Definition

Each SyncBO has a synchronization type that defines the runtime behavior during synchronization and replication.

Procedure

Before implementation, define how your data is to be transmitted between the clients and the server. Then choose the appropriate synchronization type for each business object to be included in your application. The interface requirements of the backend BAPI wrappers vary depending on the synchronization type.

The synchronizer is a set of generated function modules and is specific to the SyncBO. Each function module performs the following actions:

  • Data replication (replicator)
  • Search for delta data (downloader)
  • Data upload to a backend system (uploader)

The function modules generated for a SyncBO depend on the synchronization type.
