Running the Contact sample

The Contact sample includes batch files that perform initial synchronizations and illustrate MobiLink server and dbmlsync command lines. You can examine the contents of the following batch files, located in samples-dir\MobiLink\Contact, in a text editor:

 To run the Contact sample

  1. Start the MobiLink server.

    1. At a command prompt, navigate to samples-dir\MobiLink\Contact.

    2. Run the following command:

      step1

      This command runs a batch file that starts the MobiLink server in a verbose mode. This mode is useful during development or troubleshooting, but has a significant performance impact and so would not be used in a routine production environment.

  2. Synchronize both remote databases.

    1. At a command prompt, navigate to samples-dir\MobiLink\Contact.

    2. Run the following command:

      step2

      This is a batch file that synchronizes both remote databases.

  3. Shut down the MobiLink server.

    1. At a command prompt, navigate to samples-dir\MobiLink\Contact.

    2. Run the following command:

      step3

      This is a batch file that shuts down the MobiLink server.

To explore how synchronization works in the Contact sample, you can use Interactive SQL to modify the data in the remote and consolidated databases, and use the batch files to synchronize.
