After manufacture, you can physically deliver provisioning XML documents to Windows Mobile devices by sending the file over the air (OTA), placing the files in device ROM after deployment, or using delivery methods that require physical access to the device.
The following table shows how OTA delivery can be pushed to or pulled by the device.
| Delivery method | Comments |
|---|---|
|
Push the file using a one-way WAP push and the OMA Client Provisioning protocol. |
This type of push is recommended for bootstrapping a device. For more information, see Pushing XML OTA Using an OMA Client Provisioning Server. |
|
Push the file using an OMA DM server and the OMA DM protocol. |
This method provides a two-way communication for subsequent provisioning. For more information, see Pushing XML OTA by Using an OMA DM Server. |
|
Push the file using a Service Indication (SI) message, or automatically download the file using Service Location (SL). |
For more information, see Pushing XML OTA by Using Service Indication (SI)and Pushing XML OTA by Using Service Loading (SL). |
|
Pull the provisioning XML in a .cpf file in response to an e-mail message or a Short Message Service (SMS) message. |
For more information, see Pulling XML OTA by Using E-Mailand Pulling XML OTA in Response to an SMS Message. |
|
Pull the provisioning XML in a .cpf file by downloading it over HTTP or HTTPS (Internet Explorer Mobile). |
For more information, see Pulling XML OTA by Using Internet Explorer Mobile. |
Delivery methods requiring physical access to the device by the operator or user include:
- Downloading the provisioning XML file from the desktop, using
the Remote Application Programming Interface (RAPI) in ActiveSync.
This method is supported only when the provisioning file is
contained in a .cab file. For more information, see
Adding XML by
using ActiveSync.
- Downloading the provisioning file from the desktop computer by
using the Desktop Configuration Tool, RapiConfig.exe. For more
information, see
Adding XML by
using the Desktop Configuration Tool.
- Installing the provisioning XML from a memory card by using the
Autorun feature and a Secure Digital Multimedia Card (SD/MMC). For
more information, see
Adding XML by
Using a Secure Digital Multimedia Card (SD/MMC).
Application developers can use the DMProcessConfigXML function to apply XML changes. For more information, see Adding XML by Using DMProcessConfigXML.
