How to display webdynpro applications from ABAP using WEBDISPATCHER

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have installed and configured my web-dispatcher and i am able to view the WEB ADMIN which gives me a lot of information about my web-dispatcher.

The installation and configuration is done on SUSE Linux 10 SP2, we are also able to open the webpages of our PORTAL using the web-dispatcher host name which is running on my ERP DEV. But my requirements are as follows for which i am looking for some helping hand here from the experts.

1) The testing of the web-dispatcher is done internal to network, HOW can i achieve it outside our network?

2) The end users need to access the portal not by using the web-dispatcher's host name and port no (http://host-web-disp:<portno>/irj), but instead i need to use the portals host name and port no(http://myportal.mycomp.com:<portno>/irj)

3) I also want to access the web-dynpro applications on my portal which are called from the backend system (my R3), how can i achieve this without changing the host name on the browser, it should still show me mypotal.mycomp.com

For point 3 as of now i am not able to display the abap web-dynpro pages on my portal.

I would be very thankful and appreciate any helpful answers on this as this is a very quick requirement.

I could not find any places on the web which could help me on these.

Thanks to all in advance

Regards

Hunky

Sometimes a picture says more then words:

1) to test outside, best is to use an external proxy -> you go out and back in ...

2) its still usefull for internal users to use a web dispatcher, if you have to scale out, you will need a WD anyway

3) the new WD is able to serve multiple hosts, maybe this helps you for question 3:

Hi Hunky,

Is your webdispatcher placed on a host that resides in the DMZ? If so, you should be able to access it from outside.

You have to register an internet domain name at an ISP and assign that address to your system. This will be done by an IP address that will be attached via NAT to your system. When you are accessing your system this URL, you are always going via the internet instead of the internal network.

In your webdispatcher you can configure URL dispatching, so when someone is accessing the webdispatcher via http://yourcompany.portal.com it will automatically be redirected to your portal.

Ask your Portal consultant to make Iviews to access ABAP webdynpros via the portal.

Kind regards,

Dear Mark,

The host with the web-dispatcher is on the DMZ and so it should not be a problem and i will do the testing from my personal laptop.

Some how i am not convinced with the solution for the point 3..,

Is there any workaround.

I will keep you posted on my further testing the things.

Thanks for your reply.

Awaiting for more clarity

Hi Hunky,

You can access these webdynpro's directly, but if you want to access them via the portal, they should be accessed via an Iview.

Kind regards,

Mark
