Sets the parameters to send to the MobiLink synchronization server.

SyncObject.SetParm (syncparm )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
syncObject |
The name of the synchronization object. |
syncparm |
A structure of type SyncParm containing property values that can be set as synchronization parameters. |
Integer. Returns 1 for success and -1 for failure.
The code fragment below creates an instance of an MLSync object and programmatically populates all of the necessary properties—as well as some optional properties—using an instance of the system SyncParm structure. Then it calls the Synchronize function to start the database synchronization.
SyncParm Parms
MLSync mySync
Long rc
mySync = CREATE MLSync
mySync.MLServerVersion = 9 // required property
mySync.Publication = 'salesapi '// required property
mySync.UseLogFile = TRUE // optional
mySync.LogFileName = "C:\temp\sync.log "// optional
mySync.Datasource = 'salesdb_remote '// required
Parms.MLUser = '50 '// required
Parms.MLPass = 'xyz123 '// required
//The following values are required if they are not
//set by the DSN
Parms.DBUser = 'dba '
Parms.DBPass = 'sql '
// Apply the property values to the sync object
mySync.SetParm(Parms)
// Launch the synchronization process
rc = mySync.Synchronize()
destroy mySync
Maintaining property settings in the MLSync object
Normally when you call SetParm(SyncParm)
from an MLSync object, you automatically override any authentication
values (AuthenticateParms, Datasource, DBUser, DBPass, EncryptionKey,
MLUser, and MLPass) that you set for properties of the MLSync object—even
when the value of a particular SyncParm property is an empty string.
However, if you call SetNull to set a particular
property of the SyncParm object to NULL before you call SetParm, the
property value in the MLSync object will be used instead.
