Synchronizing via ActiveSync

Rolf Knaden

2006-02-15, 3:24 am

Hello.
My application is built in Pocketbuilder 2.0.3 using an ul-database.
I would like to synchronize it via ActiveSync.
Is there any example of what I have to do in my application, in activesync,
on the server?
Thanks.

I'm confused about what you mean when you ask what you need to do in
activsync on the server. Once the stream is passed to the activesync
provider on the desktop from the device, it then passes it on to the
MobiLink Server using TCP/IP or HTTP[s]. You shouldn't need to do anything
"special" at the consolidated if you're using ActiveSync at the remote.

Please ALWAYS include version and MORE importantly BUILD number
with EACH post (dbeng9 -v).

There are a few references in the 902 Help file for this:

MobiLink Clients
UltraLite Clients
Synchronizing UltraLite databases on Windows CE
Registering applications for use with ActiveSync

UltraLite C/C++ User's Guide
Developing UltraLite Applications for Windows CE
Synchronization on Windows CE
Adding ActiveSync synchronization to your application

I suspect the first one might be closer to what you are looking for.

Then again a different approach (you can post to
sybase.public.pocketpowerbuilder) would be to tie this into PB. Let PB
be told the application is ActiveSyncing and let your PB code initiate
the sync. Not sure if that would work, but you can ask on the
PocketBuilder forum.

My product version shows "9.0.1 (1922)".

My Problem is, up to now I don't have very little knowlegde concerning
synchronisation matters.
My Application already existed and uses a ul-database, which is not
synchronized up to now.
Now I want to synchronize it!
I read the 901 help and succeeded in registrating a service in activesync,
which is acitvated each time, I connect my PPC.
The properties are:
name: Inventar
Class Name: Dialog (???)
File Location: \Programme\Conject\I
nventar\bsypdaobj.exe
Arguments: <empty>
But nothing happens. I don't know, what I have to do further on and whether
those things, I did, are right. From the help I don't understand, whether I
have to code something in my PPC-application or elsewhere.
So, if someone had an example, that would be very helpfull.

Sorry, I haven't made it back to this thread.
Have you gotten any further?
If so, what do you have so far.

Hi Rolf,

I am not very familiar with Pocketbuilder, I have an example written in
MFC that I could make available if that would help.

In brief, in order to use the Activesync provider for MobiLink your
application needs to have a custom "window class" and needs to trap a
custom "window message". When ActiveSync begins synchronizing and it
launches the provider for MobiLink, the provider will send a specific
window message to your application. It looks for you application using
the window class and will launch your application if it does not find
it. Your application needs to trap the window message and initiate
MobiLink synchronization. During this synchronization the
synchronization protocol (or stream type) needs to be set to "ActiveSync"
rather than tcp or http.

I have no idea how to accomplish the above in PocketBuilder so I am
cross-posting to the appropriate group.

PS: sorry for the delay in responding but I am on vacation right now.

PocketBuilder has all the window message trapping built into
an object that we provide.
Using MobiLink in PocketBuilder is much much easier than
in MFC.

For this customer to synchronize his data, I'd recommend running
through the PocketBuilder synchronization tutorial (one hour max)
and they would see the technique.
I'm sure there is just one step missing and the tutorial will
illuminate that.
