the ROM. </p> <p>You can specify the creation of passive data, active data
or snapshot data transfer type by passing a <xref href="GUID-169BB4E2-5B0E-3719-A7B8-A3C0AAA602E2.dita#GUID-169BB4E2-5B0E-3719-A7B8-A3C0AAA602E2/GUID-55127967-CF91-3AEF-8304-DB60B287036F"><apiname>conn::TTransferDataType</apiname></xref> parameter
value to the <codeph>CSBSIDTransferType::NewL()</codeph> function. For example,
passing <codeph>EActiveSnapshotData</codeph> to <codeph>CSBSIDTransferType:NewL()</codeph> creates
an active snapshot transfer type. </p> </li>

Data owners of this type are usually installed through SIS files. Installing
a package may install may install several applications (data owners). Each
package is identified by a package ID while each data owner is identified
by a package ID, a package name and an SID. </p> <p>Packages are often installed
to a system drive, their data and snapshots are referred to as system data
and system data snapshots. </p> </li>
