Data Tier Administration Overview

If you need to change properties of the data tier, review the tasks you can perform for different Unwired Platform databases.

• Changing DBA Passwords for SQLAnywhere Databases
  By default, Unwired Platform uses multiple SQLAnywhere databases to support the server runtime environment and transactions. Unwired Server accesses these databases with the DBA user identity.
• Changing Database Ports for SQLAnywhere Databases
  By default, ports are configured when you install the data tier. You can change values for any SQLAnywhere database deployed as part of the data tier.
• Changing SQLAnywhere Database Server Startup Options
  Change the database server startup options to control the performance of a SQLAnywhere database server.
• Changing the Cache Database Server Thread Count
  You can change the cache database (CDB) server thread count as required. The procedure for this varies depending on the type of environment the CDB server is deployed to.
• Changing the Cache Database Server Pool Size
  You can change the cache database (CDB) server maximum pool (and other configuration values) through Sybase Control Center.
• Using a Different Database Log Path
  Sybase recommends that you always use the default database log path location for Unwired Platform databases. However, the database log path can be changed.
• Cache Database and Timezones
  All nodes in a cluster must run with the same timezone setting.
• Setting Up an Existing Database for Monitoring
  You can use any SQL database provided that the existing version number of that database matches the version required by Unwired Platform.
• Isolating the Monitoring and Domain Logging Databases from Cache and Messaging Databases
  Install a new data tier node and configure the connection details to it.
