Creating Subscription Templates

Create a subscription template to specify synchronization targets and behavior for subscribed users. A template is useful to create a set of predefined values that are used frequently. Otherwise, a subscription is still automatically created for each client upon explicit indication of interest for a device notification.

1. In the left navigation pane, expand the Packages folder and select the replication based sync package you want to configure.
2. In the right administration pane, click the Subscriptions tab.
3. From the menu bar, select Templates.
4. Click New.
5. In the New Template dialog, select settings for these options:
   • Synchronization Group – the group of MBOs that a client receives data change notifications for when data changes occur.
   • Notification Threshold – the length of time that must pass since a client's last synchronization before another notification is sent.
   • Admin Lock – (enable or disable) prevents device users from modifying the push synchronization state or sync interval value configured in the subscription. If the admin lock is disabled, the device client user can change these properties, and these changes take effect the next time the client user synchronizes the package to which the subscription applies.
   • Push – (enable or disable) if enabled, automatic server-initiated notifications are pushed to users when changes occur in the cache. If disabled, device users perform client-initiated synchronizations when they receive an outbound notification.

   Note: If you intend to use push synchronization with BlackBerry devices, enable push synchronization in the BlackBerry server. See the BlackBerry server documentation for details.
6. Click OK.
   The new subscription template appears in the list of templates.
