Send Feedback

This element allows you to group settings. The first entry under the top-level OMA Client Provisioning document element is the characteristic element, which refers to a specific Configuration Service Provider.

To further group settings, characteristic elements may used within a Configuration Service Provider characteristic element.

Attributes

  • type
    Indicates the Configuration Service Provider to which the settings belong.

  • mwid
    This attribute is used in the Microsoft–specific section of a continuous provisioning Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) connectivity document. It indicates that the associated characteristic is a Network Access Point (NAP) or proxy ID.

    This attribute is required when updating or deleting existing NAPs or Proxies and must be set to "1".

    If the mwid attribute is "1", then the type's value in this characteristic is an identifier (ID). If the mwid attribute does not exist, then the characteristic element does not represent a WAP connectivity NAP or a proxy ID.

  • translation
    Indicates whether certain strings provided in the type attribute must be translated to other formats or strings.

    By default, the translation attribute does not exist and no translation is required.

    The value "install" is used by application installation management to translate Microsoft Windows CE strings and the %InstallDir% variable.

Remarks

This element may also be nested to indicate the path for the setting.
