Appdome Mobility Suite Features
The Appdome Mobility Suite organizes the options to customize and extend EMM and MAM SDK implementations into easy to find sections. These capabilities would ordinarily need to be developed and coded into an app. With Appdome, adding these capabilities to mobile apps is completed in seconds.
- Dynamic Container Management™ – This is an EMM or MAM container optimization feature that ensures mobile app performance is not impacted by EMM and MAM SDKs. This feature leverages Appdome’s proprietary Dynamic Container Management methods and provides users with an easy way to configure TOTALDataTM Encryption, Folder Management, and Nested Filesystems.
- EMM Tunneling – Appdome Mobility Suite allows organizations to control and customize the EMM VPN or Tunnel used inside the mobile apps by telling Appdome how to implement the EMM or MAM SDK.
- Adaptive App Routing – Select the Routing Schemes to use with your app, including support for VoIP, exclusions, whitelist URLs and other settings.
- Appdome PreAuth and EMM Authenticated Tunnel – Apply EMM authentication (via EMM supported methods such as Kerberos, KCD and Certificates) to mobile apps and use EMM authentication schemes for tunneled traffic. e.
- Custom EMM Policies and Populate Settings in AppConfig– With these options enabled you can populate your Fused app’s preferences using an EMM configuration payload. Custom EMM Policies allow you to apply AppConfig settings to an app on managed or BYOD devices. It will convert the settings from an EMM for the configuration settings to AppConfig format that the app can read.For iOS application – The JSON file defined in BlackBerry Server configuration payload will be populated directly into the app Standard User Defaults (NSUserDefaults).
For Android application – The JSON file defined in BlackBerry Server configuration payload will be populated directly into the app DeafultSharedPrefernces using PreferenceManager.
- BoostEMMTM – Once you select the BlackBerry EMM SDK, open BoostEMM™ to ensure additional features are added to your app including:
- Connect Secure Browser – When enabled, this feature ensures web links opened in the app, will be opened using the EMMs secure web browser app.
- Connect Secure Email – When enabled, this feature ensures email links opened in the app, will be opened using the EMMs secure email client app.
- Secure Document Sharing – When enabled, this feature blocks opening files in third-party apps. This will also disable all other document sharing.
- In-App BlackBerry Analytics – This allows the app you are building to use BlackBerry Analytics events in the app.
- Report BlackBerry Events – Automatically report BlackBerry Dynamics events such as activation, authentication and policy updates to BB Analytics.
Click “Build My App”
Congratulations! When your implementation is complete, you’ll receive the notice below. You now have a mobile app fully integrated with the BlackBerry SDK plus the Appdome Mobility Suite features.
What to do After I Build My App?
After you’ve successfully Fused an app, you need to sign the app in order to deploy it. You can also brand or customize a Fused app on Appdome.
Here is a link to an article with more information on completing mobile integration on Fused apps.
Adding Integrated SAP Jam app to BlackBerry for Deployment to Mobile Devices

c. Click the + to add a different Token to a new users group/user
d. Edit the default Name to the second users’ group/users and enter the value matches the SAPJam key and click Save (contact your SAP admin manager to receive the activation token) - Select the Override BlackBerry Dynamics profile and Override compliance profile for the Built app (optional, otherwise the app will inherit the assigned user policy)
