Differences between SOAP Adapter and WS Adapter

Hi Experts,
In order to consume a service in SAP ECC by SAP PI 7.1, I´m using a service based on RFC. I tryed sucessfully to do that using SOAP Adapter and WS Adapter.
What are the differences between using a receiver communication channel with SOAP adapter or WS adapter? Which is the better way ?
Tks in advance.

Hi,
Please go through the below URLs for a discussion of SOAP  and WS adapters:

  • Differences between SOAP-ENV and soapenv

    Hi all,
    I am trying to find out why some SOAP request (inbound web services) in siebel work and do not work when the namespace prefix is SOAP-ENV and soapenv,
    For example XML Spy generates "</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>" where as soapUI generates "<soapenv:Envelope>" and some difference in the name spaces.
    Intrestingly other scenarios like invoking inbound web services with WS-Security and with out security had worked fine when tested from XML Spy.
    Why is siebel not accepting the xml from XML Spy for Siebel Authentication scenario?
    Thank you

    Hi, just to let you all know, and please correct me if I am wrong, I have found this on the internet:
    http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-axis-user/200308.mbox/%3C00fd01c35ba6$ed85e620$6f01a8c0@TPX21%3E
    Although, the SOAP spec uses the namespace prefixes of SOAP-ENV and
    SOAP-ENC, these prefixes aren't required. You can use any string you like as
    a namespace prefix, just as long as it maps to the appropriate namespace
    name. The reason why the spec bothers with telling us the notational
    conventions is that prefix names (e.g., SOAP-ENV) aren't normative, and the
    spec just happens to be using this set of naming conventions. So the prefix
    name doesn't matter. Only the actual referenced namespace name (e.g.,
    http://schema.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/) matters.
    I confirmed this information from an expert from Fusion Middleware and he says that the name-prefix could be anything as long as it is mapped in the namespace (URL from the SOAP XML).

  • The difference between SOAP adapter and WS adapter in PI 7.1

    Hello all,
    can anybody explain what is the main difference between SOAP adapter and WS adapter in PI 7.1?
    I have checked this [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/0d/5ab43b274a960de10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
    but was not able to find the real difference.
    Or better, what can I do with WS adapter I can't do with SOAP adapter? What are their advantages/disadvantages?
    Thank you all, Igor.

    In addition to RM, ws adapter also support other ws standard like SAML which is not available in SOAP adatper. Beside:
    if your sender or receiver is SAP system, you can also monitor the message in the sender/receiver in addition to the PI box. This is a very good thing, because sometime the MONI in PI shows nothing wrong, but the MONI in your receiver will show you error message that's only related to the receiver system.
    However, if you define ws sender CC, and your ws client doesn't support RM, you will have issue sending ws request.
    And ws CC will generate ws runtime in PI box, if your configuration is wrong (like user name and password not correct), even if you correct it, the ws runtime sometime won't be regenated based on the correction. In this case you need to delete the ws CC/agreement, and re-create it with all correct information.
    Beside make sure your basis team configured the PI system properly regarding ws. If not, you will have lot of pain to figure the problem which was my case.

  • Difference between webservices model and adaptive  webservices model

    hi
        Can any one explain me regarding Difference between webservices model and adaptive  webservices model.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In old WS Model, ithere was no concept of logical destinations.
    There if you are using a WSDL located on a server and if the location of the WSDL
    changes, your application won't run. The deployed application using the WS Model will have trouble finding
    the WSDL. As a result you'll have to again import the
    model. Moreover old WS Model does not have re-import functionality.
    But incase of AWS Model, you can desine logical destinations and even if the location of the WSDL changes, all you have to do is change the new url in the Visual Admin and not import the model again.
    You can visit the following link for more details:

  • Difference between OA Adapter and DB Adapter

    Hi All,
    i am very new to SOA, Let me know the difference between OA Adapter and DB Adapter.
    thanks
    Hari

    The EBS (OA) Adapter is mainly a sort of wrapper around DB and AQ adapter supporting the different interfaces of EBS including Business Events(AQ).
    The adapter introspects the Integration Repository. And it sets the responsiblity/application context for you when connecting. The ebs-user and responsibility are set in the wsdl. Using the database adapter you should take care of that yourself.
    Honestly, if you're basically using custom-plsql api's or the pl/sql api's of ebs (eg. TCA) then you're perfectly fine with the DB-adapter. The only thing is that you should set the responsiblity in the pl/sql yourself (for example in the intialization block of the pl/sql package).

  • Difference between XI adapter and HTTP adapter

    Hi,
    I am not very clear on the exact difference between XI adapter and HTTP adapter.
    I want to know, when should we use XI adapter and when to use HTTP adapter.
    Regards,
    Santosh

    Hi,
    We use HTTP Adapter in case of the Application is trying to post the HTTP Request message to XI and able to receive the HTTP Message from XI also.
    While using the HTTP as Sender , HTTP Sits on ABAP Stack and can able to communicate with the Integration Server Directly, No need of any Adapter here, it is adapterless communication
    In Case of Client Proxies
    Source application can directly interact with the XI by executing the report in SAP R/3 & will be able to send the XML data to IS,
    So no need of the XI Adapter in this case to post xml to XI.
    In Case of Server Proxies
    Now XI has to post the xml data to the Target Application, here some thing shld be there to establish the medium with the Target System. So we use XI adapter here.
    In the receiver case, we need XI Adaper to communicate XI integration Server with the Local Integration Engine( Which we made in SAP R/3's Business system as local IE) to post the data
    Basically XI adapter will be used in normal scenarios also to communicate Adapter Engine with Integration Server internally while delivering the msg.
    Check this Msg Flow how the XI Adapter is used in Normal Scenarios

  • Difference between File adapter and FTP adapter

    hi,
    I would like to know what is the difference between File adapter and FTP adapter
    thanks
    Yatan

    Both file and ftp adapters are non-concurrent jca adaps, however we go for file adapters mostly when you have files on your local environment and do not need to wait for someone to FTP the files on a timely basis. In case of FTP Adapter, we would need an FTP Server, a remote location with access where in files pitch in for polling.
    Also, File adapter is dependent on the local folder and OS, however FTP adapter is dependent on the local as well as the remote file system/OS/folder permissions/user access.

    Hi Ashwin,
    Yes,I am  referring to Codeplex based community adapterhttp://tcpipbz2010.codeplex.com/ for TCP/IP
    adapter.
    As from your reply ,both adapters can perform the same task .Right ?

  • How can find the difference  between iphone 5 Real Genuine adapter and fake adapter

    Can anyone please tell me, How Can Find Difference between iphone 5 Real Genuine adapter and fake adapter....

    That's about the only way. Many of the fakes are indistinguishable from genuine without taking them apart. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi-b9k-0KfE Note that BOTH of the adapters in this video are fake. Yet the one on the left looks identical to the "real thing".

  • Difference Between SOAP And HTTP Adapters

    Hi,
    Any body give me some information Abt Differences between SOAP And HTTP Adapters i know both are in use of Webservises. Any one come with more specific differences like in what case we go for SOAP And in what case we go for HTTP. thanks in advance.
    Thanks
    kiran.B

    Hi,
    In addition to the above
    The SOAP Adapter enables u to exchange SOAP messages between the remote clients or web servers and the integration server
    The HTTP Adapter is used to receive the arbitrary XML in the body of an HTTP-Post request.The HTTP adapter uses HTTP version 1.0 and does not support returning fault messages  to the sender.
    The HTTP adapter is used by the external systems  to connect to the integration engine using the native HTTP interface.The plain HTTP adapter is a part of integration engine.

  • Diff between Seeburger Adapter and File Adapter

    Hi All,
             My company needs to interact with some banks and the banks are particular that they want SFTP, which is not supported by  File Adapter, so we have decided to go with Seeburger adapter.
    Now what are the differences between File adapter and seeburger adapter?
    I believe that Seeburger adapter does not support File Content Conversion, Archiving etc.
    Could you all pls put some light on the diff between file adapter and seeburger adapter when it comes to dealing with files?
    Xier

    Hi
    You are aware with working of File Adapter.
    The most direct way of using the Seeburger adaptors is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to
    1. Define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
    2. Using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
    3. Create a one to one mapping between input en output.
    4. Export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI
    5. Generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
    Have a look here,

  • Difference​s btw stb and digital adapter

    can someone clarify what are the main differences  between a stb and a digital adapter besides size and price.
    i know you cant receive any hd signal right?

     DCT-700 Standard Definition Digital Adapter

     Features:
     Can decode and play all Standard Definition (SD) channels
     Has Coax Out (Screw in) and Composite Out (Yellow, White, Red) to TV
     Is much smaller than our other Set Top Boxes (STBs)
     Restrictions:
     No High Definition (HD) content support
     No data features whatsoever (No Program Guide, VOD, Widgets, Games or IPTV)
     Cannot participate as a video client in a Multi-Room Digital Video Recorder setup (MR-DVR)
     Cannot view photos or stream music or videos from Home Media on the customer’s PC
     There are no buttons or displays, just a Power light – it requires the Verizon remote to operate
     QIP-2500 Standard Definition Digital Set Top Box
    (Dimensions: Width: 14.72” (37.4 cm), Depth: 10.00” (25.4 cm), Height: 2.75” (6.9 cm), Weight: ~5.5 lbs (~2.50 kg))
     Features:

     Has Coax Out, Composite Out, and S-Video Out (Round plug with 4 pins in it)
     Has full data features – IMG, PPV, VOD, Games, Widgets and IPTV all work fine
     Can participate as a video client in a MR-DVR setup (SD recordings only)
     Supports Digital Optical Audio and Digital SPDIF (also known as Coax Digital) Audio
     Restrictions:
     No HD content support
     Cannot view photos or stream music or videos from Home Media on the customer’s PC
    Also there are DVR and HD stbs etc -- if you want any info on them just let me know.  That is just the comparison of the digital adapter and standard stb.

  • Soap Sender and RFC Adapter receiver getting APPLICATION_ERROR

    Hi, all,
    I have a webservice soap sender and RFC Adapter receiver scenario, it works fine with RFC "RFC_SYSTEM_INFO", When i tried the RFC "RFC_READ_TABLE", getting the following error message,  <SAP:Code area="RFC_ADAPTER">APPLICATION_ERROR</SAP:Code> in
    SXI_MONITOR, in webservice client, i am getting error message like this:
    <faultcode>SOAP:Server</faultcode>
             <faultstring>Server Error</faultstring>
             <detail>
                <rfc:ZZTEST_RFC_READ_TABLE.Exception xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
                   <Name>TABLE_NOT_AVAILABLE</Name>
                   <Text>QUERY_TABLE not active in Dictionary</Text>
                </rfc:ZZTEST_RFC_READ_TABLE.Exception>
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi
    Its not compulsory but its good to wrap it as Z object.
    Well if you are facing problem with SOAP data. Then try to do one thing. Check with the data you received from SOAP message. If this works
    Then try to check in mapping is it passing the data correctly or not. With this check with the user authorization PIAPPLUSER. if its having less authorizations to execute this BAPI in ECC
    Thanks
