The Data Management Service is a Flex Data Services feature that lets you create applications that work with distributed data. This feature lets you build applications that provide data synchronization, data replication, and occasionally connected application services. Additionally, you can manage large collections of data and nested data relationships, such as one-to-one and one-to-many relationships, and use data adapters to integrate with data resources.
A client-side DataService component, which you can create in MXML or ActionScript, calls methods on a server-side Data Management Service destination to perform such activities as filling client-side data collections with data from remote data sources and synchronizing the client and server versions of data.
