Lesson 4: Running the MobiLink synchronization client

The MobiLink synchronization client may now be started from a command prompt. Adaptive Server Anywhere clients initiate MobiLink synchronization by using the dbmlsync utility.

You specify connection parameters on the dbmlsync command line using the -c option. These parameters are for the remote database.

To start the MobiLink client

1. Ensure the MobiLink synchronization server is running by looking for the MobiLink icon in the system tray.

2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the Samples\MobiLink\AutoScripting subdirectory of your SQL Anywhere 9 installation.

3. Run the following command line:

   dbmlsync -c "dsn=test_remote" -o dbmlsync.out -v+

   This command line specifies the following options:

   • -c    Supply database connection parameters. For more information, see -c option.

   • -o    Specify the message log file. For more information, see -o option.

   • -v+    Verbose operation. For more information, see -v option.

Once you have executed the MobiLink synchronization client command, the output below appears to indicate that synchronization has succeeded. After synchronization, the remote database is populated with the data from the consolidated database.
