You may be using SAP Mobile Server in a personal development environment or a shared development environment.
In a personal development environment, SAP Mobile Server is
installed on your machine with the SAP Mobile WorkSpace Eclipse development
environment, so you can test and refine packages you develop. Default
SAP Mobile Server settings should be sufficient for personal
development and subsequent deployment. However, should you need to tune settings, you
can refer to the SAP Control Center online help for details.
In a shared development environment, SAP Mobile Server is typically installed by a SAP Mobile Platform administrator (supAdmin) on a separate machine shared
by multiple developers. This requires a multiple-seat site license. The supAdmin is
tasked with configuring and maintaining the cluster to which the server has been
installed. However, developers can be made domain administrators so they can deploy and
test packages they have created. The supAdmin accomplishes this by:
- Creating an administration user for each developer.
- Assigning those administration users to a domain.
