Backing Up Server Configuration Data

You should perform regular backups of server configuration data so that it can be restored if there is a host system file corruption.

SAP Mobile Platform Server configuration data is a combination of file system properties, Windows registry settings, and database data.. Back up the following:

Windows registry settings located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\MobilePlatform\3.0.
Keystore and certificates located in SMP_HOME\SAP\MobilePlatform3\Server\configuration\smp_keystore.jks.
The server database located in SMP_HOME\SAP\MobilePlatform3\Server\db. Back up the database using the vendor's recommended database backup procedures. Perform database backups on a regular basis to ensure the integrity of the backup and limit the size of the database transaction logs.
Note: Derby is not a supported production database.

Note: To reduce downtime, you can install a secondary server on a passive host, which can be immediately started upon failure of the primary active host. The practice of running an active/active spare configuration is not recommended in this version of SAP Mobile Platform as the application server in-memory cache is not currently synchronized between nodes.
