UltraLite Database User's Guide
  Tutorial: Walking Through a Sample UltraLite Application

Lesson 1: Start the MobiLink synchronization server

When you start the sample UltraLite application for the first time, it contains no data. The application carries out an initial synchronization to download an initial copy of the data from the consolidated database. You must have the database server running in order to carry out this initial download, and you must also have the MobiLink synchronization server running against the UltraLite sample database.

The SQL Anywhere Studio installation adds some items to the Start menu to make this step easier.

To start the MobiLink synchronization server against the consolidated database

1. Start the consolidated database server, running the CustDB sample database.

   The Adaptive Server Anywhere consolidated database server runs on your desktop machine. From the Start menu, choose Programs > Sybase SQL Anywhere 9 > UltraLite > Personal Server Sample for UltraLite.

2. Start the MobiLink synchronization server against the CustDB database.

   The MobiLink synchronization server connects to the consolidated database server through ODBC. It could run from a separate machine from the database server, but in this example we will run it on the same machine.

   From the Start menu, select Programs > SQL Anywhere 9 > MobiLink > Synchronization Server Sample.

   The command executed by this icon connects the MobiLink synchronization server to the consolidated database server.
