Starting and Stopping SAP Mobile Server

You can start and stop SAP Mobile Server in different ways, depending on the use context.

Review this table to understand which method you should use.

Method	Use When	Services Started or Stopped
SAP Control Center SAP Mobile Server list	Stopping or starting remote SAP Mobile Server nodes	SAP Mobile Server service only
Desktop shortcut	Stopping or starting SAP Mobile Server locally	All runtime services installed on that host
Windows Services panel	Stopping or starting SAP Mobile Server locally	Any combination of individual services that require stopping
