AS2 Sender and receiver adapter.

Hi All,
I have to develop a scenario where i have to send/receive some GS1 messages to/from our trading partner using AS2 adapters. I have gone through some of the links and blogs realted to as2 adapters but still have some doubts. Request you to help me in understanding those:
1) In receiver AS2 adapter, i am using HTTPS transport protocol and in that case i have to mention some entries like Server certificate and private key authentication under "SSL certificates". So, just wanted to confirm that do i get these certificates from out trading partner and then i have to deploy this on PI server?? If yes then whats the procedure for the same??
2) In sender AS2 adapter, metioning only unique AS2ID (provided by our trading partner) under party identification will result into a communication with our trading partner??or do i need to do something else from my end also??
I am very new to AS2 adapter concepts, so please help me..
Thanks
Amit

Hi Amit,
Check the below answers
Q) In receiver AS2 adapter, i am using HTTPS transport protocol and in that case i have to mention some entries like Server certificate and private key authentication under "SSL certificates". So, just wanted to confirm that do i get these certificates from out trading partner and then i have to deploy this on PI server?? If yes then whats the procedure for the same??
A). Yes you need to maintain the Server certificate and private key authentication, generally certificate and SSL certificates are different, but some customers uses the same certificate for SSL also. after you receive the certificate from the customer BASIS people will deploy this certificate in NWA and provide you the path, that path you need to give.
Q) In sender AS2 adapter, metioning only unique AS2ID (provided by our trading partner) under party identification will result into a communication with our trading partner??or do i need to do something else from my end also??
A). AS2ID we mention only at Party.
Q). I guess, we usually have message subject as "*" in sender AS2 adapters.
A). Generally we can use '' so that it can take any message subject data, if your customer using some subject line always then we can use that subject instead of '', but once they changed the subject line it doesn't handle that message.
Q). But one more thing , i am not sure only specifying WAN number ie AS2ID and message subject(as suggested), will setup a communication between a trading partner and XI system??
A). VAN (Value Added Network) is like our network, but they provide the extra security. Instead of Customer details we can give the VAN details, here no customer details are required and there is no other communication required to the partner. Once we send data to the VAN, then VAN sends that data to customer.

Hadeling multiple files in sender and receiver adapter

Hi ,
In my sender FTP server multiple files gets created at a same time i want to send this same files to the target FTP server am not doing any file content conversion. Just pick this multiple files at a single poll and drop it in the target FTP system.
I gave . in the as file name parameter in the sender file adapter..PI system picks all the files as separate message but if i give . in the receiver adapter itu2019s not creating the file and its giving Java exception..
Is there any other method to do this without having File content conversion... ?
Regards
Shakfie

I gave *.* in the as file name parameter in the sender file adapter..PI system picks all the files as separate message but if i give *.* in the receiver adapter itu2019s not creating the file and its giving Java exception..
For receiver adapter you have to give some file name, '.' will not work for receiver adapter. So give any temporary name just to satisfy the mandatory field. And when you selet the ASMA settings in both SENDER & RECEIVER adapter then your Receiver File adapter will write the same file name which it has picked up and NOT the one which you have written in your receiver adapter.
Note: Set ASMA setting in both else you will not get the same file name at receiver. You can see the same in blog given by Siva. You need not to create any UDF since you are not using any mapping. Just use the ASMA settings.. that's it.

Prerequisites for Sender and Receiver FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I am new to PI and configuring simple file to file scenario. I need to know the prerequsites for sender and receiver FTP adapter. Scenario is System A -> XI -> System B .
What I want to know is:
1> What ports need to be opened?
2> Any service that I need to activate?
3> Do I need to install FTP server in any of the machine?
If I have missed something, please add.
Br,
Nilz

Hi,
1> What ports need to be opened?
mentioned in below link as said its 21.
2> Any service that I need to activate?
No
3> Do I need to install FTP server in any of the machine?
THere are two ways by which u can pick ur file.
1) NFS by which u can put the file on XI appplication directory and pick up ur file.
2) FTP u have to put ur file on FYP server and XI will pick up the file from there. U can use freeware FTP and install it on ur Desktop search on goolge u will get ti FTP installtion.
refer the below configuration requirement for FIle adapter.

Determine Sender and Receiver in adapter module?

All,
Non-XML messages from different senders are received via the same JMS queue. In the text payload, the ID of the sender and receiver is contained.
Would it be technically possible to develop a JMS adapter module that sets the Sender Party, Sender Service, Receiver Party and Receiver Service based on the content of the message payload? Is it possible to influence sender and receiver in an adapter module?
Kind regards, Guy Crets

Hi Steven,
It seems like you can not convince XI to pick up a new message. The code below works when you use "inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);" but not with "inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msgnew);".
The error in the Runtime Workbench is: "Catching exception calling messaging system' found, cause: javax.transaction.InvalidTransactionException: Cannot invoke call from within a transactional context.".
I tried to set the RefToMessageId on the new message, but this does not work either.
Does anybody know why the InvalidTransactionException is thrown?
Here is the example code:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext, ModuleData inputModuleData) throws ModuleException
try {
    Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup(
      com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConnectionFactory.JNDI_NAME);
    MessageFactory factory = cf.createMessageFactory("XI");
    Message msgnew = factory.createMessage(
      msg.getFromParty(),msg.getToParty(),
      msg.getFromService(),msg.getToService(), msg.getAction());
    msgnew.setConversationId(msg.getConversationId());
    msgnew.setDocument(msg.getDocument());
    inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msgnew);
catch (Throwable t)
    ModuleException me = new ModuleException("MyException");
    throw me;
return inputModuleData;

BizTalkServer 2010 SFTP Adapter from CodePlex - Configuring send and receive locations with SSH public and private keys

Hi there,
I am looking for step by step instrcutions on how to configure SFTP Codeplex adapter for both receive and send ports.
Out business partner with whom we push/poll the files from wants us to use SSH encryption/decryption etc.
Just wondering if the following functionality is supported in Codeplex SFTP adatper without having to write any code.
Appreciate if there is manaul to do this for SFTP. BTW I do have all the our public and private keys and business partners Public key for configuring.
For Send port: 1. we would need to encrypt the file with our business partners public key
                      2. sign the file with our private key.
                      3. Send the file through to SSH client which eventually transfers to Remote server.
Receive port:   1. Connect to SSH Server with SSH-2 key and receive the file
                      2. Verify the file's digital signature agaisnt the Business partners PGP public key
                      3. Decrypt the file using our PGP Public key
Thanks in advance

Yes it is supported.
You can find its documentation in this link
You can find section X.509 Certificate Identity Keys
You can set public and private key in property SSH Identity thumbprint of send and receive port
I prefer to test it using client tool like
FileZilla or WinSCP then test it using sftp adapter

Code to retrive the sender and receiver interface names using custome adapter module

Hello Team,
I want to develop an custom adapter module which could retrieve the names of the sender and receiver interfaces of the scenario and for that i am trying to use com.sap.aii.af.service.administration.api.monitoring.ProcessContextFactory.ParamSet but i don't know whether this API will support or not and also i don't know how to develop the code using this API so please suggest me some code for it so that i could retrieve the names.
Thanks you all in advance.
Regards,
Avinash.

Hi,
Just ASMA setting will do the needful. Are you planning to rename your target file name. If yes then only you will require UDF.
Update: Since your directory name will be taken from source file name then you have to use mapping for this, else it will not be possible.
I don't know if creating a new module for this will help you solve the issue, but in that case rather creating adapter module, mapping will be easier.

Sarvesh

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

IDOC Sender Adapter and Receiver Adapter

Hi,
Why we don't require IDOC Sender Adapter to communicate with PI and why IDOC Receiver Adapter is required to communicate with SAP ?

Hi,
>>>Why we don't require IDOC Sender Adapter to communicate with PI
you're talking about sender and receiver agreements right ?
as this adapter is based on abap stack - with new functionalities of IDOC adapter
require sender agreement
>>>and why IDOC Receiver Adapter is required to communicate with SAP ?
as we need to put the RFC to the destination system somewhere...

Send and Receive ACK 997 over AS2

Hi,
I have AS2/EDI setup in place and is working fine. The only thing remaining is sending and receiving Ack 997. How can I do that? What is the quickest way of doing it?
Please help. I need it urgently. I'm sure there must be some quick way of doing the same.
Thanks.

Hi Dipti,
If you have setup ready with parties then you need to add agreement
and in the agreement configure the acknowledgements section.
Go through following articles:
BizTalk Server EDI Scenario: Send an X12 Message and Receive an Acknowledgement

Asynchronous MDN
If you not have parties added then first do that and then create agreement between them:

Need to use only one sender and receiver communication channel.

Hello Experts.
I have a scenario where in I have to use only one sender and receiver communication channel to push files from different source directories to different receiver directories.
For Eg;
Sender
D://dir1/file1 --->                  E://dir1/File1
F://dir2/file2 ---->                 G://dir2/file2
H://dir3/file3----->                 I://dir3/file3.
Can this be achieved by using pass through scenario?
Please let me know if the requirement is not clear.
Thanks in advance.
Advit Ramesh

Hi Advit,
I think it is possible. You have to use the Advanced Selection for Source file in the sender channel to define multiple files to be picked up. Also, the Dynamic configuration must also be enabled and used in the mapping so you can manipulate the target directory and target file name based on your source files.

XI3 SOAP sender and Receiver

Hi
I am stuck with a connecting to scenarios using SOAP channel. In short there is one business scenario that based on some conditions must start other scenarios (each one built around one business process). I am trying to send asynchronous SOAP message within the same XI and treat it as a External XI system to start another Business Scenario (using XI adapter does not work as the system discovers the message as being in a loop).
Everything would be fine if there would be 1 target scenarios but I have 1:n. For asyncronous transport I have defined different Message Interfaces to be used for on each case. So XI should determine the right business process based on the message interface that uses the communication channel.
So I have configured a SOAP sender and a receiver channel. As I understood from SOAP adapter FAQ I checked "Use Encoded Headers" and "Use Query String" for both - sender and receiver channel. And ofcourse receiver channel is pointed to http://:/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:{system name}:{receiver channel name} but when I start the initiating scenario the asyncronous message is sent of but nobody is catching it.
In RWB Message monitoring / adapter engine I found the the message receives an exeception:
SOAP: response message contains an error XIServer/UNKNOWN/ModuleUnknownException -
com.sap.aii.af.mp.module.ModuleException: either no channelID
specified or no channel found for the specified party, service, and channel name,

Any ideas... how to make XI to send SOAP messages so that the same XI system would be able to pick them up?
Or what have I done wrong?
Best wishes,
Heiko

hi,
What is the format that u are using for the sender URL....The error message you are getting either because the names that you have mentioned in the sender URL are wrong or the URl format itslef is wrong.....if the format is the one that you have mentioned in the first post then it is not the desired format.
Use the following format to create the URL to send the request:
http://<servernameORserverIPaddress>:<portNumber>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<senderservice>:<snederCCname>&version=3.0&Sender.Service=<senderservice>&Interface=<IRnamespace>%5E<senderMI>
Replace
with
& amp;
(no space inbetween the two words) in the above URL.
How to configure SOAP communication channels (sender and receiver) so that two XI instances could communicate and (more important) use different message interfaces on the same channel?
While creating a Receiver communication channel there is no need to specify the interface name and hence it can be used in different scenarios....however a sender communication needs the sender interface to be specified (as in SAP XI.....not in SAP PI).....so a sender channel can be used in different scenarios but with only the same interface.....

Sender and receiver channel parameters

Hi Experts,
I am working on a flat file to flat file scnario. I need to remove the first two lines and last two lines from the flat file and send it to ECC via PI
The flat file looks like this
%802 750285 7502857 7502
%JHKJ UYOU 99 9090
dfafds 2255425 4545 sdfs fsdfsdf dsffs fsfda sfsf
rewre ewrewr wetwt wtwtw
%iuoi iuipo
%7878 8787
so i need to remove the first two lines (starts with % symbol) and last two lines (starts with % symbol) and convert back to flat file and send it to ECC.
I have created the data types as
Source Data type
DT_Source
Header 1..1
Header1
Header2
Recordset 1.. Unbounded
Record 1.1
Trailer 1...1
Trailer1
Trailer2
Target Data type
DT_Target
Recordset 1.. unbounded
Record 1.1
Could you plz let me know the sender and receiver channel parameters
Regards,
Vai

Hi Vaigai,
Grzegorz is right.
You can read all the flat file and remove the first two and last two lines using a mapping.
Check this link. There are some content conversion parameters in the sender file adapter that can be helpful

Question about Sender and Receiver Structure for JDBC

Dear All,
I want to know why there is a fixed format for sender and receiver structure for JDBC. why cant we use the structure like what we want? explain me in detail.
Thanks

Good Question:
We have to create our data structure based on the existing database table structure. While reading or writing , JDBC adapter convert our data type structure in to SQL Query Statements that matches Table structure.
