How a database synchronization works

While the M-Business XML conduit moves data from the back-end database to the mobile device, it does not move data in the opposite direction. To report changes in on-device databases, use the M-Business Server standard form submission mechanism. For information on form submissions, see PODS Submission-related Objects.

M-Business Server will explicitly undo changes made to an on-device database at every synchronization; thus, you may freely modify the on-device data, report the changes in one or more form submissions, and then rely on the server conduit to conform the device's data with the server's data at the next synchronization.
