Configure Unwired Server properties only from the Administration Console or by editing the sup.properties file.
Problem: Do not modify Unwired Server settings by editing the configure-sup.xml file. Doing so can cause unforseen problems, such as losing configuration information after upgrading.
Solution: Perform configuration tasks directly from the Sybase Control Center (SCC) Administration Console whenever possible, or by editing the sup.properties file, if the configuration property is not available from SCC.
For example, change the default synchronization protocol used by Unwired Server from HTTP to HTTPS by modifying the sup.sync.protocol entry in the sup.properties file to sup.sync.protocol=https.
If you modify the sup.properties file directly, you must run the command updateProps.bat -r for your changes to take effect.
The -r flag indicates the values from the sup.properties file are applied to clusterdb (which is the actual location from which Unwired Server values are retrieved, not directly from sup.properties). If you do not run updateProps.bat -r, before restarting Unwired Server, old property values are retrieved from clusterdb and these values overwrite the changes you made to sup.properties.
Make a back-up copy of sup.properties before making any changes to it.
