Importing the SAP Web Dispatcher
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 7.10 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) → SAP KERNEL (32/64Bit, Unicode/non Unicode)7.10 → <OS Platform> → #Database Independent.
You can download the kernel package SAPWEBDISP_<PL>.SAR (SAP Web Dispatcher package), which contains the SAP Web dispatcher (sapwebdisp) and all supplementary programs and libraries.
The SAP Web dispatcher is also contained in kernel packet DW_<PL>.SAR (disp+work package).
To use and monitor the Web dispatcher from the Web Administration Interface, you need packet WDISPADMIN.SAR, which you can find on your kernel CD in packet SAPWEBDISP_<PL>.SAR and on the Service Marketplace. (In earlier releases the same packet was used for this as for the ICM: ICMADMIN.SAR. If the ICM and Web dispatcher have the same release, this is still possible).
With Java-only installations you receive the SAP Web Dispatcher in a package with the Central Services (see Load Balancing Between Many Java Instances).
Although the SAP Web dispatcher can run in any directory, SAP recommends that you install it in a separate directory:
Windows: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAPWebDisp
UNIX: /usr/sap/<SID>/sapwebdisp
Create the directory for this and unpack program sapwebdisp in this directory. Also copy the associated profile file into this directory.
You can Start the SAP Web Dispatcher with the Bootstrap Option, and then the profile file is created at the same time automatically.
