Mobile sync - push data

Hi @drooij,

The definition of the sync method is to define the triggering method.

Real-time is used to sync data when inserting/ updating them.

Batch type is used to sync data on a defined duration.

In this case, if you need to sync data without any updates then you can use batch-all type instead of batch-delta. However, if you use batch-delta, then only the updated data will be synced in the defined duration.

Hi @Anjula Priyanath ,

Thanks, so if I set the sync rule to Batch-All with a frequancy of 1. Will it then sync the complete table every hour?

Yes @drooij. Based on the initial query, the data will be synced in every 1 hour.

But, please ensure to use proper constraints to avoid any performance impact. You can follow the baseline sync rules(address, place, etc.) to get an idea.

Thank @Anjula Priyanath,

But unfortunately the data isn’t pushed, Set the sync on batch-all with frequency on 1. Only after an manual initialization (not the sync) or via the sync now button it will update the mobile. 

Hi @brian.gummin,

Thanks! The scheduled process was inactive, I activated it again and now I’m revieving data.

Btw, is an Extract rule now still necessary?

Hi @drooij , glad you found it! 

If you mean an Extract that sends the <perform_process_message_to_mobile> MPM, that depends on each Sync Rule’s Delivery Method.  You normally do not have to worry about editing any Extracts for Mobile because when you save a sync rule, the business policy automatically creates or edits the appropriate Extract.  Extracts are only used for Real Time and Batch - Delta sync rules.

Hi @brian.gummin, thank you. Sadly I’m now running into a different issue. When the table is empty, there is off course no update. But it won’t remove the old lines, only if there is a new line. 

Is there a way to also send a NULL update (or something like that) to mobile? To say, this table is now empty. 

Seems when no records are found, there is no push.
