Setting up the DB2 Everyplace Update Tool on the Sync Server

Before you install and run the DB2 Everyplace Update Tool, you need to modify the DSYDeploy.properties file on your server. This properties file tells the server where to locate the updates that are being sent to a client device.

This task is part of the main task of Updating Sync Client software using the DB2 Everyplace Update Tool. After you complete these steps, return to Updating Sync Client software using the DB2 Everyplace Update Tool.

Restrictions

You must have the DB2 Everyplace Synchronization Server Version 8.1 or later to use the update tool.

Procedure

  1. Open the DSYDeploy.properties file from DB2e -> Server -> properties -> com -> ibm -> mobileservices.
  2. Locate the entry for the type of mobile device that you are updating. For example, 
    Palm.M68.prc.syncserver=
  3. Update the entry to point to the directory where the file is located on the server. For example, 

    Palm.M68.prc.syncserver=c:\db2everyplace\Clients\PalmOS\Sync\upgrade\

    iUpdate will send all the files with the .prc extension in this directory to the device.

  4. Save your changes.
