Developer Edition Task Flows

Follow the task flow for your license type and desired development environment configuration.

Installing a Personal Developer Edition

Install Sybase Unwired Platform on a single server or developer workstation:
  • This installation cannot be upgraded to a cluster installation.
  • If you need to use a Developer Edition via Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), Terminal Services, or similar remote access technology, you cannot use unserved licenses. You must generate served licenses and use a license server. Virtual machines (VMs) that are not locally hosted typically require RDC, so also require served licenses. If installing on a VM with an unserved license, you must use console 0 to access the VM to perform the installation.

This task flow installs these components on a single server or workstation:

  1. Plan your installation. The Personal Developer license allows you to install all Sybase Unwired Platform components on the same machine.
    • To create an installation image on the network.
    • You will install additional developer workstations to share the same Unwired Server.
    • You will install Device Application Designer in addition to Unwired WorkSpace.
    • You will install Windows Mobile .NET Components.
    • You will use an existing JDK installation.
    • You will use an existing Eclipse installation.
  2. If you are not using the time-delimited evaluation license, download a license file. See Obtaining a License.
  3. Verify the installation prerequisites. See System Requirements for Unwired Platform.
  4. Perform postinstallation tasks for your installation. See Postinstallation Tasks.

Installing an Enterprise Developer Edition on a Single Server

Install the Developer Edition on either a single server or a developer workstation, without cluster support:
  • This installation cannot be upgraded to a cluster installation. To perform cluster development work, install using the next task flow, Installing an Enterprise Developer Edition in a Cluster.
  • If you need to use a Developer Edition via Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), Terminal Services, or similar remote access technology, you cannot use unserved licenses. You must generate served licenses and use a license server. Virtual machines (VMs) that are not locally hosted typically require RDC, so also require served licenses. If installing on a VM with an unserved license, you must use console 0 to access the VM to perform the installation.

Use this task flow to install these components on a single server or developer workstation:

  1. Plan your installation. Determine whether:
    • To create an installation image on the network.
    • You will install additional developer workstations to share the same Unwired Server.
    • You will install Device Application Designer in addition to Unwired WorkSpace.
    • You will install Windows Mobile .NET Components.
    • You will use an existing JDK installation.
    • You will use an existing Eclipse installation.
  2. Determine your licensing model: unserved (local) license or served (SySAM License Server). See License Validation.
  3. Download a license file. See Obtaining a License.
  4. Verify the installation prerequisites. See System Requirements for Unwired Platform.
  5. Print the Installation Worksheet and record important installation details to have them available during subsequent installations.
  6. Install Unwired Platform on the server or developer workstation. See Installing Developer Edition on a Single Server.
  7. (Optional) Install Unwired WorkSpace and Device Application Designer on additional developer workstations that will share this Unwired Server installation. See Performing a Custom Installation of Developer Edition.
  8. Perform postinstallation tasks for your installation. See Postinstallation Tasks.

Installing an Enterprise Developer Edition in a Cluster

Install Developer Edition in a cluster configuration. If you need to use a Developer Edition via Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), Terminal Services, or similar remote access technology, you cannot use unserved licenses. You must generate served licenses and use a license server. Virtual machines (VMs) that are not locally hosted typically require RDC, so also require served licenses. If installing on a VM with an unserved license, you must use console 0 to access the VM to perform the installation.

Use this task flow to install these components in a cluster configuration:

  1. Plan your installation. Determine whether:
    • To create an installation image on the network.
    • You will install additional developer workstations to share the same Unwired Server.
    • You will install Device Application Designer in addition to Unwired WorkSpace.
    • You will use an existing JDK installation.
    • You will install Windows Mobile .NET Components.
    • You will use an existing Eclipse installation.
    • You have designated machines that can host the data tier and the server nodes.
  2. Determine your licensing model: unserved (local) license or served (SySAM License Server). See License Validation.
  3. Download a license file. See Obtaining a License.
  4. Verify the installation prerequisites. See System Requirements for Unwired Platform.
  5. Print the Installation Worksheet so you can note important installation details and have them available during subsequent installations.
  6. Install the data tier on its own server. See Installing the Consolidated Database on its Own Host for a Developer Installation.
    Note: You must install the data tier even if you are planning to use an existing installation of SQL Anywhere to host your Unwired Platform data. The data tier installation includes the Unwired Server messaging database.
  7. Install the first node for the cluster. See Installing the First Node for a Developer Cluster Installation.
  8. Install the second and subsequent nodes for the cluster. See Installing Additional Nodes in an Existing Cluster for a Developer Installation.
  9. (Optional) Install Unwired WorkSpace and Device Application Designer on additional developer workstations that will share this Unwired Server installation. See Performing a Custom Installation of Developer Edition.
  10. Perform postinstallation tasks for your installation. See Postinstallation Tasks.
