Sun Java System Mobile Enterprise Platform 1.0 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Enable Push Synchronization for All Users

To enable push synchronization, you must edit a configuration file and then stop and restart the Application Server. You perform these tasks outside the Admin Console.

  1. Open the file mep-domain-dir/ds/conf/gateway.conf in a text editor (mep-domain-dir is the location of the Application Server domain for MEP).

  2. Locate the following line:

    push.polling.check_interval = 0
  3. Change the 0 to a value that specifies how often, in milliseconds, the Gateway Engine should check for updates on the EIS/EAI system or database. The following setting specifies an interval of two minutes:

    push.polling.check_interval = 120000
  4. Save and close the file.

  5. Stop the Application Server (as-install represents the directory where the Application Server is installed):


    as-install/bin/asadmin stop-domain mep
    
  6. Start the Application Server again:


    as-install/bin/asadmin start-domain mep
    

    You will be asked for the master password; the default is adminpass.

Next Steps

After you restart the Application Server, the Preferences tab contains three panels. In the Push Strategies panel, the OMA DS Server Alert checkbox is selected, indicating that push synchronization is enabled.
