Clusters

As an organization grows, SAP Mobile Platform administrators need to create a scalable IT infrastructure using clusters. Clustering creates redundant SAP Mobile Platform components on your network to provide a highly scalable and available system architecture.

Organizations can seamlessly achieve high availability and scalability by adding more or redundant instances of core components. Redundant instances of critical components provide transparent failover.

In a production environment, the SAP Mobile Platform deployment typically uses at least one relay server. The connections to relay servers can be configured within a cluster instance from SAP Control Center.

• Cluster-Affecting Configuration Changes
  Before you configure SAP Mobile Servers in a cluster, ensure you understand how changes are synchronized to cluster members.
• Cluster Properties
  Cluster properties let administrators manage server configuration settings for all nodes in the cluster to ensure smooth data exchange between the server and client.
• Configuring Asynchronous Operation Replay Queue Count
  Configure properties of a cluster to control whether asynchronous operation replays are enabled for all cluster packages.
• Viewing Cluster Information
  View cluster information to determine the name and size of the cluster.
• Checking System Licensing Information
  Review licensing information to monitor used mobile device licenses, license expiry dates, and other license details. This information allows administrators to manage license use and determine whether old or unused device licenses should be transferred to new devices.
• Checking Cluster Status
  Verify that a cluster is running.
• Sharing Cluster Information With SAP Servers
  If your SAP Mobile Platform deployment is part of a larger SAP® landscape, review the SLD servers with which cluster information can be shared.
