Mobilink error with Syncing to Production Oracle DB Options

Question

Ok so here is the scenario. We have two developers using the developer edition of Mobilink to sync to a consolidated Oracle DataBase using SqlAnywhere. The mobilink Version is Version 11.0.1.2331

Everything works fine in the two development environments.
One dev environment is Windows 7 x64 and Oracle 11g r1. The other is xp x86 and Oracle 10gr2. Both work fine and are syncing with a replica of the production database(took a dump file from the production server). We are now in a beta state and are trying to set up the synchronization and it keeps failing. The beta environment is using "SQL Anywhere MobiLink Server Version 11.0.1.2044" and is running on Windows 2003 x64. Looking at the error log on the PDA and the Server confirms that the user is getting authenticated and that the synchronization is starting but it breaks at the same point each time. Below are some additional details from the log.

Answer 1

I suspect you've run into a problem with --{ml_ignore} scripts that was fixed in v11.0.1 build 2260.

================(Build #2260  - Engineering Case #577142)================

The MobiLink server would not have skipped a script that was defined to be
ignored, if the script contained white space (spaces, tabs, and/or line-breaks)
before the special prefix, '--{ml_ignore}'.  This problem is fixed now.

I strongly suspect that if you upgrade your beta environment to the same build as your development environment, that this problem will go away.
