Chapter 3: Getting Started

Starting and stopping the system

This section describes how to start and stop Unwired Accelerator.

Starting Unwired Accelerator

Select Start | Programs | Sybase | Unwired Accelerator | Start UA. 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, including the following:

On Windows:
```
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). You can ignore the rest of the messages.

If you do not see this message, you can 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 “Getting started with Mobile Web Studio” or “Getting started with Portal Interface”.

Stopping Unwired Accelerator

Select Start | Programs | Sybase | Unwired Accelerator | Stop UA. This stops the Tomcat application server and the ASA database, and closes the Tomcat window.

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:

Start UA components in this order:

ASA database
Tomcat server

Stop UA components in this order:

Application server (Tomcat or EAServer)
ASA database
