This section lists the OMA DM Command elements that are used to manage Windows Mobile-based devices. For each command element a short description and any information specific to its implementation for Windows Mobile Version 5.0 are included. For further information OMA DM Command Elements see "SyncML Representation Protocol Device Management Usage (OMA-SyncML-DMRepPro-V1_1_2-20030613-A)" it is available from this OMA website

Note   If an XML element is not a valid OMA DM command then the status code 400 is returned for that element.

The following table shows the OMA DM Command Elements that are used in Windows Mobile-based devices.

Command Element Description
Add OMA Command Element Creates a new node in the DM tree. Windows Mobile Version 5.0 supports Implicit Add which means that interior nodes specified in the Target LocURI will be added if they don't already exist.

The following example shows how to use the Add command. In this example b1 is to be added to be tree as a child node of interior node B. c1 is the data value of node b1. Because b1 is not currently in the device's DM tree, this node will be automatically created.

<Add> 
  <CmdID>...</CmdID> 
  <Item> 
    <Meta> 
     <Format xmlns='syncml:metinf'>...</Format> 
     <Type xmlns='syncml:metinf'>....</Type> 
    </Meta> 
    <Target> 
      <LocURI>Vendor/A/B/b1</LocURI>
