Prerequisites

Before you use the IBM Sync application, you need to configure the IBM Sync application as described in Configuring IBM Sync for Palm OS.

Procedure

To synchronize data:

1. Start the mobile device.
2. Start the IBM Sync application. The system displays the main IBM Sync window.
3. Tap Synchronize. The synchronization begins. The panel will display the status and the progress of the synchronization. You can cancel a synchronization at any time by clicking the Cancel button. When the synchronization ends, the following messages will appear to indicate the synchronization succeeds, fails, or get cancelled respectively.
   • Synchronization succeeded
   • Synchronization failed
   • Synchronization cancelled

   If the synchronization fails, you can click the Log button to see the cause (error) of the failure. If the synchronization is successful, then you can go on to verify that the synchronized data is correct.
