Relay server   The relay server is a set of web extensions that enable secure, load-balanced communication between mobile devices and MobiLink, Afaria and OneBridge servers communicating through a web server. See Introduction to the Relay Server.

Sybase relay server hosting service    The Sybase relay server hosting service is a farm of relay servers hosted by Sybase. It is intended to ease the development of mobile applications that use MobiLink data synchronization and to simplify the evaluation process for developers, especially where data is sent using public wireless networks. See Sybase Relay Server hosting service.

MobiLink Server Farm   MobiLink servers may now be explicitly grouped into server farms of identical servers.

Redundant, concurrent synchronizations from the same remote ID are now automatically detected across the entire farm. This removes the need for a load balancer to keep sending the same remote ID to the same MobiLink server.

You can now configure each MobiLink server identically.

Failover is automatically supported for the Notifier and the QAnywhere connector. The farm automatically appoints a MobiLink server to run these, and will elect a new server to run them if the first appointee computer fails.

64-bit Platforms   MobiLink server is now fully 64-bit on several 64-bit platforms. For a list of the supported platforms 64-bit platforms, see  http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1002288.

New member for Java DownloadTableData interface   getLastDownloadTime method to return last download time for a table. See getLastDownloadTime method.

SQL passthrough   The SQL Passthrough feature allows you to download scripts of SQL statements from a consolidated database to a SQL Anywhere or UltraLite client, and have those SQL statements executed on the client at an appropriate time. See Introduction to SQL passthrough.

Info message listening   Java and .NET API methods have been added to register to receive notifications whenever an info line is printed to the log.

See:

• INFO variable
• addInfoListener method
• removeInfoListener method
• INFO field
• LogCallback InfoListener event

-cs option   MobiLink server system objects such as system tables, procedures, triggers, and views can now be stored in a database other than the consolidated database. The database that stores the MobiLink system objects is called the MobiLink System Database or MLSD.

Use -cs to specify connection parameters for your MLSD. See -cs option.

-lsc option   Specifies the local server connect information. This information is passed to other servers in the server farm. See -lsc option.

-ss option   Enables the MobiLink server to run in a server farm. See -ss option.

-tc option   Set the count down timer for SQL script execution. See -tc option.

-tf option   Fail the SQL script execution when the count down timer specified with -tc expires (not for Oracle). See -tf option.

Non-blocking download ACK scripts   See nonblocking_download_ack connection event and publication_nonblocking_download_ack connection event.

Redirector deprecated   The Redirector is deprecated. It has been replaced by the Relay Server. See The Relay Server.

New Relay Server   The relay server is a set of web extensions that enable secure, load-balanced communication between mobile devices and MobiLink, Afaria, and OneBridge servers communicating through a web server. See Introduction to the Relay Server.
