Unable to load application using AppLoader

Hi Friends,

My blackberry application has multiple COD files, I've zipped them in a single file and created a .alx file with required parameters. When I use loader.exe /index it do not generate PkgDBCache.xml with expected content.

Generated PkgDBCache.xml has following content:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<PackageDBCache version="1.0"><packagedb hwid="0x00000000" size="0"/></PackageDBCache>

I dont know whats happening, because of this problem application is not visible in Device Software Configuration window as a shared application (in BES).

Please let me know if i'm missing something...

thnx...
Pulkit

... and you're using what version and platform of BES?

i'm using BES for MDS Applications Version: 4.1.3.16
and i've application cod corresponding to 4.x OS versions...

Ok ... I don't know BES for MDS at all ... however what do you mean you zipped them into a single file? Are they a single .cod or .zip file?

There are 5 .cod files and I zipped them into a single file and changed its extension to .cod file. Then I've created a .alx file as it was not generated in my build process...
my alx file looks has following content

<loader version="1.0">
<application id="myApp">
<description>
Application Store (dc=enterprise)
</description>
<name> myApp </name>
<version> 1.0.0 </version>
<vendor> xyz </vendor>
<copyright> Copyright (c) 2009 xyz </copyright>
<directory _blackberryVersion="[4.0.0,4.7.0)">8100</directory>
<fileset series="8100" Java="1.5">
<files>
mitr.cod
</files>
</fileset>
</application>
</loader>

is it the correct format???

Correct the right-paren here:

[4.0.0,4.7.0)

should be:

[4.0.0,4.7.0]

no?

i think it doesn't matter as long as i'm not trying to install the app in a device with OS version 4.7.0

As in my case I want to install it on my 8100 device, so there should not be a problem...

I was simply indicating the typo

Actually i've copied the alx file format from the GoogleMaps application...

Code:

<loader version="1.0">

 <application id="Google Maps">

  <description>

    Google Maps (dc=enterprise)

  </description>

  <name> Google Maps </name>

  <version> 3.0.2 </version>

  <vendor> Google </vendor>

  <copyright> Copyright (c) 2008 Google, Inc </copyright>

  <directory _blackberryVersion="[4.3.0,4.6.0)">BlackBerry-43</directory>

  <directory _blackberryVersion="[4.2.0,4.3.0)">BlackBerry-42</directory>

  <directory _blackberryVersion="[4.0.0,4.1.0)">BlackBerry-40</directory>

  <directory _blackberryVersion="[4.6.0,4.7.0)">BlackBerry-46</directory>

  <directory _blackberryVersion="[4.1.0,4.2.0)">BlackBerry-41</directory>

  <directory _blackberryVersion="[4.7.0,5.0.0)">BlackBerry-47</directory>

  <fileset Java="1.5">

    <files>

      GoogleMaps.cod

    </files>

  </fileset>

 </application>

</loader>

Why would you zip all the COD files into a zip file and the rename it to COD?

I'd rather leave all the COD files as they are and list them in your ALX file. And I would correct the typo with the bracket as the indexer scans your whole file and not only the parts you might be using.

Also I would not use a subfolder.

Find below an example that works:

Code:

<loader version="1.0">

  <!-- Bloomberg for BlackBerry -->

  <application id="com.bloomberg.ax.mobile">

    <name>Bloomberg</name>

    <description>Bloomberg Apps for BlackBerry</description>

    <version>1.8.10.9</version>

    <vendor>BloombergLP</vendor>
