SAP Web Dispatcher/Message Server

We want to replace our SAP (WD) Web Dispatcher with F5 Big-IP. One function the WD offers is ability to query the SAP (MS) Message Server to determine what ECC application servers are available. This enables the Basis group to add/delete, and take offline applications servers without need to update the WD (it learns this from the MS). Does the F5 support this functionality, so it can learn pool member status from the Message Server?

    BIG-IP does not provide that MS query logic by default. I believe it would be possible for you to create such logic using SAP's ASLR protocol and schedule the logic to execute periodically, but I do not have detailed information on how to achieve this. Perhaps others on DevCentral can help?
