Components of the DB2 Everyplace solution

The DB2 Everyplace solution for mobile data synchronization includes the following main components:

DB2 Everyplace database engine
Software that runs on the dispositivo portátil and allows users to access and modify a local copy of data from a source system. See the DB2 Everyplace Guía de desarrollo de aplicaciones for information about the DB2 Everyplace database engine and how to write applications that use the database software.

DB2 Everyplace Sync Server
A client/server program that manages two-way data synchronization between a source and a target database.

The Sync Server acts as an intermediary between the synchronization client software on the dispositivo portátil and the DB2 UDB database or the JDBC database on the source server. The Mobile Devices Administration Center, a graphical administration tool for the Sync Server, allows you to define subsets of data and files to be accessed by groups of users. The Sync Server accesses this administration information each time a user requests data synchronization.

DB2 Everyplace Mobile Application Builder
A rapid application development tool that allows you to both build and test DB2 Everyplace applications for dispositivos portátiles. Refer to the ayuda en línea para DB2 Everyplace Mobile Application Builder for more information about this tool.

Figura 8 shows how the tools in the solution work together.

Figura 8. How the tools in the DB2 Everyplace solution work together

Begin Figure 1. Two boxes, one representing an application development and the other representing synchronization. The box representing application development contains an icon representing the DB2 Everyplace (database engine). The DB2 Everyplace icon has an arrow with the word develop underneath it pointing to an icon representing the Mobile Application Builder. The Mobile Application Builder has an arrow with the word test underneath it pointing back to the DB2 Everyplace icon. In the middle of the two boxes is an arrow; underneath the arrow, it reads "move to production". The box representing synchronization contains three images. The first image represents the DB2 Everyplace (database engine), the mobile device. The second image represents the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server, the multi-tier system. The third image represents the DB2 Universal Database, the source system. In the image, there is a lightening bolt connecting the first image to the second image and the second image to the third image. The two lightening bolts represent synchronization. End Figure 1.
