Change decentral to local adapter engine

How can I change the adapter engine from decentral to local?
Thanks
Mikie

In any communication channel, u ll find an option called "Adapter Engine".
There u ll see options like Integration Server, Ur decentral adapter engine name

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.

Decentral Adapter engine or Local adapter engine requires separate databse?

I'm installing De-central/Local adapter engine in my landscape. Does it requires a separate databse??
My OS is AIX and Database is Oracle. Can someone give me the installation document for Decentral adapter engine.
Thanks
Sagar

Thanks for the information.
I've one more question, in de-central adapter engine post installation configuration.
document says I need goto visual admin and do some settings, do I need start Visual admin in XI ?
or De-central adapter engine will have its own Visual administrator and there only we need to do this post installation steps??

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.
Regards,
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!!

J2SE Local Adapter Engine

Hi,
We are using the local adapter engine to send and receive files from a FTP server. However, the outbound/receiver adapter is throwing this ugly Java/FTP exception:
Feb 28, 2006 1:02:58 PM ...sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ftp.FTPCtrl [Thread-20] Info: ftp server returns reply '220 Service ready'
Feb 28, 2006 1:02:58 PM ...sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ftp.FTPCtrl [Thread-20] Info: ftp server returns reply '230 User logged in'
Feb 28, 2006 1:02:58 PM ...i.messaging.adapter.XMB2FileProcessor [Thread-20] Error: java.lang.Exception: ftp client test failed with 'com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ftp.FTPEx: User logged in'
As you can see the FTP server returns a nice 220 (Service ready for new user.) and 230 (User logged in, proceed.) response.
So how come the adapter throws an exception like this here? Can someone try to explain?
Tnx,
Roberto

Hi,
Actually, your message is truncated so i can't view the complete message,
But i may suggest,
1. In the FTP server did you mention the read,write,append authorization to the userid you are refering in the sender file adapter? Typically i use guildftp as a ftp server and that has options for all these authorization.
2. Do you have any firewall or proxy installed locally,
3. Can you write the sender adapter settings and paste the error again as its truncated from the right side.

Anirban.

Why my Local Adapter Engine not showed in SLD and Integration Directory?

Hi guru,
I have installed one Local Adatper Engine on Host B, then an XI is installed on Host A, but After I installed the local adapter engine and follow the standard configration step mentioned in this document:https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/307deae3-604e-2a10-feae-f016fb9cadd4.
After the configuration is done, I restart the local adatper engine, but this local adapter engine is not showed in integration directory.
what is the problem?

The post-installation configuration steps are not complex, I exactly followed.
what other reason could it be? have any guru configured local adapter engine before?

Configuring a local adapter engine?

Hi,
I want to configure a local adapter engine and use it in my scenarios. Can anyone tell me how to go about it i.e. where can i find the installables for it, which files to download,service pack,etc. The XI server which i want to connect to has WAS 7.0 and ECC 6.00

Hi Pragati,
The local adapter engine is installed on any system that will run on WAS and while creating the Adapter in the Integration Directory select the adapter engine from your central or local adapter engine.

System requirement for Local adapter engine installation

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement here where we are planning to install local plain J2SE adapter engine on various third party systems to pass the data from those systems to the PI system through http. Please can you let me know what are the requirements on the system to install local plain J2SE adapter on it in terms of memory, disc space, etc.
thanks.

Hmm. 100 MB disk space is required for the J2SE adapter engine installation.
Memory depends on your scenario requirement. But in general a 1 GB RAM is sufficient.

Local Adapter Engine

Hi All,
Here we installed Local AE on both Sender and Receiver Systems but stuckup with configuring these Adapters.
Step1:How to configure the SLD part if am working with Local AE's?
Step2:How can XI recognize these Local AE's?
Step3:In the Communication channels while defining the File Adapters,At the Adapter Engines option i have to choose Local AE instead of Integration Server.To get(display) this option (Local adapters) what all the connections are configurations need to be done at XI and Sender/Receiver?
Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Kalyan.

HI Kalyan,
The Plain J2SE Adapter Engine is one of the PI messaging components responsible for message processing and protocol handling. This type of adapter engine was already available with XI 2.0 and merely requires a Java Virtual Machine to run. It can be used as a non-central adapter engine, but it hosts only a subset of the adapter functions and does not support standard security features such as security logs or integrated user management
The Plain J2SE Adapter Engine does not access the exchange profile, because the connection data is kept locally. It does, however, register itself in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

Decentralized/Standalone XI Adapter Engine in same SID as Central AE

For reasons of splitting functionality, we want to setup separate XI adapter engines (AE) so that we can "pin" certain communication channels to specific AE.
On top of the "Central" AE (installed in /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS39), I have now installed a second ABAP/J2EE dialog instance (in /usr/sap/<SID>/D89).
All the Java components and services are visibile in VisualAdmin.
D89 shows up in SLD, and the J2EE SLD Data Supplier in D89 works.
However, there seems to be no "separation" of the 2 instances of the AE:
In RWB, component monitoring, there are no entries under "Non Central Adapter Engine" (although it is visible as a second node in Adapter Monitoring/MDT)
In IB/DIRECTORY, only the "Integration Server" is visible as an "Adapter Engine" in the communication channels
In the SLD, the class "HTTP Service Port: Basic URLs of Adapter Engine on <hostname>" only shows 1 URL (pointing to D89 and not to the "central" DVEBMGS39l).
To me it seems the 2 J2EE instances (within the same SID) behave as 1 (just like if we added another server1 to the same J2EE instance).
I think the main problem is within the data of the SLD. Does the separate "Adapter Engine" need to be registred manually (for example by creating an additionale instance of the CIM class "SAP_XIAdapterFramework" ?
System has been restarted many times.
Has anybody setup a separate adapter engine this way ?
Thanks for your help
Kind regards,
Jan Van Achte

Dear Jan
did you find a solution for your problem ? i got the same problem and did still not find a solution in sapnet.

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.

Guide for J2EE Adapter Engine on WAS 6.40 with XI 3.0

Hi all,
we are currently struggling with our AE. We are going to migrate from Xi 2.0 to XI 3.0, we run into problems while configuring our old J2SE AE (for which I have found a good PDF document on the SAP Service Marketplace).
Now we would like to test/configure the J2EE AE on XI 3.0.
But I cant find any guide for this on the SAP Service Marketplace. Does anyone know where to find this?
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

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
