Chapter 2 Working with Palm Handheld 

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the beaming 

procedure 

2.Installing Content Databases Using HotSync 

The HotSync method requires two steps: a) placing the database on the desktop 
computer; b) using HotSync to copy the database from the computer to other Palm 
Powered devices. 

1. 

Placing a Content Database on a Desktop Computer 

Before you can distribute content using the HotSync method, you must place the 
content database stored on your Palm Powered device on you desktop. 
To place the content database on your desktop computer: 

1. After you have created content database(s),performs a HotSync. The 

HotSync procedure will copy content database(s) into your Backups 
folder within the Palm folder (i.e. Palm folder >Users 
>YourPalmUserName >Backups) on your desktop machine 

2. Locate this fi le,(e.g.,database1.pdb) and copy it to an appropriate 

location on your desktop computer (e.g. Content Databases folder) 
for later use 

2. 

Using HotSync to Install Content Databases 

To install one or more content databases stored on a desktop computer: 

1. Locate the content database you wish to install (e.g.,database1.pdb). 

2. Double-click on that file name to open the Install Handheld Files 

Window of the HotSync Manager, or launch the Palm HotSync 
Manager and select Install Handheld files from the HotSync menu 

3. Drag all the databases you wish to install into the Install Handheld 

Files window 

4. HotSync your Palm Powered device 

The content database is now on your Palm and will be merged when you launch the 
ImagiProbe application 

2.6.3. 

Merging Content Databases into ImagiProbe 3.0 

Before you can use a content database installed on a Palm powered device, you 
must merge that database into the ImagiProbe application. This will happen 
automatically when you open the application. 
After you merge a content database, the ImagiProbe application will remove the 
content database from the Palm Powered device. If you do not install the content 
database, it will remain on the Palm device and the ImagiProbe application will 
prompt you to merge the database each time you open it. 
Delete the content database if you no longer need it. 
After installing a content database by beaming or HotSync: 

1. Open the ImagiProbe application 

2. Choose 

Merge
