Setting protocol options for MobiLink synchronization

Protocol options describe the connection from the UltraLite HotSync conduit to the MobiLink server. Typically you would add this information as part of the application's synchronization code. However, you can also enter the required parameters from HotSync, or even ulcond11.

If you are using the ul_synch_info structure, the argument has the following form:

stream=name;parameters

stream=name indicates the type of network protocol. The default value for the stream=name is TCPIP.

parameters is a set of network protocol options for use by the conduit, and has the same form as the stream_parms argument for the protocol in use. For the given stream, the parameters adopts the same defaults as the stream_parms argument for the protocol.

Note

If you do not supply protocol options, the conduit searches in the registry for the protocol name and protocol options that you may have also supplied when you ran ulcond11.

If HotSync finds no valid network protocol, the default protocol and protocol options are used. This default stream parameter setting is:

stream=tcpip;host=localhost
