Capturing maintenance data in remote locations
Mobile inspectors and crew people can enter field data in
extremely remote locations; synchronization is assured
 32,500 route miles across 28 states and two Canadian provinces
 8,000 employees working along the rail lines provide field data that
is critical for maintenance planning.
 Data is entered into SQL Anywhere on laptops, then synchronize
with back-end DB2 database when connection is available.
 Labor savings of $7,500 per day by eliminating dial-up disconnect
problems
 Bandwidth-friendly, small footprint, easy to customize

Programming the synchronization logic
Event-based model
The synchronization server fires a sequence of
events for each request
The developer provides “synchronization scripts”
for relevant events
Extensive customization
over 60 separate events
Multiple sets of scripts
“Synchronization version” identifies a set of
synchronization scripts
Scripts for each event
…written in SQL
…often simple SQL statements
download_cursor:
SELECT col1,… FROM T …
upload_insert:
INSERT INTO T …
…add to SAP_HANA_SYNC schema
CALL SAP_HANA_SYNC.ml_add_table_script
('sync_version', 'T',
'upload_insert',
'INSERT INTO T…' );
Built-in parameters
user_ID, database_ID, last_timestamp

Proven reliability and scalability
Transaction integrity guarantees
Server farms: failover, redundancy, and scaleout
End-to-end encryption
Scalability testing tools
Comprehensive logging and error-handling options
Built-in or custom authentication
