ASA as remote ML client to MSSQL consolidated

I'm looking for information/whitepapers/help files, etc. on how to set up an
ASA 9.0.2 database to be a remote mobilink client to a MS SQL Server
consolidated database.

Maybe this is much easier that I'm making it out to be. I don't think I
have any problems setting up scripts, sync users, etc. It's more the
initializing of the sync. Is it as simple as starting the ML server
pointing to the (already set up) SQL consolidated and then calling dbmlsync
with the ASA database as the client?

I'm just trying to get a clear picture of the details. Thanks for any
information.

It's as simple as you describe. The whitepaper we have online at
http://www.ianywhere.com/whitepaper...lservertut.html called "MobiLink
Synchronization with Microsoft SQL Server and Adaptive Server Anywhere in 30
Minutes" is probably very close to what you're looking for.

We are facing the same problem hence replying to the
response. We have gone through the document. It describes
how to configure the mobilink server and client on the same
machine but does not explain the configuration when the
server and client reside on different machines. Please let
us know if they are some additional configurations to be
done. At present we are getting "Unable to initialize tcp\ip
network layer" error when we try to connect to mobilink
server from a remote client

You need to specify the host name or IP address of the computer running
the MobiLink server as the "host" connection parameter. See:

MobiLink Clients
MobiLink Client Network Protocol Options
Protocol options
host

However the message you are getting suggests that your remote computer
is not connected to a network, and you will need to fix that first. Make
sure that the remote computer can connect to the ML server computer,
using ping or a web browser.

In the latter case you can use the host name and port for the ML server
in the web browser, and then check for a sync request with error in the
MobiLink console. If that doesn't work then you have network problems
independent of MobiLink.

Cheers,

Graham
