Hi all.
I have published a SQL Aniwhere 12 database to the Internet (by IP address and port number across a Firewall).
I have scripted a Sybase Powerbuilder application that try to connect via ODBC to this database.
When I try on my Notebook connected to the internet (e.g. with USB key and SIM module), my application works very fine.
So, I have scripted a Sybase PocketBuilder application for a windows mobile palm.
This palm have a SIM installed. I have created a GPRS connection on this device.
When I try to navigate to the internet (e.g. with I.E. mobile) all works fine, but my app don't works right: it seems that the connection requiest not automatically start the GPRS connection defined: I receive this Error message: "Database Server Not found".
When I open an internet page and immediately after I try to connect wiht my application, this works fine ...
Maybe there is an ODBC option to force a GPRS connection to start?
The problem is on Pocketbuilder app?
Why on pc notebook works and on palm device not?
Thanks in advance.
P.S
I finally found the solution by making permanent the GPRS connection: ther's a registry key on Windows mobile to do this: AlwaysOn = 1.
The key is in HKLM \ Comm \ ConnMgr \ Providers \ .. cl-id_provider_here {...} \ Connections \ ...GPRSConnectionNameHere ...
Number value AlwaysOn Set the value to 1 (from 0).
But I don't like this solution very well...
