Verifying a Remote Installation

If you have installed SAP Mobile SDK on a system where no SAP Mobile Server is installed, start SAP Mobile WorkSpace and connect remotely to SAP Mobile Server.

Prerequisites

Ping the host name of the SAP Mobile Server you plan to use remotely with SAP Mobile SDK to be sure it is running.

Task

Start SAP Mobile WorkSpace:
1. From the Windows task bar, select Start > (All) Programs > SAP > Mobile Platform > Mobile WorkSpace 2.3.
2. Accept the default workspace location.
Modify the default connection profile for My Mobile Server:
1. In Enterprise Explorer, expand the Mobile Servers folder.
2. Right-click My Mobile Server and select Properties.
3. From the left pane of the Properties for My SAP Mobile Server dialog, select Mobile Server Connection Profile.
4. In the Host field, enter the host name for the SAP Mobile Server you want to connect to and click Test Connection.
  If you do not see a Ping succeeded! message, check the spelling on the host name you entered; if you successfully pinged this server before starting this procedure, this ping should also succeed, if the same name is entered here.
5. If the ping still fails, with exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver, see Updating the Database Connection Profile.
6. If the ping still fails, without a ClassNotFoundException, port numbers were probably customized during SAP Mobile Server installation. In SAP Control Center, check the port numbers used for the SAP Mobile Server instance that you are trying to connect to and update the server's connection profile to match in SAP Mobile WorkSpace.
7. Click OK to save the change.
Connect to SAP Mobile Server:
In Enterprise Explorer, expand SAP Mobile Servers, right-click My SAP Mobile Server, and click Connect.
Make sure sampleDB is installed on the SAP Mobile Server to which you connected.
See the last step in Preparing for Installation.
Modify the default connection profile for My Sample Database:
1. In Enterprise Explorer, right-click My Sample Database and select Properties.
2. In the left pane of the Properties for My Sample Database dialog, select Sybase ASA Connection Profile.
3. In the Host field, enter the host name for the SAP Mobile Server you want to connect to and click Test Connection.
  If you do not see a Ping succeeded! message, check the spelling on the host name you entered; if you successfully pinged this server before starting this procedure, this ping should also succeed, if the same name is entered here.
4. Click OK to save the change.
Connect to sampledb.

In Enterprise Explorer, expand Database Connections, right-click My Sample Database, and click Connect.

If the ping still fails, with exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver, see Updating the Database Connection Profile.
