Synchronization Manager

Purpose

The Synchronization Manager provides a centralized, standard technology for synchronizing files for offline use on either a mobile computer or a computer connected to a local area network that has latency issues. Developers can use the common interface to the Synchronization Manger in their applications to synchronize files between the user's local computer and network storage.

Files are synchronized independent of the protocol. For example, an e-mail program can transfer its messages using SMTP, NMTP, or POP3, while a browser can use HTTP, and a database can use Remote Procedure Call (RPC).

Where Applicable

The Synchronization Manager is intended for applications that run primarily on mobile computers. Applications that run on computers connected to high latency local area networks may also benefit from using the Synchronization Manager.
