Deployment of the MobiLink Synchronization Model Wizard in SQL Anywhere 10 - Choosing Client Stream Parameters
(Page 5 of 6 )
This takes you to the next step of choosing Client Stream Parameters. It is basically the client host. In this case the machine Hodentek is the client host as shown in the next window. This screen comes up with the default client host name as shown. You may also type in additional parameters. For this tutorial the default was accepted and no additional parameters were specified.

Clicking on the Next button brings up the next window where the Mobilink Server Stream can have additional communication parameters specified. The default, which leaves this field empty, was accepted.

Clicking on the Next button brings up the window shown in the following picture where you choose the Verbosity for MobiLink Server settings. These settings define the quantity of information and the message logs displayed in the server window. The defaults shown in the screen are accepted. The message log file is ml.txt.

When you click on the Next button you will get to the screen shown in the next picture. Here you choose the options for the MobiLink Server; if needed you may give a name. You may also specify other command-line options if you want. The command file to start the Mobilink server, the Test10Sync_mlsrv.bat file, and its default location are also shown.

Again the defaults in the above screen were accepted. When you click on Next button, the Sybase Central message comes up advising you about the lack of a directory for the server file and asking whether you want it to be created.

When you click on the Yes button the directory will be created and the screen that shows up is for the "Verbosity For SQL Anywhere Remote Synchronization Client" settings. The default options were chosen as shown in the next picture. Please pay attention to the note regarding the verbosity and performance relationship.

When you click on the Next button, you come to a screen shown in the next picture, where you may choose many additional extended options for the client. These include additional command-line arguments for the synchronization client (dbmlsync) as well as the location for saving the file necessary to start the synchronization client.
