Unwired Platform Windows services run automatically on your host, with many starting up when the host computer is started or when the installation process finishes. Determine what services exist for each runtime component and what dependencies exist among these services.
Depending on the components installed in the cluster you are administering, some of these services may not appear in your list of Windows services; certain data and server components may be installed on different nodes to facilitate redundancy.
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.
| Component | Service | Description | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unwired Server | Advantage Database Server | The database server that manages the messaging database. | This service must be started before Sybase Messaging Service can be started. |
| OpenDS | The default LDAP server for development authentication and authorization. If you are using a provider other than LDAP, you do not need to use this service. Appears in the Developer Edition installation only. | None. | |
Consolidated Database (the service name depends on the data tier installation type):
|
The CDB services. | The CDB service must be started before the Unwired Server service can be started. | |
| SybaseUnwiredPlatform<cluster_ name>Server<install_number> | The Unwired Server service. | Depends on the CDB service startup and relay server service (if used). | |
| Sybase Messaging Service | The synchronization service that facilitates communication with device client applications. | Depends on Advantage Database Server startup. | |
| Sybase Control Center | Sybase Unified Agent X.X | Provides runtime services to manage, monitor, and control distributed Sybase resources. The agent must be running for Sybase Control Center to run. | None. |
