The values of APPDIR, BEARER and START are used internally and must be lower case.
The password (PWD) is case sensitive. The case sensitivity of the other parameter values
depends on the server application or the network. It

is

likely

that

not

all

parameters

can

be

sent

in

one

SM.

They

can

be

distributed

over

several

SMs.

E

very

SM

needs

to

contain

the

identifying

first

line (OTAP_IMPNG)

and

the

PWD

parameter

if a mandatory password has

been enabled.

OTAP

is

started

when

the

keyword

START,

possibly

with

a

parameter,

is

contained

in

the

SM

and

the

parameter

set

is

valid

for

the

requested

operation.

It

always

ends

with

a

reboot,

either

when

the

operation

is

completed,

an

error

occurred,

or

the

safety

timer

expired.

This

also

means

that

all

parameters previously set by SM are

gone.


Apart from the first and the last line in this example, these are the parameters described in
the previous section. Possible parameters for the START keyword are: “install”, “delete” or
nothing. In the last case, an install operation is done by default.

The network does not guarantee the order of SMs. So when using multiple SMs to start an
OTAP operation their order on the receiving side might be different from the order in which
they were sent. This could lead to trouble because the OTAP operation might start before all
parameters are received. If you discover such problems, try waiting a few seconds between
each SM.

Java File Format

In general, all Java files have to comply with the IMP-NG and TC65 specifications. There are
certain components of the JAD file that the developer must pay attention to when using
OTAP:

• MIDlet-Jar-URL:

make

sure

that

this

parameter

points

to

a

location

on

the

network

where

your

latest

JAR

files

will

be

located,

e.g.

http://192.168.1.3/datafiles/mytest.jar

,

not

in

the

filesystem

like

file://a:/java/mytest/mytest.jar

.

Otherwise

this

JAD

file

is

useless

for

OTAP.

• MIDlet-Install-Notify: this is an optional entry specifying a URL to which the result of an

update/install operation is posted. That is the only way to get any feedback about the
outcome of an install/update operation. The format of the posted URL complies with the
IMP-NG OTA Provisioning specification. In contrast to the jar and jad file this URL must
not be protected by basic authentication.

• MIDlet-Delete-Notify: this is an optional entry specifying a URL to which the result of a

delete operation is posted. That is the only way to get any feedback about the outcome of
a delete operation. The format of the posted URL complies with the IMP-NG OTA
Provisioning specification. In contrast to the jar and jad file this URL must not be protected
by basic authentication.

• MIDlet-Name, MIDlet-Version, MIDlet-Vendor: are mandatory entries in the JAD and

Manifest file. Both files must contain equal values, otherwise result 905 (see 8.7) is
returned.

• MIDlet-Jar-Size must contain the correct size of the jar file, otherwise result 904 (see 8.7)

is returned.
