Administration Client API Features

Sybase Unwired Platform includes a Java API that opens the administration and configuration of Sybase Unwired Platform to Java client applications you create. By building a custom client with the administration client API, you can build custom application to support Sybase Unwired Platform administration features and functionality within an existing IT management infrastructure.

To create a custom Unwired Platform administration client, use the administration client API package to create contexts, interfaces, and metadata. These can be programmed in any order, however you should call SUPObjectFactory to invoke required APIs on the interfaces and create the context objects you require. Error codes are used liberally and support development efforts. Javadocs have been created to provide a comprehensive library of packages, classes, methods and properties.

The client you create connects to Unwired Server via Sybase Control Center embedded management server and Sybase Unified Agent. For example, as this illustration shows, connections are established using an AgentContext and a ServerContext:

You do not need to create an AgentContext. If none is defined, a default one is created by the ServerContext.
