Server Environment Administration

Server environment administration includes all the activities required to set up and configure your Unwired Platform server environment.

Administration of the server environment includes:

Managing Unwired Server clusters. The membership (adding or removing a node), naming, and unlinking of a cluster's relay server is all handled during the installation or manual configuration process.
Versioning of the cluster occurs automatically and cannot be directly controlled by the administrator. If you have a cluster-affecting change on the primary, the change is shared with the rest of the cluster.

Note: Before you set up the cluster, plan the details accordingly. For planning information, see System Design chapter.
Configuring the server environment from Sybase Control Center.
Enabling and designing domains for multiple tenants in your system.
Managing and monitoring your consolidated database. Decide whether to use a new default database or an existing one, and configure the environment to use the corresponding database. You can do this with the installer or with Sybase Control Center postinstallation (for existing databases only).

Cluster Administration Overview
The goal of cluster administration is to ensure that clusters and servers work smoothly, and scale over time. Cluster administration is mostly a nonroutine administration task.
Server Administration Overview
The goal of server administration is to ensure that Unwired Server is running correctly and that it is configured correctly for the environment in which it is installed (development or production). Server administration is mostly a one-time or infrequent administration task.
Domain Administration Overview
The goal of domain management is to create and manage domains for one specific tenant. Use multiple domains for multiple tenants sharing the same Unwired Server cluster.
EIS Connection Management Overview
The goal of enterprise information system connection management is to ensure the connections to back-end repositories of data remain available to Unwired Server and deployed packages that require those connections. Connections management is a non-routine administration task.
