Call Webservice with XI SOAP Adapter

Hi there,
I can't find sufficient information in the other posting about my scenario therefore I start a new again about XI and webservice.
These parts are working:
file adapter to XI and the SOAP Adapter is calling the Webservice (in the logfile I see the request from the XI)
These parts aren't working:
the response from the webservice
Now my question:
Is it necessarily to create a new Message Interface with communication channel from the webservice to XI or is it sufficient with an synchrony Message Interface and can I take a look of the response in the XI_Monitor.
Where I can find information about an similarly scenario?
THX for helping comments
Kind Regards Johann

Hi Johann,
As others have adviced you dont need a seperate communication channel for the response message. Declaring your message interface as synch is enough.
Also can you check SXMB_MONI for the request and the response messages. Just use transaction SXMB_MONI. and see if you get checked flags(successfull) or a red flag (error) for your messages.
But Could you pls tell me if your are using the BPM for your scenario??
If you are not getting response from the web service it could aalso be that the WEB Service is not working properly.
First try to access the web link for the website using IE.
Pls read the following for your reference:
In the SENDER SOAP ADAPTER, you will need to put the URL provided by the company and the SOAP ACTION to invoke a particular WEB METHOD. You will also need to provide URL Authorization, Proxy settings.
make sure you are using the right SOAP ACTION.
Hope this helps or revert back.
Regards,
Ashish

Issue with Receiver SOAP adapter for synchronous scenario

Hello All,
We are facing a strange issue with the SOAP adapter in the interface we have setup. This is the 1st time we are using SOAP adapter in our system (PI 7.11 SP7). We are making a synchronous HTTP call to the web service exposed by another system in our landscape. The payload is send with SOAP envelope and there are no credentials to be maintained in PI settings.
The issue is that we are always getting timeout exception in PI audit logs after sending the request (3 minutes - standard timeout value, no additional config for this). But target system has confirmed that they are sending the response back. We tested from our server OS level and have received the response back in the same screen (to verify there is no firewall/port issue in between the systems). But when tried from RWB, it is always giving the timeout exception and we are not able to see any other log.
We have tried checking in the NWA logs as well after increasing the logging level to ALL for com.sap.aii.adapter.soap. But surprisingly, we didn't get any logs at all for the outgoing SOAP call or incoming response and hence we are unable to trace the issue.
We have setup another synchronous inbound SOAP interface (PI exposing the webservice) and it is working fine. We are also able to trace the logs in both audit log and NWA logs.
Is there anywhere else we can check for the logs? Audit logs is showing timeout error and we are not able to see anything in NWA logs.
Does the target system need to maintain PI credentials in the header when they send the synchronous response back?
Are there any specific settings which should be checked to enable the sync communication? (this should not be the case since the inbound interface is working fine)
Please help.
Thanks
Justin

Hi Amit,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes we had tested successfully via SOAP UI as well (forgot to mention that). We are getting back the expected response in SOAP UI without using any credentials. We got the same response when we tested it through OS commands from PI server.
The WS is hosted by the target system and they haven't maintained any credentials at their end. So when PI is trying to access, we don't need to provide any credentials. My question is, whether the target system should keep any credentials to send the synchronous response back to PI (java stack). We have tried that as well but since there aren't any logs, we are unable to verify whether the credentials are coming correctly.
The service interfaces are correct and PI configuration are OK. I will try the XPI inspector for logs as you have suggested.
Thanks
Justin

Certificate based authentication with sender SOAP adapter. Please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where first a .Net application makes a webservice call to XI via SOAP Adapter. Then the input from the .Net application is sent to the R/3 system via RFC adapter.
.Net --->SOAP -
>XI -
>RFC -
R/3 System
Now as per client requirement I have to implement certificate based authentication in the sender side for the webservice call. In this case the .Net application is the "client" and XI is the "server". In other words the client has to be authenticated by XI server. In order to accomplish this I have setup the security level in the SOAP sender channel as "HTTPS with client authentication". Additionally I have assigned a .Net userid in the sender agreement under "Assigned users" tab.
I have also installed the SSL certificate in the client side. Then generated the public key and loaded it into the XI server's keystore.
When I test the webservice via SOAPUI tool I am always getting the "401 Unauthorized" error. However if I give the userid/password for XI login in the properties option in the SOAPUI tool then it works fine. But my understanding is that in certificate based authentication, the authentication should happen based on the certificate and hence there is no need for the user to enter userid/password. Is my understanding correct? How to exactly test certificate based authentication?
Am I missing any steps for certificate based authentication?
Please help
Thanks
Gopal

Hi!
Although soapUI is a very goot SOAP testing tool, you can't test certificate based authentication with it. There is no way (since I know) how to import certificat into soapUI.
So, try to find other tool, which can use certificates or tey it directly with the sender system.

Error while calling webservice with SOAP Receiver

Hi Experts,
When we run the report on the ECC 6.0 server we call the web service which is configured as a receiver SOAP Adapter, we are getting the following error:
XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: Not enough message parts were received for the operation
Can somebody throw a light on this error and how to overcome it.
Thanking You
With Best Regards
Suk4023

>Can somebody throw a light on this error and how to overcome it.
Import WSDL and Use soapui or xmlspy and try to send the request and see the response. Make sure your WSDL URL is valid one too. After testing update more informaton on this.

Invoking a Webservice using a SOAP adapter

Hi,
I have the following scenario.
SAP ABAP outbound proxy <-> SAP XI <--> External webservice.
The above call is a synchronous call from SAP R/3 and a receiver soap adapter is configured for the Webservice.
I am getting the following error messages when I try to run the scenario.
1)ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION.
2)<SAP:AdditionalText>
soap fault: Server did not recognize the value of HTTPHeaderSOAPAction
</SAP:AdditionalText>
What could be the possible reasons for the error message?
In the target URL of the soap adapter I am specifying the path till .asmx.
Thanks,
Leo

Hi,
There are 2 pieces of data that must be provided in the SOAP receiver adapter. Both of them can be obtained from the WSDL of the soap service provider.
1. Target URL, which can be obtain from the attribute "location" of the "address" element in the WSDL.
2. SOAP Action, which can be obtain from the "soapAction" attibute of the "operation" element in the WSDL.
Regards,
Bill

Problem with the SOAP adapter !

Hi!
We are trying to use a WebServices from XI.
In the WSDL file that we have imported and use'd in
our mapping the information about the soap header look's
like this :
<wsdlsoap:header message="impl:serviceRequest" part="toCountry" use="literal" />
<wsdlsoap:header message="impl:serviceRequest" part="fromCountry" use="literal" />
<wsdlsoap:header message="impl:serviceRequest" part="language" use="literal" />
<wsdlsoap:header message="impl:serviceRequest" part="customerCodeOwner" use="literal" />
<wsdlsoap:header message="impl:serviceRequest" part="customerCode" use="literal" />
<wsdlsoap:header message="impl:serviceRequest" part="userId" use="literal" />
<wsdlsoap:header message="impl:serviceRequest" part="userPassword" use="literal" />
But then the message leave the SOAP adapter
it looks like this:
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>
<SOAP:Header/>
<SOAP:Body>
<ns1:serviceRequest xmlns:ns1='http://www.dnbnordic.com/brg/NRGDecisionSupportDSC/wsdl'>
<nRGDecisionSupportDSCRequest>
<ns2:criteria xmlns:ns2='http://www.dnbnordic.com/brg/NRGDecisionSupportDSC/request'>
<ns2:socialSecurityNumberApplicant>XXXXXXXXXX</ns2:socialSecurityNumberApplicant>
<ns2:conversationCode>X</ns2:conversationCode>
</ns2:criteria>
</nRGDecisionSupportDSCRequest>
<toCountry>XX</toCountry>
<fromCountry>XX</fromCountry>
<language>XX</language>
<customerCodeOwner>SYD9001</customerCodeOwner>
<customerCode>XXXXXXX</customerCode>
<userId>XXXX</userId>
<userPassword>XXXXXX</userPassword>
</ns1:serviceRequest>
</SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
The SOAP header info. is in the body !
Ofcourse the message fails !!
Any ideas ??
//Stig

Hi Stig,
Although specified in the WSDL 1.1 spec, the use of soap:header is quite rare.
And having a soap header consisting of multiple parts and not referring to single XSDL element is a bit in conflict with the document/literal approach.
Bottom line: please try and convince your business partner to not use the soap:header trick and stick to standard document/literal web services.

Hi!
Thanks for the help:
- I give all proxy details. In HTTP and HTTPS proxy tabs too.
one interesting thing:
- We publicate the same WebService with HTTP and HTTPS prefix.
- If I create a proxy for the WS with HTTP, everything is correct and works well.
- If I create a proxy for the WS with HTTPS, gives the error written the previous posts. (And can't create the logical port with SOAMANAGER)
I compare the 2 WSDL. It is the same, except the links. (HTTP and HTTPS) all others are same.
- And why it is possible in both case (HTTP, HTTPS) to create the proxy with SE80 from the WSDL URL? (And after the logical port was failed)

Send attachment with receiver SOAP adapter

Dear Guru's,
We have created a scenario SAP ERP (ABAP Proxy) -> PI 7.0 -> (Webservice) OSB.
In the ABAP Proxy have we attached a file (jpg). In the SXMB_MONI we see first the file (named attach), and second the MainDocument. It seem's this is the wrong sequence.
We tried to correct this with AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean in the receiver SOAP adapeter, but it does not work.
There are blogs who tells about how to configure the parameters. We did it as follows:
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean swap1
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean swap2
swap1: swap.keyName = payload-name
swap1: swap.keyValue = attach
swap2: swap.keyName = payload-name
swap2: swap.keyValue = MainDocument
In the communication channel audit log the swap is processed succesfully, but we don't see nothing changing in the message sequence.
Can somebody please help me with this issue?
Kind regard,
Jeroen Jung

Hi Stefan,
The main thing at this moment is to change the sequence of the payload and attachement. PI puts the attachement first and than the payload and in that sequence the receiver application can't deal with it.
This is a multipart related message and in the header it refers to the image (image/jpeg) first instead of the payload (application/xml).
As you can see in the first message we have used PayloadSwap Adapter module in the receiver SOAP Communication Channel to change this sequence and in the Audit Log of the SOAP CC we can see that it does SWAP functionality succesfully but the result is the same and nothing happens.
Here below you can see the result of a http snapper grabber:
POST /EnterpriseContentManagement/ProxyServices/PS_EnterpriseContentManagement_v1 HTTP/1.0
Accept: */*

*********XML Message************

Do you have an idea how we can switch the sequence of payload and the attachment? Or why the SWAP functionality doesn't have any result?
Kind regards,
Danke

Issue with calling Webservices with a Java Dynpro

Dear SDN,
While calling a 3rd party webservice via a Dynpro, I get an error while calling the WSDL File, as Service call exception; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException:www.xyz123.com
Can any one throw some light on this issue?
Regards,

Hi Anirban,
Seems thats just a connection error....It cannot resolve the host you are calling. Check the adress of the server in the call with the server on which the webservices are deployed.

WebService: Proxy or Soap Adapter?

Hello,
is it possible to use proxies to connect via WebService?
Thanks in advance
Regards Mario

hi,
>>>is it possible to use proxies to connect via WebService?
"ABAP proxies that were generated from message interfaces in the Integration Repository (IR) can be used in both infrastructures. This means that if none of the Integration Server services are required for a proxy-to-proxy communication scenario in ABAP, you can use a point-to-point connection using the Web service infrastructure instead."
from:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/86/58cd3b11571962e10000000a11402f/content.htm
SE80 - web services - you can see your server proxies
so I guess you should be ale to do it but if you just want to use web services you can also generate
a web service form any RFC (WAS 6.40)

Problem with SOAP Adapter receiver not receiving the proper string

Hi friends
I have a very simple scenario as follows using SOAP Syncronous Call
SENDING SCENARIO
================
ExternalClient --> SOAP ADAPTER --> XI -> RFC ADAPTER --> ZBAPI
RECEIVING SCENARIO
==================
ZBAPI --> RFC ADAPTER --> XI --> SOAP ADAPTER --> ExternalClient
Here External Client is sending a search ID and ZBAPI searches for that record and send the FirstName and LastName.
I am using external Definitions in XSD format as follows.
INPUT XSD is
=========================================

=========================================================
I HAVE TESTED THE ZBAPI AND IT WORKS WELL ON ITS OWN. ALSO I HAVE TESTED THAT THE MESSAGE SENT FROM OUTSIDE CLIENT IS REACHING BAPI. HOWEVER WHEN I GOTO 'SXMB_MONI' AND CHECK THE
XML STRING THAT THE RECIEVER IS GETTING, I SEE JUST THE FOLLOWING TWO LINES
===================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:ZBAPI_GET_NAME_RESPONSE xmlns:ns1="urn:socrates.cincom.com" />
======================================
IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
HOPE SOME ONE CAN GUIDE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
RAM

Ram
Can you pls. confirm whether the mapping of your XSD fields & BAPI fields are in same sequence. I mean hierarchy is same or not.
Just to verify, as you said you are using Sync scenario that means you are using ONE Sender Soap & ONE Reciever RFC adapter.

Webservice for proxy to SOAP adapter interface

Hi Experts,
we have scenario Proxy to SOAP for this inteface is it possible to provide the webservice from PI side.
if yes please let me know the steps.
i know the process how to provide the webservice when the SOAP adapter at sender side.
1) through sender agreement---->Display WSDL.
2) Tools---->Disply WSDL
is it poassible to provide the webservice when SOAP adapter at receiver end by using 2 nd process?

No that is not possiable to import WSDl File In receiver agreement because receiver always Provider .
in ESR:
wsdl file ll be imported in External defination as external message.
in ID:
in receiver Comm.channel -> call the soap URL and Soap Action(not manadatary)

SOAP adapter works synchronously with EO !??

Hello,
I configured Sender SOAP Adapter with EO. The SOAP adapter follow the message to a BPM.
All of this process work fine with the HTTP Adapter (that I use for test) but when I use the SOAP Adapter I receive a strange error message :
BPE_ADAPTER.SYNCHONOUS_MESSAGE
The process does not support the given synchronous interface or does not support synchronous messages
Does anybody know how to sovle this ?
Thanks
Regards
Chris

I always have the return code 0. This process work with the HTTP Adapter but not with the SOAP Adapter.
The only thing I change was the adapter in the sender agreement.

Message Level Security with SOAP Adapter

Hi,
I need to use Message Level Security with my SOAP Adapter. Please let me know if anyone has done the same in the past?
What are the steps I would need to do? How can I use WSS based security in the SOAP Adapter?

Hi,
Message-level security is recommended and sometimes a prerequisite for inter-enterprise communication.
It improves communication-level security by adding security features that are particularly important for inter-enterprise
Message-level encryption is required if message content needs to be confidential not only on the communication lines but also in intermediate message stores.
