TCPIP connection to PPC?

Hi again,

Reading through the newsgroups I see multiple references to connecting
directly using TCPIP from Pocketpc devices to a mobilink server. I ahve
been unable to find any reference to this in the documentation. The
"synchronizing ultralite databases on Windows CE" chapter of the
mobilink manual only mentions using Activesync, which is my case is
utterly failing.
Please help!

As you have discovered, ActiveSync sucks :)

=====
MobiLink Clients
UltraLite Synchronization Parameters
Network protocol options for UltraLite synchronization clients
TCP/IP protocol options
The TCP/IP synchronization stream is accessible from all UltraLite
interfaces.

Sorry Breck, "Activesync sucks" is really not helpful. The path you
provide into the documentation talks about the TCP/IP protocol, but this
does not help me to establish a TCP/IP connection with my server. Please
indicate how to use TCP/IP to connect to the mobilink server from a PPC.
Thank you.

Almost everywhere in the Help that it talks about ActiveSync from
UltraLite, it also talks about TCP/IP.

Try a Help "Search" on

ultralite tcp

Also search on "tcp" in the various samples folders

C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\Samples\UltraLite*

From Ultralite application normaly you give a menu option to start
tcp/ipsync (NOT activesync) from pocket pc
a typical menu handler which invokes the sync will look like this

CustDB example shows this.....

bool CDemoDB::Synchronize
( ul_synch_observer_fn
observer )
/ ********************
********************
****************/
{
ul_synch_info info;

resetError( TEXT("Synchronize") );

// Perform synchronization.
// If this method is called on a separate thread, the main thread
// _cannot_ access the sqlca during the synchronization.
// To permit this (database operations on the main thread during
// synchronization), initialize another ULData for the synchronize
// thread here and open a second connection.
if( m_Stream == NULL ) {
return( false );
}
m_Connection.InitSynchInfo( &info );
info.user_name = m_EmpIDStr;
info.version = SCRIPT_VERSION;
info.stream = m_Stream;
info.stream_parms = m_SynchParms;
info.observer = observer;
info.user_data = &sqlca;
info.send_download_ack = ul_true;
m_Connection.Synchronize( &info );
if( !m_Connection.LastCodeOK() ) {
// Application UI will display alert in this case.
RECORD_ERROR_NO_ALER
T();
return( false );
}
CHECK_WARN();
notifyOrderListChang
e();
notifyCustListChange
();
notifyProdListChange
();
skipToValidOrder();
return( true );
