Web Dispatcher configuration (ABAP+Java vs. ABAP+Portal)

We are using an internal Web Dispatcher to allow the connections from different networks.
This Webdispatcher entry we add to WAS configuration within Portal system object
By defintion of ABAP+Java double stack we do not have any problems and the test
http://webpispatcher:port/sap/bc/ping is successful.
When we have a ABAP system + Portal (Java) we only can test the connection
http://webpispatcher:port/
When we execute the test
http://webpispatcher:port/sap/bc/ping we get an error, because the url goes to Java stack.
We also detected that on Web Dispatcher configuration for ABAP+Java we have ABAP and J2EE server groups and  application servers.
For ABAP+Portal we have only J2EE groups on Web Dispatcher configuration.
Question:
Which SAP parameter (e.g. ms/server_port_0, icm/HTTP/j2ee_0) or Web Dispatcher parameter (ms/http_port) is responsible for generation of ABAP groups (e.g. PUBLIC) within Web Dispatcher?

Which SAP parameter (e.g. ms/server_port_0, icm/HTTP/j2ee_0) or Web Dispatcher parameter (ms/http_port) is responsible for generation of ABAP groups (e.g. PUBLIC) within Web Dispatcher?
In ABAP the logon group is handled by the ICF. In SICF you specify within the actual services(properties) which logon group that service should use for load balancing. As far as I remember though there is an exception if you are using an "end-to-end" ssl configuration where you can specify the destination logon group using wdisp/HTTPS/dest_logon_group parameter.
rdisp/mshost is the parameter on your web dispatcher that points to your message server to get a list of available logon groups.

  • Web Dispatcher configured but not working

    Hi,
    We wish to configure SAP Web Dispatcher as a reverse proxy. For this we've installed using sapinst SAP Web Dispatcher Version 7.00.11, multithreaded, ASCII, 64 BIT Patch Level 140 which was manally updated to SAP Web Dispatcher Version 7.10.1, multithreaded, ASCII, 64 BIT Patch Level 152.
    The SAP Web Dispatcher server is in DMZ whereas the Enterprise Portal servers are in the intranet.
    The updated SAP Web Dispatcher is available in /sapmnt/<SID>/exe and not in a seperate directory (/usr/sap/<SID>/sapwebdisp) as per SAP note 908097. The SAP Web Dispatcher has been installed on a standalone machine with instance number 00.
    I've configured the Sap Web dispatcher with the -bootstrap option. The -checkconfig option completes with 0 warning 0 errors.
    The TCP ports between SAP Web Dispatcher and Enterprise Portal servers are opened in the firewall. Also, required ports 22 & 8100 are opened from my computer to the SAP Web Dispatcher Server.
    Yet when I try to connect to the administrator interface with the URL http://<Web_Disp_IP>:8100/sap/wdisp/admin/default.html, I receive the following text on the browser:
    Network Error (tcp_error)
    A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
    The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.
    Similar message is received even if the SAP Web Dispatcher is installed in a seperate directory.
    Has anyone come across a similar issue?
    Thanks.

  • SAP Web Dispatcher Configuration guide for Windows

  • WebAS access via Portal: Web Dispatcher required for load balancing ABAP

    Hi Folks -
    We have EP 6.0 SP18 (Java only, WebAS 6.40, Unix/Solaris).  The portal has a CI/SCS and one DI so we have a Web Dispatcher to load balance the portal servers. This works fine (and provides port 80 access).
    This portal will provide access to HTTP services from an ABAP WebAS (6.20 with 6.40 kernel, Unix/Solaris). A landscape configuration entry has been added to the portal for this ABAP system. The ABAP system has a CI and multiple app servers, all capable of handling HTTP requests.  This will also require port 80 access.
    1. Will we need an additional Web Dispatcher to load balance HTTP requests to the 'backend' ABAP WebAS system, or will the portal be smart enough to handle the load balancing itself (perhaps based on the information in the landscape configuration)?
    2. If the portal itself handles the HTTP load balancing can you point me to documentation (so I can make sure I have proper configuration)? 
    3. Are there any changes to this with NW2004s Portal (we plan to upgrade soon)?
    Thanks in advance!  Jeff

    Jeff,
    Regarding:
    Q1. If you create a system object from the "SAP system with load balancing" template in portal and configure the object to point to your CI (msg server), the LB should be handled.
    Q2. Portal load balancing is handled by the message server.  If you point a test URL to the port of your message server, you will notice that you are issued a redirect the URL of your dialog instance.  The web dispatcher is just a proxy (with some intelligence).  When a request is made to the WD, it makes a connection to the MSG server, the list of active instances is queried, a redirect is made to that instanct.  If you use WD, that connection can be proxied behind a standard URL.   If you connect directly to the MSG Server instead, you will notice your URL change, just as it does on the service marketplace.
    WDs are good for providing services, masked (proxied) behind virtual names.  If you do not want the customer to see a physical URL of the server, use the WD.  There are lots of other solutions that can do this too though such as Apache, ISA, Juniper devices, Cisco LDs.  WDs have a very low performance threshold though, especially if you use SSL. WD is a performance bottleneck and should be benchmarked to see if it is right for your application.
    Q3. No changes this architecture in 04s.

  • Abap+java stack for Portal 7.0 and MI - User Data Source

    The SAP pre-requisites for Portal and MI (Mobile Infrastructure) 7.0 is an ABAP and Java Stack. If you install an AS ABAP + Java, the UME is automatically set up to use the ABAP user management of the same AS installation. What does this mean? The user store will be created in ABAP, for both the Portal and MI.
    The impact of this is portal users management is in ABAP. This configuration by design cannot be connected to LDAP Active directory for user authentication.
    Please let me know , if some body had already face similar issue and come up with the solution.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Surya ,
    When you install portal or any NW component with ABAP stack , ABAP stack hold precidence over the JAVA Stack , refer to this link to have more idea on this .

  • ESS/MSS sso configure between java and abap instance

    Dear Gurus,
    I want to configure sso between java and abap instance for ESS/MSS. I couldnt find any guide for it, could you please help me gurus ?
    Other question is, is there any specific role for ESS/MSS users in JAVA instance. I want to create users and assign this role to them.
    Best Regards

    Hi Kemal,
    Hope you are doing good.
    There should be a / in the ITS path before SAP.
    Basically the entry that you have mentioned here should be accessible via browser as well. For eg in your case:
    http://<its hist name>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui should be accessible over browser.
    I also think you have put in a extra space in "w  ebgui". It should be "webgui".
    If the connector settings are working, then we can be sure that system connection is fine. You do not need to configure ITS settings.
    Also for SSO, refer the SAP note:1083421 and configure the SS0 settings again.
    Please run the SSO2 wizard and then make the automatic connection to
    the abap server. This will solve any inconsistencies on the server
    due to manual interventions.
    Most likely reason for the error is that certificates were loaded
    manually rather than using SSO wizard.
    More help:
    <http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/Troubleshooting+SSO+between+AS-ABAP+and+AS-JAVA>
    The SSO enabling parameters should be set on the R/3 server.

  • SAP Web Dispatcher Configuration in a FPN

    Hi all,
    We are using SAP Web Dispatcher 720 (latest patch 85).
    We are having a FPN network. One consumer portal, with  more than 5 producer portal (ECC JAVA, BW JAVA..etc) and more than 5 different backends (ECC, BW, SRM..etc)
    We are using SSL termination at the web dispatcher.
    We have configured all our consumer, producer, backends in  our web dispatcher instance,  to use the domain name with different ports.
    Eg :
    https://domainname.com - refers to our consumer portal
    https://domainname.com:7110 - refers to our producer portal 1
    https://domainname.com:7111 - refers to our producer portal 2
    https://domainname.com:6100 - refers to our ABAP backend system 1
    https://domainname.com:6111 - refers to our ABAP backend system 2 ..etc..,
    by configuring so, we are facing lots of page not found issue intermittenly, as SAPlb cookies are passed incorrectly, since all refers to the same domain name (it ignores the different ports).
    Can someone helps us to narrate how to configure web dispatcher which suites our  FPN network. We can't go for different URLs for each system, as it requires more than 16 URLs and 16 web dispatcher instances.
    Can someone share their experience
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello Ravi,
    Try to include directory 'admin' within directory
    'sapwebdisp'.
    You can let sapwebdisp create a sapwebdisp.pfl on your
    behalf with option '-bootstrap'.
    You will see the password for user 'icmadm'.
    and this line
    "icm/HTTP/admin_0 = PREFIX=/sap/wdisp/admin,DOCROOT=./admin"
    Then you use URL
    'http://sapwedisphost:<xxxx>/sap/wdisp/admin/default.html'
    See this documentation in
    'http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b4/9aa8862e714e6db8e74e48e5d3283b/frameset.htm'

  • SAP Web Dispatcher Configuration (SSL, certificates)

    Hi all,
    We're trying to configure the SAP Web Dispatcher for the use of SSL (terminated) and client authentication using x.509 certificates. All works (almost)fine. However, there's some strange behavior that I can not explain.
    The following access point have been specified in the profile:
    Description of the Access Points
    icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTPS, PORT=443, TIMEOUT=15
    icm/server_port_2 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=83, TIMEOUT=15
    icm/HTTPS/verify_client = 2
    Basicly we only need users to access the web dispatcher using SSL. However, when I remove the line: icm/server_port_2 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=83, TIMEOUT=15
    The Web Dispatcher returns an error upon accessing it using HTTPS:
    Dispatching Error
    Error: -26
    Version: 6040
    Component: HTTP_ROUTE
    Date/Time: Tue Mar 14 07:19:38 2006

    Hi KS,
    Maybe you were right afterall I found a nice How to on the servce.sap.com (https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000073632&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202) and it seems you do have to add the HTTP server_port parameter in case SSL is being terminated (no re-encryption).
    icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTPS, PORT=443, TIMEOUT=15
    icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=0, TIMEOUT=15
    However, the trick is to set the port to zero (0), that way you can still only access the Web Dispatcher via HTTPS.
    All is working now.

  • Web Dispatcher and SSL on ABAP+Java

    Hello,
    Have installed SAP web dispatcher on WAS 6.40 ABAP+Java system. Communicating with Portal SP16 system.
    The HTTP works fine. Have not been able to get SSL working with web dispatcher.
    For troubleshooting activated ITS on this system and HTTPS works fine with ITS webgui.
    Have followed the "how to" SSL for web dispatcher guide.
    Also should mention that we have generated certificate requests and PSE's but our organization has not yet chosen a certificate authority to sign the cerficates. For other scenarios (log onto Portal, XI, etc) the only difference is the certifcate warning dialog, otherwise works fine.  Would this cause a problem for Web Dispatcher?
    Trying the SSL end to end scenario receive
    WARNING: Could not start service 0 for protocol HTTPS on host "max-sap" on all adapters
    Is there anything
    unique for the ABAP+Java configuration?
    Thanks,
    Alan

    I solved this problem by setting the following profile parameter on my webdispatcher profile.
    wdisp/ssl_ignore_host_mismatch = true
    Doesn't fix the underlying problem but got me going until I can figure it out.

  • Could not connect to backend system through portal via Web Dispatcher

    Web dispatcher redirecting problem
    Dear Experts,
    I have implemented a scenario which comprised of customizing that is developed in Portal EP7. What customizing does is getting report from backend system (ERP 6.0)
    According to the needs for reaching the portal from internet I configured the SAP Web Dispatcher in the environment as you may see its contents below.
    The problem is when I run the customizing in portal system then it requires connecting to backend system (ECC 6.0) to get the data (report). But from this point on web browser comes to a blank page, could not view the data that is from backend system via portal. Because in the time when it tries to retrieve data in backend system, on the left bottom of the explorer the indicator shows internet address that system uses connecting to the backend system as local network address of the backend system which is not known in internet therefore I get blank page.
    The question is how to configure the web dispatcher in a way that both portal and backend systems could be reachable from internet?

    Hi,
    To resovle this you must have registered FQDN for your backend system as well. When you call the report from Portal using internet it should call that FQDN of your backend system then DNS will resolve this & you will get the expected page. This way only you can resolve this issue.

  • Web Dispatcher - SSL - Portal

    Hi,
    I have configured Web Dispatcher for SSL Termination to the portal. When I go to my https://... Web Dispatcher address, the portal comes up but the address in the browser changes to http://....
    What could the problem be? Why is the Web Dispatcher terminating the SSL between it & the browser? There's nothing in the trace file that indicates a problem.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Jane

    Hi Jane Tooke,
                          In the profile file of web dispatcher which is " sapwebdisp.pfl " located in the sapwebdisp directory, please check if the following parameter exists. This parameter describes how the inbound connections are handled by web dispatcher.
    wdisp/ssl_encrypt
    the possible values for this parameter are < 0, 1, 2 >
    wdisp/ssl_encrypt = 0 ( this means the SSL is terminated when sending to the 
                                       back end server )
    wdisp/ssl_encrypt = 1 ( the SSL is terminated and then SSL encrypted again by
                                       webdispatcher )
    wdisp/ssl_encrypt = 2  ( the SSL is not terminated and request is sent encrypted
                                         to the back end )
    The default value of this parameter is " 0 " . So, set it as appropriate to solve your purpose. Please refer to the following link to find more explanation about each of the profile parameters of the web dispatcher.

  • Cisco Load balancer and Web Dispatcher to the same portal

    Hello Experts,
    We have implemented intranet portal with Cisco as the load balancer. Now we need to expose this intranet to the outside world as an extranet portal. So the same portal will be accessed from both intranet and from outside. We are thinking of installing a web dispatcher in the DMZ so that outside users can access the Web Dispatcher URL to access the intranet portal. In effect intranet users will use load balancer and extranet users will use Web Dispatcher to access the same portal. Now my question is if we configure Load Balancer and Web Dispatcher to the same portal, will the portal be able to load balance properly? Is this the right approach?
    Thank You,
    mansooralip1

    Dear Andrew,
    We need to provide access to our intranet to some outside companies for them to also use some of our portal applications. As per your answer, I understand that I can configure Web Disptacher to talk to the Cisco Load Balancer of our portal. In this case Web Dispatcher will work just as a reverse proxy. But when I discussed this with one of our basis resource, he told me that when we install and configure Web Dispatcher, it always ask for the Message Server URL and Port number, even if I just want to use Web Dispatcher as a Reverse Proxy. If his concerns are valid, I do not think I will be able to configure Web Dispatcher to access the cisco Load Balancer because I cannot put Cisco load banacer URL and port instead of the Message Server URL and Post Number. Can you kindly share your comment on the same?
    Now the second part of my question, if Web Dispatcher cannot be configured to talk to Load Balancer(as mentioned by our basis resource), I will have to use two load balancers. One web Dispatcher in DMZ as a Load Balancer *** Reverse Proxy for the external users. Second the internal Cisco Load Balancer for the intranet users. So the same portal will be accessed by two load balancers. My question here is, in this set up, can the portal work efficieintly here by distributing equal loads two both the server instances?
    Thank You,

  • Web dispatcher redirects to Message Server

    Hello SDN members.
    Iu2019m using web dispatcher in front of a ABAP+JAVA installation. When Iu2019m tracing (HTTP) requests from the portal that are aimed to the ABAP WAS (usually requests to the webgui service) I can see the following:
    1. the request are first directed to port 8100 (message server)
    2. and then redirected to port 8000 (its)
    Is this normal? Iu2019m aware that the Web Dispatcher uses the message server for information regarding load balancing, but is this redirect necessary? If not, how can I avoid it? From what i have seen in the SAP documentation, Web Dispatcher sends the requests to the ICM directly. Maybe I am missing something here.
    Thank you very much for your time.

    Hello Allaine,
    Thanks for your answer. It really clarifies the process. However I would like to elaborate a bit on a gray (for me) spot:
    SAP suggests that you should use Web Dispatcher as an HTTP Load Balancer (especially when a portal is used) and not the Message Server. Since that is what we are trying to do, I expected not to see any u201Cactionu201D on the Message Server port (8100 - even though the Web Dispatcher uses the Message Server for information regarding available servers, I thought that this would happen in the background). My expectations are based on the Web Dispatcher documentation where it is stated that:
    Unlike [HTTP Load Balancing Using the SAP Message Server|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/c5935087b62d66e10000000a42189c/content.htm], redirects are not executed when the SAP Web dispatcher is used. This avoids the associated disadvantages (several IP addresses must be known, book marking is not possible, authentication after changing the application server).
    So, what you meant in your post is that when the message server is accessed the HTTP balancing has already taken place? Or not?
    Also as stated in Note [857596|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/857596] HTTP 301 is sent by the Message Server when Load Balancing takes place. Thatu2019s why I said I want to avoid the redirection . I would like to comply with SAP directive to use the Web Dispatcher for HTTP Load Balancing and not the Message Server.
    any suggestion is valuable!
    Giorgos.

  • Error SAP Web Dispatcher

    Buenas tardes estimados,
    Configure el web dispatcher con solman pero el webdispatcher solo me permite acceder a los servicios del stack de java que corren en el puerto 50000 pero no me deja ver los servicios abap de la SICF que corren en el puerto 8000 alguno tendra una idea de porque ocurre esto? y como puedo solucionarlo?

    Hola Diego,
    Te comento si estan corriendo perfectamente mis servicios de la sicf por el puerto 8000 y los de java por el 50000 mi ms/http_port es el 8101 lo que pasa es que el web dispatcher solo me detecta el stack de java no me detecta el stack de abap por ende puedo acceder a cualquier servicio que corra en el puerto 50000 pero a los que corren en el puerto 8000 que son los de abap no le llego por el webdisp porque el mismo no me esta detectando el stack de abap.
    Pude observar que al introducir esta url http://ServidorDeSolman:8101/msgserver/text/logon obtengo este resultado:
    version 1.0
    J2EE4070400
    J2EE       ServidorDeSolman     50000     LB=1

    JC_MIASRV00_LCS_00
    ServidorDeSolman     50018
    Como podemos observar solo arroja info del stack de java y los puertos java pero no arroja la info del stack de ABAP.
    Tambien por el webdisp realice esta prueba via linea de comandos en el cmd:
    C:\usr\sap\WEB\SYS\profile>sapwebdisp -checkconfig pf=WEB_W02_MIASRV00

    Pareciera que debo agregar algun parametro en el webdisp que indique que el sistema es dual stack pero de verdad no tengo idea si sea ese el problema y cual seria el parametro.
    Alguna idea de que se puede hacer?
    Muchas gracias por la ayuda
