Checking MobiLink system setup

You must add objects such as tables, columns, and triggers that are required for synchronization before you can use a database as a MobiLink consolidated database. You add these objects by running a setup script against the database. There is a separate setup script for each supported RDBMS. These scripts are all located in the install-dir\MobiLink\setup folder. You can verify exactly what the script does by opening it in a text editor.

When you add a consolidated database to your MobiLink project, it checks the MobiLink system setup. If it is missing, you are prompted to install the MobiLink system setup, or you can install it later. You may also be prompted to upgrade if the check found an older version. You are also prompted to install the MobiLink system setup when you deploy a synchronization model, if you have not already done so.

 To check MobiLink system setup
  1. Ensure the MobiLink project you are working with is selected in the Folders view in the left pane, then right-click the consolidated database you want to check and choose Check MobiLink System Setup.

  2. If setup is not already installed or is not up to date, click Yes to install it or update it, then click OK. You may also be prompted to upgrade if the check found an earlier version.
