Synchronizing data with MobiLink

Chapter 11 Working with MobiLink

Here is the proper sequence to follow in order to replicate data with MobiLink:

Prepare one or several Physical Data Models (PDM) corresponding to the consolidated databases of your system. You can also reverse engineer existing databases to create PDMs using the File→Reverse Engineer→Database command from the menu bar
Create an Information Liquidity Model (ILM) using the MobiLink 9.0 and MobiLink 10.0 extended model definition (XEM)
Create a MobiLink replication process in the diagram using the MobiLink tool in the tool palette
Define the consolidated database, the tables you want to synchronize and the remote database using the Replication Wizard command from the MobiLink replication process contextual menu
Define MobiLink options using the MobiLink Options tab in the property sheet of the MobiLink replication process
Define connection scripts using the Connection Scripts tab in the property sheet of the MobiLink replication process
Define download and upload options and table scripts for each article within a publication using the corresponding tabs in the property sheet of the article
Update the consolidated database PDM to add necessary columns, shadow tables, triggers and stored procedures using the Update Consolidated Database PDM command from its contextual menu
Generate or modify the consolidated database
Update the remote database PDM to add or modify tables based on the definition of articles
Generate or modify the remote database
Generate synchronization scripts
Register MobiLink synchronization users
