Synchronizing and verifying data on a Palm OS mobile device or emulator

This task is part of the main task of Setting up a Palm OS mobile device for synchronization. After you complete these steps, return to Setting up a Palm OS mobile device for synchronization.

Procedure

To synchronize and verify your synchronization:

  1. Start the Sync Server. For Windows, click Start -> Programs -> DB2 Everyplace -> Start Servlet for Sync Server from the Start menu. On UNIX, login as the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server instance owner and change directory to $DSYINSTDIR/Server/bin and execute dsysync.sh

    To verify that the Sync Server is running, go to http://127.0.0.1:<port>/db2e/db2erdb and ensure that you see the following message: 

    DB2eSyncServer<datetime string>
    Note:
    Replace the port with the actual port of the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server.
  2. Start the mobile device or emulator.
  3. Click IBM Sync.
  4. Click Synchronize. The synchronization begins. You can stop a synchronization at any time by clicking the Cancel button. When the synchronization ends, one of the following messages will appear as the final synchronization status:
  5. When the Palm OS emulator or device displays the message Synchronization succeeded, open QBE.
  6. Specify a user name and password.
  7. Click the Select Table menu and select the VNMEDICALRECORD table. The contents of the table show on the screen.
  8. Open the Mobile Devices Administration Center and DB2 Control Center. For Windows, select Start -> Programs -> IBM DB2 Everyplace -> Start Mobile Devices Administration Center.

    For UNIX, login as the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server instance owner and change the directory to $HOME/db2everyplace81/Server/bin and execute dsyadmin.sh.

  9. Expand the object tree in the DB2 Control Center until you see the VNURSE database. Select the Tables folder of the VNURSE database to show the VNURSE tables.
  10. Right-click the VNMEDICALRECORD table and select Sample Contents from the menu.
  11. Compare the contents of the table on the Palm OS emulator or device to the sample contents of the table in the DB2 Control Center.

You have successfully synchronized data between your mobile device and DB2 Everyplace Sync Server.
