Parameter
wdisp/redispatch_foreign_sessions
Short text
Redispatch requests for stateful sessions from invalid server
Parameter Description
If the value of this parameter is true, the Web Dispatcher uses stateless load balancing to try to find an alternative server destination for failed stateful requests (incorrect session cookie or the target server or logon group cannot be accessed).
This has the following advantages:
• The relevant backend (AS Java, AS ABAP) returns more meaningful error pages (such as “Log on again”). The Web Dispatcher remains transparent for the user.
• A real session failover is made possible, if the relevant server backend is in the position to transfer external sessions
