Examples 

Create a default subscription, which contains default subscription values, for the sales publication (by omitting the FOR clause). Indicate the address of the MobiLink synchronization server and specify that only the Certicom root certificate is to be trusted.

CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION
   TO sales_publication
   ADDRESS 'host=test.internal;port=2439;
      security=ecc_tls'
   OPTION memory='2m';

Subscribe MobiLink user ml_user1 to the sales publication. Set the memory option to 3 Mb, rather than the value specified in the default publication.

CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION
   TO sales_publication
   FOR ml_user1
   OPTION memory='3m';
