iAnywhere.com - Deploying UltraLite for MobileVB applications to Palm OS

You must carry out the following steps to deploy an UltraLite application to a Palm OS device:

Deploy your application and UltraLite component.
1. Configure the application settings.
  - From the MobileVB menu, choose MobileVB Settings. A dialog appears.
  - In the left pane, choose Dependencies and click the User Dependencies tab.
  - Click the Add button and select the c:\tutorial\mvb\tutCustomer.pdb. This indicates to MobileVB that the file should be included in the deployment.
  - Choose the Palm OS Settings item in the left pane and enter the creator ID of your application. Choose a valid HotSync name. Click OK to close the dialog.
2. From the MobileVB menu, choose Deploy to Device, and choose the Palm OS device. If a dialog appears asking if you want to save the project, click Yes.
Deploy an initial UltraLite database.

In many situations it is sufficient to deploy an UltraLite database file. You can then use synchronization to load data.

You can create .pdb files for deployment to Palm OS using UltraLite utilities sych as ulcreate, ulload, and ulinit.

You must supply a database using the correct creator ID, so that it can be located by your application. The DatabaseOnPalm connection parameter uses the creator ID to find the database.

See UltraLite PALM_FILE connection parameter.
Deploy the MobiLink synchronization conduit for HotSync.

This step is required only if the application is synchronizing using HotSync.
