MobiLink Synchronization User's Guide
  File-Based Downloads

Introduction


With file-based downloads, you can put download synchronization changes in a file and transfer it to Adaptive Server Anywhere remote databases in any way a file can be transferred. For example,

You choose the users you want to receive the file. Full synchronization integrity is preserved in file-based downloads, including conflict detection and resolution. You can ensure that the file is secure by applying third-party encryption on the file.

When to use 

File-based downloads are useful when a large amount of data changes on the consolidated database, but the remote database does not update the data frequently or does not do any updates at all. For example, price lists, product lists, and code tables.

File-based downloads are not useful when the downloaded data is updated frequently on the remote database or when you are running frequent upload-only synchronizations. In these situations, the remote sites may be unable to apply download files because of integrity checks that are performed when download files are applied.
