SAP® Mobile Platform Server features SAP Lean Java Server, a lightweight OSGi based application server.
This OSGi framework is a modular system and services platform for Java that implements a dynamic component model. The service registry included in the framework allows bundles to detect the addition of new services, or the removal of services, and adapt accordingly, eliminating the need for bulky backup and recovery data.
This release of SAP Mobile Platform Server standardizes on the OData data model and HTTP protocol to provide common platform services to all applications with a unified authentication framework, policies and user/role management.
SAP Mobile Platform Server includes an updated administrative user interface based on HTML5. This new UI allows for faster application deployment, onboarding and configuration, and access to more graphic analytics, providing a richer overall experience for the admin user.
This release also introduces a multilayered approach for data integration that ensures seamless access to enterprise data systems for both internal and external mobile device users, while also ensuring that data transfer remains secure.
