Jobs are submitted to DMS and the associated information is stored in the DMS database. Active jobs show up in "DMS" database in the "ACTIVE_JOB" table. After an install there should be 3 records in this table. One for Inventory for "WinCE", "Palm", and "SYNCML". As more jobs are submitted, this will of course change.

Download The Client To The Device (PPC)

(Do a "hard reset" on the PPC, go through the normal startup and bluetooth/network, see Pocket PC Operation)

1) From the PPC, tap the "Start", and in the selection, tap "Internet Explorer".

2) In the Internet Explorer GUI, in the lower left, tap "View", and select "Address Bar", then connect to your portal (i.e. "wea2aix1.raleigh.ibm.com/wps/portal").

3) Logon to the WEA Home page by tapping the key icon in the upper right corner of the portal page, and when prompted enter your ID and password (i.e. "dmsabuser" and "dmsabuser").

4) Under the portlet group selection "WEA Home" in the "Welcome" pull down selection, select "Configure"

5) In the "Configure" portlet, tap the "Everyplace Client Installer" icon.

6) In the "Everyplace Client Installer" portlet, tap "Download Installer".

7) In the "Download" popup requesting "Download the 316 KB file 'ceagent.arm.cab' to the "My Documents' folder in Main Memory?" tap "Yes".

At this point the download to the PPC occurs. It installs, connects to server, and all the cab files will be downloaded. Once they are there, the panel clears and are presented with Everyplace Client Installer which initializes. Dependant upon how many CAB files you selected, the download operation may take several minutes. When it is done, you will be presented with a Welcome page (see next step).

8) For the "User ID" and "Password" fields, enter "dmsabuser" (value from previous step)
