Hi,

All you need to do is go to System Administration->System Configuration and create a new system (dedicated one (or in german engagiert)) and provide the alias name as SAP_WebDynpro_XSS . You will also be required to create some more systems and that also needs to be created here only.

Please ensure that you use the same alias name as written in your manual.

Hope this helps!

Martin,

You can select SAP system dedicated. Give the following properties: Application host-->(Portal host)

logon method (UIDPW or tickets)

user admin protocol: http or https

user mapping type

WAS desc:

WAS host name: <server>:<port> like-->(sapep.company.com:50000)

WAS path: /webdynpro/dispatcher

WAS protocol : http or https

Save and create alias for the system.

no, http is definitly wrong !

you are absolutely correct - you need to setup the webdynpro connector just like any other R3_LoadBalancing system connector except

You only need to use the WebAS settings - and this is where you point to the webdynpro implementation for ESS/MSS. This could be your local portal or a separate webas implementation etc etc.

The Webas path will be something like

/dispatcher/webdynpro (or maybe the other way round) - dont have an HR connected portal system right now to confirm.

Thanks
