Overview

The ASG_SYNCH_SERVER table is a core data object within the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.1.1 and 12.2.2, specifically for the ASG - CRM Gateway for Mobile Devices product. This module facilitates the synchronization of data between the central EBS database and mobile field service devices. The table serves as the master repository for all configured Mobile Device Gateway servers. It stores essential metadata and configuration information about each synchronization server instance, enabling the management and routing of data packets for mobile users. Its primary role is to act as a reference point for the entire mobile gateway infrastructure, ensuring that synchronization requests from devices are correctly processed by the appropriate server components.

Key Information Stored

While the provided metadata does not list all columns, the structure indicates the table's central purpose. The primary key, SERVER_ID, uniquely identifies each gateway server instance. Based on the table's description and foreign key relationships, other columns likely store critical configuration details such as the server's network address (hostname or IP), communication ports, status (active/inactive), protocol settings, and descriptive names. This information is fundamental for the CRM Gateway to establish connections, manage server loads, and log synchronization activities accurately for each server in the deployment.

Common Use Cases and Queries

This table is primarily accessed for administrative and diagnostic purposes within the mobile gateway context. Common use cases include generating an inventory of all active synchronization servers, troubleshooting connectivity issues for specific mobile users, and auditing server utilization. A typical administrative query would retrieve a list of all configured servers:

  • SELECT server_id, server_name, status, host_name FROM asg.asg_synch_server ORDER BY server_id;

Another common scenario involves joining with the ASG_DEVICE_USERS table to determine which gateway server is assigned to a particular mobile user, which is essential for diagnosing failed synchronization sessions:

  • SELECT du.user_id, ss.server_name, ss.host_name FROM asg.asg_device_users du, asg.asg_synch_server ss WHERE du.server_id = ss.server_id;

Related Objects

The ASG_SYNCH_SERVER table is a central hub with numerous foreign key relationships, as documented. Its primary key, SERVER_ID, is referenced by several other tables in the ASG schema to associate specific data and configurations with a gateway server. The related tables include:

  • ASG_DEVICE_USERS - Links mobile users to a specific synchronization server via ASG_DEVICE_USERS.SERVER_ID.
  • ASG_SERVER_RESOURCES - Stores resource allocations or settings per server via ASG_SERVER_RESOURCES.SERVER_ID.
  • ASG_WIRELESS_PARAMETERS - Holds wireless configuration parameters tied to a server via ASG_WIRELESS_PARAMETERS.SERVER_ID.
  • ASG_SERVER_PUBS - Manages publication definitions for a server via ASG_SERVER_PUBS.SERVER_ID.
  • Access Tables (ASG_*_ACC) - Multiple tables (ASG_INCIDENT_ACC, ASG_LOCATION_ACC, ASG_PARTY_ACC, ASG_PARTY_SITE_ACC, ASG_TASK_ACC) use SERVER_ID to track access control or synchronization status for specific data entities (Incidents, Locations, Parties, etc.) on a per-server basis.
