Hi Experts,
I have an SAP Web Dispatcher which I'm using to load balance requests going into a 3rd party (non-SAP) system. The 3rd party system guide says I can "configure URL http://<server address>/SXP/IsAlive.aspx in the load balancer in order to monitor the health of the 3rd party application server".
How would I go about configuring this in the SAP Web Dispatcher?
my URL with the healthcheck is: "http://<server address>/SXP/IsAlive.aspx"
Is there a parameter to which I would add this URL?
Appreciate your help - this is very urgent!!! Will award points to the correct answer.
Best regards,
Esteban
Hello Esteban,
Set the parameter "wdisp/ping_extsrv_url = /SXP/IsAlive.aspx".
Refer to this SAP Help page.

Hi Isaias - thanks for your reply. when I enter the parameter like this messages seem to stop flowing through the web dispatcher. I had to comment it out because it was causing issues. On the disp_webdisp logs no error logs come up on this parameter when I bring it up.
Hello Esteban,
Please set the parameter "rdisp/TRACE = 2" at the Web Dispatcher profile and restart it.
Then, wait for about 1 minute and simulate the issue.
Stop the Web Dispatcher and save a copy of:
- The profile used during the testing;
- The "dev_webdisp" and "dev_webdisp.old" trace files.
You can then remove the parameter "rdisp/TRACE" and start the Web Dispatcher again.
Compress ("zip") the files from item #1 and #2 and update this question, attaching the compressed file.
We can then analyze the trace to see what is happening.
Best regards,
Isaías
