Manage Client App Assets

With Manage Client App Assets ( for example, Quantum Management as a Service) functionality in Quantum Fabric, Quantum Fabric Users can now manage their client binaries through Quantum Fabric Console such as creating mobile applications, publishing the apps to an EAS Environment or a Quantum Management (EMM) Environment and Server. After the native client binaries are published to Quantum Management environment, Quantum Management admin can make the applications available to the users of an Enterprise. Currently, Quantum Fabric supports more than one version of client binaries for different versions of platforms such as iOS Phone, for iOS Phone, iOS Tablet, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Windows Phone, and Web Client. The allowed version formats for binaries are <One Digit>.<Upto 2 Digits>.<Upto 3 Digits>. The dots and the digits after it in the version number are optional.
For example: The supported version formats for binaries are allowed for uploading such as 1, 1.0, 1.00.00, 1.0.00, and 1.23.456.

  • In Quantum Fabric Console, to publish native client binaries to a Quantum Management Environment, first upload the required native client binaries for platforms under the Manage Client App Assets tab and publish these binaries to Management environment through Publish > Native Client tab.
  • If you upload web client binaries (.war) for Web under the Manage Client App Assets tab, these web binaries will only be published to the server.

NOTE: The database global variable  MAX_ALLOWED_PACKETS size should be set to approximately twice the size of the binaries that you want to upload to Quantum Fabric Console.
Refer to FAQs > How I can increase the size limit of the Client binaries that I upload to MobileFaric Console.

NOTE: You can upload maximum up to 10 Web Client binaries for an app.
