About Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform

Sybase Control Center provides a single comprehensive Web administration console to configure and manage Sybase products and their components.

Sybase Control Center combines a modular architecture, a rich administrative console, agents, common services, and tools for managing and controlling Sybase products. Unwired Platform is one of many Sybase products that use Sybase Control Center as it's management and administrative tool.

As part of an Unwired Platform installation, Sybase Control Center can be used in three ways:

In a personal development environment, developers may act as administrators to set up a personal testing environment. Development administrators use Sybase Control Center to deploy and configure packages, register messaging devices, and so on. No other additional configuration or administration may be required.
In a distributed or shared development environment, administrators use Sybase Control Center to set up an Unwired Server, manage packages, manage devices, configure mobile workflow packages, as well as review server and domain logs, and monitoring-related data.
In a production environment, administrators use Sybase Control Center on a regular basis to perform the same tasks described for a shared development environment. They also configure the operation of Unwired Servers, and administer day-to-day activities of the production environment. Administrators must also routinely monitor the overall health and performance of the system, which may include clusters and domains.

Unwired Platform Administration by Node
The left navigation pane in the Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform console displays a tree of administrable features in the form of nodes, some of which can be expanded to reveal a more granular view of the cluster environment. These nodes let you manage and configure the main components of Unwired Platform.
Cluster Administration Overview
The goal of cluster administration is to ensure that clusters and servers work smoothly, and scale over time. By default, the Unwired Platform is installed as a one-node cluster. The one-node cluster is supported for Online Data Proxy and in development or test environments. Production deployments of Unwired Platform are likely to require multiple nodes. Cluster administration is mostly a nonroutine administration task.
Server Administration Overview
The goal of server administration is to ensure that Unwired Server is running correctly and that it is configured correctly for the environment in which it is installed (development or production). Server administration is mostly a one-time or infrequent administration task.
Application and User Management Overview
The goal of application management is to register an application to Unwired Server as an entity, create an application template that specifies application connection details for a user, and activate applications either manually or automatically.
MBO Package Management Overview
The goal of mobile business object (MBO) package management is to make MBOs available to device users. MBO package management typically requires a one-time deployment and configuration, except for ongoing subscription management for messaging and Data Orchestration Engine connector (DOE-C) packages.
Security Administration Overview
Perform security administration tasks to establish rules for the protection of enterprise and administrative data and transactions.
System Monitoring Overview
The goal of monitoring is to provide a record of activities and performance statistics for various elements of the application. Monitoring is an ongoing administration task.
Mobile Workflow Package Administration Overview
The goal of mobile workflow package management is to make mobile workflows available from the Unwired Server to device users. Mobile workflow package management typically requires a one-time deployment and configuration, except for ongoing package maintenance.
