Administer

Use SAP Control Center for SAP Mobile Platform to administer and configure components of a cluster registered as a managed resource. When you configure cluster components you are setting up the elements required to mobilize your data. Once configured you perform ongoing administration tasks to maintain the environment.

• 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.
• Relay Server
  Relay Server acts as a reverse proxy for client devices communicating with the SAP Mobile Server cluster, and it provides load balancing for the SAP Mobile Server cluster.
• SAP Mobile Server
  The SAP Mobile Platform runtime server is called SAP Mobile Server. SAP Mobile Server is an instance of SAP Mobile Server installed as the application server to manage resource intensive traffic/communication/transactions, such as PUSH payload and synchronization, between the scale-out nodes and the data server cluster. SAP Mobile Server can be installed as a cluster. In a production environment, the SAP Mobile Server must be installed on a 64-bit host.
• Domains
  Domains provide a logical partitioning of a hosting organization's environment that achieves increased flexibility and granularity of control in multitenant environments. By default, the installer creates a single domain named "default."
• Security Configurations
  SAP Mobile Platform does not provide proprietary security systems for storing and maintaining users and access control rules, but delegates these functions to the enterprise’s existing security solutions.
• Applications
  An application consists of two parts: the software user interface that consumes enterprise data from one or more data sources, and the definition created in SAP Control Center that allows the mobile application to be recognized by the runtime. Depending on the application type, the application definition on the server can establish the relationship among packages used in the application, the domain that the application is deployed to, the activation code for the application, and other application specific settings.
