    Pre configuring server URL for MSCA application

    Hi   We are trying to use SOTI to push the Oracle "Mobile Supply Chain for EBS" application to Zebra MC3300 devices. The APK gets loaded okay, however we then need to manually go and set the server address on each device for the application. Given we have a couple of hundred guns this is not very optimum. We have looked at the options in SOTI but it doesnt seem to expose the server URL so that we can configure it before we push down the application.   Oracle help file suggests the follwoing:   "To preconfigure the server URL, administrators need to configure the following String type properties in an EMM console to simplify the app deployment for users:Note: This feature has been tested and certified only on iOS devices. To leverage this feature on Android devices, it is required to register your EMM provider with Google Play.   Server_URL: This is the Oracle E-Business Suite server URL that an app should connect to by default. If a valid Oracle E-Business Suite server URL is entered in this property, the app users will not be prompted to enter the server URL when the app is launched for the first time.   Ensure that the mobile app is already "Enabled" in the Mobile Applications Manager UI pages. For information on enabling an app, see Enabling a Mobile App Individually and Specifying the Configuration Through the UI Pages."   anyone have any pointers on what to do here ?

    Calling legacy script command from javascript

    Hello, I'm looking for a way to call a legacy script command from within a post-sync script using javascript. Currently testing the with this sample code and based on selection, would like to trigger the mxconfig command, which is part of the legacy scripting.  #!/usr/bin/env js var buttonLabels = ['Red', 'Green', 'Blue']; mobicontrol.message.createInfoDialog('Choose the colour').withButtons(buttonLabels[0], buttonLabels[1], buttonLabels[2]).withCallback(onConfirm).show(); function onConfirm(result) { if (result.buttonIndex != null) { mobicontrol.log.info('The ' + buttonLabels[result.buttonIndex] + ' button was clicked.'); } }Finding a way to combine the functionality of both scripting languages would be very helpful. - Shawn

    Apple devices not asking for PIN Solved Locked

    Hello, When adding Ipad devices to our soti environment we make sure we select the passcode option in the Apple Device enrollment Program options, present in the device enrollment rule.  When we start up the device for the first time, it asks to set up a pin code.  After a reboot, certain devices still ask for the PIN, some other devices no longer require the PIN to start and only a swipe unlocks the iPad. Any config we missed? Thanks
