Data Backup and Recovery
The different synchronization and recovery processes are performed using three systems: the client, the MI server, and the back-end system. Under certain circumstances, it is not possible to execute some of the processes. This is the case, for example, during system downtime. In this case, a backup is essential. For more information on backups, see the documentation for the back-up system.
When all the systems are working again, it may be necessary to perform additional steps to recover the data and ensure its consistency. The following system error scenarios describe the steps to be performed depending on the situation at hand:
●
Temporary
Unavailability of Back End
●
Temporary
Unavailability of MI Server
●
Incomplete Recovery of
Back End
●
Incomplete Recovery of
MI Server
The above
applies to Smart Synchronization applications based on Mobile Infrastructure
as of Release 2.5. For generic synchronization applications running on Mobile
Infrastructure as of Release 2.5, the scenarios described do not apply as no
business data is stored on the MI server.
However, if you assign applications during an incomplete MI server recovery,
you must reassign these applications.
