Running Istoriam on multiple devices 

 

One of the advantages of using iCloud is the capability of using Istoriam on multiple devices and have the database on all the devices in sync. All the devices connected to the same iCloud account will upload any local changes to the same iCloud database and retrieve locally any modifications made to that common iCloud database. Hence if you add, delete or modify a Record or a Filter, or if you do any changes to the Configuration data, those changes will be uploaded to iCloud. iCloud will then notify all the other devices logged to the account of the changes, which will result in those devices applying the same changes to their local databases.

 

However, with the current release, changes should not be made on one device until the changes made on another device had had the time to propagate and be received by the other devices, otherwise, you might create a conflict in the databases that can result in loss of data.

 

Hence, to avoid database conflicts, you should ensure that any changes you do on one device are propagated to the other devices before you do any changes on those devices. If a conflict does occur, the conflict has to be solved manually as described in "Solving database conflicts".
