In the Mobile Devices Administrator you can administer synchronization processes through a set of synchronization objects. These synchronization objects include users, groups, subscriptions, and subscription sets. When you create, edit, or delete synchronization objects, the Mobile Devices Administrator records this administration information in the DB2 Everyplace control database (DSYCTLDB). What this mean is that when you click OK on a window in the Mobile Devices Administrator user interface, all the information from that process is stored in the control database.
With the XML Scripting tool, you can export this information from the control database into an XML script file and edit it to for bulk processing or automation. For example, in the Mobile Devices Administrator you can add only one user at a time to a group. If you have a large number of users, it would be time consuming to perform this task in the Mobile Devices Administrator. With the XML Scripting tool you can add many users to a group at once. You can also use the XML Scripting tool for easy duplication or movement of the data from one server to several other servers.
The XML Scripting tool can be invoked from the command line or it can be invoked programmatically from a Java application.
