Illustrated Example - 6 Steps

I will share my experience of deploying a sample application. I will break the discussion into six separate blogs as follows:
  1. Create User on DMS 
  2. Install Mobile Sync application on client and complete first sync
  3. Publish a Test Application on DMS with Publication and Publication Items to user created in Step 1
  4. Download Application onto Client
  5. Install Demo Mobile Application on device
  6. Test synchronization and mobile application
Note: I have created a separate development environment for this discussion. What I describe here don't necessarily represent best practices or my advice for a production deployment!
Prerequisite: Oracle Database Mobile Server 11g is installed and running

  4. Q1: You need to use the credentials for the user you created in Step 1 in my example (Create User on DMS)
    Q2: It looks like you have not used Packaging Wizard to deploy the app. Please note Step 3: Publish Test Application (Use Packaging Wizard to package an application section)
    Q3: I am not sure about this. In my case I used a real device that I had and just copied the .APK over USB cable. I am not that clued in about the emulator and how you copy files into it
