SAP Web dispatcher Installation- Unix

  1. Read SAP Note 538405
  2. Read SAP Help:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b4/9aa8862e714e6db8e74e48e5d3283b/frameset.htm
  3. Download the webdispatcher from http://service.sap.com/ ->Support Packages and Patches-> Entry by Application Group-> Additional Components-> SAP Kernel-> SAP Kernel 32 Bit or SAP Kernel 64 Bit-> SAP Kernel 7.01 -> Operating system platform-> Database independent ->The package is called sapwebdisp_<>-<…>.SAR, where <> indicates the patch level
  4. Create a direactory /usr/sap/SID/webdisp on server and copy the downloaded webdispatcher sapwebdisp_35-10006297.sar
  5. Uncar the downloaded file
  6. /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/SAPCAR -xvf sapwebdisp_35-10006297.sar
  7. chown SIDadm:sapsys *
  8. Run this commnad to install webdispatcher: sapwebdisp.pfl -cleanup -shm_attach_mode 4 -auto_restart -bootstrap
  9. Installation process provide the values to below parameters:
  10. Hostname of Message Server (rdisp/mshost):messageserver hostname
  11. HTTP Port of Message Server (ms/http_port): 81Instance_Number
  12. Unique Instance Number for SAP Web Dispatcher (SAPSYSTEM): Give a unique name
  13. HTTP port number for SAP Web Dispatcher: 280_Instance_Number
  14. Create configuration for s(mall), m(edium), l(arge) system (default: medium): l
  15. At the end you will see this message, SAP Web Dispatcher bootstrap ended (rc=0), ð *** SAP Web Dispatcher up and operational (pid: 12956) ***
  16. Then start the webdispatcher: sapwebdisp pf=sapwebdisp.pfl -checkconfig
  17. Make sure the dispatcher started :
  18. ps -ef grep webdisp
  19. SIDadm 14561 11954 0 16:32:13 pts/2 0:00 grep sapwebdisp
  20. SIDadm 12956 1 0 16:26:29 pts/1 0:01 sapwebdisp pf=sapwebdisp.pfl -shm_attach_mode 6
URL redirect concept –
For redirect (when your client browser will be asked to go to a new URL), below should do, though it is better to use FQDN, like sapwebdisp.corp.com
icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/ECC/webgui, FOR=sapwebdisp:85, FROM=*,TO=/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui,HOST=saperpecc,PROT=HTTP,PORT=8001 
If you want your client to see http://sapwebdisp:85 URL in the browser, but actual content of http://saperpecc:8001//sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui, this would be URL forwarding/routing.
In this case you need to use parameter 
wdisp/server_info_location = info.icr to point to ecc host and also icm/HTTP/redirect_0 to manipulate prefixes ECC/webgui -> sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/ .
We could also use httpurlloc table in ECC instead of info.icr file.
Example of icr file could be:
Version 1.0 ECC J2EE saperpecc 8001 DIA=1 
Only hostname and port are critical, since we are not doing load balancing on this web dispatcher.
