Computer Name Used as Server or Cluster Name Has Same Requirements as User-Entered Name

In a new installation of SAP Mobile Server, if you let the installer use the computer name for the server name and, on the first SAP Mobile Server, as the cluster name, the computer name must meet the same requirements as server and cluster names that you specify.

In a new installation of SAP Mobile Server, if you do not specify a server name, by default the installer uses the computer name for the server name. If it is a single-server installation, or the first SAP Mobile Server node in a cluster, the installer also uses the computer name by default for the cluster name. In these cases, the computer name must meet the same requirements as server and cluster names that you enter.

Each server or cluster name:

Must contain only:
- ASCII alphanumeric characters
- Underscore ("_"), hyphen ("-"), and period (".") characters
Server names must be 1 – 32 characters in length and must begin with an alphanumeric character.
Cluster names must be 1 – 16 characters in length.

If the computer name does not meet these requirements, you have two options for installing SAP Mobile Server on that system:

Workaround 1: Keep the computer name as is:

In the Selecting Installation Options section of the installation task, select the option to Set SAP Mobile Server name (Set SAP Mobile Server name and cluster name in a single-server installation, or for the first SAP Mobile Server node in a cluster).
In the next step, specify a server name that meets the requirements listed in that step

Workaround 1: Before running the installer, change the computer name so that it meets the requirements listed in the next step for a user-entered server name. For a single-server installation or for the first SAP Mobile Server node in a cluster, make sure it also meets the requirements for a user-entered cluster name:

Change the computer name.
Start the installer.
When you reach the Selecting Installation Options section of the installation task, do not select the option to Set SAP Mobile Server name (Set SAP Mobile Server name and cluster name in a single-server installation, or for the first SAP Mobile Server node in a cluster).
