MLSyncrhonization, MLSync controls

Syntax

syncObject.GetSyncRegistryProperties ( )

Argument

Description

syncObject

The name of the synchronization object.

Returns

Integer. Returns 1 for success and -1 for failure. Failure occurs if SyncRegistryKey property is not set or if the key does not exist in the Windows registry.

Usage

The GetSyncRegistryProperties function sets synchronization object properties from values stored in the registry. The properties it can set include: AdditionalOpts, DownloadOnly, ExtendedOpts, Host, LogFileName, LogOpts, MLServerVersion, MLUser, ObjectRevision, Port, Publication, UploadOnly, UseLogFile, and UseWindow.

It cannot set secured properties such as AuthenticateParms, DBPass, and EncryptionKey that are never saved to the Windows registry.

Examples

Example 1

The MLSync object generated by the MobiLink wizard for SQL Anywhere uses the following code in its Constructor event:

long		rc

long		RegistryRevision

RegistryRevision =this.GetObjectRevisionFromRegistry()

IF RegistryRevision < this.ObjectRevision THEN

    rc = this.SetSyncRegistryProperties()

ELSE

   rc = this.GetSyncRegistryProperties()

END IF		

This code gets the values of authentication properties stored in the Windows registry only if the build number stored in the registry is higher than the build number of the running application.
