web dispatcher availability check

[Former Member]

Hi.

I want to check the avaialbility of web dispatcher from outside.

Because of /sap/admin/ping is dispatched to backend system automatically

I couldn't know whether web dispatcher is available or not.

I want to catch the return code 404 and so on, if the web dispatcher is not available.

Because of security reason, we don't want to include userid and password in URL.

regards,

Hi,

I agree with the previous member's response and if you are looking for specific logs and the error location, you can use web tracing tools (like charles web debugging proxy) to trace the packets and you should be able to see the URL redirection from WD to the backend. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Call http://webdisp:port/sap/public/ping

if it works it means that your backend and your web disptacher are available.
