1 Overview
The Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack creates a new Synchronizer system that consists of the
Synchronizer services, the GroupWise Connector, and the Mobility Connector on a single server.
This Synchronizer system enables you to easily synchronize GroupWise data to mobile devices.
Update 2 of the Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack provides the following enhanced features:
Synchronizer System Update:
When you update the Mobility Pack software, you also update
the Mobility database, so that all device information is retained during the update process.
GroupWise Authentication:
You can configure the Mobility Connector to accept GroupWise
mailbox passwords instead of LDAP (network) passwords when mobile devices connect to the
Synchronizer system.
GroupWise Connector Monitoring:
Synchronizer Web Admin now provides a Connector
Information Monitoring page for the GroupWise Connector, similar to what was already
available for the Mobility Connector.
Improved Device Blocking:
The Mobility Connector Information Monitoring page displays
the traffic level for each mobile device. This assists in recognizing when a device needs to be
blocked because it is having synchronization problems. This prevents a synchronization issue
with one device from impacting performance for all other devices.
Synchronization of Attachments:
When an attachment is too large to synchronize to your
mobile device, the item still includes the attachment icon and indicates that the attachment was
not downloaded because of its size.
Synchronization of Notes:
You can synchronize reminder notes, discussion notes, or both.
Nightly Maintenance:
Items in the Mobility database that have exceeded the age limit for
retention on mobile devices are automatically cleared from the database to maintain optimum
database performance.
