Setting up synchronization

The Mobile Devices Administration Center allows you to create objects in almost any order. The recommended order is shown here.

To set up synchronization

  1. Consider the synchronization needs of the mobile users in your organization. What data do the mobile users need to access? What applications do they use? The answers to questions like these help you determine how many synchronization groups you will need and which users will be associated with each group. This step is explained in Evaluating the characteristics of your mobile users

    Optional: Create custom adapters to accomodate the unique needs of your organization..

  2. Create groups according to your plan from Step 1.

  3. Create and assign users to each group in one of two ways:
  4. Define subscriptions that the members of the group need to access. The type of subscription depends on the needs of your organization.

  5. To allow a group to access the tables and files that they need, create subscription sets.

After you provide administration information, if each user is assigned to an enabled group, the user devices will be automatically enabled during the initial synchronization (see Enabling and disabling synchronization). The initial synchronization replicates the configuration information that you defined in the Mobile Devices Administration Center to the device. This information includes what subscription sets the user can synchronize and what data and files are associated with those subscription sets.
