Documentation

Definition

Defines if a new instance of the corresponding SyncBO should only be downloaded to the client as a result of downloading the referencing SyncBO instance. Setting this flag only makes sense if the SyncBO is referenced by another SyncBO with a foreign key relationship and the cascade flag is set to true for this SyncBO.

Procedure

You must define this flag in conjunction with the cascade flag for each mobile application.

Examples

An example scenario that uses this flag is given below:

  • You have SyncBO A, which represents a customer master object
  • You have SyncBO B, which represents a sales order object
    • The data part of SyncBO B has a reference relationship mapped to SyncBO A
  • In the download data definition, you define which sales order should be downloaded to a particular client. Based on the resulting set of sales orders to be downloaded, you define the customer master records that need to be downloaded to the client.
    • A customer master record only needs to be downloaded to the client if the downloaded sales orders refer to it.

The following configuration is suitable for the scenario described above.

  1. Set the cascade flag in the synchronizer control record of the SyncBO A so that the SyncBO B drives the download of new SyncBO A records
  2. Set the Ref.Filter flag in the synchronizer control record of SyncBO A so that only those records that are referenced from the downloaded SyncBO B instances are selected for download (of SyncBO A).

Dependencies

Setting the Ref.Filter flag to true for a SyncBO only makes sense if the cascade flag is set to cascade downloaded records from other SyncBOs.
