CommCare Sync Data

You can use a special URL to view what data will be sent to the phone when it syncs with CommCare HQ.

• View restore data for any mobile user in HQ.
  • View all data associated with a user: http://www.commcarehq.org/a/{my-project-space}/phone/restore/?as={user}@{my-project-space}.commcarehq.org&version=2.0
  • App Specific: http://www.commcarehq.org/a/{my-project-space}/phone/restore/{app_id}/?as={user}@{my-project-space}.commcarehq.org&version=2.0 (assumes current state of the app, not particular build)
  • Build Specific:  http://www.commcarehq.org/a/{my-project-space}/phone/restore/{build_id}/?as={user}@{my-project-space}.commcarehq.org&version=2.0
• Additional params:
  • since={previous restore id}
    • Incremental response since the previous sync.
  • items=true
    • Include the item number in the response.
  • overwrite_cache=true
    • Don't return a cached value but rather recompute the response. Deletes the cache, so the next time you sync on the phone, it will use the newly computed result.
  • raw=true
    • Raw restore response without the UI
  • device_id={device_id}
    • Fake a restore from a particular device id. WebApps uses a device ID of the form "WebAppsLogin".
      
  • app_id={app_id}
    • Restore using app aware sync. This will only sync down the reports for that particular application.
  • case_sync={clean_owners | livequery}
    • Select which case sync algorithm to use with this restore
      
  • hide_xml=true
    • Shows only aggregate case counts, without loading associated XML data
