1 Introduction
1 Introduction
This documentation describes how to install the Web Dispatcher for an existing SAP system.
We recommend to install the Web Dispatcher when you use an SAP system with several application
servers for web applications.
1.1 Web Dispatcher
The Web dispatcher is situated 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 SAP NetWeaver application servers.
Figure 1:
As a "software web switch", the Web dispatcher can reject or accept connections. When it accepts a
connection, it balances the load to ensure an even distribution across the servers.
You can use the Web dispatcher in ABAP+Java systems as well as in pure Java systems and in pure
ABAP systems.
03/28/2008 PUBLIC 5/58

1 Introduction
1.2 SAP Notes for the Installation
Recommendation
The Web dispatcher is recommended when you use an SAP system with several SAP NetWeaver
application servers for Web applications.
The Web dispatcher can run on the machine that is connected directly to the Internet and requires
minimal configuration. You only have to enter the following data in the profile file:
n Port on which the HTTP(s) requests are to be received
Parameter icm/server_port_<xx>
n Host and HTTP port of the SAP message server
Parameters rdisp/mshost and ms/http_port)
Example
If you need to be able to call the Web application externally for example using the URL
www.shop.acme.com this host name must be mapped internally to the Web dispatcher, which
then forwards the HTTP(S) request to a suitable application server.

1.4 Naming Conventions
In this documentation, the following naming conventions apply:

SAP system refers to the Web Dispatcher. From a technical point of view, the Web Dispatcher is set
up like an SAP system with its own SAP system ID (SAPSID), its own operating system users, and
its own directory structure.
Variables
Variables Description
<SAPSID> SAP system ID in uppercase letters
<sapsid> SAP system ID in lowercase letters
<DBSID> Database ID in uppercase letters
<dbsid> Database ID in lowercase letters
<host_name> Name of the corresponding host
<user_home> Home directory of the user performing the installation.
<INSTDIR> Installation directory for the SAP system
<DVD_DIR> Directory on which a DVD is mounted
<OS> Operating system name within a path
<SCHEMA_ID> Database schema ID
03/28/2008 PUBLIC 7/58

1 Introduction
1.4 Naming Conventions
The following example shows how the variables are used:
Example
Log on as user <sapsid>adm and change to the directory /usr/sap/<SAPSID>.
If your SAP system ID is C11, log on as user c11adm and change to the directory /usr/sap/C11.

2.1 Basic System Parameters
The tables below list the basic system parameters that you need to determine before you start the
installation. For all other SAP system parameters, use the F1 help in the SAPinst screens.
Parameters Description Your Value
File system for the home /home/<username> ...
directory user
Note
/home/ is only a recommendation.
SAP system mount /<sapmnt> is the base directory for the SAP system. ...
directory For /<sapmnt> you can use a directory of your choice.
Do not add <SAPSID> as subdirectory because the
system adds this directory automatically.
Example
If you enter /<sapmnt>, the system creates the
directory /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>.
SAP System ID <SAPSID> The SAP System ID <SAPSID> identifies the whole SAP ...
system.
Caution
Choose your SAP system ID carefully. You cannot
change the SAP system ID after the installation.
Make sure that your SAP system ID:

n Is unique throughout your organization
n Consists of exactly three alphanumeric characters
n Contains only uppercase letters
n Has a letter for the first character
n Does not include any of the following, which are
reserved IDs:

2.1 Basic System Parameters
Parameters Description Your Value

Instance Number Instance Number: ...
Technical identifier for internal processes. Consists of a
two-digit number from 00 to 97. The instance number
must be unique on a host. That is, if more than one SAP
instance is running on the same host, these instances
must be assigned different numbers.
Only valid for: HP-UX
Caution
Do not use 02, 75 for the instance number because:
n 02 is used to determine the port number for
report RSLGCOLL, which is 14<instance_number> by
default. The port 1402 however is already used by
the OS process rstlisten. If you decide to use 02 as
the instance number anyway, the instance fails to
start during the installation process. You then have
to change the port number for report RSLGCOLL
manually to continue with the installation.
n 75 is already used by the operating system. For
more information, see SAP Note 29972
End of: HP-UX
Operating System (OS) SAPinst will create the operating system user ...

Installation In a standard Solaris installation, /tmp is a tmpfs file system.
directory tmpfs is a memory-based file system that uses kernel resources relating to the VM
system and page cache as a file system.
Once mounted, a tmpfs file system provides standard file operations and semantics.
tmpfs is so named because all files and directories are lost after reboot or unmounts.
For this reason, we recommend that you create a directory /temp on a ufs file system.

3.2 Creating Operating System Users Manually (Optional)
3.1.7 Requirements for the Instance
The Web Dispatcher host must meet at least the following requirements for the Web Dispatcher
instance:
Hard disk space n Hard disk drives with sufficient space for the Web Dispatcher instance.
For more information, see Setting up File Systems [page 27].
n 4.3 GB of temporary disk space for every required installation DVD that you
have to copy to a local hard disk. .
n 1.2 GB of temporary disk space for the installation.
Minimum RAM 500 MB
Swap space AIX, Solaris, z/OS: 3 * RAM
Linux, HP-UX: 2 * RAM
Network File System Network File System (NFS) must be installed.
(NFS)
3.2 Creating Operating System Users Manually (Optional)
If you do not want SAPinst to create operating systems users, groups and services, you can optionally
create them manually before the installation.
If you want to use global accounts which are configured on a separate host, you need to run the
installation service Operating System Users and Groups on this host.
SAPinst checks whether the required users and groups already exist. If not, it creates new users and
groups as necessary.
SAPinst chooses available user IDs and group IDs.
Users and Their Primary Groups
User Primary Group Additional Group Comment
<sapsid>adm sapsys sapinst SAP system administrator
Caution
If these operating system users already exist, make sure that they are assigned to group sapinst.

3 Preparation
3.3 SAP Directories
3.3 SAP Directories
SAPinst automatically creates the directories listed in the following figures and tables.
Before running the installation, you have to set up the required file systems manually. In addition,
you have to make sure that the required disk space for the directories to be installed is available
on the relevant hard disks.
The figure below assumes that you have set up one file system for the SAP system mount directory
<sapmnt> and one file system for the /usr/sap directory. However, you have to decide for which
directories you want to set up separate file systems. If you do not set up any file system on your
installation host, SAPinst creates all directories in the root directory /.
SAPinst prompts you only for the <sapmnt> directory during the installation. See also Basic SAP
System Parameters [page 9].
Figure 2:
The instance name (instance ID) of the Web Dispatcher instance is W<Instance_Number>, for example
W00.
SAP File Systems in Detail
Note
The listed file system sizes are initial SAP requirements.
Depending on your operating system, you might also have to add space for administrative purposes.

all instances
/usr/sap/<SAPSID> There are subdirectories of 1 MB
/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS with symbolic
links to subdirectories of /<sapmnt>/<SAPSID>:
3.4 Installing the Java Runtime Environment
You need to prepare your system for SAPinst. This includes the installation of a Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), which is required both for SAPinst and the SAPinst GUI.
Note
If required, you can perform a remote installation using a standalone SAPinst GUI on a separate
Windows or UNIX host. This lets you perform the installation on a remote host, controlling it
with the SAPinst GUI from a local host. If you want to perform a remote installation, see Performing
a Remote Installation with SAPinst [page 37]. In this case, you need at least a JRE on the local host to
start the SAPinst GUI there.
Procedure
1. Check the JRE versions that are released for SAP systems in the Product Availability Matrix (PAM):
a) Go to http://service.sap.com/pam.
b) On the right-hand panel, choose SAP NetWeaver SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004S) .
c) Choose tabstrip JSE Platforms.
Note
For more information about the recommended JRE version for your operating system and about
how to download it, see SAP Note 723909.
2. Make sure a valid JRE version is installed, as follows:

n If the JRE is not already installed, you need to download and install it.
n If the JRE is not already installed
28/58 PUBLIC 03/28/2008

3 Preparation
3.5 Preparing the Installation DVDs
Since the JRE is not part of the SAP shipment, you need to download and install it. The JRE
is part of the JDK (Java Development Kit).
n If the JRE is already installed
Check the installed version of the JRE by entering:
java -version
Note
SAPinst checks environment variable SAPINST_JRE_HOME for a valid Java runtime environment.
If SAPINST_JRE_HOME is not found, SAPinst also checks JAVA_HOME.
Note
If you use a Sun Java VM, you have to perform the following:
Edit the configuration file $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security and replace entry
securerandom.source=file:/dev/random with securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom.

<SAP solution> <SAP product> <SAP release> Installation and Upgrade <operating system>
<database> .
If you download installation DVDs, note that DVDs might be split into several files. In this case, you
have to reassemble the required files after the download.
Prerequisites
To extract the downloaded SAR files make sure that you use the latest SAPCAR version, which you
can find on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/swdc. You need at least SAPCAR
700 or SAPCAR 640 with patch level 4 or higher because older versions of SAPCAR can no longer
unpack current SAR files. For more information, see SAP Note 212876.
Procedure
1. Create a download directory on the host on which you want to run SAPinst.
2. Identify all download objects that belong to one installation DVD according to one or both of the
following:
n Material number
All download objects that are part of an installation DVD have the same material number and
an individual sequence number:
<material_number>_<sequence_number>
Example
51031387_1
51031387_2
...
n Title
All objects that are part of an installation DVD have the same title, such as
<solution><DVD_name><OS> or <database>RDBMS<OS> for RDBMS DVDs.
30/58 PUBLIC 03/28/2008

3 Preparation
3. Download the objects to the download directory.

4. Extract the individual download objects using SAPCAR, starting with the lowest sequence number
for example 51031387_1, then 51031387_2, and so on.
During the download SAPCAR sets up the structure of the installation DVD.

4.1 Running SAPinst
You have to install the Web Dispatcher using the SAPinst tool.
Here you find information how to start and run SAPinst on your installation host.
Prerequisites
n Check that your installation hosts meets the requirements for the installation. For more
information, see Hardware and Software Requirements [page 11].
n Make sure that your operating system does not delete the contents of the temporary directory
/tmp or the contents of the directories to which the variables TEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR point, for
example by using a crontab entry.
Note
SAPinst normally creates the installation directory sapinst_instdir directly below the
temporary directory. SAPinst finds the temporary directory by checking the value of the
environment variables TEMP, TMP, or TMPDIR. If no value is set for these variables, SAPinst uses
/tmp as default installation directory.
The SAPinst Self-Extractor extracts the SAPinst executables to the temporary directory. These
executables are deleted again after SAPinst has stopped running.
If required, you can terminate SAPinst and the SAPinst Self-Extractor by pressing Ctrl+C .
Caution
If SAPinst cannot find a temporary directory, the installation terminates with the error FCO-00058.
n Make sure that you have at least 60 MB of free space in the installation directory for each installation
service. In addition, you need 200 MB free space for the SAPinst executables. If you cannot provide
200 MB free space in the temporary directory, you can set one of the environment variables TEMP,
TMP, or TMPDIR to another directory with 200 MB free space for the SAPinst executables.

48/58 PUBLIC 03/28/2008

6.5 Mounting a CD / DVD for Solaris
6.4 Mounting a CD / DVD for Linux for System z
Mounting a CD / DVD can be achieved either by mounting a CD / DVD drive of a UNIX workstation
by using NFS, or by copying the contents to the Linux file system after mounting the CD / DVD
on a Windows workstation.
Using a CD / DVD Drive on a UNIX system

The CD / DVD file system has to be exported for NFS. Make sure that an NFS server is running
on the UNIX system.
Using a CD / DVD Drive on a Windows system

When using a CD / DVD drive on a Windows system, the following two alternatives are available:
NFS server
The Windows system must have third-party software installed providing the functions of an NFS
server. On Linux, the NFS client must be configured.
SAMBA
When using SAMBA, the CD / DVD cannot be accessed directly by Linux. Instead, the contents
must be copied to the Linux file system.
On Linux, SAMBA must be installed and configured. You have to provide a directory structure on
Linux for a copy of the CD / DVD. For every CD, a temporary disk space of about 650 MB is necessary,
and for every DVD a temporary disk space of about 4.3 GB. Define the directory as network share.
On the Windows system, map the share as network drive and copy the CD / DVD using the command:
xcopy <medium> <dest> /s/e
where <medium> is the CD / DVD drive and <dest> specifies the destination network drive and path.
6.5 Mounting a CD / DVD for Solaris
In the Solaris operating system, a layer of software manages CDs / DVDs and other media. This is the
volume manager, which automates the interaction between you and your CDs / DVDs. Do not use
this volume manager to mount CDs / DVDs needed for the installation, as the manager does not use
the normal case option. Without this option, some files on CDs / DVDs cannot be found. Mount CDs
/ DVDs for the installation manually as described in the following procedure.
03/28/2008 PUBLIC 49/58

6.6 Starting and Stopping the Instance Using the SAP Management Console
For more information about configuring the volume management, see the SunOS Routine System
Administration Guide.
Note
Procedure
2. To check if vold (volume daemon) is running, enter the following command:
ps -ef | grep vold
3. If it is running, kill vold.
4. Insert the CD / DVD into your disk drive.
5. To create a mount point, enter the following command:
mkdir /<medium-mountdir>
Example
for example, <medium-mountdir> is /sapcd
6. To mount the CD / DVD, enter the following command:

mount -F hsfs -o nomaplcase,ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /<medium-mountdir>
After the installation, you can start vold using the following command:
/usr/sbin/vold.
End of: Solaris
