Operation Task Diagrams
The generic operation objects used by TICoreDataSync to perform synchronization tasks follow a very specific sequence.
Editor's note: These diagrams have remain unchanged from the early days of development on the framework, but they are mostly still correct and do a good job providing a high level overview of the framework.
The TICDSApplicationRegistrationOperation class deals with registering an application for the first time, checking for or enabling encryption, and registering a client for the first time.
The TICDSDocumentRegistrationOperation class deals with registering a document, or a client for that document for the first time.
The TICDSListOfPreviouslySynchronizedDocumentsOperation class deals with fetching a list of the documents for which synchronization data exists on the remote (i.e., that have previously been registered for synchronization by a client).
The TICDSWholeStoreUploadOperation class deals with uploading the entire document store file from a client.
The TICDSWholeStoreDownloadOperation class deals with downloading the entire document store file for a client.
The TICDSSynchronizationOperation class deals with synchronizing changes between clients.
The TICDSVacuumOperation class deals with cleaning up remote synchronization files that are no longer needed by registered clients (such as sets of changes that have been applied by all clients).
The TICDSDocumentDeletionOperation class deals with deleting all the remote sync files for a given document.
The TICDSListOfApplicationRegisteredClientsOperation class deals with fetching a list of clients that are registered to synchronize with an application.
The TICDSListOfDocumentRegisteredClientsOperation class deals with fetching a list of clients that are registered to synchronize with a document.
The TICDSDocumentClientDeletionOperation class deals with the deletion of the directories used by a client to synchronize with a document.
