Install the Adaptive Server Anywhere for Windows CE (ASA for CE) database on your mobile device. The database is used for persistent storage of system and mobile application data.
The CABinet (CAB) file for ASA for CE is located in:
SYBASE\UA80\tomcat\webapps\onepage\ota\wm
If you cannot access the Unwired Accelerator file system, or if you are WiFi-enabled, you can obtain the CAB file at:
http://hostname.domain:port/onepage/ota/wm/
To install a CAB file into any folder other than the
default destination, use a CAB file installer, such as the freeware
tool CabInstl, that allows you to browse for a CAB file, then select
where to install it.
CabInstl is available from http://s-k-tools.com/util.html (or go directly to http://s-k-tools.com/freeware/cabinstl.zip to obtain the downloadable zip file). The zip file includes three versions of the tool—English, German, and Russian. Other similar tools are available on the Internet.
If you are using CabInstl, manually create the folders to which you want to extract the CAB file content, before you unpackage the CAB file.
Installing ASA for CE
In this step, install ASA for CE on your mobile device. Since the CAB file is quite large (about 9MB), you may want to use ActiveSync to copy the file from Unwired Accelerator to the mobile device. Skip this procedure if ASA for CE is already installed on your device.
Use ActiveSync to connect your mobile device to your PC.
Use File Explorer to navigate to: SYBASE\tomcat\webapps\onepage\ota\wm
Explore the mobile device and copy the asa_ce.ARM.30.CAB file to the device.
Use File Explorer on the device to browse to where you placed the asa_ce.ARM.30.CAB file.
Tap on asa_ce.ARM.30.CAB once to start the installation.
If you have a memory card plugged into the device, you may be prompted to install the database to the device or the memory card. Optimally, select the device memory as the installation destination for faster runtime performance.
However, if your device is running low on storage space, you can select the memory card.
On Windows Mobile 2003 devices, create the destination
folder on the memory card, \Storage Card\Program
Files\Sybase\ASA9, then use the CAB
installer to extract the files into this folder.
On Windows Mobile 5, the operating system is designed to create the destination folder automatically.
