Abstract

A synchronization protocol is used to transfer information from a remote computing system to a client device. At the remote computing system, synchronization configuration information is retrieved. The synchronization configuration includes a synchronization rule specifying a data object schema to which the synchronization rule will apply, truncation criteria, and a truncation threshold. The truncation threshold specifies a maximum amount of shared data object instances of the data object schema that may be sent to the client device during a synchronization task. The remote computing system analyzes metadata of a plurality of shared data object instances of the data object schema. Relevant shared data object instances of the plurality of shared data object instances meeting the truncation criteria are determined by the remote computing system. The relevant data object instances are sent from the remote computing system to the client device until the truncation threshold is met.
