Abstract
Staying competitive in today's application economy is all
about speed. But speed without quality is a losing battle.
Developer solutions must simplify the complexity of
creating a great UX by providing mobile security,
interactivity and backend integration with developer-
friendly interfaces and APIs. During this session, Scott
Morrison, Distinguished Engineer, CA Technologies, and
Leif Bildoy, Sr. Product Manager, CA Technologies, will
walk through a common set of mobile app services,
exposed as SDKs and open APIs, to make it simpler to
create mobile apps that keep people coming back.

THE MOBILE CHALLENGE1

We love our apps

But how many are enterprise apps?

Why is mobile app
development so
productive?

While
enterprise
development
is so slow?

In 2016,
nothing will be more
important than accelerating
app development

Mobile SDKs and open APIs…

App Development Challenges
Getting more complex…
Traditional app
 Target audience
(B2E vs B2B vs B2C)
 Platform fragmentation
 Externalizing enterprise data
Modern app
 Multi-device universe extended
into IoT
 Collaboration
 Reactiveness
 UX spans every touch point

Introducing: CA Mobile App Services
High-value services for apps..
Storage
Users &
Groups
Transport
Pub/Sub Transport
• MQTT messaging framework with subscription
management
• User-2-User messaging
• Integration with OIDC, OAuth client framework
User & Group Management
• User & Group management through SCIM 2.0 connector
• Ad-hoc groups
• Virtual groups
Data storage
• Cloud storage APIs
• On-device encryptionSmartSDKs

Use Cases
- Applications that handle confidential
data
- Analytics to drive smarter apps
- Applications that share data and
sessions across devices
- Personalization of app for accessible
from any device
SDKs APIs
- Address Book
- Collaborative Applications
- Onboarding Application
- Ad-Hoc groups for social
apps
- Messaging to users (chat application)
- Messaging to groups
- Messaging based on conditions
- Collaborative applications
Consumption of IoT data with notifications,
observing, getting notified and reacting:
- Smart homes
- Healthcare application
- Travel & Hospitality
- Retail
- Automotive

Data APIs and Reactive Programming

1990s: Client/Server Computing
2 Tier App. VB Thick clients + SQL direct to database
Executable Client
(eg: VB .exe)
LAN
Database
(eg: SQLserver)
SQL
(JDBC/ODBC)
Common Query Protocol

2000s: Browser-based Apps
Multi-tiered Architectures, HTML + PHP + SQL
Web Browser
(eg: Firefox)
Internet
Web/App Server
(Apache/
Tomcat/PHP))
Firewall
Database
(eg: MySQL)
HTTP/HTML
SQL
(JDBC/ODBC)
Common Execution
Environment

2010s: Multi Channel Apps – New Challenges
Mobile Apps,
Rich Browser Apps
Internet App ServersFirewall Data Source
Clients are:
• Diverse (multiple devices)
• View and Controller
• Native, HTML 5

2010s: Multi Channel Apps – New Challenges
Mobile Apps,
Rich Browser Apps
Data Sources are:
• Diverse (SQL, NoSQL)
• Multiple query languages
• Different persistence
models

Should You Do This?
Mobile Apps,
Rich Browser Apps
SQL or NoSQL Query Language
Absolutely not! This is too unconstrained

2010s: API-based Apps
Multiple Channels, API+Java Servers
Internet
Web/App Server
(eg: IIS, Tomcat)
Firewall
API
(HTTP/JSON)
SQL
(JDBC/ODBC)
Common Communication Protocol
Mobile Apps,
Rich Browser Apps
Data
(eg: MySQL, Mongo)

But Now We’ve Got A Bottleneck
Building APIs To Open Up Data Is Very Time Consuming

Business Logic

Enforce
Business policies using
reactive rule sets
As simple as writing a
spreadsheet.
Up to 40x less code
Create
Instant generation of
RESTful APIs from a broad
range of data sources
10x faster than writing
code
Integrate
Data from both SQL and
NoSQL data sources
Use JavaScript to
simplify integration and
add business logic
Introducing: CA Live API Creator
Rapid creation of Enterprise-class, Data APIs

Benefits of Automated API Creation Compared to Manual
 Accelerate application development with 10X quicker time-to-market
through point-and-click API creation
 Represent application logic using 40X more concise rule definition
 Increase quality and reduce fragility of hand-coded logic
 Weave security into the application with fine-grained access control over
databases, tables, rows, columns, fields and operations
 Prepare for big data exposure, API monetization or microservices
architecture scenarios

Reactive Logic: Business Policies using Rules
This == 500 lines of code
● Highly Agile
● Business User Readable
○ Like Cocktail Napkin Spec
● JavaScript
○ Extend rules
○ Invoke existing logic

Reactive Logic: Forms or JavaScript
Declarative RulesLogic as a Service…
● No Code
● No Compile
● No Deploy

Reactive Logic: Security using Rules
Usually in the app… at
considerable effort

Data Explorer
Instant Interface
● Master/Detail Navigation
● Updatable Grids
● Query
● Logic and Security
● Customizable
