Relay Server Components Used in SAP Mobile Platform

Relay Server operations include several executable components.

These components include:

Relay Server host (rshost.exe) – the host resides on the Relay Server. It is responsible for accepting a single, inbound connection from the SAP Mobile Server outbound enabler; accepting multiple, inbound connections from Afaria clients; and handling the associated processes that occur on the relay server for SAP Mobile Server sessions. Install the relay server with files that are bundled with the SAP Mobile Platform product. You define its configuration settings using SAP Control Center.

Relay Server outbound enabler (rsoe.exe) – the outbound enabler is the relay agent on the SAP Mobile Server. It is responsible for initiating an outbound connection with the relay server, while sustaining a connection with the SAP Mobile Server .An outbound enabler is installed automatically when you configure it from SAP Control Center.

SAP Mobile Platform clients must be configured to use corresponding connection settings for Relay Server but do not require a separate, executable component.
