Adding subscriptions

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.

NoteOverriding 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 ASA remote databases. Server logic is implemented through synchronization scripts, stored in the MobiLink system tables in the consolidated database.

A single ASA database can synchronize with more than one MobiLink synchronization server. To allow synchronization with multiple servers, create different subscriptions for each server.
