SAP Mobile Platform Windows services run automatically on your host, with many starting up when the host computer is started or when the installation process finishes. Determine what services exist for each runtime component and what dependencies exist among these services.
Depending on the components installed in the cluster you are administering, some of these services may not appear in your list of Windows services; certain data and server components may be installed on different nodes to facilitate redundancy.
If you are routinely starting and stopping SAP Mobile Server, you should use SAP Control Center for that purpose. SAP Control Center allows you to manage local and remote servers from a single location, and is more efficient than starting and stopping with services or desktop shortcuts.
