CommunicationType (ctp) extended option

Function 

Specifies the communication type for connecting to the MobiLink server.

Syntax 

dbmlsync -e ctp=sync-type; ...

Description 

sync-type can be one of tcpip, http, https, or ActiveSync. If you purchase a special license, you can also use ecc_tls and rsa_tls. The default is tcpip.

You must ensure that all subscriptions for a MobiLink user are synchronized to only one consolidated database. Otherwise, you may experience data loss and unpredictable behavior.

This option has a short form and long form: you can use ctp or CommunicationAddress.

This option can also be stored in the database using the SQL statement that creates or alters a publication, subscription, or user. For more information, see CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION USER statement [MobiLink].

Example 

The following dbmlsync command line illustrates how you can set this option when you start dbmlsync:

dbmlsync -e "ctp=https"

To store the Address or CommunicationType in the database, you can use an extended option or you can use the ADDRESS or TYPE clause. For example,

CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION
   TO sales_publication
   FOR ml_user1
   TYPE 'tcpip'
   ADDRESS host='localhost'
