Oracle Database Mobile ServerIn a glance


“Oracle DMS has made it possible to move one of our internal applications into the mobile arena. We were able to integrate online with offline activity in a user friendly manner. Our target is to service over 10,000 internal customers with this application”

Brian T. Schultz, VP HR Information Technology

Honeywell International

“We are deeply invested in Oracle technology for all our database needs and Web applications. Oracle Database Mobile Server helped us extend our apps to our volunteers without having to worry about transaction management, security or other data-related issues in quick time.”

Anand Adkoli, Architect

"Oracle Database Mobile Server gives mFinity EMMP a distinctive advantage and strength over any other enterprise mobility management solutions in the mobile industry by providing the highest level of data integrity for enterprise mobile data. With Oracle DMS, we can now offer the complete end-to-end enterprise mobility solution to our customers.“

Daniel Pahng, President

"OpenPharma is used every day by almost 1000 people across 30 networks, both in the field and at head offices. Oracle's Mobile Server engine allows OpenPharma to integrate management of all data streams between users and centralized bases. The new Mobile Server version will make it possible to extend the solution for all Nomadvantage clients equipped with the OpenPharma mobile CRM.“

• DMS Purpose– Scalable data

synchronization between local client data store (BDB/JavaDB/SQLite) and Oracle RDBMs, Oracle NoSQL

– Mobile client device management

– Mobile client application management

• Main Categories of Mobile Environments– Mostly Connected– Occasionally Connected– Mostly Disconnected

• Typical Use Cases– Mobile Sales Force– Mobile Field Service– Police/Ambulance units– Distributed mobile retail

stations– Remote embedded

diagnostic units– Polling data collection

The HW Architecture


Oracle Database Mobile Server is:

– Scalability• Additional Mobile Servers can be deployed in a server farm to handle increased client

synchronization load.

– Security• On-the-wire data and application network communication can be encrypted.

– Reliability• Interrupted synchronization sessions resume where they left off.

– Customizability• Tailor to your unique environment


– Scalable Asynchronous Architecture• Clients upload to server and download from the

server using In and Out Queues• Avoid locking the base tables• CPU intensive operations can be queued and

executed when the system is available

– Transport Independence• Any TCP/IP enabled carrier network can be used

for synchronization.

– Bi and Uni-directional Synchronization• Upload and download of data during

Synchronization.• Synchronization can be customized to allow only

upload.

– Data Sub-setting• DMS supports highly granular (column-level and

row-level) selection of base table data.• Dynamic data range based on logical record set

qualification

– Conflict/Error Detection and Resolution• DMS provides built-in conflict resolution

capabilities via the Server Wins/Client Wins rules.• Conflict resolution can be customized by

developer.• Mobile Server administrator can further manage

conflicts.

– Multi-Language/Multi-Platform Support

Key Features


The Sync Architecture

• Publish and Subscribe Model– Users are assigned to group(s)– Groups/Users are subscribed to publications– Subscriptions are parameterized

Sync Features

– Synchronization Styles• Automatic Synchronization allows DMS to invoke synchronization in the background.• Manual Synchronization allows user or application to control synchronization timing.

– Schema Evolution• Application schema evolution can be supported by publishing new versions of client-side database

and matching application binaries. A large European customer, using DMS for several years, frequently updates their schema without disruption of service.

– Synchronize data from a 4000 person sales team and process daily work orders on a mobile phone in minutes with a 4-core middle tier and database server.


Device Management

– Device Management Client is automatically installed with Mobile Client.– Administrator can perform device management through Mobile Manager

• Retrieve and view individual device properties• Set device properties• Send device commands (e.g. retrieve log, install application, etc)• Creating new device commands (using OTL scripting language)

– In a major city, manage/deploy 1000 devices used in administering parking tickets on a standard 4 core system


Oracle Java DBHighlights


Why a Java Database

• Compile once, deploy everywhere• Single process (app + database)• Client app and server app use the same Java code in functions, procedures,

aggregates, and types.


Java DB Highlights

• Full-featured RDBMS

memory

• Replication

• Scalability on multi-core machines

• Crash-recoverability

• Row-level locking

• Read/write optimizations

• Bulk operations


Pluggable Features

• Functions/procedures

• Table functions

• User-defined types

• User-defined aggregates

• Character sort order

• Authentication

• Encryption provider


Security Features

• Database encryption

• Users/roles

• Built-in and pluggable authentication

• Fine-grained data access controls

• Runs under a Java Security Manager

• SSL/TLS protected client/server traffic

Optimized Approach – Technical Challenges

• To support this approach we need a lightweight & small foot print database

• Database should be bundled along with the embedded device

• Multiple nodes will be writing data hence we need transaction control

• Database should be portable across gateway modules with different operating systems

• Nodes should be able to connect to the Database over the network

Java DB can support the above requirements if deployed in Derby Network Server mode

Java DB in the Device - Benefits

• Securely stores data from all the node devices

• Provides full featured database with standard ANSI/ISO SQL

• Significantly reduces network traffic between the devices and the cloud

• Automatically and securely syncs data between the gateway device and the cloud database

• Compact (2.6 MB footprint)
