Administration

New or changed administration features enable you to use Sybase Control Center to configure cluster-level server settings, automate Hybrid App and application distribution by roles, set the BlackBerry messaging portioning response limit, manage HTTP log settings, configure application-specific native notifications, and modify Hybrid App client variables. Security and Notification API SDKs are now available, and the Management API has been enhanced.

Configure Cluster-Wide Shared Server Settings from Sybase Control Center

Shared server configuration settings are now configured at the cluster level, rather than the server level. Use the new "Configuration Node" in Sybase Control Center to configure the shared server configuration settings for the cluster.

Documented in: Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform, see Cluster Properties

Configure Hybrid App and Application Distribution from Sybase Control Center

Hybrid Apps can be automatically assigned to the application connections of users based on membership in their groups, which are exposed in LDAP. Similarly, access to an application can be authorized using these groups. Application connection template settings are used for this purpose. Previously, the system administrator had to manually assign Hybrid Apps to user specific application connections.

Configure Application-Specific Native Notification from Sybase Control Center

Native notification (sometimes called push notification) is now configured at the application level for Android, BlackBerry, and iOS from Sybase Control Center via the application's properties dialog. Previously configuration was done at the server level.

  • Developer Guide: Unwired Server Runtime, see Managing Application Push Configuration

Configure BlackBerry Messaging Response Portioning Limit from Sybase Control Center

Implement performance improvements for BlackBerry messaging by configuring the BES response portioning limit. You can set the response portioning limit from Sybase Control Center.

    • Update BES Response Portioning Limit
  • Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform, see Configuring Messaging Properties

Manage HTTP Log Settings from Sybase Control Center

Use Sybase Control Center to set HTTP log settings for the Unwired Server log. By default HTTP logging is turned off because it can cause a performance impact, and possibly log sensitive data.

Documented in: Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform, see Configuring Unwired Server Log Settings

Modify Client Variables from Sybase Control Center

You can now modify Hybrid App client variables from Sybase Control Center. Previously you could only use the Management API to retrieve and update client variables.

Documented in:
  • Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform, see Configuring Client Variables for Hybrid Apps
  • Developer Guide: Unwired Server Runtime, see:
    • Retrieval of Hybrid App Client Variables
    • Update of Hybrid App Client Variables
