Local Notifications and Sync?

[Ocean West]

I haven't tried or tested, curious to know if you deploy local notifications, like a reminder to for something in your FMGO solution an a few hours from now. And then perform a sync only to be informed that you have a 'new version' does the iOS device remember the notification and execute at set time or does removing the individual file remove any pending local notifications?

That depends on how you're doing the local notifications. If it's an OnTimer script step, you'll need to re-schedule that with the new file, because OnTimer is associated with a particular window.

Fundamentally, what happens with MirrorSync's autodeploy feature is:

* Finish sync

* Download temp file to container field

* Export temp container field to local file system

* Open temp file, close live file

* Download new version into temp file container field

* Export new version, overwriting previous version

* Open new version

Thanks Jesse, do you know if "Configure Local Notification" treated the same as an onTimer/window trigger or do you know if it's FMGo Application or File specific? 

I'd think it would be more FMApp tapping in to IOS api's since it operates when db is in background or closed.

That's a good question; I don't know if that script step is associated with a particular database file, a database name, or a window.
