MobiLink Synchronization User's Guide
Tutorial: Using MobiLink with an Oracle 8i Consolidated Database
The MobiLink synchronization server can now be started from a command prompt. Since 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
Ensure that your consolidated database is running.
Open a command prompt and navigate to your OracleTut directory. Run the following command line:
dbmlsrv9 -c "dsn=ora_consol;pwd=manager" -o mlserver.mls -v+ -za -zu+
This command line specifies the following options:
-c Specifies connection parameters. Note that we only use the password as the User ID is contained in the DSN. For more information, see -c option.
-o Specifies the message log file. For more information, see -o option.
-v+ Sets verbose logging on. For more information, see -v option.
-dl Sets the display log feature ON.
-za Turns automated scripting ON. For more information, see -za option.
-zu+ Automates the user authentication process. For more information, see -zu option.
