Query related to local Orders ( after it syncs )

Question

Hi all
When we create a local Order "NEW" is assigned to the Order id (I know that internally a unique sync key is defined).
How do i get the corresponding order id after the synchronization without resetting all the data in the client ?
Thanks

hello vipin,
there's no api to do this at the moment. the "real" key
assigned to your newly created synbo is mapped to your
deviceid in the middleware. so in your client, all newly
created syncbo instances have local keys (<100000). now,
when you try to modify syncbo having these local keys after
you had uploaded them, the middleware takes care which
syncbo instance is to be modified by retrieving the real
global key.
a simple workaround is to define a semantic field which
will be updated with the global key that is returned when
your syncbo is inserted in the backend. if you have worked
with the contact address sample application (SAP_EXM002),
the person number field is a semantic key field which is
assigned with a value on the middleware when the data in
inserted into the backend. this value is then returned to
the client and that field is updated. you can define the
same sort of a semantic key field for the global synckey.
