Azure MobileOffline data sync

The best mobile apps handle network interruptions gracefully.

Adding offline sync to an app is usually hard.

With Azure Mobile, it’s easy.

Improve app responsiveness by caching server data locally on the device

Make apps resilient against intermittent network connectivity Allow end-users to create and modify data even when there is

no network access Sync data across multiple devices Detect and handle conflicts when the same record is modified

by more than one client

Why use mobile offline sync?

• Access data from Mobile Services tables even when app is offline

• Keep a local queue of Create, Update, Delete operations and synchronize with server when app is back online

• Detect conflicts when same item is changed both locally and on server

• Use soft delete to remove deleted records from client data stores

• Can use push notifications to trigger client sync

How it works

Mobile App backend reads from SQL and writes through to CRM

Mobile client SDK syncs SQLite db with Azure Mobile backend

Note: Client apps do not communicate directly with backend data source
