Problem: No list of SAP Mobile Server displays in SAP Control Center. Instead, an Error Retrieving Server List message appears in the left navigation pane.
Scenario 1: No other error message appears.
Solution: Manually register the remote server. By default, only SAP Mobile Servers installed to the same host computer are automatically registered with SAP Control Center. See Getting Started with SAP Mobile Server Administration in the SAP Control Center online help. If you have recently made changes to the environment, for example, by modifying server resource properties (login, password, host name, IP address, or port number), ensure that you reauthenticate after making the changes.
Scenario 2: The right administration pane shows an Authentication has failed error message.
Solution: In the Perspective Resources view, right click the server name and select Authenticate. In the default configuration, if you have used "supAdmin" to log in to SAP Control Center, select Use my current SAP Control Center login.
Solution: Update server resource properties, and repeat the "Authenticate" step described above. See the topic SAP Control Center Fails to Start.
Scenario 3: The right administration pane shows a Connection unknown. Ensure Server is running.... message.
Solution: Check SMP_HOME\Servers\UnwiredServer\logs\<hostname>-server.log for details.
Solution: Ensure that the security provider is running and that its host is reachable from the SAP Control Center host.
Scenario 4: In some rare cases, the connection between SAP Control Center and SAP Mobile Server cannot be established after trying the previous recommendations.
Solution: You may need to stop and restart the SAP Control Center X.X windows service. After stopping the window service, make sure the process uaservices.exe is not running (or stop it from Windows task manager). Then log in to SAP Control Center again.
Scenario 5: This may happen if you upgraded SAP Mobile Platform to a newer version, and changed the server host name.
Change the listener prefix of httpListeners and iiopListeners for the new hostname in the new server's properties file:
Repository\Instance\com\sybase\djc\server\ApplicationServer\default.properties, <new_hostname>.properties
