Replacement for Mobilink

Hi All,

I received a message from my director telling me to research
Sybase's replacement for mobilink. He had talked to someone
at Sybase and was told that mobilink was going away and was
to be replaced by some product.

Any idea what the product is and where I can find
information about it?

Thanks,

xyz

MobiLink is not being replaced or end-of-lifed.

The only news I can imagine your director hearing was the End of Life
notification for SQL Remote for ASE. The migration path is to move to
MobiLink, which may have lead to the misunderstanding. Here's the link to
the SQL Remote for ASE end of life announcement
http://www.ianywhere.com/developer/...emote_ase.html. The full list
of end of life announcements we've made can be found at
http://www.ianywhere.com/developer/eol/index.html, and you'll see there's no
reference to MobiLink being replaced or end of lifed.

Hi Reg,

I wonder if they were talking to him about unwired
accelerator?

Not sure what the sales pitch for that is, but it seems to
be the only thing in the ball park as far as listed products
go.

The Unwired Accelerator is built upon M-Business Anywhere and allows you to
rapidly move current WEB-BASED applications to work on hand-held devices,
regardless of whether you are currently connected or not. While similar to
MobiLink, it is by no means meant as a replacement.

Actually, to be technically correct UA is not related (technically) to
mBus in any way. We bundle the two products together in some solutions,
but they are entirely distinct products.

UA is a "portal server" (formerly known as Sybase Enterprise Portal) and
is essentially a Java Servlet application for repurposing web and
database content (think XSLT transformations on data coming in as HTML,
XML and/or database result sets).

But xyz, I think you should find out more details about what it is your
boss is asking about. MobiLink is in NO WAY disappearing. It grows
with each and every release.

What Sybase/iAnywhere technologies does your company have in use currently?
