Disabling Invoker Servlet


Servlets can be triggered by HTTP clients even if they are not defined on web.xml files if the Invoker Servlet is active. You can check if the Invoker Servlet is being used by following these steps:

1. Log in to Visual Admin
2. Click on Log Configurator under Services
3. Go to Locations tab
4. Navigate to ROOT Location -> com -> sap -> engine -> services -> servlets_jsp -> server -> servlet -> InvokerServlet
5. Change the severity from ERROR to WARNING
6. Save and Apply to all "server nodes"

You can check if InvokerServlet is used by checking if there are entries in the default trace files containing the pattern com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.servlet.InvokerServlet

The invoker servlet is disabled by default on NetWeaver 7.3. You can disable it in NW 04 by following these instructions:
1. Update J2EE engine as recommended in SAP note 1445998.
2. Start the Config Tool
3. Go to Global Server Configuration under Cluster-data tree
4. Under Services, navigate to servlet_jsp
5. Select EnableInvokerServletGlobally key under Global properties list
6. Set the value to false and save the changes
7. Restart the cluster (Dispatcher + J2EE nodes)

If any of your applications is set to use the invoker servlet, and you have disabled it or you have upgraded to NW 7.3,  you will notice the following error:
Error: Servlet with class <class name> cannot be loaded.

OS/DB Migration - CMD. STR, TOC, EXT, R3load, DDLDBS.TPL and more

Image
With increasing need to improve performance or reduce costs or vanishing support for operating systems/databases it becomes inevitable to migrate to a better OS or DB. We feel take a quick look at the primary ingredients of the tools for OS/DB migration handled by R3SETUP. Tools - R3load, R3ldctl and R3szchk R3ldctl creates STRucture files, TemPLate files by reading the technical settings for table/indexes in SAP data dictionary. R3szchk calculates the database size object sizes (EXTent files) for the target system based on the STR files created by R3ldctl. The EXT and STR files can be later split into smaller groups. The most crucial tool R3load is responsible for unloading and loading data from the database. R3load uses the files created by R3ldctl and R3szchk and dumps the data into compressed binary format as .001, .002 .. files. It uses cmd files to achieve the task. If the cmd files are not present, it creates on its own. Files Command files*.cmd  are creat...

Fixing Inconsistent Table - Table activation fails due to inconsistency between DD and DB

If you find a table to be available on the database, but not active in ABAP dictionary, try calling SE14 as DDIC user, enter the table name and choose Table > Reconstruct, Execute. If this method fails follow these steps: Call transaction code SE37 and execute the function module  DD_TABL_ACTM with single test On the next screen, do not change any other field except the following and set them as shown below: MODE: 12 NTAB_PUTSTATE: N TABNAME: <enter the correct table name> Click on Execute The export parameter ACT_RESULT should show 0. To verify if the inconsistency is fixed, call transaction SE14 > Extras > Database Object > Check and  SE14 > Extras > Runtime object > Check.

301 Redirect Using SAP Web Dispatcher

301 redirects are typically used to redirect accesses that include www to non-www or vice-versa. Example, when you call http://blogger.com, the call is redirected to www.blogger.com. An end-user may prefer to call a URL in any manner. You must ensure that all these calls are redirected to relevant URLs with content. SAP web dispatcher can be configured to send a redirect (301) to the client. To enable redirection add icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> to the web dispatcher's profile file. The parameter uses the following syntax: icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> = PREFIX=<URL prefix>[, FROM=<pattern for URL>, FROMPROT=<incoming protocol>, FOR=<pattern for host name:port>,TO=<new URL prefix>, PROT=<protocol>, HOST=<host>, PORT=<port number/name>] Let's say you want to redirect all the HTTP requests on mysource.com on 80 port to mytarget.com on HTTPS 443 port icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/, FROM=*, FROMPROT=http, FOR=mysource.com:80,...
