ABSTRACT:
Various illustrative examples of a synchronization mechanism are described. A synchronization schema may be adopted to allow an application to save configuration details for a synchronization operation in a format which may easily be discovered by other applications without the need of a registration/de-registration mechanism. The synchronization mechanism may be executed in response to user entered parameters specifying the type and other characteristics of operation.
