Server Data Update Rules and Conflict Logging
The rules governing when server data is updated and how conflicts are logged are:
Server Entity Field or Attribute Being Updated | Laptop Import File Entity File Entity Field or Attribute | Action |
Present | Present and same |
None |
Present and different |
No update Message to log |
|
Absent |
Retain server data |
|
Absent | Present |
Update server with laptop imported data |
Absent |
None |
You can see from the above that if you change an attribute on an entity it won't change the server data. But if you add an attribute then the server data will have the additional attribute data added to it.
