Subscribing and Connecting to Sybase Hosted Relay Service

Subscribe online to the Sybase Hosted Relay Service, and configure your environment with information provided during subscription, rather than installing a relay server on your network.

A hosted relay server is typically used by pilot, development, or test environments. All other environments should create a new relay server cluster in Sybase Control Center and use relay server binaries on their DMZ.
  1. Register Unwired Server with the relay service.
    1. Register or log in to the Sybase Hosted Relay Service at https://relayserver03.sybase.com/ias_relay_server/account/index.php.
      Complete any mandatory fields, then click Submit.
    2. From the navigation bar on the left, click Manage Account.
    3. Click Add New Sybase Unwired Platform Farm.
      Create one or more farms as required by your development or test environment.
      • Select at least one farm type.
      • Do not select DCN farm.
      • Select MBS farm for Hybrid Web Container applications.
      • Enter the farm name, which serves as the farm ID in Sybase Control Center. The suffix RBS or MBS is appended to the end of the farm name.
      • Enter the server name, which is used as the server node ID in Sybase Control Center. The server name must contain only alphanumeric characters.
    4. Click Create Farm.
    5. Click Configuration Instructions from the confirmation message.
      Keep this page open, or make a copy of these details so you have them available for further configuration tasks in Sybase Control Center and on the client devices.
  2. Launch Sybase Control Center to register the relay service and create Relay Server Outbound Enablers (RSOEs) for it.
    1. Click the Unwired Platform cluster for which you are configuring the relay server, select the Relay Servers tab, then click + New.
    2. Enter the general configuration information from the configuration instructions, then click Next.
      Host relayserver.sybase.com
      HTTP port 80
      HTTPS port 443
    3. Enter the server farm information.
      Farm ID Copy the farm name from configuration instructions
      Type Messaging (MBS) or Replication (RBS)
    4. Click +, then click the farm ID field.
    5. As the Node ID, use the server name you registered in the Sybase Hosted Relay Service.
    6. Copy the Token from the configuration instructions and paste it.
    7. Click + to add the server node to the list, then Finish.
  3. Add the relay server as an RSOE.
    1. In the left pane, under Servers > <Unwired Server name>, select Server Configuration.
    2. Select the RSOE tab.
    3. Click + New to add the relay server as an RSOE.
    4. Select the details from the drop-down lists, then click Finish.
  4. Start all RSOEs.
    Select some or all RSOEs, then click Start. Check the Status column to verify if the status changes to Running.
  5. Select one or more RSOEs, then click Retrieve Log and review messages to ensure the RSOE is running correctly.
  6. Once the environment is functional, keep the connection properties that are displayed on the Configuration Instructions page to share with developers and device users.
    Developers need these values to configure cluster information in an Unwired Server connection profile, and to set values in the Connection screen of a device application. Values must match or the connection to the relay server enabled runtime fails.
