A synchronization subscription links a particular MobiLink user with a publication. It 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 in the MobiLink Synchronization for ASA
wizard.
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.
