SAP BASIS INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Question 41: SAPRouter and DMZ

We setup a SAPRouter in DMZ so that all SAP

requests can be routed in and out from that

machine and the SAP application servers are not

necessary to be exposed to the internet user.

However, the SAPRouter does not handle the BW

Web reporting application requests. We do not

have E.P. Are there any tools which can help us to

route WEB reporting requests the way SAPRouter

does?

A: You need a SAP Web dispatcher. It acts like a

SAP Router but routes SAP ICM traffic. BW Web

reporting is a BSP that sits on the ICM. You can

look for sapwebdisp.exe in the kernel directory or

do a self-generated profile using command option

"bootstrap."
