Lesson 3: Running the MobiLink synchronization server


The MobiLink synchronization server can be started from a command prompt. Since the MobiLink synchronization server is a client to the consolidated database, your consolidated database must be started prior to starting MobiLink. If you shut down your consolidated database following Lesson 1, you should restart the database.

To start the MobiLink synchronization server

  1. Ensure that your consolidated database is running by looking in the system tray for the SQL icon.

  2. Open a command prompt and navigate to Samples\MobiLink\Autoscripting. Run the following command:

    dbmlsrv9 -c "dsn=test_consol" -o mlserver.mls -v+ -dl -zu+

This command line specifies the following options:

Once you have executed the MobiLink synchronization server command, the output below appears.

A MobiLink output screen, with a display screen showing Ready to Handle Requests.

If MobiLink is already running when you attempt to run dbmlsrv9, you will receive an error message. Shut down the current instance of MobiLink and attempt to run the command again.
