Creating Synchronization Groups

A synchronization group includes a policy that defines the synchronization schedule for the mobile business objects (MBOs) within it. Create as many synchronization groups as required to meet the varying synchronization schedules of the MBOs for a given mobile application project.

  1. To launch the New Synchronization Group wizard, either:
    • Switch to the Advanced developer profile, then right-click the Synchronization Groups folder under a mobile application project from the WorkSpace Navigator, and select New > Synchronization group, or
    • From Unwired WorkSpace, select File > New > Synchronization group.
  2. Specify properties for the synchronization group and click Finish.
    • Name – name of the synchronization group.
    • Change detection interval – the frequency, in hours, minutes, and seconds, with which Unwired Server is notified of data changes within the synchronization group.
    • Description – an optional description.
    • Use as default synchronization group – identifies the synchronization group as the project's default. All MBOs automatically belong to the default synchronization group when created, except MBOs that are not bound to any data source, and cannot be synchronized.

      Unwired WorkSpace includes a read-only "Default" synchronization groups folder (that uses a change detection level of 10 minutes), which ensures there is always at least one folder available.

The synchronization group folder you just added appears under the Synchronization groups parent folder in the mobile application project for which it was created. You can drag-and-drop MBOs between synchronization group folders.
