Starting Web Dispatcher

[former_member237523]

Hello Folks

I am trying to start the SAP Webdispatcher (version 7.00) but it failis with the error message :

• FATAL: SAP Web Dispatcher process 17220 still alive

• FATAL: I better exit now to prevent any damage

I tried to kill this process 17220 (by the way this process was icman), but it restart again after a kill, so its a never ending loop. Any ideas how do I fix this? Is there a way to stop icman without restart and then start the sapwebdispatcher?

Thanks for your answers.

Cheers,

Dear Lalit,

the problem is that you have configured the same number for the parameter

SAPSYSTEM.

The running ICM is creating shared memories for SAPSYSTEM = XX and

when the web dispatcher will be started with the same value configured for SAPSYSTEM, it believes that already a web dispatcher is running.

To avoid the interference you have to choose a different value for SAPSYSTEM

in the web dispatcher profile and afterwards it should come up without any problems.

Kind Regards

Hello Thomas,

Many thanks for your input. I gave a different number to the SWD and now its fully functional. I was under the impression that the SWD uses the same system number as the sap system it is used for.
