BlackBerry Sync Server SDK

The BlackBerry® Sync Server SDK (SyncSDK) enables developers to create applications that wirelessly synchronize information in enterprise backend databases with data on the device.

The SyncSDK is composed of:

  • Installer for server-side synchronization connector
  • Sample server custom connector
  • Sample device synchronization code
  • Documentation

You can use the SyncSDK to develop a custom database connector for wireless synchronization.

A wireless synchronization system requires the following items:

  • A server application that connects with the connector
  • A connector DLL specific to the server application
  • A Java® application for the BlackBerry® device that uses the wireless synchronization classes and methods
  • A database engine; if necessary, the package installs MSDE

To test new applications that you create with the SyncSDK, you require both the BlackBerry MDS™ Simulator and the BlackBerry device simulator.
