Configuring SAP Web Dispatcher for Search
To enable the search for business objects in the launchpad, you need to make some special settings for the SAP Web Dispatcher.
Note You only need to make these settings if your frontend system and client (where you log on) are different from the search backend system and
client.
Add the embedded search backend system as follows to the sapwebdisp.pfl profile:
wdisp/system_<NUM> = SID=<BE SID>, EXTSRV=<BE HOST>:<BE PORT>, SRCSRV=<RD PORTS>, SRCURL=/sap/es/ina/;/ENTERPRISE_SEARCH/, CLIENT=052
This table explains the variables used in the profile entry above:
| Variable | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| <NUM> | Number of the profile entry | 8 |
| <BE SID> | SID of the search backend | ES1 |
| <BE HOST> | Host of the search backend | searchhost.acme.corp |
| <BE PORT> | HTTP or HTTPS port of the search backend | 47110 |
| <RD PORTS> | Ports to be redirected | *:54380;*:40280;*:54390 |
| <BE CLIENT> | Client of the search backend | 001 |
In addition, create the following external alias in the search backend system using transaction SICF:
/enterprise_search/sap/public/bc/icf/logoff pointing to default_host/sap/public/bc/icf/logoff
