SAP
recommends that for all host nodes, use your standard complete backup procedures. That way,
in case of catastrophic failure, you can completely restore these hosts to its previous
state as of the last backup.
Complete backup of a host includes:
- File artifacts of installed software components that make up
SAP Mobile Platform.
- Registry entries (so that the installed software and services can
all run properly after the restore).
Note: When backing up the SAP Mobile Platform Runtime installation, the path to the
Embedded Web Container in the SCC-3_2 folder is
too long for Windows to process. Before the back up, you must delete the contents of
SMP_HOME\services\EmbeddedWebContainer\container\Jetty-7.6.2.v20120308\work.
You must delete the contents of this folder from the command prompt, and not from
Windows Explorer.
If you are only backing up a single node cluster, SAP recommends that you reinstall to a new host
and add a new node to existing cluster. This installation option automatically
synchronizes the cluster ensuring the same messaging server keys and required artifacts
are shared and configured correctly. (For example, RSOEs, installation of third-party
software (for example, JDBC drivers for non-SAP EIS databases). Always document these backup and
configuration requirements in their internal project documentation. For assistance, see
Completing Installation Worksheets in the
Landscape Design and
Integration guide.
