Mapping the source to the target

The source database is the database serving as the source for data replication.

The target database is the database on the 모빌 디바이스 receiving replicated data from a source system.

This task is part of the larger task of creating a DataPropagator subscription. When you have completed these steps, return to Creating a DataPropagator subscription.

Procedure

To map the source database on the enterprise system to its target database on the 모빌 디바이스, provide information in the following fields on the Identification page of the Create DataPropagator subscription notebook:

Source database

The source database must be cataloged. Choose a name from a list of cataloged databases by clicking the push button.

Target database

This field automatically defaults to the name that you typed in the Source database field. You can override this target database name only if this is the first subscription defined against this source database.

This field does not apply to devices running Palm OS, because that operating system does not use a traditional database structure.
