Restart a previously failed download.

Syntax

dbmlsync -dc ...

Remarks

By default, if MobiLink fails during a download it doesn't apply any of the download data to the remote database. However, it stores the part of the download it did receive in a temporary file on the remote device, so that if you specify -dc the next time you start dbmlsync, it can more quickly complete the download. When you specify -dc, dbmlsync restarts the download and attempts to download the part of the previous download that it did not receive. If it is able to download the remaining data, it applies the complete download to your remote database.

If there is any new data to be uploaded when you use -dc, the restartable download fails.

You can also restart a failed download using the ContinueDownload extended option or the sp_hook_dbmlsync_end hook.
