Replication-Based Synchronization Packages

Replication-based synchronization (RBS) packages are packaged mobile business objects (MBOs) that use a replication paradigm to synchronize data and propagate transactions between a device and Unwired Server. RBS package data can be synchronized through a server-initiated push notification transmitted at defined intervals, or based upon the occurrence of a synchronization event.

Administration for RBS packages involves configuring role mapping, setting required properties for cache and synchronization groups, purging the cache, managing push subscription templates and properties, and reviewing client activities.

• Enabling and Disabling a Package
  Enable or disable a package to allow or prohibit device access to the package. Disabled packages are still available to Sybase Control Center for Unwired Server. By default, all packages are enabled.
• Selecting a Security Configuration for a Package
  Designate a security configuration for a package in Sybase Control Center. This is a required step during package deployment, but you can later change the security configuration.
• Configuring a Cache Group
  Select and configure a cache group. The cache is part of the Unwired Server cache database (CDB) that is used to store data that is uploaded and downloaded from EIS servers and mobile clients during synchronization.
• Mapping Roles
  Configure role mapping to authorize client requests to access MBOs and operations. For each security configuration, platform and domain administrators can manage logical role mappings at the package level or at a domain level. Use the corresponding domain or package node in the left navigation pane to configure role mappings accordingly.
• Configuring a Synchronization Group for RBS Packages
  Determine the frequency with which push notifications are generated by Unwired Server for synchronization of mobile business objects (MBOs). The delivery time is determined by this equation: delivery of push notification = schedule repeat value + synchronization group change detection interval value + notification threshold value. There may be an additional 10 second delay, because the internal thread for a cache refresh from DCN or cache group that performs the change detection runs every 10 seconds.
• Configuring Replication Package Subscriptions
  Configure subscriptions and subscription templates to allow the device user to be notified when information is available, depending on the subscription properties configured for a package. Subscription templates allow you to configure predefined properties for a synchronization group. A client's first synchronization for a specified synchronization group results in subscription creation using both the template and client-specified properties.
• Managing Deployed Package Subscriptions
  Manage replication, messaging, and SAP Data Orchestration Engine connector (DOE-C) package subscriptions that specify the synchronization messages mobile device users receive.
