Adding Relay Servers or Reverse Proxies

Once the installation of the SAP Mobile Platform cluster is complete, install and configure either Relay Server or a reverse proxy, depending on the option you have selected during the design stage.

• Using SAP Hosted Relay Service for Testing
  The SAP Hosted Relay Service is an alternative to local Relay Server installation, for temporary use with development and test systems only. It is particularly suitable for a personal SAP Mobile Platform system.
• Installing Relay Server for Production Environments
  A Relay Server supports most environments and application types, including those applications connecting as an HTTP client.
• Using Apache Reverse Proxy for HTTP Clients
  For organizations with HTTP clients designed to consume SAP Mobile Server services via scale-out nodes, you can optionally implement an Apache Reverse Proxy instead of a Relay Server in your production environment.
