Re: What happens if I break the connection during activesync in WM5 ?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I've not seen this on WM5 so far but on my WM2003 SE2... I have this
experience.

I sync my machine with my work and home PC. Sometimes, I would see my
whole list of contact start shrinking on my PC and then rebuilt again
during the sync. I dare not try it but what would happen if I remove
the connection ? Would I be left with 1 or 2 contacts ?

What you describe (Transactional Database) is at the System level.
But the application level plays a part.

Almost, the EDB database is transactional, so if you reset the device while
processing, those items will be lost and will need to be resent to the
device.

With that being said, it is never a good idea to reset your device. For
performance, there is an underlying RAM layer between the filesystem and
Flash (this doesn't affect the EDB database). If you surprise reset the
device, parts of the uncommitted data will be lost. It is always a good idea
to shutdown the smartphone or suspend the PocketPC before resetting.

So, if you hit soft reset during the actual updating, you could have a
problem, but breaking communication would not break anything in the sync
of those four types of items, if I understand you.

For Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks items the device can be removed at
anytime. The data is sent down to the device in batches of 100 and then
processed.

In WM2003 SE2, I can select the option so that it only sync on
connection. After that, there is no automatic sync. I have to
manually click the icon to sync.

In WM5, it does not have this option. So what happens if I need to
run and I pull the cable from my smartphone ? Would it corrupt my
data ?

I'm concern as MS took away this feature which I think would help to
safeguard my data from corruption !

Thanks.
