The goal of data management is to ensure the data tier of Unwired Platform remains stable, available, and efficient. Data management is a not a routine administration task, and for Unwired Platform, primarily involves maintaining cache data and ensuring data is delivered to the device in a timely manner, as determined by your business requirements.
| Task | Frequency | Accomplish by using |
|---|---|---|
| Install a new or configure an existing consolidated database (CDB) for Unwired Platform. | Once | If you are installing a new CDB, no action is required. Otherwise, use either the installer, or Sybase Control Center (postinstallation) to configure the existing database to use as the CDB. For details about using Sybase Control Center, see Sybase Control Center online help > Configure > Configure Unwired Platform > Unwired Server > Consolidated Database. |
| Set up the cache group refresh schedule (to update data on the Unwired Server from the data source). | Once, unless data refreshes need to be tuned | Sybase Control Center |
| Create sync paradigms (for messaging-based sync packages), synchronization groups, and device notifications (for replication-based sync packages) to customize how updated data in the cache is delivered to the device user. | Periodic, as required | Sybase Control Center |
| Review current/historical/performance metrics | Routine | Sybase Control Center |
