SAP Mobile Platform Server (On Premise)

Component	More Information
SAP Mobile Platform Server	For detailed information on how to design your system landscape and install the software in test and production environments, see the SAP Mobile Platform Server documentation at http://help.sap.com/mobile-platform. For release information, see SAP Note 1904213 .
Persistence database	The persistence database stores metadata – data about the data that passes through the SAP Mobile Platform system. SAP Mobile Platform Server includes a database that is intended for use in a development or proof-of-concept installation only. Use a custom database for your production installation. For information about supported databases, see SAP Note 1934552 .
Reverse proxy	A reverse proxy is used to provide mobile device users access to on-premise SAP Mobile Platform servers that are situated behind the corporate firewall. For this purpose, the reverse proxy is installed in a DMZ area. The reverse proxy can also be used to balance the load among several SAP Mobile Platform servers. You can use SAP Web Dispatcher or a third party reverse proxy such as Apache HTTP Server. If you use a third party reverse proxy, see the manufacturer documentation for installation information. For information on supported reverse proxies, see SAP Note 1904213 . The installation procedure for SAP Web Dispatcher is provided by the software provisioning tool SAPInst. The installation also requires the corresponding Unicode kernel archive. You can download both the software provisioning tool and the kernel archive from the Software Logistics Toolset page at http://service.sap.com/sltoolset. If you use SAP Web Dispatcher as the reverse proxy, we recommend using the latest version. See SAP Note 908097 for release information.
