Mobile Application Data Model

Dynamics Mobile Applications has the ability to store data locally. This requires the applications to have a mechanism to exchange data with the backend (other apps or backends), when online.

The mechanism in this case is based over the exchange of Synchronization Packets via the ERP API

Every application developed with Dynamics Mobile SDK, has a data model, describe as a number of business objects. Every business object has properties (members). The application may write data locally in the defined business objects, which are stored locally but also sent to Dynamics Mobile Platform as a Synchronization Packet, which describe the changes. The generated Synchronization packet is stored and processed in Dynamics Mobile Platform and is available for fetching by external systems ( ERP) via ERP API

The actual tables/entities in the Synchronization packet depends on the actual data model defined in the application as well as from the actual content included in the packet ( e.g. one or more entities).

Every application has a specific data model and flow - e.g. sends different syncpackets in different cases. So, when external system ( ERP ) is about to be integrated with Dynamics Mobile it has to be integrated with specific application and flow.
