We have an application that allows users to enter data on a desktop. Another version is for users to use a PDA to do the same There is a synchronization engine that sends 'tasks' to the PDA so people can enter data (questionnaire) offsite. Users then return to the office and synchronize the PDA so data goes into the Database.
We would like to implement a similar feature by allowing the Desktop Data entry to be disconnected and synchronized on a laptop.
The Application exists. It needs the 'Work Offline' mode with the synchronization engine with logic similar to the PDA.
In short, read PDA synchronization logic, duplicate for laptop version. Use data timestamp for figuring out which data goes back and forth.
Main Application is Java (Web), Databases are Oracle and SQL Server. Laptop must run MSDE (SQL Servers runtime engine).
