Which devices? Is there connectivity available? What application/information is needed on-site? How do I manage these devices? What level of security is required? How do I connect across different network protocols? © 2006 IBM Corporation 6 DB2 Everyplace Mobilizes Your IDS Applications IDS + DB2 Everyplace Sales Force Productivity Healthcare Retail Inventory Management © 2006 IBM Corporation 7 IDS Mobility Solution © 2006 IBM Corporation 8 DB2 Everyplace V8.2 Lay the foundation for enterprise mobility on demand Complete mobile relational database and synchronization solution Best of breed mobile platform support Reliable and secure enterprise data access right from your palm Complements a wide range of IBM wireless and information management software Offer rapid return of investment Integrated, open and scalable mobile application development made easy Zero administration, ultra small footprint mobile data base Ship in three editions to meet the needs of enterprises of all sizes and ISV/OEM—Database Edition, Express Edition, Enterprise Edition Free trial download available at: http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/product.jsp?s=p&id=JPEN4HNW2H http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/everyplace/index.html © 2006 IBM Corporation 9 Application Development Freedom C/C++ JDBC .net languages Web Services AppForge Metrowerks Eclipse WSAD WSDD Platform Flexibility © 2006 IBM Corporation 10 Scalable On Demand As business grows, so can the underlying mobile database and synchronization infrastructure… Start with DB2 Everyplace Express Upgrade transparently to DB2 Everyplace Enterprise Edition With a Simple license key change © 2006 IBM Corporation 11 Key Autonomics Features Addressing Customer Pain Points Self Configuring Zero admin database with selfreclaiming unused space Guarantee data delivery to the source database Automated management of DB2 functions on sync Intelligent defaults (out of the box) Self Optimizing Auto-increment in “Identity Column” for table creation Configuration Advisor Wizard Automatic database REORG after synchronization Automatic removal of server traces, logs and outdated data © 2006 IBM Corporation Self Healing Automatic "resume" if canceled/failed optimized recovery of messages Automatic retry upon network errors during sync Self Protecting Table level encryption fordata on device End-to-end encryption Password protection with encryption Removable memory card support 12 Reference: CEMIG Where they started: Legacy driven processes Expensive dedicated satellite link Technicians returning to operational bases for new orders How they changed: Implemented DB2 Everyplace to connect field technicians to IDS database with service request data Dispatch service orders to 500 mobile users who are with equipped with handheld devices What they are achieving: Improve responsiveness to service outages Improve customer satisfaction Achieve measurable ROI of US$600,000 per year © 2006 IBM Corporation 13 IDS Mobility Components Component Description Database Engine High performance data store for managing and using data on mobile and embedded devices Sync Client Sync client to communicate with the server using an httpbased synchronization protocol.

Deltas between the mirror and source are only transferred after replication. © 2006 IBM Corporation 21 DB2 Everyplace Subscriptions for IDS A replication subscription provides specifications for how the information in a source system (an enterprise server) is to be synchronized with a target system (the mobile device). JDBC subscriptions provide users with access to data in source tables on a data source with a JDBC interface, including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, Sybase, and Lotus Domino. Upload subscriptions only allows the user to directly insert rows into a table on a source database. Related tables on the mobile devices are not refreshed during synchronization. File subscriptions allow replication of any type of file stored at the source server and are not bi-directional. . © 2006 IBM Corporation 22 Sync Server DB2 Everyplace uses several metadata tables to maintain information about its internal structure. The performance of relational databases will typically decline as tables grow unless they are periodically reorganized. Customer data should reside in backend servers on separate systems from the DB2 Everyplace system for maximum performance. © 2006 IBM Corporation 23 Sync Server and Client Overview Centralized administration Mobile Devices Administration Center GUI (MDAC) Zero administration on devices Manage table definitions, constraints, and indexes Vertical and horizontal partitioning of data Control distribution of data, files, and applications Grouping of subscriptions Access control for device users based on privileges © 2006 IBM Corporation 24 Sync Server and Client Overview Message protocol utilizes WAP binary XML for compression Automatic upgrade distribution of database and sync client engine software without user intervention Security Authentication MD5 authentication for standalone LDAP authentication with WEA Communication data encryption 56-bit and 128-bit DES for standalone SSL with WEA Local data encryption on devices setup through central administration © 2006 IBM Corporation 25 Custom Logic Allows application to customize behavior of synchronization and replication.
