Sometimes Unwired Server must asynchronously notify a device application of changes it should be aware of. The mechanism for transmitting a push notification depends on the device type.
The notification protocol depends on platform:
- For BlackBerry devices, Unwired Server takes advantage of the HTTP gateway push features of the MDS servers to deliver the notification. See BlackBerry Push Notification Properties in Sybase Control Center online help.
- For iOS devices, Unwired Server uses the APNS service. See Apple Push Notification Properties in Sybase Control Center online help.
-
For Android/Windows Mobile, devices must use either device tracker or lightweight polling. See Push and Pull Synchronization with Notifications and Enabling Push and Pull Notifications in System Administration.
