Performing incremental synchronizations

To reduce the time required to synchronize your database channel, you can specify that only incremental changes in the data be downloaded in a synchronization.

Caution

When on-device data is being updated incrementally, if you change that database schema you will need to ensure that all users perform a Refresh All synchronization to ensure that they get the correct dataset.

When you (or an M-Business Server system administrator) are creating the database channel, select the checkbox for Fetch Only Modifications - Incremental Sync.

Note

When the checkbox for Fetch Only Modifications—Incremental Sync is selected, the Delete Type and Delete URL fields are available. You use these fields to specify how the incremental synchronization is to work.

Note

URLs entered in any M-Business Anywhere component must contain only forward slashes (/). The backslash character (\) in place of a forward slash will cause an error.
