Using Unwired Server in a Development Environment

You may be using Unwired Server in a personal development environment or a shared development environment.

In a personal development environment, Unwired Server is installed on your machine with the Sybase Unwired WorkSpace Eclipse development environment, so you can test and refine packages you develop. Default Unwired Server settings should be sufficient for personal development and subsequent deployment. However, should you need to tune settings, you can refer to the Sybase Control Center online help for details.

In a shared development environment, Unwired Server is typically installed by a Unwired Platform administrator (supAdmin) on a separate machine shared by multiple developers. This requires a multiple-seat site license. The supAdmin, is tasked with configuring and maintaining the cluster to which the server has been installed. However, developers can be made domain administrators so they can deploy and test packages they have created. The supAdmin accomplishes this by:

Creating an administration user for each developer.
Assigning those administration users to a domain.

For information on how to perform domain administration tasks and which artifacts you can manage within a domain, see the "Systems Administration" chapter in System Administration.
