Synchronization and Data Refresh Data Flow

The way in which data flows through Unwired Server, the enterprise information system (EIS), and device applications depends on the choices you make during design and development.

Sybase Unwired Platform supports both replicated and nonreplicated data within device applications. Except as noted, all references in the synchronization and data refresh overview refer to replicated data flow.

• Synchronization Data Flow
  Synchronization is when a device application's data is updated with the contents of the Unwired Server cache (which is also called the consolidated database, or CDB).
• Data Refresh Data Flow
  Data refresh occurs when enterprise information system (EIS) data updates are propagated to the Unwired Server cache (also called the consolidated database, or CDB).
