HotSyncing the program and WebSphere MQ Everyplace files onto the Palm OS device

This section describes the objects that need on the Palm OS device and the process for downloading them.

WebSphere MQ Everyplace system components for the Palm device

WebSphere MQ Everyplace for the Palm device consists of the following components:

  1. shared libraries hmqLib.prc and hmqFields.prc

    These libraries support WebSphere MQ Everyplace applications on the Palm.

    You must install both of these files on the device.

  2. GUI program hmqIni.prc

    This GUI program hooks into the Palm preference panel. It enables you to manually configure the system parameters needed to run the WebSphere MQ Everyplace system. You must install this program on the device.

  3. Stub library hmq.lib

    You must link the small stub library, hmq.lib with an application program to use the WebSphere MQ Everyplace system. The stub library consists of two object files, a stub for the shared libraries and object code for the helper functions. The helper functions are provided for programmers who want to use an object-oriented style. However, using any of these helper functions increases the application code size by approximately 6KB.

  4. Include files hmq.h and hmqHelper.h

    You must include the hmq.hinclude file in all applications. You only needhmqHelper.h if you use the helper functions.

HotSync Setup for Palm OS 3.5 and Windows 2000

You need to change the HotSync setup to use HotSync and WebSphere MQ Everyplace simultaneously. To set up a local HotSync on Palm OS 3.5:

  1. From the applications menu, tap the HotSync icon.
  2. From the HotSync menu, select the following:

To install the library files, see Installing the files on Palm OS

Installing the files on Palm OS

  1. Start the Palm HotSync manager and the Palm Install Tool.
  2. Click Add and navigate to the project folder.
  3. Select the Starter.prc file and click Open. This adds the file to the list of files to install.

    If you want to use the example application (palmos-example), add the MQeExample.prc file from the palmos-example folder instead of Starter.prc.

  4. Repeat steps 2-3 to add the hmqLib.prc, hmqFields.prc, and hmqIni.prc files (found within the WebSphere MQ Everyplace folder) to the list of files to install.
  5. Ensure that the serial cradle for the Palm device is plugged into the correct serial port on the PC.
  6. Place the device in the cradle.
  7. Click the HotSync icon on the PC.

    This installs the files on the PalmOS device.
