Can standard DO can be used as Receiver Generation DO?

Can standard DO can be used as Receiver Generation DO? and the Std. DO can be mapped to RMM?

If not, then what are the difference in the features of Standard DO & Receiver Gen DO?

Hi Romi

A Standard and RecGen DO are two different DO categories.

A data object category defines a default flow definition for a data object. When you create a data object, you choose the data object category you want to serve as its template. The newly created data object inherits the flow definition from the selected data object category.

You cannot use a Standard DO in place of a RecGen DO, coz they have fairly different functionalities.

Standard DO has the basic functionality of transferring the data between DOE and client and vice versa.

Where as Receiver generation (RecGen) data objects are used to generate the logical devices for the mobile clients for the purposes of distributing data to the appropriate subscribers. The fields defined in the receiver generation data object define the information to be extracted from the back end for storage in the device inventory. These fields are mapped to receiver meta model fields.
