Goal: Automate the registration of application connections, which represent a client application on a device created for the device user.
Having previously tested this functionality, John knows that he can use Sybase Control Center to register application connections. He can also review application users that have been successfully authenticated.
Acme anticipates the number of device users to grow exponentially over time. Therefore, John wants to automate device registration. John knows that Unwired Platform has public APIs for customizing and automating device and administration applications. Further reading leads John to discover that he can use the Unwired Server Management API to build an application that batches application connection registrations, which streamlines processes considerably.
This exercise is an introduction to the Unwired Server Management APIs, which provide a programmatic interface to the functionality available in the Sybase Control Center administrative console. For complete details, see the Developer Guide: Unwired Server Management API.
