Sync Services Release Notes (10.5)
Known Problems and Fixes
Radar #3700924 [ISyncSession clientChangedRecordIdentifiers:] should be "atomic"
Clients cannot swap two identifiers of two records in one pass using clientChangedRecordIdentifiers:
.
For example, if clientChangedRecordIdentifiers:
is given the dictionary:
( |
a => b, |
b => a, |
) |
The two identifiers will not be swapped.
Workaround: Use two calls, and temporary IDs. First, remap B->TMPID2, and A->TMPID1. Then TMPID2->A and TMPID1->B.
Radar #3928977 Support for strongly ordered relationships
Relationships whose Ordering key is "strong" do not cause an alert panel to appear when a conflict occurs. Order is still maintained, and the sync engine merges ordering conflicts. This behavior is identical to the behavior for relationships whose Ordering key is "weak".
Radar #4427308 OriginalRelationshipTuple table should give way to a FormattedRelationshipTuple table
Clients which do not format relationships can get improved performance by setting the key "NeverFormatsRelationships" to true in their client description property list.
Radar #4532551 ISDDataWrappers rely on the underlying file system to support hard links
The way weakly ordered relationships are handled has been changed slightly to give the original intended semantics of a weakly ordered list. Such merges should result in more predictable behaviour.
Radar #4593540 A client should be able to immediately reuse a localid of an accepted deleted record
Clients can't delete a record, then re-use the deleted record's local ID within the same session.
Workaround: Remap the record to be deleted to a new local ID before deleting it. This frees the old record id so clients can rename a second record to the deleted local ID. For example, a client which wants to delete and/or accept a delete of a record with a local ID of "Phone1" and then rename the record with a local ID of "Phone2" to "Phone1" would do the following:
Remap "Phone1" to "temporaryID".
Delete "temporaryID".
Remap "Phone2" to "Phone1".
