When an application is in the foreground (active user session), the usage library automatically uploads records to the SAP HCP, mobile service for development and operations server. To minimize the impact of usage data collection on an end user's cellular data plan, the usage library tests the device's network connection type before uploading records to the server. The connection type determines how records are uploaded to the server:

• Wi-Fi – the usage library uses its HttpConversationManager session to POST records to the server.
• Cellular data – the usage library does not POST records to the server. Instead, the records are retained in the client database until the next time the app has a Wi-fi connection.
