Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with what settings to use/write to include a sync. interval in a OMA Syncml provisioning document?

I know there's a way to do it butI cannot seem to find what the correct format is.

My Sony Ericsson W595 supports this feature and I have received an OMA including the sync interval being set from my phone company so I know it can be done, but how?

I have found this "<characteristic type="Sync">", but it seems to be for Windows Mobile and I cannot find any documentation on it in either Nokia or Sony Ericssons OMA documents.

There's no native support for this in the Nowsms webinterface, so what is the correct format for including a sync. interval(For instance once every week) when sending out a Syncml OMA?

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Morten,

If a polling interval can be provisioned, I would expect it to be a parameter under the "w5" application.

<characteristic type="APPLICATION">
<parm name="APPID" value="w5"/>
<parm name="TO-NAPID" value="INTERNET"/>
<parm name="ADDR" value="http://sync"/>
....

I've checked various vendor documents, but I can't find anyone defining a poll interval.

But I was thinking about what other applications would use polling, and e-mail came to mind.

Nokia lists support for a "POLL" parameter to specify the polling interval for e-mail accounts (APPID = 110 for POP3 or 143 for IMAP).

I don't see this parameter defined anywhere as being supported for SyncML, but it's the closest thing I could find.

Try adding this to the <characteristic type="APPLICATION"> section.

<parm name="POLL" value="1440"/>

Value in minutes ... this example is 1440 minutes, or 24 hours/1 day.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the try, but it didn't take:-(

It didn't work, all other settings are set, but not the sync interval.

Will NOWSMS parse the received settings into one of the log files if I send an OMA to the attached modem so that I can see how the message/settings looks in one of the log files?
This seems to be the only way to figure out how they set this in the OMA that they send out.
I cannot find any documentation on this any where:-(

In which Nokia document did you find the "Poll" reference, don't seem to be able to find this either.

Thanks again.

Hi Morten,

If you can capture the other OTA, post it and we will decode it manually.

The Nokia info is in some text files included in the ZIP when downloading th e Series 60 provisioning docs from Forum Nokia.

Hi Again,

I think I might have misunderstood something...

It seems that the sync interval is not set in the provosioning SMS, but instead might be handled from the Server of the phone company. There's an option on the webpage to specify how often to sync and when it's time to sync, it sends out an SMS. The whole thing might be done with Device management instead. I'm not sure as the service to send out the settings from the phone company is down and have been the last week. There for I cannot get the raw data of the provisioning SMS but i got the data from the SMS being sent out when it's time to sync.

What is being registered in the SMSdebug.log is:
07916407970910F14405811731F30004010152711522802F0605040B840B84010603CEAF85D38C89 750B8880A8CEDB91F973F8501E030000000000000974323235363733333300

can you make out what it is they are sending?

That's a push message with a MIME content type of application/vnd.syncml.ds.notification

I believe this is "service alerted sync" as defined in http://www.openmobilealliance.org/Technical/release_program/ds_v1_2_2.aspx
