Server Administration

The goal of server administration is to ensure that SAP Mobile Server is running correctly and that it is configured correctly for the environment in which it is installed (development or production). Server administration is mostly a one-time or infrequent administration task.

There are two types of server nodes that can be installed:

Application Service node – (mandatory) runs all services.
Scale Out node – (optional) specifically designed to allow the stateless request/response HTTP and synchronous message services to be horizontally scaled.

Changing SAP Mobile Server Host Name
Change the SAP Mobile Server host name. If you are changing the host name for a node in a cluster, the name must be changed for all nodes in the cluster. Additional steps are required if you are making a host name change after an upgrade.
Starting and Stopping SAP Mobile Server
You can start and stop SAP Mobile Server in different ways, depending on the use context.
Configuring SAP Mobile Server to Prepare for Connections Outside the Firewall
Configure the Relay Server in SAP Control Center to create the number of Relay Server farms for your clusters: at minimum, you should use one farm for replication and one for messaging synchronization payloads.
