Lesson 3: Running the MobiLink synchronization client

The MobiLink client may now be started from a command prompt. The MobiLink client initiates synchronization.

You can 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 that the MobiLink synchronization server is started.

2. Open a command prompt and navigate to your OracleTut directory. Run the following command line:

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

   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.

   • -e    Extended options. Specifying "SendColumnNames=ON" sends column names to MobiLink. For more information, see -e option.
