Sync method on Agentry-Based Apps..

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to know if I can configure on Agentry platform,  the transmit method to be online. I mean when an user save the data on the App, inmediately the App transmit the changes (Save + Transmit) and update the backend. Is this can be done/configure??

Another question that I have is: Can I separate the sync method within the users? I mean, one set of users have the oportunity of work offline: save locally and then transmit when the network is available and, other set of users only work online (save, transmit and update data in backend in real-time)

I'll wait for your kind answers

BR,

Mariana

Hi,

     In order to configure agentry applications to work online we have two options,first is the push mechanism where if any changes are done to the back end objects of concern to the mobile application, those changes will be pushed automatically to the mobile device without performing synchronization.(Pushing back end objects to front end automatically).

Second  in order to update the data from mobile device to back end we can make use of background sending functionality,this feature combines both transmit and save.Once you enable background sending,immediately after saving the transaction it will be updated to back end automatically.

Hope your first question is clarified

May be we can modify transmit configurations to work online and offline for users

Thanks & Regards,

Question 1) Look into Agentry Background Sending.
Question 2) If a user leaves a covered area the client will auto go into an offline mode, and they will need to transmit to connect when they back in a covered area.

Hi. I think the sync method is configured per application, so if different behavior is needed, I guess that 2 separate apps will be needed for the different groups of users.

Hi Denis,

What happens if the two different behaviour is for the same App? Can this be configured? One set of users perform a background sending and  the others perform a off-line sync?? As I read the post Mike suggested (background sending), I have understood the user select a transmit configuration at the beginning of the transmit

You can have 2 different transmit configurations.  One set to online and one for off-line users.  Then transmit window the users can select which one they want to use.    If the users need to change later on, they can click "Stop" in the transmit window and select the other option in the transmit selection.

Steve,

Can I restrict the transmit config selection? I mean an user can only select a specific transmit config and no other. This is for ensure the online user only works with background sending. Is this can be done/configured within agentry platform???

Mariana,

Specific users cannot be configured to a certain transmit configuration.  Like Steve mentioned, the user would have the ability to choose any of the available configurations.

Hi Mariana,

This is a kind of older discussion as it was migrated from SRC last year and was originally posted in 2011 there.  But it is a pretty good discussion of Background Sending which I think is the subject of your first discussion. 

I would recommend taking the second question and making it a separate discussion.

Thanks, Mike
