Adapter Engine(decentral) or PCK over Internet ?

Hello Friends,
In our scenario we have to be decide to choice between
<b>1.XI with PCK;</b>
and
<b>2.XI with decentral AE over Internet.</b>
Integration Server has been configured to be seen over Internet.
Location of business System is out of the Integration Server  LAN and is a local station protected by it's firewall.
My question is
How can we can integrate this system in a XI Scenario in bidirectional way? using Decentral AE or PCK ?
Thanks,
Bogdan

Hi Bogden -
The decentral adapter engine is deployed on top of a full J2EE engine, so it's a rather heavy solution.  However, the benefits are that it inherits the full features of the engine such as scalability, clustering, thread management.
A decentral adapter engine will also have its own queuing and persistence layer so if the Integration Server is down, you still maintain guaranteed delivery.
However, bandwidth(max 64kb/s) looks like a potential problem, especially if you have large messages in your scenario(s) - even more so with large flat files converted to XML, since usually the resulting XML size is a multiple of the original flat file size.  If the files aren't so large, maybe not a big deal.
Best regards,
Jin

  • 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
    Frank Opitz

    Hi frank
    You can archive messages in the Adapter Engine.
    You make the following entries:
    &#9679;      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)
    &#9679;      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.
    &#9679;      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.

  • Installaing decentral Adapter Engine (Java EE) 7.1 Including Enhanc

    Dear All
    we are installaing decentral Adapter Engine (Java EE) 7.1 Including Enhancement package 1 on Linux with database DB2.To do installation we have followed the installation guide "Adapter Engine (Java EE) 7.1 Including Enhancement Package 1 on Linux: IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and WindowsTarget"
    Accoridng to that document "In the Welcome screen, choose the required SAPinst installation option under the node SAP EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1Installation >OptionsOptional Standalone Units >Partner Connectivity Kit." we have followed the same.
    The installation has been completed successfully.But to do post-installation activities the java url in not comming up.
    ,we have tried with physical host and ip address as well.From os level we have found that server0 process is in running status.
    I am not sure why the installation guide is asking us to follow  Process Integration 7.1Installation >OptionsOptional Standalone Units >Partner Connectivity Kit?
    Will you please let me know whether this is the correct procedure for Installation of Adapter engine on Pi 7.1 EHP1
    is there any prerequisite steps are there for adapter enginee
    Thanks and Regards
    ravikiran.CH

    Hello
    From your description, it appears that you have installed a PCK and not a decentral Adapter Engine.
    I guess you need to follow Process Integration 7.1Installation
    -> Optional Standalone Units
    -> Adapter Engine
    You can undeploy the PCK by following the steps in the note #1295094 Initialization of PI 7.1 XITOOLS fails.

  • Decentral adapter engine & security

    Hi Guys,
    We have a requrement wherein there are 10 business systems in the landscape to be connected to XI. would it be advisable to install 10 decentral adapter engines on all the 10 business systems to ensure the security of the message sent by the different systems to SAP XI? Can we install the decentral adapter engine on the business system itself? If not, what could be the best option to ensure the secured message delivery to XI system from all the different business systems. I have read the ppt https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/03fd85cc-0201-0010-8ca4-a32a119a582d
    where it says that the decentral adapter engine should be used when close proximity with the business system is needed. Does it mean that we have to install the decentral adapter engine on every business system from which we want to ensure secure message transfer?
    <It is against the rules of Engagement to post a question with the catch of awarding points. Please refrain from the same.>
    Edited by: Bhavesh Kantilal on Dec 3, 2008 10:26 AM

    So, I think your have the answer in the link above:
    A decentral adapter engine is used when we need to connect to other applicaton systems through a firewall.
    Xi does not provide any such security, so in order to ensure security and to allow minimal access to out sld and other objects we use an external adapter engine(a decentralised adapter engine).
    An example of using a decentralised AE would be when we connect the PCK
    You could install a non-central adapter enfine/PCK in those business systems outside your network.
    In your inside business systems is not necessary.

  • Decentralized Adapter Engine or Local Adapter Engine

    Hi Experts,
    I hv a doubt like what exactly we are achieving by installing a local Adapter engine?  Is this something to handle the firewall protocols? In one of the SAP material, it has been mentioned that aditional adapter engines may need to be installed "Close" (in a network sense) to the Business System? What does it mean?  What are the advantages over a centralized adapter engine?
    regards

    Vijaya Lakshmi,
    Every XI installation will install a default adapter engine and these are called as the Central / Local Adapter Engines. Most of the times this one Adapter Engine is more than sufficient.
    At times, when the load on your server is going to be high , you can install a Decentral Adapter Engines and these are nothing but seprate instances of your Adapter Engine that can pick data and send it to your Integration Engine.
    The need for a decentral Adapter Engine also arises when you have security restrictions, DMZ , etc in the landscape where one adapter engie is used for one particluar DMZ and another acts as the local adapter engine etc.

  • How do you differentiate PCK and adapter engine

    how do you differentiate PCK and adapter engine?????

    HI Gabriel,
    the PCK is used,if you want to exchange Messages from or to XI. That means for that,you need on the sender or receiver Side a XI System. The one way is,that a XI sends the Native XML SOAP Messages via XI Adapter to the PCK.Then the message can be converted in some other formats,because the PCK has its own Adapter Engine. But there is no IDOC adapter.
    The second way ist,that for example you pick up XML Files with the PCK and transfer it to an XI system in the Native XML Format. With the PCK you can't do a File-to-File Transfer.
    The PCK is a standalone Application,which has its own Monitoring,Configuration and User Management.Instead of that, a decentral Adapter Engine is directly connected to an XI System and is configured centrally in the XI System
    PCK is a mini version of XI. It is used by smaller business partner (who cannot afford to install a full blown version XI) to exchange XI messages with large companies (having an XI installation).
    PCK has its own local Adapter engine.

  • 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)

    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.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Decentral Adapter Engine SOAP ( XI ) to ECC Proxy

    Hi,
    I'm facing a situation in one of our integration scenarios, where we have a Integrated Configuration ( Sender -> Decentral Adapter Engine -> Receiver ). File -> SOAP ( XI 3.0 ). On Adapter Engine I see the messages in OK status, but I didn't see them in ECC sxmb_moni...?
    Could you please help me where to check, what could be a problem?
    There are no issue in st22, no entries in smq2.
    Many Thanks,

    Hi Indrajit,
    yes exactly I did that, compare the number of successfully messages leaving PI and entering ECC and I have different numbers. I have 6 successfull from PI, 0 in ECC...
    This is the question, why? Where do I check except ST22, what kind of error occured. This happed once so far we are aware of...

  • Configuration Steps for Decentralized Adapter Engine

    Hi all,
    What all configuration steps are required to make Adapter Engine as
    Decentralized AE.
    I have made required changes in SLD DataSupplier in Visual Administrator.
    what more configurations have to be done? On SAP XI Server and Decentralized
    Adapter Engine.
    With regards
    Prasad

    Prasad,
    After configuring SLD data supplier in Visual Admin, you need to the following
    1) Configure the gateway service for the central integration server on adapter engine host.
    2) Perform Initial adapter engine cache refresh
    3) Trigger data transfer to SLD
    4) Check the connection parameters in exchangeProfile
    5) Create HTTP destination pmistore in java environment
    you have to go through all these tests for decentralized adapter engine. If you have XI configuration guide, it has all these steps in detail for you to configure

  • Decentralized Adapter Engine

    Hello,
    We have installed an XI landscape (XID, XIQ, XIP) on Unix along with a single decentralized Adapter Engine on Windows (XD1) which is currently configured for use with our XID system. We would like to also use this same decentralized Adapter Engine with our XIQ system. However, when we export a communication channel from XID that is configured to use the decentralized adapter engine (af.XID.calxid1) and subsequently import the communication channel into XIQ the decentralized Adapter
    engine that was configured in XID (af.XD1.calxid1) is
    replaced with "Integration Server"  (Default) in the Communication Channel configuration in XIQ. The pull down to choose an adapter engine shows only the (Default) Integration server as an available choice. Currently XID and XIQ are using the same SLD and the decentralized adapter engine (af.XD1.calxid1) is identified there. I have been unable to determine how to use the decentralized adapter engine with our XIQ system.  Does anyone know whether it is possible to have multiple XI systems using the same de-centralized Adapter Engine?  And if it is possible how does one configure the second XI system (XIQ) to use the decentralized adapter engine?
    Thanks.

    Hello Dan,
    a decentralized AE can only be attached to a single Integration Server.

  • Decentralized Adapter Engine working

    Hi guys,
    I have installed a decentralized adapter engine for my XI Server. I have a scenario which i run with default Adapter Engine(Integration Server), runs fine.
    However, when i run it with choosing Decentralized AE it gives such errors in
    Message Monitoring:
    Exception caught by adapter framework: null
    Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: RecoverableException.
    Also i am testing this for two simple file2file scenarios. It's acting differently; in a scenario sender commn channel picks file, in other not.
    Is there any configuration settings that's remaining? Or something else?
