A server-initiated remote task is any remote task that is run when the Agent receives notification from the server to run the task. When an administrator chooses to initiate a remote task, the MobiLink server sends a message to the affected Agents instructing them to run the specified task. A task might already be scheduled to run at a particular time, however, it could still be a server-initiated if the administrator chooses to do so.

A SIRT can be initiated through Sybase Central by choosing Initiate for a particular Agent or Initiate For All Recipients on a deployed task. A SIRT can also be initiated using the ml_ra_notify_task system procedure on the MobiLink server.
