Creating the Business Document Type
Before you start writing the adapter services and the upload and download flow services, create the business document type that represents the structure of the data being synchronized. When creating the business document type, keep the following points in mind:
Supported data types for the business document type are as follows:
String
Document
Document Reference
Object, declared as one of the following basic Java classes that
Integration Server and
Mobile Support support natively: boolean, byte, character, date, double, float, integer, long, or short
Include one or more fields that can uniquely identify each record being synchronized. The value of these fields should not change. Examples include a sequence number in a primary key or a user ID.
You will supply the business document type and the unique identifier fields when you create a mobile sync component. For more information, see
Step 2: Create a Mobile Sync
Component.
