Mobile Data Management Overview

The goal of data management is to ensure the data tier of Unwired Platform remains stable, available, and efficient. Data management is a not a routine administration task, and for Unwired Platform, primarily involves maintaining cache data and ensuring data is delivered to the device in a timely manner, as determined by your business requirements.

Data Management Tasks
Task	Frequency	Accomplish by using
Set up the cache group refresh schedule (to update data on the Unwired Server from the data source).	Once, unless data refreshes need to be tuned	Sybase Control Center
Create synchronization groups, and push notifications, and subscriptions to customize how updated data in the cache is delivered to the device user (varies by synchronization protocol: replication or messaging.	Periodic, as required	Sybase Control Center
Review current/historical/performance metrics	Routine	Sybase Control Center

Data Mobility Configuration Dependencies
To ensure that data in the Unwired Platform mobility ecosystem remains effective and timely, administrators must carefully schedule and configure data update and delivery (synchronization) mechanisms in Sybase Control Center.
Push and Pull Synchronization with Notifications
If you require push synchronization (that is, synchronization initiated by Unwired Server), ensure that it is enabled and correctly set up to use specific gateways.
Cache Data Management
Managing the Unwired Server cache in the cache database ensures that enterprise data remains stable, available, and consistent across sources. Cache data management is essential to keeping data synchronized between Unwired Server and the device client application.
