SAP Web Dispatcher Mapping

[bobong_player1921]

We tried to configure a web dispatcher profile. Somehow, we made it work but we are not sure how the mapping was done. In the screenshot, you will see that server_port_1 appears to connect to MSSPORT 8443 (notice that it has the name 'wdisp/system_0'). Can someone explain how this was mapped by the web dispatcher ?

In your scenario all requests that reach the Web Dispatcher through port 20443 will be sent to the LEE system.

Since you don't have any selection criteria (port, host or combination) all requests are sent to LEE.

Check out this wiki Link:

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SI/Configuring+the+Web+Dispatcher+for+Multiple+Systems+-+Clari...

It covers all possible scenarios and it's a top notch documentation.

I'll add an analogy for better understanding
Webdispatcher=Postman
Your Request=Parcel
System Lee = Recipient
Selection criterias (host, port, combinations) = restrictions

You wish to send a parcel to a recipient.
The postman receives your parcel and checks his list for known recipients (currently only one=LEE)
Before delivering the parcel the postman also checks for restrictions and since currently none is in place the parcel gets delivered to the existing recipient.

To make things more interesting and fun add additional systems, check the wiki link and play with the webdispatcher settings .

Hello Canciu,

Thanks for the link you have shared. It will be helpful for us in the future since we will also set up multiple systems in a web dispatcher.

We'll check this out, and possibly play with the scenarios.
