Thank you for raising this GH Issue, I've realised just now that many of the sample Ansible Playbooks (/playbooks/sample-*
) and sample Ansible Var files (/playbooks/vars/sample-*
) are missing an example of the critical variable sap_swpm_inifile_list
. This is a mistake since the Ansible Collection was initially released, those files are rarely updated. Appreciate your testing, this would not have otherwise been found and is a negative initial user experience.
For SAP Web Dispatcher, you can see the sample variables here for "Default mode":
/playbooks/vars/sample-variables-sap-swpm-default-mode-webdisp-install.yml
For SAP Web Dispatcher, you can see the sample variables here for "Advanced Templates mode":
playbooks/vars/sample-variables-sap-swpm-advanced-templates-mode.yml#L323
You can use this with either your first Ansible Play example ("Default mode"), or the second Ansible Play example ("Default Template mode" - which is intended for creating a long list of different SAP installations to choose from at will).
I would need to perform a test to confirm, but using your second Ansible Play example it would need to be expanded to something like the following. The example is without using sap_install_media_detect
Ansible Role to automatically detect the Web Disp and other SWPM related files.
Suggestion without testing:

Hi Sean, thank you. I gave the thumbs up so I thought this was closed ;-). Indeed if you do it like this it works.
This is what worked with for me:

Hi,
I'm trying to install a standalone Web Dispatcher. If I look at the created inifile
This is the step from my play:
The variable file I'm using:
If I run that I get:
If I start it interactively I see that it gets stuck to the configuring of the backend.
It seems that its not reading the
sap_swpm_wd_
parameters.I also tried to use the
default_templates
option.Task from play:
with this input:
And that results in the same almost empty inifile. The only thing in there is the header and the credentials part, but no generic_webdisp.
Kind regards, Sjoerd
