Can we implement Smart sync and Generic sync in an application?

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am a newbie to SAP NetWeaver. I have been focussing on MI since a month or so.

I have a doubt in this regard.

Can we implement both Generic sync and Smart sync in a single application?

If so, shall we have to implement these two different mechanisms on two different data or can we implement these two sync mechanisms on the same data?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hi Amar,

I am not sure how far it is possible to implement both in a single application.

But using smart sync application we can get generic sync (functionality wise) working.

As we know we have T01,T51,S01,U01 type of syncbos.

SO1 is some what similar to generic sync....because using S01 type of syncbo client will directly contact backend(but not middleware).

So you can implement S01 syncbo where ever it is needed, similar to generic sync.

Hope this is useful

hi amarendra,

you can use both generic sync and smart sync functionalities in a single

application. (basically, the smart sync itself is a generic sync application)

this depends on how you design your application. generally, you will have to leave

the data handling via smart sync and add more low features using generic sync.

in generic sync, you have to deal with your data directly and have to be responsible

for their persistence.

hope this help.
