Best Practices

Observe these best practices.

• Thread safety – The admin API client library is not thread safe, so external synchronization is required when calling the APIs concurrently from multiple threads.
• Performance – When managing multiple Sybase Unwired Platform clusters, for performance considerations, it is best to connect to Sybase Control Center co-located with the managed Sybase Unwired Platform cluster. Although connecting to another Sybase Control Center (as long as they share the same credentials) to perform management is supported, performance may not be as good as the former approach.
• Commit configuration – The SUPServerConfiguration and SUPSecurityConfiguration APIs use a local cache and upload changes later to the Unwired Server. You must perform a commit to upload changes to the Unwired Server and then refresh.
• Error handling – For error handling, use the error code returned in the exception. Also, by calling the getErrorCode() method of SUPAdminException, a string representation of the structured error code can be retrieved, which can further the centralized error code handling.
