Abstract: In a method of customizing a software-implemented business process on a mobile computing device, subscriptions are defined to business solutions entities that are defined by metadata. Next, the entities identified by the subscriptions are uploaded to the mobile computing device.

Abstract: In a method of managing a synch operation during which business solutions entities are loaded into a mobile data store of a mobile computing device from a central data storage system, subscriptions are defined that identify entities to be loaded into the mobile data store during a synch operation. Next, a remaining data storage capacity of the mobile data store and a subscriptions data quantity corresponding to an amount of data space required to store the entities identified by the subscriptions are estimated. Finally, the subscriptions data quantity is compared to the remaining data storage capacity.

Abstract: In a method of customizing a software-implemented business process on a mobile computing device, customized metadata defining customizations of the business process are provided. Next, the metadata is deployed to the mobile computing device and stored in a data store of the mobile computing device. The customizations defined by the metadata are then applied to the software-implemented business process.

Abstract: A system and method for communications management and data exchange are provided. A mobile device includes one or more client applications that communicate with one or more server-based applications. The mobile device includes application bridge components for routing incoming and outgoing messages from the server-based application to one or more client applications. The server-based applications also communicate to each other and the client applications via a server-based application bridge. Both application bridges are operable to obtain transformation and routing information from the message and process the message accordingly. In the event communication becomes intermittent, the client-based application bridge and the server-based application bridge manage the messages and ensure message delivery.
