Using message types

SQL Remote exchanges data among databases using an underlying message system. SQL Remote supports the following message systems:

• File sharing    A simple system requiring no extra software.

• FTP    Internet file transfer protocol.

• SMTP/POP    Internet email protocol.

• MAPI    Microsoft Messaging Application Programming Interface, used in Microsoft products and in cc:Mail release 8 and later.

• VIM    Vendor Independent Messaging, used in Lotus Notes and in some versions of Lotus cc:Mail.

  Note Support for VIM and MAPI is deprecated

A database can exchange messages using one or more of the available message systems.

Not all systems are supported on all operating systems. For a complete list of supported operating systems, see the SQL Remote for SQL Anywhere table in  SQL Anywhere 10.0.1 Components by Platform.
