Setting mEnable Manager's Server-Side File and Folder Location

By default, the mEnable Manager synchronizes handheld files and folders to a sub-folder of the mEnable server installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\SYWARE mEnable). But, you might want the server side files/folders to be in a different place. This can be done by putting an entry in the WCEODBC.INI file in the Windows folder of the mEnable server machine.

Using a text editor (such as notepad), open a file called WCEODBC.INI. This file is in the Windows folder of the mEnable server machine (usually C:\Windows\WCEODBC.ini). In that file, change:

    [VICEMNGR]

to:

    [VICEMNGR]
    mEnableRoot=C:\UserFolders

where C:\UserFolders is where the folders should be.

For example, say you had three handhelds:

    LARRY
    MOE
    CURLY

Normally, the file synchronization folders would be:

    C:\Program Files\SYWARE mEnable\LARRY
    C:\Program Files\SYWARE mEnable\MOE
    C:\Program Files\SYWARE mEnable\CURLY

If you make the change in the WCEODBC.INI file, the file synchronization folders would be:

    C:\UserFolders\LARRY
    C:\UserFolders\MOE
    C:\UserFolders\CURLY
