Parameters for Data Compression 

Prior to synchronization, the data transferred from the mobile device to the serverand vice versa is automatically compressed. The compression uses the ZIP standard algorithm. The following parameters are available for configuration of data compression:

Parameters in Default.properties and Configuration.properties

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.

If you are using a mobile device with a Linux operating system, you can find more information in SAP Note 754221.
