Hi,

SAP Web Dispatcher

Purpose

The SAP Web dispatcher lies between the Internet and your SAP System. It is the entry point for HTTP(s) requests into your system, which consists of one or more Web application servers.

You can use the SAP Web dispatcher in ABAP/Java systems and in pure Java systems, as well as in pure ABAP systems.

Hi,

<b>Each application server contains a dispatcher

.

The dispatcher is the link between the work processes and the users logged onto the application server.

Its task is to receive requests for dialog steps from the SAPgui and direct them to a free work process.

In the same way, it directs screen output resulting from the dialog step back to the appropriate user.</b>
