A Mobile Server Farm is a group of Mobile Servers configured to run against the same repository. Information pertinent to Mobile Server Farms is stored in a table in the Mobile Server Repository.
Your Mobile Server is registered on the Mobile Server Farms page during installation. To register the current instance of a Mobile Server, the following information is inserted into the repository.
Mobile Server Instance ID
Hostname
Protocol
IP Address
Port
Status
Start Time
Version
Install Date
The Mobile Server Farms page contains Mobile Server and Mobile Devices tabs. The following sections describe each component of the Mobile Server Farm. Topics include:
The Mobile Servers tab lists all Mobile Servers that are configured to run against the same repository. As Figure 3-4 displays, this page lists Mobile Server information such as Host name, Port, SSL enabled, Up or Down Status, the MGP instance, start time of the instance, and Mobile Server version.
If a Mobile Server instance is not running (status column displays down), the hyperlink for such host names is not enabled. If this page is refreshed after a Mobile Server instance is started or stopped (by clicking on Mobile Server link), the Mobile Server's status is reflected on this page. Using search criteria based on host name, you can filter the Mobile Server display list.
The Mobile Server provides mobile application management and configuration functions. It groups existing mobile servers in a Mobile Server farm and manages mobile applications developed for every mobile server through the utility known as the Mobile Manager. The following sections describe the Mobile Manager's components.
