Starts synchronization between a remote and consolidated database. The syntax you use depends on whether you include command line parameters with the dbmlsync synchronization call.
To start synchronization |
Use |
|---|---|
Without including command line parameters |
|
With command line parameters that you include in the synchroniztion call |
Starts synchronization between a remote and consolidated database.
MLSynchronization, MLSync controls
SyncObject.Synchronize ( )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
syncObject |
The name of the synchronization object. |
Integer. Returns 1 for success and -1 for failure. Any other return value is an error code from dbmlsync.
If all the properties of a synchronization object are initialized, including userids and passwords, it is ready for immediate use. To launch a synchronization requires very little coding, as in the following example for an MLsync object named “nvo_my_mlsync”:
nvu_my_mlsync mySync
Long rc
mySync = CREATE nvo_my_mlsync
mySync.Synchronize()
destroy mySync
You would typically add the above code to the Clicked event for a menu item or a command button on an application window.
Starts dbmlsync synchronization with command line parameters that are passed from the values of a syncparm structure.
MLSync controls
SyncObject.Synchronize (cmdstring )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
syncObject |
The name of the synchronization object. |
cmdstring |
A read-only string containing command line arguments for a synchronization call. |
Integer. Returns 1 for success and any other value for failure.
The following is an example of a command string for a Synchronize call:
C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 10\win32\ dbmlsync.exe
-c "DSN=salesdb_remote;UID=dba;PWD=sql" -n salesapi
-u 50 -mp "pw10" -wc salesapi_50_sync
-o "C:\temp\dbmlsync.log" -v+ -q -k
If the path to the dbmlsync executable (C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 10\win32\dbmlsync.exe in the above example) is not part of the command string, the application searches the Windows registry to find it.
SQL Anywhere 11
The path to dbmlsync.exe is changed for SQL Anywhere 11. It
is in the Program Files\SQL Anywhere 11\bin32 or Program
Files\SQL Anywhere 11\bin64 directory.
For MLSync objects, you can allow a user to edit the command line arguments for a synchronization call as follows:
long rc
string cmd
cmd = myMLSync.GetCommandString()
// Edit cmd however you wish
...
rc = myMLSync.Synchronize(cmd)
