MobiLink Synchronization User's Guide
Adaptive Server Anywhere Clients
ActiveSync is synchronization software for Microsoft Windows CE handheld devices. Adaptive Server Anywhere MobiLink clients can use ActiveSync version 3.1 or 3.5.
ActiveSync governs synchronization between a Windows CE device and a desktop computer. A MobiLink provider for ActiveSync governs synchronization to the MobiLink synchronization server, as shown in the following diagram.
Setting up ActiveSync synchronization for Adaptive Server Anywhere clients involves the following steps:
Configure the Adaptive Server Anywhere remote database for ActiveSync synchronization.
See Configuring Adaptive Server Anywhere remote databases for ActiveSync.
Install the MobiLink provider for ActiveSync.
Register the Adaptive Server Anywhere client for use with ActiveSync.
See Registering Adaptive Server Anywhere clients for ActiveSync.
If you use ActiveSync synchronization, synchronization must be initiated from the ActiveSync software. The MobiLink provider for ActiveSync can start dbmlsync or it can wake a dbmlsync that is sleeping as scheduled by a schedule string.
You can also put dbmlsync into a sleep mode using a delay hook in the remote database, but the MobiLink provider for ActiveSync cannot invoke synchronization from this state.
For information about scheduling synchronization, see Scheduling synchronization.
