Web dispatcher and application servers

[Former Member]

Hello,

There is one web dispatcher and multiple application servers in the landscape. When PI system communicate to the external system via FTP or HTTP, will the web dispatcher connect to the the external system or the application servers?

Thanks,

Hi,

The role of a dispatcher is to control and distribute the calls made to your PI system evenly through all your application servers. So basically for all inbound calls to the PI system are controlled by your dispatcher. It has no role to play for the outbound calls from your PI system to external systems.

hi Qutao,

dispatcher connect to the the external system or the application servers?

As per my knowledge, dispatcher application will connect to the external systems.

for webdispatcher need to creat the http external connection in sap pi system itself. then sap PI system will connect to webdispatcher again web dispatcher will communicate with external system in the secure way.

web disppatcher is an application. it is lying between SAP and third party external system. for making the secure data processing and load balancing the data.

Thanks and regards,
