Configuring MobileFirst Server
Consider your backup and recovery policy, optimize your MobileFirst Server configuration, and apply access restrictions and security options.
- Backup and recovery
You can back up the customization and the content (adapters and applications) outside the MobileFirst instance, for example in a source control system. - Disaster recovery: active-active topology
How to enable disaster recovery and high availability with IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation by deploying an active-active topology. - Optimization and tuning of MobileFirst Server
Optimize the MobileFirst Server configuration by tuning the allocation of Java™ virtual machine (JVM) memory, HTTP connections, back-end connections, and internal settings. - Optimization of MobileFirst Server project databases
You can improve the performance of the project databases or schemas that support MobileFirst Server. - Testing MobileFirst Server performance
You can run performance tests on the different features of the MobileFirst Server. This section describes how to run the Apache jMeter performance test tool, but the procedure is similar for other tools. - Security configuration
Configure the security of the MobileFirst Server as detailed here. - Transmitting MobileFirst data on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server MDS channel
If you install IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation in an environment that includes a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you can use the BlackBerry MDS channel to transmit MobileFirst data. - Integration with IBM WebSphere DataPower as a security gateway and reverse proxy
Protect your mobile-application traffic by using IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® as a reverse proxy and security gateway in the DMZ between client applications and MobileFirst Server. - Configuring MobileFirst Server to enable TLS V1.2
For MobileFirst Server to communicate with devices that support only TLS V1.2, among the SSL protocols, you must complete the following instructions. - Configuring SSL between MobileFirst adapters and back-end servers by using self-signed certificates
You can configure SSL between MobileFirst adapters and back-end servers by importing the server self-signed SSL certificate to the MobileFirst keystore. - Configuring SSL by using untrusted certificates
Making SSL work between instances of IBM MobileFirst Platform Server and clients with certificates that are not signed by a known public certificate authority (CA) can be challenging. Each mobile platform has its own peculiarities and enforces different portions of the transport layer security (TLS) standard at different times. - Handling MySQL stale connections
You can configure your application server to avoid MySQL timeout issues. - Handling DB2 and Oracle stale connections
You can configure your application server to avoid DB2® and Oracle timeout issues. - Managing the DB2 transaction log size
When you deploy an application that is at least 40 MB with IBM MobileFirst Platform Operations Console, you might receive a transaction log full error.
