Wgate config url not functioning

Question

In sap note 688295 it tells you to
Using the WGate Configuration Tool
change file ItsRegistryWGATE.xml (in e.g. c:\program files\sap\its\6.20\config)
search for "<value name="ConfigMonitorEnabled" type="text">no</value>" and change 'no' to 'yes'
call http://hostname.domain.com/scripts/wgate/wgate-restart to reload the WGate configuration file ItsRegistryWGATE.xml
           (this will not restart the web server. WGate will check for changes in its XML configuration and reload information if necessary. For most changes, this will happen transparent to the users. Changes to URLs or SNC should not be done with users on the system.)
call http://hostname.domain.com/scripts/wgate/wgate-config for all further configuration
questions
1.  When you call these urls are you connecting to your ADM instance or your standard instance
(if you are running ADM and standard instance on the same physical webserver)
I am getting the error that I have specified an invalid service?
Thanks

Answer 1

Hello Jeremy,
The WGate configuration is a stand-alone tool that runs in the WGate itself, i.e. it is not a service and has nothing to do with the app. part (AGate) and the app. administration tool (ADM).
It is there to make life easier so that you do not have the change the configuration in the XML by hand. The ADM instance on the AGate side has no control over the WGate configuration since in most production environments the WGate and AGate are physically seperated.
Now to your problem:
I can think of two situations which gave you the error:
1) did you type
http://host:port/scripts/wgate/wgate-config!
(with a "bang" at the end?)
then try the correct notation:
http://host:port/scripts/wgate/wgate-config?
2) if the above is not functioning then follow the instructions you described:
edit ItsRegistryWGATE.xml (make a backup)
search/change ConfigMonitorEnabled from "no" to "yes"
save the file
RESTART your webserver (do it yourself, NOT by a URL)
then try the correct URL from 1)
