All Communications Channels go to red status.

Hello Folks,
We are on PI .0 SP 19.
I see a repeated problem in our system. All our communications channels go to red status every two weeks. During this time there is a disruption in our services....
I noticed that many of the service nodes goes to red....
The systems seems to come up only when all service nodes are restarted or the entire Java service is restarted...this seems to happen every 2 weeks...
I am not sure what is causing all our channels to go into error status at once. Would appreciate it someone advices me on how to investigate this problem furter...
Has anyone faced similar problems before??
Regards
Arvind

Mine is only an idea...
However, i don't know so much about java memory space... but for tablespace, you can look this document:

All Communication Channels stopped or startet when restart of the SAP-PI

is there any way to control the Communication Channels (to be startet or to be stopped during the next SAP-PI system start) while the SAP-PI is not running.
for a special data migration reason, we have stopped all Communication Channels except one Comm.channel.
after finishing the migration and for a backup, we shut down the SAP-PI system.
for the next SAP-PI system start, all of the Communication Channels should be run again.
is there any way to control (to be startet again for the next SAP-PI system start) the Communication Channels while the SAP-PI system is already shut down
or is the only possible way to start the SAP-PI system, and then manually start the needed Communication Channels.

Hi,
If you bring PI server down then all the channels will automatically stop and you can not control these channels when the server is down.You can again start these channels when the server is up and running.....

Disabling all communication channels before starting XI

We are mirroring our XI system for DR purposes and I need to work out how to stop XI from retrieving and delivering messages when I start it up. I want to be able start up the DR system on the same network to check that it looks OK, but with all communication channels disabled (or stopped!).
Does anybody know how to do this?
Regards,
Jason

Hello All,
Sorry for opening a topic that is very old but every google search ends up here.
Run the script to set the channels to “STOPPED” state:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[XI_AF_ADM_STATE] set ACTIVATION_STATE = 'STOPPED';
This the script below will set the History of the communication channels to STOPPED:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[XI_AF_ADM_STATEHIS] set ACTIVATION_STATE = 'STOPPED';
This will set the automatic scheduled communication channels schedule to disabled:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[[XI_AF_ADM_SCHEDULE] set ENABLED = '0';
Next for disabling new incoming messages. Disable the Integration Engine (Set ENTRY LOCK to 1):
if exists (select * from <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] where CLIENT = '200' and AREA = 'RUNTIME' and PARAM = 'ENTRY_LOCK')
update <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] set VALUE = '0' where CLIENT = '200' and AREA = 'RUNTIME' and PARAM = 'ENTRY_LOCK';
else
insert into <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] (CLIENT, AREA, PARAM, SUBPARAM, GENERIC, VALUE, CHGTSTAMP, CHGUSER)
VALUES ('200', 'RUNTIME', 'ENTRY_LOCK', '', '0', '1', '20131206011316.8280000', 'DDIC');
The following will disable the abap RFC's:
update [SID].[sid].[RFCDES] set RFCOPTIONS = REPLACE(RFCOPTIONS,'N=','N=#') where RFCTYPE = 'T';
update [SID].[sid].[RFCDES] set RFCOPTIONS = REPLACE(RFCOPTIONS,'H=','H=#') where RFCTYPE = '3';
Replace <SID> with the sap<sid>.
Keep in mind that the mail is still being send out when you start SAP.
To active the Integration Server for incoming messages:
f you have locked the Integration Server for incoming messages, open it by calling the transaction Integration Engine - Administration (SXMB_ADM) and choosing Integration Engine Configuration Specific Configuration Change New Entries . Select the category RUNTIME and then the parameter ENTRY LOCK: Set the current value to 0 (NOT LOCKED) and choose Save
The message in the queues are still being processed.

How to receive alert mails when communication channel fails

Hi everybody,
Today there were in the "Communication Channel Monitoring" of the Runtime Workbench some Communication Channels in a "red" status and I would like to know if it is possible to receive per mail any alerts about a failing communication channel?
In SXMB_MONI the error is the following:
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: RfcAdapter: receiver channel has static errors: can not instantiate RfcPool caused by: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.RfcAdapterException: error initializing RfcClientPool:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.repository.RfcRepositoryException: can not connect to destination system due to: com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (102) RFC_ERROR_COMMUNICATION: Connect to message server host failed Connect_PM TYPE=B MSHOST=ECPOPR1.corp GROUP=PRODUCCION_SANTANDER R3NAME=PR1 MSSERV=sapmsPR1 PCS=1 ERROR partner not reached (host ECPOPR1.corp, service sapmsPR1) TIME Mon Apr 20 03:25:16 2009 RELEASE 640 COMPONENT NI (network interface) VERSION 37 RC -10 MODULE nixxi_r_mt.cpp LINE 8688 DETAIL NiPConnect2 SYSTEM CALL SiPeekPendConn ERRNO 79 ERRNO TEXT A remote host refused an attempted connect operation. COUNTER 1</SAP:AdditionalText>
Usually, I receive mail alerts when messages failed since I have CCMS configurated but in the CCMS I don´t see any entries for this kind of errors with a Communication Channel...
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Olivier

Hi!
You can receive Alerts even though you are configured CCBPM. Through Control Step you can throw alerts but only difference between PI7.1 and XI is in 7.1 you can easily create Alert categoy in ESR itself at java stack but in XI you can't create it in Java stack you need to create this ALert category though ALRTCATDEF t code in ABAP Stack even though in 7.1 you created in Java Stack it will be reflecting in ABAP Stack.
Next thing is later you need to Configure ALert Rules in RWB and in ABAP Stack at Alert Category you need to Add your XI SAP ID;s at FIxed Receipients and before adding this Ask your Basis people to link your company mail ID or any mail ID with SAP ID so that you can receive Alerts both in RWB ALert Inbox as well as your Mail Server.
Since the above experts given diff blogs you can easily configure...
I hope u understand the flow....right ?

In PI7.1 channels showing RED status actually working without issue

Dear All,
In PI prod environment, we have two decentralized server on which SFTP channels are deployed.
once few SFTP channels got into error with socket exception stating: Could not connect to remote host or directory.
However there was something strange to see that the communication channels were in the error status but the messages were still processing. No issues reported by the business: business impact = 0.
this incident has happened twice.
Can someone tell me what could be the reason of this wrong status?
before raising OSS , I want to know if someone has faced this issue?
Regards,
Ratnapriya

Hi ,
There might be some issue with the channel initialy but it would have resolved after some time. When the channel retried after certain time the channel polled successfully.
Channel shows in RED status untill all the 25 entries are filled in your channel processing details(if all your channel entries in processing details is filled with successfull message ID's the channel will automatically change to green ).

Naveen.

Communication Channel Status Is Shwoing RedLed(Error)

Hi,
I used File Adapter in my communication channels that is FTP ... scenario is working fine.. but in the RWB- Communication Channel Monitoring the Communication cHannel is showing RedLed(ERROR Status)
The FTP server was running on UNIX.. that is Bourne Shell ... If the file is there in the source directory it was processing successfully.. even though the remaing all the time it was throwing the following Error Mesage in the RWB-Communication Channel Monitoring..
Could not process file 'SIMS-10.xml: No such file or directory': com.sap.exception.standard.SAPIllegalArgumentException: The parameter "argument" has the value "ftp://10.25.10.6:21./SIMS-10.xml: No such file or directory", so it contains the character "ftp://10.25.10.6:21./SIMS-10*.xml: No such file or directory" which is not allowed
Please Suggest me.
Regards
Jain

Hi ,
We are polling a particular FTP site for files. If file is found communication channel is showing green led with no error message, but when file is not found it is showing red led with an error message in RWB .
My concern :
1. We applied the same approach in other scenarios also , but never came across this type of situation. In other cases if file is not found, communication channel is not showing red led and error message , so this is a metter of real concern to me.
2. I believe that if communication channel is showing red led then definately alerts will get triggered for any error in adapter engine . correct me if wrong ...?
the only difference i found is the shell on which FTP site is configured...We are getting error in bourne shell but no errors in Korn shell ,,,Our XI box is on HP-UX but FTP site is on Solaris 2.8
Is it a bug In PI 7.0 ....?or Something is missing from FTP site ? or some configuration missing at configuration channel level.
Regards

Communication Channel status successful but file Not Delivered.

Hi All
I have a receiver communication channel which is showing status as SUCCESSFUL but the log says The message status was set to NDLV. Due to which am unable to retrigger it even form Message Monitoring
Its set to FTP & is not received at that side.
Kindly put in your inputs on the possible solution for this issue.
Regards
Soumen!!!

I dont think it is held in queue.....you will get an error (the one which you got) and then the message will go into Error state.
When the channels are stopped and it receives a file it raises an error alert and is set to error state. Later when channel is started the file gets processed(You can try doing it.I did). Here it gave the error message but sets the channel to successful. Thats what is botehring me.
Looks like you are scheduling the receiver channel....why?
Had some requirement...
@ Balaji : Its successful

Communication channel - standard t-code/table

Hi,
Need some help...
Is there any standard t-code by which we can start/stop/automate mass communication channel at a time ?
or
Any t-code by which we can start/stop/automate single communication channel ?
(I mean w/o going to moni_ifr -> rwb -> ...etc)
Also want master table in which communication channel and its status (like start/stop/auto/any ATP)is stored ( I did not find this info in SMPREL3/SMPPMAP3)
Note : I checked que/ans already posted and also checked "/people/gourav.khare2/blog/2007/12/12/interesting-abap-tables-in-xi-150-part-i link but did not found relevent info.
Thanks.
Ramiz...

Thanks Ibrahim/Abhishek/volker
My problem is :
we have frequent maintenance activity for our production system. and all the time we need to stop/start all cc to avoid any message failure during this maintenance. Manual stop/start from RWB requires lots of time. we have approx 100 cc(and increasing...) and all need to stop before maintenance and start after maintenance complete.
I want any standard t-code that can do this... and if not any standard then want make something in abap that can do this and we can avoid such a time consuming process.
As per the replies :
1)manual as mentioned above
-> this requires lots of time every time maintenance activities happens.
2) as mentioned by abhishek thru external controlling
-> I need to look into this but Its one cc at a time
3) And availability planning by selecting the option to control it automatically
-> we are using this functionality but during our maintenance activity this will not be useful as maintenance activity happens anytime/any day.
As per the Volker,
Hi Ramiz!
Because almost all communication channels are part of the Java Adapter Engine you will not find a table in ABAP stack and you will also not find a transaction to control them.
But - like already mentioned by others in this thread - you can build your own tool to do this job.
Regards,
Volker
There is no abap table that stores CC...so I need to build my own tool to do this job...
But donu2019t have exact idea what/how to build !
Plz. let me know if you find anything related to this...
Thanks a lot for help.
Thanks.

Issue with updation of communication channel

Hi Experts,
I have configured a JMS to Proxy scenario in XI system. i have changed the "Queue name" parameter in sender communication channel for the JMS adapter. the new Queue name is not being used by the interface.
when i monitor the messages for the this interface, i found that system is still using the Old Queue name.
can you please suggest a way to resolve this issue.
-Kaushik

Hi,
I am not sure if this resolves the issue.
Stop the channel using RWB>Adapter Engine>Communication Channel Monitoring
Identify your JMS sender Communication channel and stop it.
Go to ID and reedit this channel and activate.
Comeback to previous Communication Channel Monitoring check the status of activated Communication Channel (start it if it is still in stopped mode)

Communication Channel Stop and Start

Hello everyone,
We are using XI along with MQ for queing messages to our 3rd party logistics. Due to some issues happened in the past, it is decided to stop and restart the MQ channels every weekend. Now the problem is, when the MQ is down, some of the XI communication channels will go down, and will not start automatically, when the MQ bounces back. Now this had created a manual activity every weekend to stop and start all communication channels.
Question is, is there any way we can schedule it as a job to stop and start the channels, at a specific time ?

Hi!
It is possible in scheduling the messages in XI...
1. But before doing this make sure that at what time you want to be schedule ?
2. Is that time will be uniform for every week or else is it may varies ?
3. If Uniform please make schedule or else if it is varying note the difference between those timings I mean
     If your Messages are flowing for every Tuesday and also every Thursday...., etc..
4. You can schedule what ever may be the time it is suppose if those timings are varying weekly once a
     day but in that single day or next day if it was more than once..then better scheduling the
      communication channels to be start for and to be process for that particular 2 days and remaining days
      it wont work I mean stopping Cc
5. Now when come to process...in scheduling...
a) Click RWB>Component Monitoring>Communication Channel monitoiing
b) Right side u can check Availability TIme planning option click that..a seperate window will opens
    THere u can observe these options..
c) also u can see the log
I hope it will be useful to you...
Availability plan--> ONCE /DIALY / WEEKLY/ MONTHLY based on your req select any one...
Create: to create the scheduling...
change: to change the existing one
Save: to save
Reset if u want toreset alll
Delete and copy also as u know these..
While creating you can again see these options 3 main TABS
details: --> Corresponding details
CC: select ur chanel
OPTION 2
In XI 3.O you can directly do scheduling there after selecting the radio button of any Comunication channel and there adjacent to Audit log u can see availability time plan other than rt side top corder..
I hope it will be useful to u

Mail to File Integration(Mail Sender Communication channel status RED)

Hi all,
I am doing Email to File Integration Scenario, XI is reading mails from an particular exchange server mail id & putting it in to a file. now all IR & ID configuration is done.
But in RuntimeW Bench -> Adapter Monitreing The Sender Mail Communication Channel is RED with error occured: exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: invalid IMAP status response; not finding * STATUS, but 00KC NO The requested item could not be found

We check the Exchange Server login Acess through TELNET ,as suggested from SAP Service marketplace
and login is successfull, with details available of Inbox
but in TENET when we try to execute the IMAP Status command error message comes
" expected space not found" .
Since XI is not able to read the inbox mail, so Sxmb_moni is blank.....
can any body suggest that this issus is related to that IMAP Status..........or some thing else..
our URL is correct.
Regards,
Ashutosh

the URL path was wrong...
it should end with .......exchange/Inbox/
the sender channel was having error RED ,but it was showing green status intially because delay update .....

JMS communication channel red

Hi all,
I have configured the JMS sender communication channel in ID. but the status is red. When i configured the JMS Adapter in Decentral adapter engine(with same details),the status is green.
Please help me out.
The error says that " Sender channel : details null"/
What should we do so as to make our communication channel green?
Need clarifications:
Communication channel config happens in central adapter engine....When i use decentral adapter engine, should i define communication channels also....
If yes, then it will be something like we are making use of both adapter engines right.
please correct me if i'm missing something.
Thanks and regards
rahul

Hi Venkat,
I tried the manual process. The document says that the meta-inf and server folder should be maintained in the sda file including the sub files and the path should be maintained for those sub files....But if i save the path info in the zip file, its returning error when i try to deploy(Error: attribute missing,vendor missing).
On removing the path info,i'm able to delpoy but the adapter status is red.
My SDA structure is not same as the one specified in the document.
i am not getting the meta-inf and server folder in that zip file.only the sub files are included.
please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards
rahul
