Considerations When Exploiting Enterprise Mobility
 Who needs Access?
 Which devices?
 Is there connectivity available?
 What application/information is needed on-site?
 How do I manage these devices?
 What level of security is required?
 How do I connect across different network protocols?

JDBC subscriptions
 Database deltas are synchronized between the clients and mirror
database.
 Deltas between the mirror and source are only transferred after
replication.
© 2006 IBM Corporation
21
DB2 Everyplace Subscriptions for IDS
 A replication subscription provides specifications for how the information
in a source system (an enterprise server) is to be synchronized with a
target system (the mobile device).
 JDBC subscriptions provide users with access to data in source tables on a data source
with a JDBC interface, including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, Sybase, and
Lotus Domino.
 Upload subscriptions only allows the user to directly insert rows into a table on a source
database. Related tables on the mobile devices are not refreshed during synchronization.
 File subscriptions allow replication of any type of file stored at the source server and are
not bi-directional.
 .

22
Sync Server
 DB2 Everyplace uses several metadata tables to maintain information
about its internal structure.
 The performance of relational databases will typically decline as tables
grow unless they are periodically reorganized.
 Customer data should reside in backend servers on separate systems
from the DB2 Everyplace system for maximum performance.

replication.
 Custom Logic provides a mechanism for:
 Real-time synchronization and replication
 Primary key substitution
 Customize conflict resolution
 Callbacks available for:
 start/end of database replication
 start/end of table replication or synchronization
 changed row of table during replication or synchronizationJavadocs

Best Practice
 DB2e
 Create indices for the most common queries
 Minimize the number of records needed on the client (filter)
 Synchronize often when you make client changes
 Subscriptions




Subscriptions with different replication needs should go to different mirrors
Include as many tables as possible in a subscription
Use long replication cycle
Use upload subscriptions if possible for performance
 Inserts directly on the source
 Minimize the use of complex filters
© 2006 IBM Corporation
31
Best Practice (continue)
 Design solution with no or minimum conflicts
 Try to separate static and dynamic data in your
design
 Client communication
 Adjust the timeout value for the client (default 30 sec)
 Increase HTTP I/O timeout on WAS and HTTP Server
(default 5 sec, use 30-60 sec)
