Deactivate Portal server node from Web dispatcher, but still keep online

We want to deactivate a Portal server node from the Web dispatcher. We also need to connect directly to the specific node. 
We configured the Server Node using  Config Tool --> Server_ID####### --> Debug --> Debuggable --> Restricted Load Balancing. The node is not available to the Web dispatcher, However we are unable to explicitly connect to that node. We get the error message in the browser:
503 Service Unavailable
SAP WebAS engine is starting...
If this state does not change within a few minutes,
please contact your system administrator.
Check the recommendations in SAP Notes: 943498, 764417
Message: Dispatcher running but no server connected!
I have also read through the Web dispatcher online Help. They mention creating groups but they all seem to pertain to ABAP groups using SMLG. Our Web dispatcher is used in a strictly J2EE environment.
There must be a Profile setting or some config to restrict specified nodes... Let me know if you have found out?
Thank You,
Jon Sells

Hi PR,
Yes I understand that the Web Dispatchers Job ends at that point. That's why I want to stop the requests at the Web dispatcher by not allowing those nodes to be available.
Here is the situation. We have 3 Windows Servers with 10 Server Nodes spread accros them.
Host A - 2 Server Nodes, Central instance (Message Server) and SQL Server DB.
Host B - 4 Server Nodes.
Host C - 4 Server Nodes.
The Going Live Analysis suggested we move the DB off of the CI. We cannot do that at this time. What we can do is shut down the 2 nodes on Host A. Instead of shutting them down, we would rather remove them from the WD group. that way, our users never connect to the 2 nodes on the CI but Basis can still use them for Administration and those 2 nodes on the CI are never used for production purposes. Those nodes will just be used for monitoring and maintenance or even emergency purposes.
Right now our process to remove the 2 nodes from the Web dispatcher is to connect to the Admin page for Web Dispatcher --> Monitor Server Groups --> Right Click on the Host and select Deactivate. We have to do this whenever the Message Server is retarted. The million dollar question: How can that be set via a startup parameter?
Thanks
Jon Sells
Here is an example of how you can connect to a specific node:

  • How to hide a tree node from the GUI but still keep it in the tree model?

    Hi, All
    I used a JTree in my project in which I have a DefaultTreeModel to store all the tree structure and a JTree show it on the screen. But for some reason, I want to hide some of the nodes from the user, but I don't want to remove them from the tree model because later on I still need to use them.
    I searched on the web, some people suggested method to hide the root node, but that's not appliable to my project because I want to hide some non-root nodes; Some people also suggested to collapse the parent node when there are child to hide, it is not appliable to me either, because there still some other childnodes (sibling of the node to hide) I want to show.
    How can I hide some of the tree node from the user? Thanks for any information.
    Linda

    Here's an example using a derivation of DefaultTreeModel that shows (or does not show) two types of Sneech (appologies to the good Dr Zeus) by overiding two methods on the model.
    Now, there are many things wrong with this example (using instanceof, for example), but it's pretty tight and shows one way of doing what you want.
    Note: to make it useful, you''d have to change the implementation of setShowStarBelliedSneeches() to do something more sophisticated than simply firing a structure change event on the root node. You'd want to find all the star bellied sneech nodes and call fireTreeNodesRemoved(). That way the tree would stay expanded rather than collapse as it does now.

    I currently have a lot of photos on my iPhone(5c) and I need to have more storage. If I delete directly from my phone will they still be available on iCloud?

    before i was using my photo stream and i could access the photos from all the devices but since the last update I only have one album "all photos" and every time i try to delete a photos it says that it will be deleted from iCloud as well. I also tried importing them on my macbook but i can only import 600 photos and on my iPhone there are over 2000 photos.

  • Restarting J2EE server nodes from Developer Studio Vs SAP Management Consol

    Hi,
    What makes the difference between restarting server nodes from Dev Studio and SAP Management console.
    Please let me know if any documents related to this.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    I observed that options for restarting services from Dev Studio are disabled.
    Could you please let me know where we need to configure to enable these options when right click on server instances.
    Thanks

  • There are songs on my icloud that I deleted from my itunes, but still show up on icloud. I want to delete them from icloud, but can't since they don't appear in my itunes!

    I have a large library on icloud- 26203 songs is the count when I'm playing over my apple TV, but my itunes only shows 25989 songs. There are songs on icloud that no longer are in my itunes library, or show up in itunes as being on icloud. I want to delete these songs but can't figure out how. I have reset my itunes match on both my computer and my apple tv to no avail.

    No. It's on and I update it daily.
    When I talk about removing songs from my shuffle play, I'm referring to listening over apple TV. My cloud limit is nearly maxed out, so I am constantly removing/adding songs. That's why I was surprised when I went to delete a song I no longer wanted in the mix and was surprised to find it already deleted from my itunes, but still present in the cloud. I've signed in and out of itunes/and match on apple tv as well, but that didn't remove the tunes in question!

    I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

  • My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

    My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

    If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
    If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    The use family sharing to share apps
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
    Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.
