstrators" group
5) Create a dummy application (Sample. jar).
6) Launch packaging wizard on machine m1
7) Select "Win32 Native" as your target
8) created snapshots with scott.emp table
9) Enter "Sample" in the client side database name field.
10) Publish the application from machine M1
11) Launch "Mobile Server Control Center" to machine m1
12) from the applications tab of "Control Center" Select the
"Sample” application
13) Enter the database users password and save the change
14) Select the "Access" link from the left nav and grant user
"Test" access to the "Sample" application
15) Select the "Files" link from the left nav then select the win32
link.
Check the public file box for file "Sample.jar" and save changes
16) from machine M1 install branch office by downloading the software
from machine M1.
Download/install http://MO/webtogo/setup, select the "branch
office" download
17) From the M1 machine launch setup.exe
18) Sign on as user Test, Press "next" to sync
19) The documentation says an odbc dsn should have been automatically
created with a name of "Test_Sample".
Can see only DSN name “webtogo” which points to <<Dir>>\OLDB40 and file ‘Sample.odb’
20) From the M1 machine launch the control center @ http://localhost/ 21) Sign on as user shekar , Press sync tab
20) checked the M1 machine and it did not install my "Sample.jar" but can see ‘Sample.odb’
21) Now attempt to configure the branch office client machine m1
22) From machine M2 download the client software @ http://m1/public/download
23) A blank "files available for download" page is display with no buttons and no file.
