To use a SQL Anywhere database as a MobiLink client, you add synchronization objects to the database. The objects you need to add are publications, MobiLink users, and subscriptions that connect publications to users. See:

• Creating a remote database
• Publications
• Creating MobiLink users
• Synchronization subscription creation

Synchronization can be initiated using the Dbmlsync API, the SQL SYNCHRONIZE statement or the dbmlsync command line utility. Most synchronizations use data read from the database transaction log, however, a transaction log file is not required for scripted-upload synchronization and synchronization of download-only publications.

See Synchronization initiation.
