  • Patent number: 10210216
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to system, method, computer program product embodiments and combinations and sub-combinations thereof for generating dynamic attribute elements and dynamic attributes for MBOs. An embodiment includes generating dynamic attribute elements for MBO metadata in a manner that enables a mobile application to directly access and modify dynamic attributes included within the dynamic attribute elements. In an embodiment, dynamic attributes are included within the dynamic attribute elements arbitrarily to synchronization sessions of a server and a mobile application. The embodiment also allows the mobile application to set a value associated with a dynamic attribute. Another embodiment includes embedding a dynamic attributes entity in generated client code and downloading dynamic MBO attributes and associated metadata when the client synchronizes with the server.

  • Patent number: 8909662
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for synchronizing data within a native PIM data store in a device an enterprise data. Data modifications generated by mobile applications on the device, or by an enterprise server, are identified and reflected into the native PIM data store. Additionally, a listener is provided to detect modifications to relevant data within the native PIM data store and reflect these modifications in the mobile applications and the enterprise server. The framework which accomplishes this further provides platform-independent access to the native PIM data store.

  • Patent number: 8788458
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program product embodiments and combinations and sub-combinations thereof for data caching and cache synchronization are described herein. An embodiment includes comparing data in a cache with data stored at a data source and determining database operations needed to synchronize one or more partitions of the cache with the data source. Each cache partition is associated with mobile business object (MBO) metadata of a distinct mobile device and the determined database operations are executed to synchronize the partitions with the data source. By refreshing only those partitions which are pertinent to a given device, embodiments of the invention may increase parallelism by allowing multiple partitions to refresh concurrently. The embodiment further comprises reviewing a caching policy associated with the cache. The caching policy may be selected in a manner that reduces data traffic and redundant requests on the data source.
