Starting the SAP Web Dispatcher with the Bootstrap Option 

Use

The bootstrap option is used to start the SAP Web dispatcher without the profile file. This file is then created automatically.

Procedure

       1.      In the command field enter

sapwebdisp –bootstrap 

       2.      Enter message server details required by the bootstrap to create the profile. Before the profile is created, the message server details are checked. If necessary you can correct the data.

Hostname of Message Server (rdisp/mshost): binmain

HTTP Port of Message Server (ms/http_port): sapmsBIN

Checking connection to message server...

ERROR: No data from msg_server received -

please check that sapmsBIN is the HTTP port and not the native Message Server port

Do you want to continue with these settings? n

Hostname of Message Server (rdisp/mshost): binmain

HTTP Port of Message Server (ms/http_port): 8081

Checking connection to message server...OK 

In this example an incorrect HTTP port of the message server was entered and then corrected.

       3.      Specify the scenario in which the Web dispatcher is to run: with a small (s), medium (m; default) or large (l) system. The parameters are preconfigured accordingly. The number of sockets in the system are also checked.

HTTP port number for SAP Web Dispatcher: 8855

Create configuration for s(mall), m(edium), l(arge) system (default: medium): l

WARNING: Maximum number of sockets supported on this system: 1021

Please check the operating system configuration  

Here the system is warning you because the operating system only supports 1021 sockets and this is not enough for a large installation.

       4.      Unpack the files for the Web administration as described in Operation of the SAP Web Dispatcher  ® Setting Up the Web Administration Interface.

Result

The bootstrap carries out the following steps:

...

...

       1.      Generates the profile sapwebdisp.pfl (if it does not already exist)

       2.      Creates a user for the Web administration in file icmauth.txt  (if it does not already exist) and an eight character random password.

The output might look like this:

Authentication file "icmauth.txt" generated

Web Administration user is "icmadm" with password "RdUAs27F"

Restart sapwebdisp with profile: sapwebdisp.pfl

sapwebdisp started with new pid 20435 

       3.      Starts the SAP Web dispatcher with the generated profile

The SAP Web dispatcher is running.

You can now Monitor it.
