Exporting to Windows Mobile

The procedures for exporting to a handheld device and to a Windows Mobile emulator are equivalent since they both use Microsoft ActiveSync. To enable Active Sync for the emulator see Enable Microsoft Active Sync for the Windows Mobile Emulators

You do this by running the Mimer Administrator on your desktop as follows:

Note: When exporting to a handheld device, it must be connected to your workstation during the export procedure.

  1. Click the Mimer Administrator's Remote tab.


    Mimer Administrator - Remote databases

  2. Click the Add... button. The Remote Database Definition dialog box opens:


    Mimer Administrator - Creating a new remote database

  3. Enter a new database name and select protocol Rapi. Click OK.

    The following dialog box opens:


    Mimer Administrator - Create database?

  4. Click Yes when asked to create a database on your handheld device. The Local Database Definition dialog box opens:


    Mimer Administrator - Mobile database options

  5. Here, you can customize the Mimer SQL Mobile database server on your handheld device.

    Fields that are read-only, such as Create System Data Source above, are not available on a handheld device.

    Do not change the database name, as the name must be the same for the remote definition as for the local database on the handheld device. If you are unsure of values to enter, you can keep the database as is, by simply clicking OK.

    Click OK. The following dialog box opens:


    Create directory?

  6. Click Yes to create the directory that will store the database files on your handheld device. The following dialog box opens:


    Note database files found, export to device?

  7. Click Yes to start a wizard that will export the database you have prepared on your desktop. Just follow the instructions.
  8. The database is now listed on the Remote tab in the Mimer Administrator:


    Mimer Administrator - the new database is now available

    By right-clicking on the Remote database definition you can control the database server on your handheld device, perform new exports, and/or change the database properties.

Enabling Active Sync for the Windows Mobile Emulators

To use Mimer SQL Mobile in the Windows Mobile Emulators you must have Microsoft Active Sync 4.0 or later installed. Further more, you must enable connections to DMA in the "Connection Settings" dialog (found under File/Connection Settings..." in Active Sync).
