Background documentation Data Carrier Synchronization  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

A mobile client connects to the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE) periodically to synchronize data. However, if a mobile client cannot connect to the DOE, it can use the data carrier synchronization mechanism to synchronize data with the DOE. This type of synchronization allows a client to synchronize data by using storage mediums, such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. In the storage medium, the data is stored as files.

The synchronization process is as follows:

       1.      The messages in the outbound queue of the mobile client are saved as files on the required storage medium and sent to the administrator.

       2.      The administrator uploads the data (files) from the storage medium to the DOE and starts synchronization.

       3.      The messages in the files are read and transferred to the device inbound queue for processing by the DOE.

       4.      The messages in the device outbound queue are read and stored as files. The administrator can then download these files to the required storage medium and send this storage medium to the required device.
