Parameters

Description

MobileEngine.Datacompression.Gzip

Activate or deactivate data compression in the client.

Possible values: false and true

Default value: true

(Data compression is active, even when you do not mention this parameter in the MobileEngine.config file explicitly.)

You can check if your settings are correct by switching on a trace prior to synchronization. After synchronization, the trace file contains a message text that tells you if data compression is switched on or off.
