Lesson 7: Starting the MobiLink Monitor

This lesson assumes you have completed all preceding lessons. See Lesson 1: Setting up a MobiLink consolidated database.

In this lesson, you start and configure the MobiLink Monitor to see synchronizations as they occur.

The MobiLink Monitor can be used to collect statistical information about synchronizations. The graphical chart shows tasks on the vertical axis against the progression of time on the horizontal axis. You can quickly identify synchronizations that result in errors or satisfy certain conditions using the MobiLink Monitor. Since the MobiLink Monitor does not significantly degrade performance, it is recommended for both development and production environments.

 Configure the MobiLink Monitor to detect update conflicts
  1. Click Start » Programs » SQL Anywhere 12 » Administration Tools » MobiLink Monitor.

    The Connect to MobiLink Server window appears.

  2. Connect the MobiLink Monitor to the MobiLink server.

    In the User field, type monitor_user, and click OK.

    This user is added automatically because you started the MobiLink server with the -zu+ option in a previous lesson.

  3. Proceed to Lesson 8: Synchronizing.
