Unwired Platform Windows Services

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.

Note: Sybase recommends that you only manually start and stop Sybase Unwired Platform services for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.

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	Sybase Unwired CacheDB	The main, or cache, data tier service.	The Sybase Unwired CacheDB service must be started before the Unwired Server service can be started.
	Sybase Unwired SampleDB	The Sybase Unwired Platform sample database.	None.
	Sybase Unwired Server	The Unwired Server service.	Depends on the Sybase Unwired CacheDB service startup and relay server service (if used).
Runtime Databases	Sybase Unwired ClusterDB	The database server that manages the data that supports the operation of the cluster.	This service only appears with the data tier installed on its own server in a cluster; generally it should be started and stopped with the Sybase Unwired CacheDB service. Note: A single-node installation runs these databases in the same service (Sybase Unwired CacheDB).
Runtime Databases	Sybase Sybase Unwired LogDataDB	The database server that manages logging for Unwired Platform.	This service only appears with the data tier installed on its own server in a cluster; generally it should be started and stopped with the Sybase Unwired CacheDB service.
Sybase Control Center	Sybase Control Center `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.
