Server Administration

The goal of server administration is to ensure that Unwired Server is running correctly and that it is configured correctly for the environment in which it is installed (development or production). Server administration is mostly a one-time or infrequent administration task.

There are two types of server nodes that can be installed:

Application Server node – (mandatory) runs all services.
Scale Out node – (optional) specifically designed to allow the stateless request/response HTTP and synchronous message services to be horizontally scaled.

Server administration tasks
Task	Frequency	Accomplished by
Installing the server	One-time installation per server	Unwired Platform installer.
Tuning the server performance.	Post installation with infrequent tuning as required	Sybase Control Center. See Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform>Administer> Unwired Server
Manage the outbound enabler configuration for Relay Server. Configure Relay Server properties Manage certificates View logs Configure proxy servers for outbound enabler	Post installation	Sybase Control Center

Maintaining Host Names
Changing the host name is rarely done in a production system, but may be required as part of cluster administration, for example, if the host name is too long or includes reserved characters.
Changing Unwired Server Host Name
Change the Unwired Server host name. If you are changing the host name for a node in a cluster, the name must be changed for all nodes in the cluster. Additional steps are required if you are making a host name change after an upgrade.
Methods for Starting and Stopping Unwired Server
You can start and stop Unwired Server in different ways, depending on the use context.
Configuring Unwired Server Performance Properties
To optimize Unwired Server performance, configure the thread stack size, maximum and minimum heap sizes, and user options such as enabling trace upload to SAP® Solution Manager.
Configuring Unwired Server to Prepare for Connections Outside the Firewall
Configure the Relay Server in Sybase Control Center to create the number of Relay Server farms for your clusters: at minimum, you should use one farm for replication and one for messaging synchronization payloads.
