Adapter Engine Archiving

Hello guys,
I am wondering how to set up background processing for the adapter engine correctly. I want to archive all XI messages passing the adapter engine. So I created a new archive job with no rules.
Do I still need the default delete job set to be active? I think my archive job triggers the deletion of successfully archived messages implicitly. But I am not sure about the real behaviour. The documentation could be more comprehensive on this point.
Thanks in advance

Hi frank
You can archive messages in the Adapter Engine.
You make the following entries:
●      In Web AS Java
For more information about archiving XML messages, see XML Data Archiving - Configuration Guide for J2EE Applications on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/instguidesNW04 → SAP NetWeaver → Installation → SAP WebAS → SAP WebAS 6.40.
More information: Administration of the XML Data Archiving Service (URL http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/b2fc3f48ecc742e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
●      In the Adapter Engine
For more information, see SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/instguidesnw04, Installation, SAP XI ® Configuration Guide - SAP XI 3.0, under Configuring Message Archiving for the Adapter Engine and the PCK.
●      In the Runtime Workbench
More information: Background Processing ® Archiving.
Delete Messages
You can only delete messages in the Adapter Engine if they have the status FAILED or DELIVERED.
To do this, you make specifications in the Runtime Workbench.
More information: Background Processing
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/05/b1b740f83db533e10000000a155106/content.htm
i assume that by this you will be able to understand real processing and will be able to understand archiving of message on adapter engine

Archiving message in Adapter Engine in XI 3.0

Dear all,
Could you please explain the procedure of Archiving Messages in Adapter Engine in XI 3.0.
I have read many blogs regarding deleting messages in Adapter Engine, but nowhere i can see about Archiving.
I have been told that activating and scheduling "Default Version Archive Job" in RWB->Components->Adapter Engine->Background Processing would solve the purpose.
But while activating, i am unale to set rules, as it gives error " Rules are not allowed for jobs with set 'archive edited messages only' flag."
Thanks and regards

Message Archiving for the Adapter Engine

Hi,
we have configured archiving for Integration Engine (SXMB_MONI) messages on the Production XI System. is it necessary to configure Message Archiving for the Adapter Engine also ? in which scenarios archived adapter messages are useful ? are there any other advantages/disadvantages for this(in case of errored messages on the adapter engine) ? Please share any ideas.
Thanks
Pavan.

>>is it necessary to configure Message Archiving for the Adapter Engine also
Not necessary,but depends upon the scenario,lets say you are posting messages to external partner's FTP and there was some issue in connectivity due to which file was not delivered,in this case you need to send the message again.
same thing can happen in inbound messages too.
>>in which scenarios archived adapter messages are useful ?
i would do this specifically for JDBC sender coz once you pick up the files based upon SQL query,you change the flag so that those values are not picked next time,in this case you can't re-run the old query and get same results.
this also holds for proxies and file too.
Thanx
Aamir

Message archiving in adapter engine

Hello Gurus,
We have successfully configured message archiving in the integration engine via all the sap documentation and sdn blogs.
For the archiving in adapter engine, we have followed the documentation as well however our messages are simply not being archived in the adapter engine.
The steps for AE we took are as follows:
1. goto DataArchivingService/DAS and created an archive store, home path synch and assigned it to an archive path (the ILM browser connects fine as well)
2. created the archiving background job in RWB (both default and a custom one with rules)
The jobs seem to be running fine on our schedule but no messages are being processed. I am assuming the retention period in AE is the one we have set up in SXMB_ADM for IE.
Is there anything we may have missed?

How to delete / cancel messages in PI adapter engine

Hello expert,
we have a scenario File (EOIO) --> PI --> ABAP. Today the file we received is big (>100mb), apparently PI can't handle it, and we got error
Transmitting the message to endpoint http://host:port/sap/xi/engine?type=entry using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException:
Error transmitting the message over HTTP. Reason: java.io.IOException: Error writing to server.
seems like PI adapter engine got problem while delivering the huge message to ABAP integration engine. In RWB message monitoring, the message is set to Error. Unfortunately the file has been picked up many times, thus the huge message is stuck in adpater engine. In RWB message monitoring, I can see the message listed many times and status is HOLDING because the previous message can not be delivered to Intergration engine. I want to delete/cancel all the messages, I tried in RWB message monitoring to cancell the messages, however after cancelling one message, it crashed the PI system and cause a reboot.
My question is; Is there some place in NWA (net weaver admin) to force all the messages to be deleted? (Because deleting/cancel in RWB message monitoring does not work because it causes system crash).
Thanks

Sender File Adapter Not Showing in Decentral Adapter Engine

Hi,
We have recently implemented a Decentral Adapter Engine on a windows box. The adapter engine seems to be working fine because my adapters show and seem to work fine in it.
However, when I define a Sender File Adapter that uses File Content Conversion message protocol instead of just File messaeg protocol, the adapter does not show up in the decentral adapter engine.
I made sure that Adapter Engine parameter in the Sender File Adapter shows the new adapter engine but that does not seem to be working. If change the Adapter Enginer parameter to show the Central Adapter Engine, then I can see the Sender File Adapter on the Central Adapter engine and it works fine. (Note: The Central Adapter Engine is installed on a Unix box)
Here are the paramters I defined for the Sender File Adapter:
- Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
- Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
- Adapter Engine: (new Adapter Name)
Source Directory: (
server/drive/path)
File Name: purchaseOrder.txt

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Alaa,
look into this document:
http://service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides -> Exchange Infrastructure -> Troubleshooting: Adapter Engine 3.0 (Expert Call slides)
If the File Adapter works without conversion, then you should count the number of fields in a row. If it differs from the configuration, then it runs on error.
Another idea is to check the content type of the file. When you do not enter a File Encoding, then the file adapter assumes utf-8. If the file is for example latin-1, then the number of characters in a row are not counted correctly.

Stefan

XI Adapter ? No messages in the adapter engine in RWB

Hi Guys,
I have the scenario SOAP-PROXY. I have configured XI Adapter on the receiver side. I have used xml spy to post the messages directly to the IS. I could not see any messages in the adapter engine in RWB.
I have seen the messages processed successfully in the integration engine under RWB.
can anybody explain why i could not see any messages in the adapter engine ? Is It normal with the xi adapter on the receiver side ?
Thanks,
Raj

Raghu.
I've done the following:
1. I've executed SE38 tx code.
2. I've entered the "RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES" report as "Program"
3. As the "RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES" report does not have a selection screen, it must be executed with default parameters. So, I selected "Program -> Execute -> Background".
4. There are no available variants, so I clicked on the "Execute immed." button.
5. The job starts. I can monitor it on the SM37 tx code.
6. It only deleted 20 messages.
What I get from this, is that the "RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES" report cannot delete the big part of the messages since them are marked as "Archivable" and not as "Archived".
what do you think of it??
regards
Carlos.

XI 3.0 -- Local Adapter Engine

Hi all,
I can sent the file of my local PC to the XI 3.0 by using the local adapter engine of XI 2.0. But I can't do it by using the File Adapter Communication Channel in XI 3.0.
In my XI 2.0 local adapter engine, I startup the RUN_ADAPTER.BAT in my local adapter engine folder. And create the file_inbound adapter: File_2_M47 as:
## file adapter java class
classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleFile2XMB
mode=FILE2XMB
Integration Engine address and document settings (example, see docu)
XMB.TargetURL=http://10.37.217.65:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
XMB.User=xiuser
XMB.Password=xipass
XMB.SenderBusinessSystem=FILE_SYSTEM
XMB.SenderInterfaceNamespace=http://trevorecc5.com/xi/file
XMB.SenderInterfaceName=ZMI_SO_IDOC
XMB.ContentKind=B
#XMB.ContentKind=T
XMB.ContentType=application/xml
#XMB.ContentType=text/xml
#XMB.ContentType=text/plain
XMB.QualityOfService=EO
##File Adapter specific parameters (example, see docu)
file.sourceDir=C:/filetoidoc
file.sourceFilename=.
file.processingMode=setAttribute
#file.processingMode=delete
#file.processingMode=archive
#file.archiveDir=c:/temp_archive
file.pollInterval=20
##xml conversion properties if mode FILE2XMBWITHROWCONVERSION specified (example, see docu)
#xml.fieldFixedLengths=15,25
xml.processFieldNames=notAvailable
xml.fieldSeparator=;
Note: The IP address (10.37.217.65 ) is my XI 3.0 server.
I can send the file of my folder - C:/filetoidoc.
I have configured the Comunication Channel in XI 3.0.
And the related parameters like as:
Comunication Channel: CC_FILE_IDOC
Service : FILE_SYSTEM
Adapter type : File
 : Sender
Transport Protocol : File System(NFS)
Message Protocol : File
Adapter Engine : Integration Server
Source Directory : C:/filetoidoc
File Name : .
Quality Service : Exactly Once
Poll Interval : 20
Processing Mode : Set to Read-Only
Empty-File Handling : Do Not Create Message
Process Sequence : By Name
File Type : Binary
Status : Active
The sender comunication channel CC_FILE_IDOC has been assigned to the sender aggreement /File_System/ZMI_SO_IDOC/ of namespaces: http://trevorecc5.com/xi/file
But it can't work!
I don't know how to configure the file adapter Comunication Channel for my sending in XI 3.0.
Any help is appreciated.

Trevor

Hi,
>I think the XI 2.0 local adapter engine is more useful than the XI 3.0 comunication channel.
I ve never had the opportunity to work on XI 2.0 but the difference lies in the entire architecture of the Adapter Engine in XI 2.0 and XI 3.0
While XI 2.0 had the adapter Engine as a J2SE based engine, XI 3.0 is based on the J2EE framework and thereby allows more features including modules , and also supports different types of adapters and custom developed adapters as well.
There is no real difficulty in configuring an adapter in XI 3.0 but ofcourse one should take in mind that the network level details should be beyong an XI developers job role.
You need to look at the fact that the problem you are facing is not because XI 3.0 adapter has some problem, but rather because you seem to have network restrictions!!

Java program to restart failed message in Adapter Engine

Hi,
I am using PI 7.0.
Could anyone tell me whether there is an automated job or URL I can schedule in order to periodically resend messages sitting in the Adapter Engine receive queue that are in status System Error, Holding, or Waiting?
I want to avoid having to monitor the system through message monitoring and manually resending the messages...
Many thanks
Brian

Hi,
please check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/05/b1b740f83db533e10000000a155106/content.htm
Restarting
Instead of restarting messages with errors manually with message monitoring, you can schedule a job to automatically restart these messages. This is possible for all messages for which the number of defined restart attempts has been exceeded (messages with the System Error status).
You can define one or more rules for each job to restart messages; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be restarted by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
Rescheduling
A standard job to reschedule messages is created automatically. The job runs once a day and ensures that messages lost as a result of database failure, for example, are rescheduled. You can schedule additional rescheduling jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.

Hi Roberto,
We have noticed this behavior after our PI system is upgraded to PI 7.0 Ehp1.
It is caused by JDBC driver after upgrade. This issue is resolved in the following new jdbc driver which is available on the SAP Service Marketplace:
DB2 Driver for ODBC and CLI V9.7 FP3a SB27297.
Hope your issue will be resolved by this fix. If it's not resolved, please open up a message with SAP.

Error in Adapter engine in RWB

Hi,
I'm facing 2 type of issues in RWB,
Issue 1) Adapter Engine is in Red State in Component monitoring,
Error: Details for 'Is the Adapter Engine Running?'
Response from Adapter Engine: Fatal ArchiveJob (Archiving) failed.(Details: Code: MS.JOB.ARCHIVE; Location: com.sap.engine.messaging.impl.core.job.executor.ArchiveExecutor; Reason: java.io.IOException: The HTTP request of command "MODIFYPATH" did not reach the XMLDAS. This may indicate that the credentials for the HTTP destination have expired.; Time: 31.03.2011 00:00:05)Response from Adapter Engine: Fatal ArchiveJob (Archiving) failed.
2) If I click, any one of the option like Communication Channel monitoring, Engine Status etc, I'm getting the error
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
It seems to be the URL to open these component(Communication Channel monitoring, Engine Status etc ) is wrong. Fromwhere the URL address is taken? Where we need check the host name??
I searched in sdn, but could not find any related topics.
Kindly help me resolve this issue ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Baskaran K

Hi Baskaran,
For 1), did you check if the XML DAS communication user (used in destination "DASdefault") is configured correctly according to the documentation http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/43/68fac39a363d33e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm and is assigned to the "XMLDASSecurityRole" role?
And check if you have configured the rules for your Archiving job (Component Monitoring -> Adapter Engine XIE -> Background Processing).
It seems the archiving does not work because of configuration issues.
An archiving job without rules means: all messages are relevant for archiving. The delete job will only delete messages which are not relevant for archiving. So it does not do anything in this system. It can lead to the database table keeps growing, if it's the case too.
You should check the archiving configuration so that the archiving job runs successfully.
If you do not want to archive the messages, please deactivate the archiving job. Then the delete job should clean the old messages with the next execution.
You may delete it straightly on the Background Processing.
For the 2), "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage", try using the compatibility mode of your browser.
Regards,
Caio Cagnani

Message do not exists in adapter engine

I have a message being sent to IE via JMS Adapter . In Communication channel monitoring i could see the message Id & error message(Error in converting Binary message) but with that message id i could not find any entry in Message monitoring - > Adatpter Engine. Moreover , In communication channel monitoring the id with which the message failed is not hyperlinked to "Message Display Tool (Detail Display) ".
I need the message which is failed.
Thanks ,
Satish

It may be possible that message came into error as soon as it was picked by the sender channel. Could you see some error for these messages in Communication channel monitoring? Another possibility is your message is persisted in the adapter engine for very short duration. In that case, if it is archived, you may select the Archive option in Message Monitoring instead of Database option.

Exporting processed messages from adapter engine monitoring to excel

Hey experts,
I have some messages that are processed successfully. I can see them in the message monitoring for adapter engine in the RWB. I want to know if there is a way to export these messages to excel file.
Also we have a files archived by PI with a .001 extension attached to them. Is there a way to open these files and look at the processed messages?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

I can see them in the message monitoring for adapter engine in the RWB. I want to know if there is a way to export these messages to excel file.
I don't think so.But you can right click.Select View Source.And then save the message in a notepad.
Also we have a files archived by PI with a .001 extension attached to them. Is there a way to open these files and look at the processed messages?
I don't get this! You can open these files by doing a right click.Open with wordpad.
