Deploment slots for mobile service (old vs. preview portal)

Hello,
How can I add deployment slots to a mobile service? I know the article from documentation (look for web-sites-staged-publishing, cannot post links yet). But this one explains only how to add slots to azure websites (from the preview Portal, what about
the old one?). I cant find any option to add slots to mobile service in the old portal.
In addition, when I add a mobile service from the new preview portal, it results in an azure website code base, but no mobile service can be found (in the old portal)? Otherwise, no mobile service, created by the old portal, can be seen in the new portal...uh?
I'm feeling lost....What am I doing wrong?

There is a distinction to be made between Mobile Apps (Preview), which is available only in the preview portal, and Mobile Services, which is available only in the existing portal.
Creating a Mobile App will not create a Mobile Service, and the reverse is also true. There is a migration story for customers wishing to move to Mobile Apps, and this will be further developed as the preview continues.
Mobile Apps uses Web Apps (formerly Web Sites) as the compute container, meaning customers can get all of the benefits of a Web App, including Deployment Slots and many other features
Mobile Services, however, does not have the Deployment Slots feature at this time.

Benchmark Figures for Mobile Service Database

Dear SDN Community
We want to implement CRM Mobile Service and are looking for benchmark figures for the database size to support the database vendor decision.
We intend to replicate business partners and contacts by postal code, all products, service orders, price conditions, service confirmations, and enable van stock mgmt.
I know this is only high level - but we are looking for benchmark figures how to calculate the to be expected database size on the Client.
Every rough estimate is highly appreciated! Benchmark figures would be perfect!
Thanks very much
Christian

Hi,
we had the same request in an earlier MSV project but we couldn't get any (official) estimation tool from SAP product development which allows us to decide whether MSDB (resp. MSSQL Express Edition) is sufficient or not.
Anyway such a statement would be very risky because there are hundreds of parameters which could have an impact on the DB size. E.g. a single 5 MB attachment of a service order equates to thousands of BP or products (including conditions).
I would suggest to use the MSSQL 2005 Standard Edition in the Dev and QA environment and simulate the effective data volume with reasonable test data there.
Also you should try to minimize the data volume (and transfer) by using suitable filter criteria (especially for the product master incl. conditions). Service orders and confirmations can be revoked from the Mobile clients after they are closed by using according status filters. BP can be replicated by using an interlinkage order -> BP in order to optimize the BP amount on the laptops. The attachment maximum size can be defined in customizing.
Also note that running the Mobile sites in unicode mode could cost you up to 100 % more DB space.
Finally there are some important notes which refer to tools for DB administration (defragmentation, reorganization).
I suppose you will have a proper result concerning the needed DB size on the laptops after you have done these configuration steps and observations in the QA enviroment.

Usage Overview for Mobile Services not populating

I've tried multiple times in the past few weeks as well as on different computers, connections, and browsers. Every time the dashboard of my Mobile Service shows only "loading..." for all metrics in the Usage Overview area.
Is this being investigated/triaged?

Price of scheduled job for mobile services

For a mobile service, if I run a scheduled job to get some data from an http source, which is (85 kB) 85,000 bytes in size, every 15 minutes.
Is there any cost to me for the data for the month?
Is there any cost to me for the scheduled job for the month?
If so how much?

Hi,
Base on my experience, only Basic and Standard
mode could use more than one scheduled jobs. But its costs may be included into unit costs. Please see this price page (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/details/mobile-services/
) . For your data, I am not sure you how to save and handle it. If you use sql azure to store, you may pay the sql azure cost by using space. For this billing issue, I suggest you could contact support team by creating a support ticket at
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/ .
please try it.

Planning for Mobile Service Pack Upgrade from 2007 SP2 to SP6

Hello Mobile Gurus,
We are planning for upgrading mobile from 2007 SP2 to SP6. Can anyone of you guess a time line for achieving this?
I mean, how long will it take in dev env to upgrade commstation, mrs, mdw etc. apart from upgrading the field laptops?
thanks

Hello Mahesh
had missed 5th point. ie Rollout to the client laptops . the amount of time it takes will be based on the kind of customization and kind of issues that you face in your application . etc.
Repostiroy upgrade from n to n+1 release will take approx 1-2 hours (with out additinal language) and it is correct.
I have given you the rough estimates so that you will get a fair idea how much time it is going to take.

Is multi-factor auth required for self-service password reset and portal registration?

Hi, hoping someone can give some clarity on this. I'm dealing with strictly online accounts, no AD sync to local servers. I have enabled and configured self-service password reset in AzureAD. In that config I have required users to register
their alt contact info when logging into the portal. While testing this, I don't get prompted to register unless I've enabled multi-factor auth for the test user account. I need users to register in case they need to use SSPR, but I don't want
to force them into MFA. I've gone over the following article and it says nothing about requiring MFA for SSPR or forced portal registration to work.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn683881.aspx
I know there is a separate link for the registration portal that will guide users through the process, but that's a separate link. Maybe they'll set it up, maybe they won't. I'd like for the first sign-on to be a smooth process that gets them
set up for SSPR if needed. Can someone clarify and point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hey acook15,
I work on the password reset engineering team. Right now, you are correct, you cannot enforce registration for password reset during first sign in. This is a feature that we are working on right now, which will be available very soon for sign
ins to Azure, your connected apps, and the access panel, and will come a bit later for Office 365 sign ins, as well.
In the interim, you can configure SSPR to require users to register when they access the access panel at myapps.microsoft.com by following the instructions here: http://aka.ms/customizesspr (search for "Require users to register when signing in to the
access panel?").
You can also read more about other ways to get SSPR data in the system for your users here: http://aka.ms/ssprbestpractices. Let me know if this helps, and if you need to get in contact with me, feel free to email me at [email protected]

Adam.

Porting JS (mobile services) for Flash (Action Script)

Hi!
There is JS-class for mobile services
ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/mobileservices/MobileServices.Web-1.2.5.min.js
May be anybody know is there port of this for Flash-projects (for example, for AIR)
Thanx!

Ensure your event listener (or as u call it, key catcher) is referencing the instance of the button....so for example, if the original button is called "button" and the one you have on the stage is an instance of "button" with the instance name "buttonInstance", ensure the event handler is attached to the instance on stage...
It sounds like the event is not even being triggered as the trace is not being executed...this tells me that the event is not being "heard" by the listener.
Why not email your lecturer with your code and ask them for some direction? The worst thing that will happen is that they won't reply to your email. If that fails, go and see them in person. Persistence is a valuable attribute.

Integrating a PHP Web App with an Existing Azure Mobile Services and Mobile App

I've got an existing mobile app that is integrated with Azure's mobile services. The mobile services are currently connected to Azure Active Directory with MFA enabled. I'd like to build a separate PHP-based web application (Azure VM) that uses this existing
mobile service and authentication.
I reviewed the Azure PHP SDK, but didn't see any tie-ins to the Mobile Service. Additionally, Azure has some great tutorials, but for mobile services they all seem to focus on iOS, Android, and Windows phone. Any insight into how to tie a PHP-app into this
backend would be much appreciated!

Although there isn't any client library for PHP, you can still access Mobile Service using the
Azure Mobile Service REST API.

Difference between Mobile sales and Mobile Service

Hi All
Can anybody help and explain me what are the major defferences between Mobile Sales and Mobile Service,What are the configuration settings required in Mobile Service,Because we have to start support project for Mobile Service.
Regards
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
The difference is Mobile Service is used by field technicians who provide a service to customers. Eg: an engineer who goes out to customer site to fix machinery. They can fill out the deatils on the Mobile Service application. Time spent, parts used etc..
Sales is used by sales reps, who are selling a product.
The configuration is the same for both. In fact its possible to have bothe sales and service installed on the same machine.

Setting up Azure SQL DB - Auditing w/ Mobile Services

I'm trying to set up Azure SQL DB - Auditing which requires a secure connection string to used by the client to actually do the logging. In my case that client is mobile services. I can see the current connection string that is used but I cannot modify it when
trying to configure mobile services in the azure portal. I'm using a nodejs back end.
I'm trying to follow the instructions here: azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-auditing-get-started/
Is there some other way you change the connection string?
Thanks!

Hi,
As far as I am aware, when you set the webapp/cloudapp to connect to a database you will have to specify the connection string in the app. The app will hit the database which is mentioned in the connection string you have specified. So it is not automatic
or Traffic manager. You have full control over it as you can tell your app to connect whichever database you want.The database could be located in any region, however the you have to keep latency in mind as the app in US Datacenter could be calling the Database
in EU, if that is they way it is setup.
You can have separate databases in each region and use Azure Data Sync
to have the database synchronized, however please keep in mind that Azure Data Sync is in Preview.

Complex Data in Mobile Services?

I'm trying to learn Azure Mobile Services, and feel like I must be missing something. I've gone through the tutorials, and they all seem a little too trivial to be helpful.
I have a data model that, by traditional standards, isn't all that complicated, but seems to be for Mobile Services. It's a reasonably straight-forward relational data model. Whereas this is something that I would normally have designed in Entity
Framework, I'm trying to follow the "Mobile Services methodology". I was able to create the data model in code reasonably easily, with all the classes inheriting from Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Service.EntityData. It seems a bit
of a step backward not to have something like the Entity Framework data model designer, but I got through it. The database appears to get created correctly in Azure. So far so good.
Now I want to consume the mobile service in a client. This is where my frustration starts. Whereas in the past there were RIA Services or a WSDL to provide the data model of the service (i.e. essentially code-gen the proxy), it appears that I
have to code everything on the client by hand again! Is that true?! From what I can tell, I can't even share the code between the server and the client. Am I missing something?
Then, after I write a LOT of essentially duplicate code, I give it a try and find out that there is simply no support for navigation properties (i.e. foreign keys, etc.). I have to code all of that myself, likely using an automapper. Once again
I say: am I missing something?
Please tell me there's a better way, because right now this all feels like numerous steps backward!
Thanks!
Brad.

You are right that there is less functionality as compared to RIA Services: this is by design. The Mobile Services tables endpoint and the client SDK are designed to be as simple as possible. This keeps your mobile client logic simple, and makes it easier
to build a cross-platform app. For instance, if you were building a native iOS and Android client, there's no way to get around the code duplication.
However, connecting to the tables endpoint is very easy using the SDK, and then you just use LINQ to run queries on your service. You can also use offline data sync to cache the data locally, and even update it while you are offline and sync changes later.
(This is another case where the simple data model is a big advantage.) Plus, there's no codegen to bloat your client app. The only thing you need to manage is the table name, but this is an API that doesn't tend to change often (usually only additions).
For a more complex example of Mobile Services, see our Field Engineer solution accelerator, which is a full-fledged app:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Field-Engineer-501df99d
You're right that you can't share code for your model classes between client and server, other than copy and paste. :) There's another good reason for this: the backend adds several system columns that are needed for things such as offline sync
and conflict handling. So, you have to inherit from EntityData (or IEntityData), whereas the client has no such requirement. This can actually give you a lot of flexibility. however. For instance, maybe you only want 5 database columns, and there are 20 in
your model. You can create different models on the client and backend to handle this.
We don't support foreign keys, which definitely makes things harder. Unfortunately, supporting relationships would mean the full complexity of RIA Services on all 5 of our client platforms, which just wasn't feasible.
As you noted, you can use Automapper, or, if your relationships are mostly 1-to-many, you can use database views and modify those directly. They can also be synced. If this works for your data model, it can also really simplify your client code, since you
only need very simple queries on the client. For an example of this, please see my posts in this forum thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/4c056373-d5cf-4ca6-9f00-f152d2b01372/best-practice-for-syncing-related-tables-in-offline-mode?forum=azuremobile
I totally agree with you that not having support for relationships makes the developer's life much harder, particularly if the model is not a good fit with automapper. But on the other hand, you get offline data sync for free, which would otherwise be a
lot of work to implement.
In order to determine if Mobile Services is the right fit for your project, you should look at all the features in the client SDK and estimate how much work it would be to do it all yourself. If you don't need most of the features, it's possible that you
can just use Web API and all the features of Entity Framework. However, if you need things like offline data sync, login, or push notifications, the SDK can be a time saver.
