Step-by-step instructions on how to configure the SAP Web Dispatcher for the back-end systems using profile parameter wdisp/system_<xx>.
SAP Web Dispatcher can be put in front of one or mulitple back-end systems. Only one SAP Web Dispatcher has to be configured and maintained. From the URL the SAP Web Dispatcher identifies the back-end system the request was destined for. The SAP Web Dispatcher is configured with profile parameter wdisp/system_<xx>. The profile parameter overrides the two parameters rdisp/mshost and ms/server_port, which are used to configure a single SAP system. The profile parameter has the following syntax:
wdisp/system_<xx> = SID=<sap-sid>, { MSHOST=<ms-host>, {MSPORT=<ms-http-port>, | MSSPORT=<ms-https-port>,} [NR=<scs-sys-no>,] [SCSHOST=<scs-host>,] [CLIENT=<target-client>,] | XSSRV=<hana-xs-server-list>, | [PINGURL=<ping-path>,] EXTSRV=<external-server-list>, [STICKY={true|false}] [PROXY=<proxy-url>,] | SILOC=file://<filename>, } { SRCSRV=<source-services>, SRCURL=<source-urls>, SRCVHOST=<virtual-hosts>, } [SSL_ENCRYPT={0|1|2},] [CONFIG_PROTOCOL={http|https},] [STANDARD_COOKIE_FILTER={<filter-expression>|ON|OFF},] [SSL_CLIENT_PSE=<filename of client PSE>,] [SSL_IGNORE_HOST_MISMATCH={true|false},] [SSL_CERTHOST=<hostname>,] [RUNLEVEL={ stopped|running|internal},] [CACHE_INFO_URL=<path> [, CACHE_INFO_POLL_INTERVAL=<interval in seconds>],]
Profile parameter wdisp/system_<xx> offers you many configuration options. A combination of the following subparameters is used for the configuration: SID, MSHOST, MSPORT, MSSPORT, XSSRV, EXTSRC, SILOC, NR, SCSHOST, CLIENT, SRCSRV, SRCURL, SSL_ENCRYPT, CONFIG_PROTOCOL, STANDARD_COOKIE_FILTER, PROXY, STICKY, PINGURL, SSL_CLIENT_PSE, SSL_IGNORE_HOST_MISMATCH, SSL_CERTHOST, RUNLEVEL, CACHE_INFO_URL, and CACHE_INFO_POLL_INTERVAL.
Not all subparameters can be combined with one another. The table below contains an overview of the combination options:
Place for Meta Information | Mandatory Subparameter | Optional Subparameter |
---|---|---|
MSHOST |
|
|
XSSRV |
|
|
EXTSRV |
|
|
SILOC |
|
|
The following steps are optional.
The following options specify which requests the SAP Web Dispatcher forwards to this system. The table above contains the combination options of the subparameters.
If you specified both SRCSRV and SRCURL, you must make sure that the port and the URL prefix correspond with the system selection.
If you omit SRCSRV and SRCURL, the Web Dispatcher only works if you have set rules in the action file for forwarding requests to the connected systems. If you explicitly want the ambiguity between the systems, you have to set SRCSRV=*:* or SRCURL=/, and change profile parameter (wdisp/system_conflict_resolution = 2) to: wdisp/system_conflict_resolution = 2.
