Installing SAP Mobile Platform on a Single Server

This scenario places all SAP Mobile Platform server components (SAP Mobile Server and data tier) on a single host. This scenario is suitable for a developer environment, with shared SAP Mobile Platform server resources. It may also be suitable for an SAP Mobile Platform prototyping environment, or a low-volume production system that does not require load balancing or failover.

Prerequisites

The architecture, design characteristics, and use cases for this installation scenario are described in Landscape Design and Integration > Designing the Landscape > Single Server Installation. The installation instructions in this chapter assume that you have used the Landscape Design and Integration document to design the landscape.

Complete the worksheet for your chosen scenario. Obtain the Excel workbook file with the scenario worksheets by clicking: ../misc/SMP23_Worksheets.zip.

Note: Personal Development Server license terms require all SAP Mobile Platform server components to be installed on the same, single-user host as the SAP Mobile SDK.

This diagram illustrates the single-server scenario:
