Knowing which records have been updated

[Jake_R]

Hi There,

 

I would like to know which records have been synced and then run functions based on the newly synced (updated) records. 

 

How could I accomplish this?

would a modification stamp not doing the job?

[Jake_R]

It would normally, but would the same rule apply with mirrorsync? are the records only effected when a change is made or would mirrorsync somehow trigger the modstamp when it checks what records to update? Also the modstamp would change even if the record on the main file/server was updated. 

 

I want to be able to tell which records have been added and which have been updated from the local copy and then see what has been added and updated from the local copy and perform an action on the server.

 

I want to be able to know which ipad updated what data and when.

Hi Jake - MirrorSync does not specifically offer this as a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to accomplish. We don't set the modification timestamp except when we're actually writing a change, so by using a combination of the modification timestamp and the 'modified by' (which will be the user who did the sync), you can find all the records that they changed.
