Modeling a MobiLink Synchronization Definition

You can model a MobiLink synchronization by creating each synchronization object individually or you can use the Replication Wizard.

For detailed information about creating ILM objects, see Building Information Liquidity Diagrams.

The Replication Wizard guides you through the creation of a basic model containing a consolidated database that is synchronized with a remote database through a Mobilink server, and which manages at least one publication, a subscription and articles representing replicated data.

In order to model a MobiLink synchronization definition in PowerDesigner we recommend that you:

  1. Identify your source databases to reverse engineer, or create a PDM to represent its structure.
  2. Create an ILM and launch the Replication Wizard to create a basic synchronization of your databases through a MobiLink server (see Creating a MobiLink synchronization with the Replication Wizard).
  3. Specify Mobilink options for the Mobilink server (see MobiLink server properties), remote database (see MobiLink remote database properties), subscription (see MobiLink subscription properties), articles (see MobiLink article properties), and connection and table scripts (MobiLink connection script/table script properties).
  4. [optional] Specify any other necessary synchronization objects, such as additional remote databases, articles, and so on (see Building Information Liquidity Diagrams).
  5. Generate your MobiLink synchronization definition (see Generating for MobiLink).
