How to handle a redirect from ABAP in webdispatcher

[former_member638449]

Hi,

We have a webdispatcher 7.2 which is connected to a Portal 7.3 and ERP 6 EHP5

https://webdispatcher.local.domain:443 is connected to the Portal system

https://webdispatcher.local.domain:444 is connected to the ERP system.

In the ABAP we have a webdynpro which does a redirect to the sicf content server during access to the application.

So the url changes from https://webdispatcher.local.domain:444 to http://sapabap.local.domain:8000

This is not what I want.

I want it to remain on https://webdispatcher.local.domain:444

Do I have to create a rewrite in the webdispatcher?

Or is there another way to solve this?

thanks

Sander

Hello Sander,

ERP is an ABAP system. Its ICM is receiving HTTP Web queries on port 8000. Therefore URL will be changed accordingly. This is the default behaviour and your system works as designed (at least according to your description). For more information refer to Architecture and Functions of the SAP Web Dispatcher on SAP Help Portal.

Best regards,

Adam

Hello Adam,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm affraid I haven't explaned it good enough.

In the ABAP a webdynpro is active. This is connected to from an iview in the Portal.

This webdynpro uses the internal content server service in sicf to display an image of an employee.

The webdynpro creates a new url for this which includes the hostname of the ABAP system. This url is sent to the browser of the user. The browser than sets up a connection to the http://sapabap.local.domain:8000/bc/sap/contentserver.......

I want to have this url changed to https://webdispatcher.local.domain:444 so all traffic will be routed through the webdispatcher.

I know you can do this kind of url rewriting with Apache, but I dont want to install one.

Hopefully this clearifies the issue a bit more.
