Resubscribing to Channels

You test your content update procedures by deleting and resubscribing to your mobile channel. However, the system does not properly route you through the download sequence.

Cause

If you choose to delete and resubscribe to the same channel, Mobile Channels does not properly clean up the channel until you subscribe to another mobile channel first.

Resolution

The recommended way to test content updates is to right-click the mobile channel in the Channel Bar in Internet Explorer 4.0 and choose Update Now. If you must delete and resubscribe to your mobile channel, subscribe to a different mobile channel first, thus forcing Mobile Channels to perform cleanup. Resubscribing to your original mobile channel then initiates the expected download sequence.
