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.

Server administration tasks
Task	Frequency	Accomplished by
Installing the server	One-time installation per server	Unwired Platform installer.
Configuring the server to: Set the replication and messaging synchronization ports, as well as communication ports for administration and DCN Create security profiles for secure administration communication Set up secure synchronization View consolidated database properties Configure replication and messaging push notifications Set transport level security properties within a security profile Tune server performance	Postinstallation configuration with infrequent tuning as required	Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform. See Sybase Control Center online help > Configure > Configuring Unwired Platform > Unwired Server.
Setting server log file settings and subsystem log levels	Once, unless log data requirements change	Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform. See Sybase Control Center online help > Configure > Configuring Unwired Platform > Unwired Server > Server Logs.

Configuring the IIOP Socket Listener
By default, the IIOP socket listeners is configured to listen on the first IP address resolved for your host name.
Viewing Consolidated Database Properties
Review the consolidated database (CDB) properties that allow Unwired Server to connect to the database.
Configuring a Synchronization Listener for Replication-Based Synchronization
Configure the port to receive replication-based synchronization requests from client devices, and if you are using push synchronization, then also configure synchronization listener properties.
Configuring Messaging-Based Synchronization Properties
Configure one or more synchronization ports to receive service requests from devices.
Configuring Unwired Server Performance Properties
To optimize Unwired Platform performance, configure the thread stack size, maximum and minimum heap sizes, user options, and inbound and outbound messaging queue counts.
SNMP Notifications
You can set up Sybase Unified Agent to include a Simple Network Message Protocol (SNMP) plug-in that sends notifications to the configured target when the state of an Unwired Server changes (that is, from running to stopped, or from stopped to running).
