Unwired Platform Windows Services

Unwired Platform Windows services run automatically on your host, with many starting up when the host computer is started or when the installation process finishes. Determine what services exist for each runtime component and what dependencies exist among these services.

Depending on the components installed in the cluster you are administering, some of these services may not appear in your list of Windows services; certain data and server components may be installed on different nodes to facilitate redundancy.

Note: Sybase recommends that you only manually start and stop Sybase Unwired Platform services for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.

If you are routinely starting and stopping Unwired Server, you should use Sybase Control Center for that purpose. Sybase Control Center allows you to manage local and remote servers from a single location, and is more efficient than starting and stopping with services or desktop shortcuts.

Component	Service	Description	Dependencies
Unwired Server	Advantage Database Server	The database server that manages the messaging database.	This service must be started before Sybase Messaging Service can be started.
	OpenDS	The default LDAP server for development authentication and authorization. If you are using a provider other than LDAP, you do not need to use this service. Appears in the Developer Edition installation only.	None.
	Consolidated Database (the service name depends on the data tier installation type): If the data tier is installed with Unwired Server on the same host: SybaseUnwiredPlatform<host-name>Database<install_number> If the data tier is installed by itself: SybaseUnwiredPlatformConsolidatedDatabase	The CDB services.	The data service must be started before the Unwired Server service can be started.
	SybaseUnwiredPlatform`<cluster_ name>`Server`<install_number>`	The Unwired Server service.	Depends on the CDB service startup and relay server service (if used).
	Sybase Messaging Service	The synchronization service that facilitates communication with device client applications. Stopping this service also stops the Advantage Database service, SybaseUnwiredPlatform service, OpenDS service, and the CDB and sample database.	Depends on Advantage Database Server startup.
Afaria Server	Afaria Client Service	Appears only on desktop computers that are Afaria clients. Initiates connections with an Afaria Server to run sessions.	None.
	Afaria Database	The service required to run the Afaria Server Database. The Afaria Database service is set to automatic. But, if the service has been stopped or is not running, starting the Afaria server service does not start the Afaria Database service if it is not running. In this case, you must manually start the database.	Afaria Server
	Afaria Server	The software component that manages the Afaria runtime. Starting the server does not start the database. You must start that service manually.	Afaria Database
Relay Server Outbound Enabler	There are three services, one for each service type: SybaseUnwiredPlatform`<clusterName>`RSOE`<install_number>` SybaseUnwiredPlatform`<clusterName>`IMORSOE`<install_number>` SybaseUnwiredPlatform<clusterName>WebserverRSOE<install_number>	The relay-server outbound enabler (RSOE) service that enables communication from the relay server to Unwired Server. If you use the Start menu, a shortcut, or startrsoe.bat, the RSOE services (RSOE, IMORSOE, and WebServerRSOE) start automatically. If you use the Windows Services manager to start Unwired Server, the RSOE services do not start. Instead, start the RSOE services first, which automatically starts the Unwired Server service.	Depends on the Unwired Server service startup, and appears only after you run regRelayServer.bat.
Sybase Control Center	Sybase Unified Agent `X.X`	Provides runtime services to manage, monitor, and control distributed Sybase resources. The agent must be running for Sybase Control Center to run.	None.
