MobiLink server

Following is a list of enhancements to the MobiLink server introduced in SQL Anywhere version 12.0.1.

Automatic adjustment of database worker threads The MobiLink server can now automatically adjust the number of database worker threads to maximize throughput. See -wm mlsrv12 option.
New named system parameters The following new named system parameters have been added to MobiLink so that scripts can identify a new remote ID or user name:
- new_remote_id This new system parameter indicates a new remote ID and is available in the authenticate_user and begin_synchronization connection scripts, and the begin_synchronization table script.
- new_username This new system parameter indicates a new user name and is available in the authenticate_user and begin_synchronization connection scripts, and the begin_synchronization table script.
For more information, see:
bigtime and bigdatetime data types added to support ASE 15.5 These data types should be mapped to TIME and TIMESTAMP respectively in SQL Anywhere and UltraLite. See Adaptive Server Enterprise data mapping.
Maximum length for authentication parameters has been extended Each MobiLink authentication parameter can be up to 4000 bytes long. The previous limit was 128 bytes. See Authentication parameters.

New -wm option to enable automatic adjustment of database worker threads The -wm mslrv12 option has been added. Use the -wm option to set the maximum number of database worker threads, allowing the MobiLink server to automatically choose the optimal number of database worker threads. See -wm mlsrv12 option.
The -cmax, -cmin and -cinit options now support using percentage for the size parameter The size parameter for the -cmax, -cmin, and -cinit server options can now be specified as a percentage. See -cmax mlsrv12 option, -cmin mlsrv12 option, and -cinit mlsrv12 option.
New log_bad_request parameter for -x mlsrv12 option The -x mlsrv12 option now supports the log_bad_request option for HTTP, HTTPS, and OE. When set to yes, the MobiLink server prints an error if it receives an incomplete or unexpected HTTP request. See -x mlsrv12 option.
DER encoded keys are now supported for end-to-end encryption The e2ee_private_key option for the -x mlsrv12 server option now supports both PEM and DER encoded keys.

Following is a list of enhancements to the MobiLink central administration of remote databases feature introduced in SQL Anywhere version 12.0.1.

New variables for task conditions The MobiLink Agent for central administration of remote databases now supports two new variables for task conditions. They are: {is_online} and {network_conn_name}. The variable {is_online} can be used to check whether the client device is connected to a network on which the MobiLink server of the agent can be reached. The variable {network_conn_name} evaluates to the name of the network connection that is used by the Agent for communication with its MobiLink server. See Variables in parameters.
New support for random delay of task execution A remote task can now have a random delay interval, which is an interval set in seconds. Each Agent uses the interval to generate a random number of seconds to delay each task execution. See Remote tasks.
The MobiLink Agent for central administration of remote databases can now be configured interactively The MobiLink Agent can now be configured interactively on a remote device through a series of configuration windows.
