Device Information

Access device information in the Devices tab of the Device Users node. View data on registered devices in order to manage and monitor device synchronization.

Select one of the following modes:
  • Unified – lists all registered replication- and messaging-based synchronization devices. This view presents key information including the current registration status of the device, the device synchronization mode, and when the device last connected with Unwired Server.
  • RBS – lists replication-based synchronization devices that are automatically registered when replication-based application users synchronize successfully with the server.
  • MBS – lists messaging-based synchronization devices that are currently registered either manually or using the public API (for bulk registration). This view allows the administrator to see messaging device status information that is useful for diagnostic purposes.
View the following device information, depending on the filter you choose:
Property Description Filter
Device ID The unique identifier attached to the device hardware of a registered device. In MBS mode, until the device is registered, the device ID remains empty string in MBS mode. In Unified or RBS mode, the device ID is MBS_<number>.

However, the permanent ID is not assigned until the device connects to Unwired Server. For example, after Windows Mobile 6 simulator connects to the Unwired Server, the assigns an permanent ID as Emulator324567336.

All
Device Platform The operating platform that the device uses. All
Device Type The type of device. For example, if the device model is a BlackBerry, the type is the form factor (for example, BlackBerry Bold). All
Registered Date The date of initial device registration. All
Last Connected The time at which the last communication took place between Unwired Server and the device. All
RBS Status The time at which the last communication took place between Unwired Server and the device. Unified and MBS
MBS Status The registration status of the device for messaging-based synchronization. Unified and RBS
Lock Status Locked or Unlocked. Synchronization is disabled in locked devices All
Activation User Name Tthe name of the user that activates the device. MBS
Status The current status of a device. The possible values are: Running, Suspended, Pending Activation, Online, Offline, and Expired.
Note: If the device connection is through Relay Server, the connection to Unwired Server remains open for up to 6 minutes after the device has dropped its connection to Relay Server. Thus, the Status column may incorrectly show that the device is online for up to 6 minutes after the device has disconnected.
MBS
Pending Items The pending items on the server side that needs to be sent to the device. The device must have connect to server at least once, before information in this column appears. MBS
Activation Code Expire The date the activation code expires on. MBS
Last Delivery The date and time of last item delivered from Unwired Server to the device. The device must have connect to server at least once, before information in this column appears. MBS
Client Version The Sybase Unwired Platform client runtime version of the client. The device must have connect to server at least once, before information in this column appears MBS
Node The cluster node on which the device is registered. MBS

These columns can be used to sort the data by clicking the column title.

Advanced MBS Properties

If the device type is MBS, toggle Advanced to show or hide these columns:
Property Description
Registered Date The date the device was registered.
Last Connected The date and time the device last connected.
RBS Status Whether the MBS device is also used for RBS synchronization.
Lock Status Whether the device has been locked.

These columns cannot be used to sort data.
