MobiLink Synchronization User's Guide

Server-Initiated Synchronization


About this chapter 

Server-initiated synchronization allows you to initiate MobiLink synchronization from the consolidated database. This means you can push data updates to remote databases, as well as cause remote databases to upload data to the consolidated database. This MobiLink component provides programmable options for determining what changes in the consolidated database will initiate synchronization, how remotes are chosen to receive push messages, and how the remotes respond.

This chapter describes how to develop a server-initiated synchronization application, documents a Software Development Kit that you can use to add support for new devices, and provides information about several sample applications.
