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

To set up synchronization
- 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..
- Create groups according to your plan from
Step 1.
- Create and assign users to each group in one of two ways:
- Create new users in the Mobile Devices
Administration Center and assign these users to groups.
- Import existing user definitions. If
you already have multiple groups set up within your organization, you might be
able to import the users assigned to these groups into the Mobile Devices
Administration Center and automatically assign them to groups.
- Define subscriptions that the members of the group need to
access. The type of subscription depends on the needs of your
organization.
- 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.
