Estimation of incoming data on MI client

Question

Hello All ,
When user synchronises on MI client to download some application from SAP Web Console , user does not know in advance how muchtime  it would take . many times , in 1 synchronization , data is not complete . User has to sync many times before the application and application data is completely downloaded on client .
Is there any way by which I can know in advance how much data will be downloaded and how much time it will take to download complete data ?  Can I show a status bar on MI client showing % of time remaining or % of data downloaded ? Is it possible in the first place ? If it is possible , then end users who do not understand MI Sync process will understand what they need to do .
Thank You ,

Hi,
There is a "dirty" way to know how much data is "incoming".  It implies the use of the transaction MEREP_MON on the middleware.
This transaction will show you the state of the data transfer between the Backend and the middleware (in fact it will show the status of the Incoming and the Outgoing data on the MW).
To use this transaction, you need to find your Mobile ID.  Once you have this, go on the Middleware, use transaction MEREP_PD --> (click tab) Mobile ID --> on field Mobile ID, hit F4 key, then in field Device GUID (4th down) enter the device ID from your MI.  Press enter, then chose the line where your user is next to your application (it will show all apps deployed on that device ID, each with a mobile ID).
Once you have that mobile ID for your application, go in MEREP_MON, enter the mobile ID, and hit execute.
You should get a page with the transfer status, errors and all relevant data.
it is a "dirty, hands on" solution, but at least with it you can see if the data is on the way or not.
Hope this helped!
