Mobile Support
Mobile Support is a set of tools that enable mobile app developers and business integration developers to create mobile data synchronization solutions. Such solutions transfer data between mobile devices and backend enterprise applications and resolve conflicts that occur when backend data is updated by multiple sources at the same time.
Mobile Support includes two components:
Mobile Support Client provides a Java client library of classes composed of methods that initiate requests to synchronize data. Mobile app developers incorporate the synchronization methods in their apps.
Mobile Support package runs on
Integration Server and provides a service that synchronizes data sent by mobile devices. Business integration developers incorporate the synchronization service in their integration services.
Mobile apps submit synchronization requests to Mobile Support Client, which asks Integration Server to execute the services that process the requests. Mobile apps can submit either of the following synchronization requests:
Download changed data from the backend application to the mobile device.
Upload changed data from the mobile device to the backend application, synchronize that data with the backend data, and download changed data from the backend application to the mobile device.
