Update Schema Wizard: Consolidated Database Schema page

You must connect to the database that will be the consolidated database in your MobiLink application so the wizard can obtain schema information for it.

This page has the following components:

Choose a consolidated database   Click to choose a consolidated database to provide the schema information for the consolidated database in the synchronization model.

The Connect window appears. Specify the connection information for the consolidated database.

Note

If the specified database is not set up as a MobiLink consolidated database, you are prompted to install MobiLink system setup.

  • Click Yes to immediately install the MobiLink system setup scripts to the consolidated database.

    For example, click Yes if you intend to deploy the synchronization model to the specified consolidated database.

  • Click No to not install the MobiLink setup scripts to the specified consolidated database.

    For example, click No:

    • If you only intend to use the specified consolidated database to obtain a schema and you have no intention of deploying to it.

    • If you intend to deploy the synchronization model to the specified consolidated database, but prefer to do so with the Deploy Synchronization Model wizard.

    • If you prefer to run the setup scripts yourself after you deploy.

With the exception of the installation of the MobiLink system setup, no other changes are made to the consolidated database until you deploy your model. See Setting up a consolidated database.

The following fields are blank until you specify a consolidated database, and then they are updated to show the information for the specified consolidated database.

Name   Shows the name of the consolidated database.

User   Shows the user ID of the user connected to the consolidated database.

Product   Shows the name of the product the consolidated database is from. For example, SQL Anywhere.
