This chapter describes the basic Mobile Synchronization Gateway administration tasks and tools used to perform those tasks.
A Mobile Synchronization Gateway administrator is responsible for the day-to-day tasks of maintaining and managing Mobile Synchronization Gateway and its users. The tasks also include managing Mobile Synchronization Gateway components, Oracle GlassFish Server, and potentially other Unified Communications Suite components.
You perform the following tasks as a Mobile Synchronization Gateway administrator:
Stopping and starting Mobile Synchronization Gateway
Configuring Mobile Synchronization Gateway for direct push
Monitoring Mobile Synchronization Gateway
Tuning Mobile Synchronization Gateway performance
Troubleshooting Mobile Synchronization Gateway
Mobile Synchronization Gateway is deployed on a GlassFish Server domain. You use the GlassFish Server Administration Console and asadmin command to manage the Mobile Synchronization Gateway web container. See the GlassFish Server documentation for more information.
Mobile Synchronization Gateway provides several command-line utilities for administering the server. These utilities run under the umbrella command, mgadmin. For more information, see "Mobile Synchronization Gateway Command-Line Utilities".
