To use a SQL Anywhere database as a MobiLink client, you add synchronization objects to the database. The objects you need to add are publications, MobiLink users, and subscriptions that connect publications to users. See:

• Creating a remote database
• Publishing data
• Creating MobiLink users
• Creating synchronization subscriptions

Synchronization is initiated by running a command line utility called dbmlsync. This utility connects to the remote database and prepares the upload, typically using information contained in the transaction log of the remote database. (Alternatively, you can implement scripted upload and not use the transaction log.) The dbmlsync utility can use information stored in a synchronization publication and synchronization subscription to connect to the MobiLink server and exchange data.

See Initiating synchronization.

For details of dbmlsync command line options, see MobiLink SQL Anywhere client utility [dbmlsync].
