Automating SAP Web Dispatcher Installation

[former_member605355]

Has anyone attempted to fully automate and deploy SAP Web Dispatcher installation? Hoping to use Ansible to perform automated installs on 100+ servers. Most likely one Web Dispatcher server will be installed per Windows Server. Is it possible to install the Software Provisioning Manager on a fresh Windows Server, then start the install using shell commands and an existing inifile.params from a prior successful installation that was performed on a different server?

I have completed the unattended installation of SAP Web Dispatcher as described in 2230669. The note says to step through the "Define Parameters" phase in the SWPM Browser GUI. I'm hoping to find a way to perform the unattended install without stepping through this phase in the GUI. I'd like to copy the inifile.params to fresh Windows server instances with SWPM installed, and kick off the Web Dispatcher installation through automation.

Hi Christopher.

I am not sure about, you can try with unattended installation of SAP Web dispatcher with following SAP note and SCN blog.
