Starting and stopping Unwired Accelerator

To start Unwired Accelerator, you must start both the Tomcat application server, and the Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) database, and to stop UA you must stop both ASA and the Tomcat server.

StepsStarting Unwired Accelerator

  1. Select Start | Programs | Sybase | Unwired Accelerator | Start UA. This starts the ASA database, the Tomcat application server, and the MobiLink server if you installed it.

    When the database starts, you see the icon for the Sybase ASA database in your taskbar.

    If you configured MobiLink, when the local MobiLink server starts, you see the icon for MobiLink in your task bar.

    When Tomcat starts, you see the Tomcat window. You can minimize the Tomcat window (do not close the window).

    NoteYou can check the datamanager.log, located in x:\tmp\logs, for start up information.

  2. Select Start | Programs | Sybase | Unwired Accelerator | Start UA Studio. This starts an Internet Explorer window.

  3. From the Internet Explorer window, you can log in to Mobile Web Studio as described in “Accessing Mobile Web Studio”.

StepsStopping Unwired Accelerator

  1. Log out of Mobile Web Studio and close the Internet Explorer window.

  2. Select Start | Programs | Sybase | Unwired Accelerator | Stop Unwired Accelerator Studio. This stops the Tomcat application server, the ASA database, and the MobiLink server if you installed it.

Typically, you leave the application server and database running, but you may need to stop and start the application server or database to modify the system or initialize a configuration change. If you need to stop and start the ASA database or Tomcat server independently, keep the following in mind:
