In an occasionally disconnected environment, mobile application clients, usually have an available wireless connection to Unwired Server.
Connected device application users can do most of their work online, synchronizing data at will. These users usually require locally stored business data.
Create mobile applications that work in either synchronous or asynchronous mode. From the device perspective:
- Asynchronous – the application does not wait for Unwired Server to report on the success or failure of an operation. Asynchronous is useful when the application is in a disconnected state.
- Synchronous – the application waits until Unwired Server performs the action, at which point a new screen can optionally open, depending on the results.
