Introduction to direct row handling tutorial

This tutorial shows you how to implement MobiLink direct row handling so that you can use a data source other than a supported consolidated database.

You can use direct row handling to communicate remote data to any central data source, application, or web service.

This tutorial shows you how to use the MobiLink server APIs for Java and .NET for simple direct row handling. You synchronize the client RemoteOrders table with the consolidated database and add special direct row handling processing for the OrderComments table.

You set up a simple synchronization for the RemoteOrders table.
