DataSplice Releases Mobile Integration Suite 3.0
Completing a Session
Completing an Online Session
To complete a session when you are working online, the process is very simple. This is due to the fact that the record modifications you have made have been synchronized with the DataSplice Server in real-time, since you are working online. To complete an online session, simply tap File > Disconnect. When you return to the login screen, your session and license have successfully been released.
Completing an Offline Session
The process of completing an offline session is slightly more involved. It is important to remember that, during an offline session, all of the modifications you have made are stored on the handheld, not on the DataSplice Server. To successfully complete the session, you need to reconnect and synchronize your modifications with the DataSplice Server.
Connecting Back to the DataSplice Server
|
When you are ready to connect back up with the DataSplice Server to synchronize your changes, tap the File menu and select the Connect menu option.
Note: The handheld device must have a TCP/IP network connection to be able to communicate with the server, i.e. through the cradle using an Ethernet cable or ActiveSync (PC) connection, or a wireless network connection, etc.

Uploading and Committing Changes

After tapping the OK button from the previous screen, DataSplice begins the process of synchronizing your modifications on the handheld device with the DataSplice Server. If you selected Get updated data from server, then after the synchronization is complete, you will be returned to the view to continue working. If you selected Release offline session and disconnect, you will be returned to the login screen. Please see the following Synchronization Finished section for more information.
Note: If there is a problem with one of the record changes you are trying to upload, you will receive an error:
Tap OK to close the error dialog box. You will be taken directly to the record that caused the error, where you can fix the problem. Once you have corrected the problem, tap the Commit Changes button |
and you will be taken back to the screen where your data is being uploaded to the DataSplice Server.
Synchronization Finished

If you selected Release offline session and disconnect, then after the synchronization is complete, the Remote Client will release its offline session and license, and return to the login screen. The handheld device is now ready to be used by a different user. |
