Applying Multiple Unwired Server Configuration Changes

A server restart writes the changes made in Sybase Control Center to the appropriate Unwired Server configuration file. To apply multiple server configuration changes with a single server restart, you cannot make consecutive conflicting updates or refresh the configuration in between saved changes.

Consider these important points when applying multiple changes to an Unwired Server configuration:
  • Failure to save a configuration change prior to restarting Unwired Server results in configuration changes being lost.
  • Failure to restart Unwired Server after saving a configuration change results in changes being uncommitted; Unwired Server instead uses the values that currently exist in the configuration file (that is, previous configuration properties and values).
  • Cumulative saved changes are applied successfully upon server restart as long as these updates do not conflict. Attempting to save two conflicting sets of changes fails. In this case, inject a server restart in between each saved change to ensure that the required updates are propagated across the server.
  • Refreshing the server configuration displays the latest successfully saved configuration information. If you click Refresh in between two sets of saved changes, only the most recent saved updates are applied during a server restart.
When you must make multiple changes to the same component of the Unwired Server configuration, follow this procedure:
Note: Follow the steps in exactly the order they appear. Do not use the Refresh function in between saved changes. Otherwise, configuration changes will be lost.
  1. Make the first set of configuration changes, as required.
  2. Click Save.
    A confirmation message appears in the administration console indicating the success or failure of the save.
  3. Make the second set of configuration changes, as required.
  4. Click Save.
    A confirmation message appears in the administration console indicating the success or failure of the save. If the save is unsuccessful, restart the server before reattempting these updates.
  5. Restart Unwired Server to commit the changes in steps 1 and 3, using the method you prefer for server restarts.
  6. In the left navigation pane, expand the Servers folder and select a server.
  7. Select Server Configuration.
  8. In the right administration pane, select the appropriate tab and click Refresh.
    Current server configuration properties committed with the restart action appear.
