Introducing MobiLink Synchronization
MobiLink is a session-based synchronization system that allows two-way synchronization between a main database, called the consolidated database, and many remote databases. The consolidated database, which can be one of several ODBC-compliant databases, holds the master copy of all the data. Remote databases can be either Adaptive Server Anywhere or UltraLite databases.
Synchronization typically begins when a MobiLink remote site opens a connection to a MobiLink synchronization server. During synchronization, the MobiLink client at the remote site uploads database changes that were made to the remote database since the previous synchronization. On receiving this data, the MobiLink synchronization server updates the consolidated database, and then downloads changes on the consolidated database to the remote database.
