Synchronization Server Help


Mapping the source to the target

You will need to specify the source and target file names.

The source file must be available for selection from the mid-tier system where you invoke the Mobile Devices Administration Center. Thus, before you define the subscription, either connect to the source system where the file is stored or copy the file from the source system to the mid-tier system. If your synchronization setup has only 2 tiers, the file is likely already on the system where you invoke the Mobile Devices Administration Center.

Because Palm OS mobile devices store the file name within the file itself, the Target filename field is ignored.

These steps are part of the larger task of creating a file subscription. When you complete the steps for mapping the source to the target, return to creating a file subscription.

To specify the name of the source file:

In the Source filename field of the Identification page of the Create File Subscription notebook, type the name of the source file on the source system. Click the Figure dsyh024 not displayed. push button to browse for a file.

After you create the file subscription, a copy of the file that you specify here is stored to ensure integrity of the subscription in case anything happens to the file. If you update the file, you must flag the source file to be replicated again to each of the subscribed users. See Changing a file referenced in a subscription for more information.

In the Target filename field of the Identification page of the Create File Subscription notebook, type the name of the target file on the target system.
