Upgrading MobiLink

• New MobiLink clients are incompatible with versions of the MobiLink server before 10.0.0.

• The version 10 MobiLink server can be used with clients that are version 8, 9, or 10. To use version 10 clients, start the MobiLink server with the -x option. To use version 8 or 9 clients, start the MobiLink server with the -xo option. If you need to support earlier clients, you should keep an earlier version of the MobiLink server to support them.

• Confirm that none of the documented behavior changes affect your application. If they do, you must update your application accordingly. See SQL Anywhere® 10 - Changes and Upgrading.

If you are upgrading an existing MobiLink installation, you must upgrade the components in the following order:

1. Shut down the MobiLink server.

2. Upgrade the consolidated database.

   See Upgrading your consolidated database.

3. Upgrade the MobiLink server.

   See Upgrading the MobiLink server.

4. Start the MobiLink server.

5. Upgrade the MobiLink clients.

   For information about SQL Anywhere remote databases, see Upgrading SQL Anywhere MobiLink clients. For information on UltraLite applications, see Porting pre-10.0.0 UltraLite application code to version 10.0.1.

Before upgrading, check for behavior changes that may affect you and carry out standard upgrade precautions.
