You
can deploy SAP Mobile Platform
to different
environments. SAP Mobile SDK (development) and
SAP Mobile Platform Runtime components are licensed separately.
The
type of environment targeted helps you to determine
the
appropriate product edition and license
type.
- Development is a preproduction environment where applications are
developed on a single host, using a Personal Development Server license. A
simple load-balancing cluster may be necessary, using an Enterprise Development
Server license, if application performance is to be tested. For this
environment, purchase a SAP Mobile SDK license
for each developer workstation.
- Qualification is another preproduction environment that is used
to test applications and runtime properties. If your budget allows,
qualification environments should replicate production environments as closely
as possible. A Microsoft Failover Cluster is used, with
SAP Mobile Platform installed using an Enterprise
Development Server license. Any developer workstation involved requires its own
SAP Mobile SDK license.
- Production is a live runtime environment that uses a Microsoft
Failover Cluster, with SAP Mobile Platform installed using
an Enterprise Server license. For this environment, you require SAP Mobile Platform Runtime that can be licensed according to
the number of CPU cores, clients, and developer workstations used. If any
developer workstations are involved, each requires its own
SAP Mobile SDK license.
