Mobile Data Object - Data Staging

If an application processes a large amount of objects, data staging of the objects can assist with processing times. If an object is configured for data staging, the data within the object is stored as a package and is split into packets. The data can contain metadata and tagging for easy lifecycle management and data lookup. Standard APIs are provided for package management.

The following figure illustrates a general-purpose data staging model.
