Lesson 2: Setting up your MobiLink consolidated database

In this lesson, you create a database and define an ODBC data source.

Prérequis

This lesson assumes you have completed all preceding lessons. See Lesson 1: Setting up an XML data source.

This lesson assumes that you have the roles and privileges listed in the Privileges section at the start of this tutorial: Tutorial: Synchronizing with XML.

Contexte et remarques

Your MobiLink consolidated database is a central repository of data and includes MobiLink system tables and stored procedures used to manage the synchronization process. With direct row handling, you synchronize with a data source other than a consolidated database, but you still need a consolidated database to maintain information used by the MobiLink server.

Note

If you already have a MobiLink consolidated database set up with MobiLink system objects and a DSN, you can skip this lesson.
