GroupWise Mobile Server provides its own internal database for standalone operation. If you choose to use an external database, GroupWise Mobile Server requires one of the supported databases listed in Table 1-2 to operate.
Sybase ASA is available on the installation download, and you can use it for systems of 500-1000 users. If you do not have Microsoft SQL Server on another computer, you can install Sybase ASA along with the GroupWise Mobile Server components. For a large production environment, use a full-version database environment (such as Microsoft SQL Server) to get expanded support for a large number of simultaneously connected clients.
GroupWise Mobile Server recommends that you install the SQL Server in case-insensitive mode.
If you are using SQL Server with named instances, specify the TCP/IP port used by the named instance when prompted for database server, username, and password information.
The user that the GroupWise Mobile Server runs as must be a local Admin user and must have the following local security policies enabled:
Act as part of the operating system
Adjust memory quotes for a process
Allow log on locally
Logon as a service
Replace a process level token
These permissions are set as part of the installation process.
In addition, the following services must be enabled on the Windows server:
Distributed Transaction Coordinator
Secondary Logon
