Specifies the type of network protocol to use for connecting to the MobiLink server.

Syntax

ctp=network-protocol; ...

Remarks

network-protocol can be one of tcpip, tls, http, or https. The default is tcpip.

You must ensure that all subscriptions for a MobiLink user are synchronized to only one consolidated database. Otherwise, you may experience data loss and unpredictable behavior.

This option has a short form and long form: you can use ctp or CommunicationType.

• CommunicationAddress (adr) extended option

Example

The following dbmlsync command line illustrates how you can set this option when you start dbmlsync:

dbmlsync -e "ctp=https"

To store the CommunicationType in the database, you can use an extended option or you can use the TYPE clause. For example,

CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION
   TO sales_publication
   FOR ml_user1
   TYPE 'tcpip'
