Using the SOSL Sync Down Target

Mobile Sync wraps the SOSL query you provide as a REST request and sends it to Salesforce.

Configuration File Usage

For the "target" property, specify the following values.

Target Properties
"type":"sosl"
"query": <string>
The SOSL query.
"idFieldName": <string>
(Optional) Name of a custom ID field. If you provide "idFieldName", Mobile Sync uses the field with the given name to get the ID of the record. For example, if you specify "idFieldName":"AcmeId", Mobile Sync obtains the record’s ID from the AcmeId field instead of the default Id field.
"modificationDateFieldName": <string>
(Optional) Name of the field containing the last modification date for the record. If you provide modificationDateFieldName, Mobile Sync uses the field with this name to compute the maxTimestamp value that startFetch uses to resync the records. Default field name is lastModifiedDate.

iOS APIs

These factory methods create a SOSL sync down target that defines the "query" property. To specify the optional "idFieldName" and "modificationDateFieldName" properties, set their superclass members on the returned target.

Swift
Class: SoslSyncDownTarget
1SoslSyncDownTarget.newSyncTarget(_ query:String) → Self
Objective-C
Class: SFSoslSyncDownTarget
1+ (SFSoslSyncDownTarget*) newSyncTarget:(NSString*)query;

Android APIs

These factory methods create a SOSL sync down target that contains the "query" property. To specify the optional "idFieldName" and "modificationDateFieldName" properties, set their superclass members on the returned target.

Kotlin
Class: SoslSyncDownTarget
1public fun SoslSyncDownTarget(query: String)
Java
Class: SoslSyncDownTarget
1public SoslSyncDownTarget(String query)
