Setting and Distributing Properties for Multiple Relay Servers

Initially configure the first relay server node in Sybase Control Center to simplify setting relay server property values and generating a configuration file from those values. Administrators can then easily transferred configurations to other relay server hosts on the DMZ.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the cluster and Unwired Servers are registered in Sybase Control Center. If the cluster name or the server name does not appear in the navigation pane, you must register these artifacts with Sybase Control Center. You must also start Unwired Servers in the cluster you are configuring.

Task

In the Sybase Control Center navigation pane, click the cluster name, then click the Relay Server tab.
Register and configure the first relay server:
1. Click New.
2. Configure all pages of the wizard, then click Finish. The relay server is registered and these properties are stored in the cluster database. See Creating a Custom Relay Server Configuration in the Sybase Control Center online help.
Configure remaining relay server nodes:
1. Export the properties configured for the first node by selecting the first relay server node entry that appears in the Relay Server tab, then clicking Generate.
2. When prompted, choose Relay server configuration properties file, and generate the entire file, so that new relay server nodes can be configured with it.
3. Manually edit this file, to set the unique connection properties for the new server, as well as other enhancements you need to make that are not supported by Sybase Control Center.
  For complete reference details on all configuration properties available, see http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.sqlanywhere.11.0.1/mlserver_en11/ml-relayserver-config-file.html.
4. Copy the edited file to the appropriate Web server location.
  The path depends on the host type:
  - For IIS: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\IAS_relay_server\Server\rs.config
  - For Apache: <Apache_Home>/modules/rs.config
To upload these configuration changes to relay server:
```
rshost –u –f <WebServerPath>rs.config
```

Next

Upon completion, administrators still need to create one or more RSOEs for each server node using Sybase Control Center.
