Operating System ArchitectureProcedure
You can start the SAP DB Web Server either directly or as a service.
To do this, use the file
wahttp.exe
with the appropriate call parameter and, if required, the command for starting the service.You can specify the registry path for the configuration required when starting the SAP DB Web Server. You have the following options here:
wahttp
call parameter
–f <registry_path>
Entry in file
<installation_path_web_tools>/pgm/wahttp.conf
If you do not enter the call parameter
-f
, then the registry path for the configuration defined in the file
wahttp.conf
is used.
Default value in
wahttp.conf
:
SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech\WebAgent73
If you do not change the default value, then the configuration entries in the following registry path are used:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech\WebAgent73\HTTP.
If you do change the default value SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech\WebAgent73, then you must ensure that the path you specify leads to a section containing the subsection HTTP.
Call Parameter
You can use the following call parameters for the SAP DB Web Server:
wahttp [-i] [-u] [-d] [-f <file>] [-h]
: Installing the SAP DB Web Server Service.
-u
: Deleting the SAP DB Web Server Service.
-d
: Starting the SAP DB Web Server directly (using
wahttp.exe
).
-f <registry_path>
: you can define a registry path other than
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech\WebAgent73\HTTP for the configuration.
To do so, you must define the changed path area SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech\WebAgent73\ as the
<registry_path>
. The path you enter must lead to a section containing the subsection
HTTP.
-h
: you can display all call parameters.
