Basic setup for the DB2 Everyplace solution

Procedure

Setting up the DB2 Everyplace solution involves the following two tasks:

1. Develop DB2 Everyplace applications.

   These applications provide mobile users access to DB2 Everyplace database tables on their mobile devices. You can develop DB2 Everyplace applications using DB2 Everyplace Mobile Application Builder or another suite of application development tools for mobile devices. See the topics related to application development in the DB2 Everyplace Information Center or PDF version the DB2 Everyplace Application Development Guide.

2. Set up synchronization.

   You define data from the source server to be accessed by each group of users. Mobile workers use the DB2 Everyplace Sync Client's API icon to connect to the server and copy source data to their mobile devices. They modify this data using these applications and then synchronize their changes with the source database.
