Starts synchronization between a remote and consolidated database. The syntax you use depends on whether you include command line parameters with the dbmlsync synchronization call.
Description
Starts synchronization between a remote and consolidated database.
Applies to
MLSynchronization, MLSync controls
Syntax
SyncObject.Synchronize ( )
Return value
Integer.
Returns 1 for success and -1 for failure. Any other return value is an error code from dbmlsync.
Examples
If all the properties of a synchronization object are initialized, including userids and passwords, it is ready for immediate use. To launch a synchronization requires very little coding, as in the following example for an MLsync object named "nvo_my_mlsync":
nvu_my_mlsync mySync Long rc mySync = CREATE nvo_my_mlsync mySync.Synchronize() destroy mySync
You would typically add the above code to the Clicked event for a menu item or a command button on an application window.
Description
Starts dbmlsync synchronization with command line parameters that are passed from the values of a syncparm structure.
Applies to
MLSync controls
Syntax
SyncObject.Synchronize (cmdstring )
|
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
|
syncObject |
The name of the synchronization object. |
|
cmdstring |
A read-only string containing command line arguments for a synchronization call. |
Return value
Integer.
Returns 1 for success and any other value for failure.
Usage
The following is an example of a command string for a Synchronize call:
C:\Program Files\SAP\SQL Anywhere 11\Bin32\ dbmlsync.exe -c "DSN=salesdb_remote;UID=dba;PWD=sql" -n salesapi -u 50 -mp "pw10" -wc salesapi_50_sync -o "C:\temp\dbmlsync.log" -v+ -q -k
If the path to the dbmlsync executable (C:\Program Files\SAP\SQL Anywhere 11\Bin32\dbmlsync.exe in the above example) is not part of the command string, the application searches the Windows registry to find it.
Examples
For MLSync objects, you can allow a user to edit the command line arguments for a synchronization call as follows:
long rc string cmd cmd = myMLSync.GetCommandString() // Edit cmd however you wish ... rc = myMLSync.Synchronize(cmd)
