Starting and Stopping Unwired Platform Server Services

You must start Unwired Platform server services before you can access Unwired Server from Sybase Control Center or Sybase Unwired WorkSpace. Sometimes you must stop these services to install, uninstall, or upgrade related software.

Sybase recommends that you use the manual option to start and stop Sybase Unwired Platform services only for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.

If you are routinely starting and stopping Unwired Server, you should use Sybase Control Center for that purpose. Sybase Control Center allows you to manage local and remote servers from a single location, and is more efficient than starting and stopping with services or desktop shortcuts.

The Windows Start menu or desktop shortcuts affect a larger set of Unwired server services, but only the host where Windows is running

See System Administration for Sybase Unwired Platform > System Reference > Unwired Platform Windows Services.

From Windows, select Start > Programs > Sybase > Unwired Platform<version> > Start Unwired Platform Services.
From Windows, select Start > Programs > Sybase > Unwired Platform<version> > Stop Unwired Platform Services.
If you cannot start or stop Unwired Platform Server services using the Windows Start menu, see Troubleshooting Sybase Unwired Platform > Troubleshoot Sybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform > Unwired Server Fails to Start.

On a single-host installation, the menu options above start or stop these server services:

SybaseUnwiredPlatform<hostname>Server1
SybaseUnwiredPlatform<hostname>Database1
SybaseUnwiredPlatform<hostname>SampleDatabase1 (installed by default only with Developer Edition)
Sybase Messaging Service

In a cluster installation, the menu options above start or stop these server services on the cluster node where the menu commands are executed:

SybaseUnwiredPlatform<clustername>Server#
Note: In the additional server nodes in a cluster environment, the "Server#" portion of the service name is incremented in the order in which the nodes are installed.
SybaseUnwiredPlatformConsolidatedDatabase (only present on data tier node)
SybaseUnwiredPlatformClusterDatabase (only present on data tier node)
SybaseUnwiredPlatformMonitorDatabase (only present on data tier node)
SybaseUnwiredPlatform<clustername>SampleDatabase1 (installed by default only with Developer Edition)
Sybase Messaging Service

The <clustername> above is the <hostname> of the first server on which you installed the Unwired Server component of Unwired Platform after installing the data tier on its own host. In a single-server installation, the <clustername> is the <hostname> of host server.

Note: The Sybase Unified Agent service is always installed to run in automatic startup mode. Similarly, the OpenDS LDAP server (installed with the developer edition) is installed to run in automatic startup mode.
