Overview
Developing mobile data synchronization solutions using Mobile Support consists of the following high-level steps:
1. The business integration developer writes the business logic on the server side using Software AG Designer with the Service Development perspective. This business logic consists of an IS document type, as well as flow services and adapter services that send data received from a mobile device to the backend application, return changed data from the backend application to the mobile device, and notify Mobile Support when the backend data is updated directly by the backend application.
2. The business integration developer creates a mobile sync component, using Integration Server Administrator, to supply information that Mobile Support needs to process synchronization requests received from a mobile device.
3. The mobile application developer writes a mobile application, using webMethods Mobile Designer and the Mobile Support Client, to initiate requests to Mobile Support for synchronizing data between a mobile device and a backend application.
4. The business integration developer associates the mobile application with a mobile sync component using Integration Server Administrator.
