Using Sybase Central to work with message types

You can create and alter message types in Sybase Central. Message types appear on the Message Types tab in the right pane when the SQL Remote Users folder is selected. This section applies only to SQL Anywhere databases.

You must have DBA authority to create and alter message types.

To add a message type (Sybase Central)

  1. Connect to a database.

  2. In the left pane, open the SQL Remote Users folder for that database.

  3. In the right pane, click the Message Types tab.

  4. From the File menu, choose New » Message Type.

    The Create SQL Remote Message Type Wizard appears.

  5. In the Create SQL Remote Message Type Wizard, enter a message type name. The name should correspond to a message-type DLL already installed in your SQL Anywhere installation directory. Click Next.

  6. Enter a publisher address and click Finish to save the definition in the database.

If you want to change the publisher's address, you can do so by altering a message type. You cannot change the name of an existing message type; instead, you must delete it and create a new message type with the new name.

Creating message types for Windows Mobile

If you have Windows Mobile services installed, you have an option to set up SQL Remote for ActiveSync synchronization from Sybase Central. This sets your folder for FILE message link messages to be the ActiveSync folder. When you dock your Windows Mobile device to your desktop computer, ActiveSync keeps the files in your desktop computer's ActiveSync folder synchronized with those in the Windows Mobile ActiveSync folder. You can access the utility to set up SQL Remote ActiveSync synchronization by choosing Tools » SQL Anywhere 11 » Edit Windows Mobile Message Type.
