Adding or Updating SAP Mobile Server Registration Properties

By default SAP Control Center automatically detects and registers clusters and SAP Mobile Server nodes as managed resources The resource entry named 'localhost' is created for the local server upon installation. However, under certain conditions, you need to manually register new clusters or nodes, or modify existing entries.

Prerequisites

You must manually create a new registration entry when:

a cluster or node is not located within your network.
a cluster or node is not automatically detected and registered in the SAP Control Center Resource Explorer.

You must manually update an existing registration entry when you modify the management port for the SAP Mobile Server configuration. You must update the resource properties to match the new values.

Note: When modifying the hostname of the resource, you need to reauthenticate the resource.

Task

For information on these conditions, see When Manual Managed Resource Property Changes Are Needed.

Choose your action:
- To register a new resource, on the SAP Control Center menu, select Resource > Register.
- To update the resource properties, on the SAP Control Center menu, select View > Select > Perspective Resources view. Then in the Name column, click EntryName > Properties.
Configure any of these properties, depending on you initial action:
- the resource name and type
- a description
- host name and port of the server
  The host name and port must match those configured for the SAP Mobile Server management port.
If you changed hostname, reauthenticate the server:
1. Click EntryName > Clear Authentication to remove currently validated credentials to the previous host values.
2. Click EntryName > Authenticate to reauthenticate with the current host values.
Once authenticated, you can now manage it from SAP Control Center: click EntryName > Manage to launch the SAP Mobile Platform management console.
