Measures reported by WDispConnTest

As a “software web switch”, the SAP Web dispatcher can reject or accept connections. When it accepts a connection, it balances the load to ensure an even distribution across the servers. The SAP Web Dispatcher therefore contributes to security and also balances the load in your SAP system. Often administrators are required to identify the number of connections made to the SAP Web Dispatcher and figure out how often such connections are made. The WDispConnTest test helps administrators in this regard!

For each protocol type, this test reports the number of connections made to the target SAP Web Dispatcher and the maximum time taken by a connection. Using this test, administrators can figure out the protocol type through which maximum number of connections are made and identify the maximum time duration that is required for a connection to be established.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each protocol type of connections made to the SAP Web Dispatcher that is being monitored

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Num_of_Connections Indicates the total number of connections of this protocol type made to the SAP Web Dispatcher. Number This measure is a good indicator of the load on the SAP Web Dispatcher.

Comparing the value of this measure across the protocol types will enable you to figure out the protocol type that tops the maximum number of connections.
Max_time_Con Indicates the maximum time taken to establish a connection of this type. Mins The Detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the Top 3 slowest connections of each protocol type along with connection ID, Request type, address, connection time, timeouts etc.
