Adding subscriptions
A synchronization subscription links a particular MobiLink user
with a publication. You must have at least one publication and one user
to create a subscription.
A subscription can also carry other information needed for
synchronization. For example, you can specify the address of the
MobiLink server and other connection options. Values for a specific
subscription override those set for individual MobiLink users.
Overriding options in the wizard
You can override the MobiLink server name and port set for the
subscription and user with settings in the ASA MobiLink
Synchronization wizard in PowerBuilder.
Synchronization subscriptions are required in MobiLink SQL
Anywhere remote databases. Server logic is implemented through
synchronization scripts, stored in the MobiLink system tables in the
consolidated database.
A single SQL Anywhere database can synchronize with more than one
MobiLink synchronization server. To allow synchronization with multiple
servers, create different subscriptions for each server.
