Chapter 1: Introduction

Starting Unwired Accelerator

Before you start the tutorials, you must:

Start the Unwired Accelerator server, which includes the portal database (portaldb) and the sample database (sampledb). The tutorials in this guide use the sampledb database. See “Tutorial environment”.
Start the application server. The Tomcat application server is included with Unwired Accelerator.

If you are using EAServer as your application server, use the EAServer instructions for starting or stopping Mobile Web Studio.

Select Start | Programs | Sybase | UnwiredAccelerator | Start UnwiredAccelerator. This starts the ASA database, the Tomcat application server, and an Internet Explorer browser window.

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

When Tomcat starts, you see a series of messages in the Tomcat window:
```
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.1.29
```
On Windows, when you see this message, minimize the Tomcat window (do not close the window).

If you do not see this message, check the datamanager.log, located in x:\tmp\logs, for more information.
From the Internet Explorer window, you can log in to Mobile Web Studio or Portal Interface, as described in “Using Mobile Web Studio”.

Stopping Unwired Accelerator

Select Start | Programs | Sybase | UnwiredAccelerator | Stop UnwiredAccelerator. This stops Tomcat and the ASA database, and closes the Tomcat window.

See the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide for information about starting and stopping ASA and Tomcat independently using the startdb, starttomcat, stoptomcat, and stopdatabase scripts.
