Modify default URL of Webdynpro

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

the following scenario:

At the moment i get the "FQDN" error when trying to run a webdynpro app. At the same time, if I try to access the "Layout" tab of a View to design the application frontend I get the "This program cannot display the webpage" error.

the default URL generated by webdynpro is http://hostname:port/sap/.

To be able to enter "Layout" mode and to run application in browser the correct URL must be http://hostname.domain.extension:port/sap...

How can i change the default generated URL to concatenate the missing "domain.extension" in the hostname?

Thanks in advance.

You need to set the application server instance profile parameter icm/host_name_full. This controls the URL generation for all application types in the system.

Hallo Thomas,

and how exactly do I change that parameter?

If you don't know that answer already then you should really just talk to your basis administrator about making the change. Instance profile parameters can disrupt the entire system if you make an incorrect change. This is generally something a basis administrator would do anyway.

If this is sandbox type system and you need to change it yourself, then I would suggest that you read up on the process in the online help:

It is a test (sandbox) system installed on a virtual machine.

I understand I have to set the following variables:

SAPLOCALHOST, SAPLOCALHOSTFULL and icm/host_name_full.

Where can I find and change them?

Thanks.

Hi,

The ICM sets the FQHN using the following hierarchy.

1. The parameter SAPLOCALHOSTFULL in the SAP profile (recommended for high availability configurations) has the highest priority. If it is set in a profile file, the ICM uses this value as the FQHN. Note: the system default value of SAPLOCALHOSTFULL contains the host name without domain, so the system default is ignored by the ICM.

2. If the parameter is not set, icm/host_name_full is analyzed.

3. If this parameter is not set either, the ICM uses the FQHN of the operating system. For this reason, check the settings of the hosts file at the operating system level.

The parameter SAPLOCALHOST is not fully qualified and is not used by ICM for the services.

SAP recommend that you set either SAPLOCALHOSTFULL (for HA configurations) or icm/host_name_full.

Check the SAP note 773830 & the below link for SAP Help on the same for more details.

Hello Andrei,

You (or your basis administrator) can edit the profile parameters using RZ10

Beforehand, you can display the current values using the program RSPARAM

Hello,

You need to do few configurations to access web dynpro applications:

Please refer to the following link:

I dont think you have to manually edit the application url. Once you have done the configuraitons mentioned in the above link, everything should work properly!

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I think you should check with the BASIS guys if all the services required for WDA have been activated.

For the webpage cannot be displayed error, check if you have made a proper entry in the hosts file located at the path

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.

Hope this helps.
