Creating an Unwired Accelerator Connection Profile

To develop mobile applications, you must be connected to a server running the Unwired Accelerator application. An Unwired Accelerator connection profile defines the parameters for connecting to a Unwired Accelerator hosted server.

You can create an Unwired Acceleration connection profile or you can use the fully-configured default Unwired Accelerator connection profile installed with Sybase WorkSpace.

To create an Unwired Accelerator connection profile:

From the Mobile Development perspective, select File | New | Unwired Accelerator Connection Profile. The New Unwired Accelerator Connection Profile wizard displays.

Specify the following information:

Name and Description page

Field	Description
Name	The name of the connection profile.
Description	An optional description given to the connection profile.
Auto-Connect	Select this option to automatically connect to the Unwired Accelerator application server in the Enterprise Explorer view when you finish creating the connection profile.

Connection Information page

Field	Description
Host	The host name of the server that contains Unwired Accelerator. The default host name is the name you provided in the Name and Description page. If Unwired Accelerator is running on the same machine as Sybase WorkSpace, you can use either localhost or the actual machine name as the host name.
Domain	The domain on which Unwired Accelerator is installed. The default is your local domain if one exists, or sybase.com.
Port	The port that Unwired Accelerator uses to listen for requests. The default is 4040 for Tomcat. Note If Unwired Accelerator is installed on a remote machine, or you cannot locate the values, contact your system administrator to obtain the correct host, domain, and port number.
Test Connection	Verify access to the selected port and server.
Login	The login ID of the Unwired Accelerator user. The default login is masuper.
Password	The password of the login user. The default password is m8super.

Click Next to associate a linked project with this connection profile. This step is optional.

Linked Project page

Field	Description
Project name	The name of the project to which you are linking.
Project contents	The directory that contains the project. Select Use Default to store the contents in the `workspace/project_name` subdirectory, where project_name is the name of the project. Otherwise, enter or use the Browse button to locate a project location.

References page

Field	Description
Reference projects	Entering referenced project names allows views, such as the Service Explorer to show services when editing mobile application components.

In the Summary page, click Back to make changes or Finish to confirm.
