Topic 1 · Question 2

A global retail company is running its SAP landscape on AWS. Recently, the company made changes to its SAP Web Dispatcher architecture. The company added an additional SAP Web Dispatcher for high availability with an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to balance the load between the two SAP Web Dispatchers. When users try to access SAP through the ALB, the system is reachable. However, the SAP backend system is showing an error message. An investigation reveals that the issue is related to SAP session handling and distribution of requests. The company confirmed that the system was working as expected with one SAP Web Dispatcher. The company replicated the configuration of that SAP Web Dispatcher to the new SAP Web Dispatcher. How can the company resolve the error?

  • AMaintain persistence by using session cookies. Enable session stickiness (session affinity) on the SAP Web Dispatchers by setting the wdisp/HTTP/esid_support parameter to True.
  • BMaintain persistence by using session cookies. Enable session stickiness (session affinity) on the ALB. (correct answer)

Topic 1 · Question 3

A company hosts its SAP NetWeaver workload on SAP HANA in the AWS Cloud. The SAP NetWeaver application is protected by a cluster solution that uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux. High Availability Add-On. The cluster solution uses an overlay IP address to ensure that the high availability cluster is still accessible during failover scenarios. An SAP solutions architect needs to facilitate the network connection to this overlay IP address from multiple locations. These locations include more than 25 VPCs, other AWS Regions, and the on-premises environment. The company already has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises environment and AWS. What should the SAP solutions architect do to meet these requirements in the MOST scalable manner?
