Installation

The SAP Web Dispatcher is initially installed using the SAPinst installation program. This initial installation is described in the installation guide. You can find this in SAP Service Marketplace under http://service.sap.com/instguidesNW.

Here, choose  Installation Installation Standalone Engines .

Here you can download the Web Dispatcher installation guide for your platform.

Importing Patches

If you want to import the current version of the SAP Web Dispatcher, you can find this on SAP Service Marketplace under http://service.sap.com/patches in the 7.20 kernel directory.

To do this, choose  Support Packages and Patches — Entry by Application Group Additional Components SAP Kernel SAP KERNEL (32/64Bit, Unicode/non Unicode) SAPKERNEL 7.20 64–bit <OS>_<platform> Database independent

You can download kernel package SAPWEBDISP_<PL>.SAR( SAP Web Dispatcher package), which contains the SAP Web Dispatcher (sapwebdisp)and all supplementary programs and libraries.

To monitor and administer the Web Dispatcher using the Web Administration Interface, you need packet WDISPADMIN.SAR, which you can also find in package SAPWEBDISP_<PL>.SAR on the kernel CD or on the SAP Service Marketplace. (In earlier releases the same package was used for this as for the ICM: ICMADMIN.SAR. If ICM and Web Dispatcher are the same release, this is still possible.)

The SAP Web Dispatcher must be installed in a separate directory, for example:

Create the directory for this and unpack archive SAPWEBDISP_<PL>.SAR into this directory. Also copy the associated profile file into this directory. To do this, parameter DIR_EXECUTABLE in the instance profile of the Web Dispatcher must be set to the selected directory.

You can Start the SAP Web Dispatcher with the Bootstrap Option, and then the profile file is created at the same time automatically.
