Log Correlation Utility

SAP Mobile Platform now includes a command line utility (consolidate-logs.bat) for consolidating, correlating, and filtering the server log content. The utility is limited to the SAP Mobile Server and cluster logs. The utility is typically used by the SAP Mobile Platform support team, but can also be used by administrators to collect data for analysis or reporting to the support team.

Documented in: Log Correlation Command Line Utility (consolidate-logs.bat) in System Administration.

Configuring Disk Cache Size

In 2.3 SP03, you can develop client applications for resumable synchronization, which allows you to resume a long synchronization when an interruption occurs. Application developers determine whether clients can request a synchronization that resumes downloading after an interruption. The server cache stores synchronization data that has not been received by the client. The server cache must be large enough to store the data required for all resumable downloads. If the cache size is too small, the server releases the synchronization data, making it impossible to resume a synchronization.

The server releases the cached download data when one of the following occurs:
  • The client successfully completes the download.
  • The client requests a synchronization without resume enabled.
  • The cache is needed for incoming requests. The oldest unsuccessful download is cleared first.
System administrators can configure the cache size using SAP Control Center.

View Service Pack Information

In 2.3 SP03, you can view service pack and patch information in SAP Control Center. This makes it easier to determine what service packs and patches have been installed, and to help troubleshoot upgrade problems.
