Channel Started but inactive

hi all -
i have 2 scenarios - idoc to file which works fine without any problem
in the other scenario - file to file i get this message in the communication channel monitoring for the file sender which says "Channel started but inactive".
I checked the integration directory and made sure that its activ and the change list is activated.
I also checked the sxi_cache and the contents are upto date.
any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Tirumal

Hi,
Try to do the CPACache Refresh.
Also adapter metadata Refresh ( Integration Builder->Admin->Cache Overview)
Also restarting Adapter engine may also help here.

"Channel started but inactive" in RWB Monitor for SOAP sender channel

Dear XI specialists,
I have configured a communication scenario involving SOAP Adapter (sender) usage, but I'm facing the issue when testing the scenario. The problem is that none of messages are coming into the SOAP Adapter (checked via TCode SXI_MONITOR in XI) when using 3rd party SOAP-clients (XML Spy, soapUI) based on WSDL-file generated and exported from XI.
I checked the sender communication channel for SOAP Adapter - it is activated in Integration Builder's Directory. SOAP Adapter itself is also started.
I checked Runtime Workbench monitors and in the Communication Channels Monitor of the Components Monitor received the warning saying "Channel started but inactive" for my configured channel as well as for other channels working on SOAP Adapter.
Activities which were performed (in the order in which they were performed and results tested):
1. the configuration channel restart;
2. the communication channel re-activation and further re-start;
3. SOAP Adapter restart;
4. XI system's Java instance restart.
All mentioned activities didn't give any positive effect in part of this issue resolution.
On the other hand, if I use test message functionality of the Runtime Workbench (Component Monitor), then messages are seen in SXI_MONITOR and expected response messages are also returned to XI from integrated business system.
Would you please advise what can be checked else here and where the root of the problem may be detected?
All your answers and feedback will be greatly appreciated and awarded accordingly.
Many thanks in advance and my regards,
Vadim

Dear all,
Thank you for your input! Unfortunately, the problem still exists after testings and checkings which you suggested.
TO Seshagiri:
I checked message monitor and found only several messages for the required sender/receiver services pair in the used namespace - all of them were successfully processed (these are messages which I sent by means of RWB Component Monitor's test message functionality).
TO Sarvesh:
Yes, sender agreement is configured properly. I configured it when configuring communication scenario in the Configuration Wizard and then manually re-checked its definition. Moreover, when performing Test Configuration in ID, I received positive results.
TO Nallam Guna:
I cleared Data Cache in Integration Builder, but this didn't help.
TO Gujjeti:
I'm on SAP NetWeaver 2004s PI 7.0. Service Pack level for PI is 13.
TO Durga:
Thank you for provided links! I have already had a look at them - but proposed solutions doesn't seem to be working in my situation.
Thank you all once again for your prompt answers! I really appreciate your attempts in helping me!
I would appreciate if you could share any further ideas on this issue.
My best regards,
Vadim

SOAP - channel started but inactive

Hi experts..
while testing Scenario using SOAP adapter. in RWB -
> adpapter monitaring . here all the adapters in gery status , when i check in communicational chanel monitaring iam seeing error "channel started but inactive "
but i cheked all adapeters in IR ID and refreshed the cashes, and tested the proxy also evrthing is ok.
even i run the scenarion why the adpter status is not changed from yello to green?
i chek the notes 809420, 764176 but i didnt understand what is causing this issue?
note : previously all the scenarios are implemeted in SP6 , now iam working on SP16 , iam wondering in my current system all the adapters in grey color even othe scenarios excuted sucessfully also.
please suggest me ?
thanks

SOAP Adapter: Channel started but inactive

Our system is XI 3.0 running on Solaris 10 zoning and Oracle 9i. All on Support Package 17.
When consulting the status of the adapter in the RWB environment we are receiving the message above "Channel started but inactive".
How can We solve this problem?

hi,
SOAP adater will be green when you process the first message via this adapter

SOAP adapter - Channel started but inactive (case inside)

Good day everyone!
I have integration scenario IDOC->XI->SOAP. I did all setting and created SOAP adapter with 2 parametrs: "Target URL" and "SOAP Action".
But when I look at Channel Monitoring I see my SOAP-channel with status "Channel started but inactive" ??
What could it be?
Thanks in advance!

hi,
this issue is too common. i face it i some of my channels. there no error.
test your scenario. im sure it will work but the adapter still has been in yellow at least it fails and turn red.
I have some CC in red status and working fine. later few minutes it turn green.
don worry about it. if you leave it working it will turn green later. if u restart the java stack you can solve it but i dont recommend it because this error could appear in other adaprter too.
commonly it appear when you start and stop the channel from RWB.
Hope Helps
thanks
Rodrigo.

Yellow LED: Channel started but inactive from CC monitoring

Hi
We are trying SOAP to SOAP scenario, we done with all IR and ID part deployment and Activated the all the Objects ,
But still In CC monitoring both channels showing Yellow LED: Channel started but inactive
In omponent Monitoring Adapter Engine also showing Yellow LED
We tried with SXI_CACHE and CAP cache refresh also...
Help me out to solving this issue..
Thanks
Vadde

Hi Vishwanadh,
We have faced the same issue for the past two days and the sam has got resolved automatically while testing the scenario. So please go ahead with your testing, the channel will then be activated automatically.
Before that clear the CPAcache with the user PIISUSER (make sure that the user is having access to SAP_XI_Administrator_J2EE and SAP_XI_Configuratoe_J2EE

SOAP Adapter status stay "Channel started but inactive"

Hi, Folks:
We have a couple of SOAP adapters that I have not used for a while, so I put them in inactive status.
Now we need to switch SOAP Scenario, I activate them, however, in Communication Monitoring Page, The status is Yellow Triangle: "Channel started but inactive"
I have tried to inactivate and reactivate them for a couple of times, it does not help.
Any ideas are welcomed !
Liang

Hi Guys
As suggested by you guys, after I sent first message, all the SOAP adapter get active now. I believe I fogort how I setup it up initially. That is the value stay with your guy
Thanks everyone !

"Channel started but Inactive" - Issue with JDBC channels

Hi all,
I have 5 channels configured with Oracle which were functioning till yesterday night properly. All of a sudden 3 out of them have decided not to co-operate and they show a status in RWB as "Channel started but Inactive".
The rest two are functioning correctly which is more weird.
I did the following:
1. Complete cache refresh.
2. Delta cache refresh
3. channel was copied with a new name and used and it works but this doesnt make any sense.There has to be a proper way to deal with this situation.
4. All channels are activated in ID.
Has anybody faced similar issues with JDBC or any other type channels?
Regards,
Amol Joshi

Hi Amol,
Usually the channel information is available in the monitor after the service and the channel are activated successfully.
However, in the case of the SOAP adapter, the
adapter status is not available until the first request is sent to the adapter.
For JDBC Adapter try to:
1. Re-configure JDBC parameters, it might happened that it is not able to establish a database connection.
Just re-enter and activate the same.
2.goto to the IR adn ID and run the cache ,you will get the cache objects list in red color check the error details there, make sure the AE cache is up and running fine.
goto to the RWB>cache monitoring or status->check the cache status of the AE and IS, it should be green in color,
run the CPA cache from the URL with the PIDIRUSER ...then again run the cache from IR and ID and check.
Also check :
1.if you have right permission to write the data to the table
2. Check whether that table takes NULL values, if so check what data is being supplied by XI to the receiver end.
*Pls: Reward points if helpful*

RWB issue Channel started but inactive

Hi,
In RWB the SOAP adapter is showing status message as"Channel started but inactive" but all the SOAP adapters are active in Directory.
This is happening only in new environment Pre-Production.
Valueable inputs will be appreciated.
Thanks
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
SOAP adapter shows "Channel started but inactive" message when there are no messages processed till now(after activating any changes to comm channel or server is restarted). Once a message is triggered in SOAP adapter, this will go away. Try to trigger a message and see.

What happens if Channel started but inactive?

Hi.
While monitoring the training server, i found there are 100 channels with yellow color status "Channel started but inactive".
All these channels are not SOAP or MAIL channels. Most are FILE, JDBC, JMS channels.
I know that we can stop the channels in RWB but what happens if these channels are kept with that yellow status? If i stop these channels will it improve the performance??
Kindly let me know how it will effect the performance.
Thanks... !
Warm regards,
Praveen.

Hi,
While monitoring the training server, i found there are 100 channels with yellow color status "Channel started but inactive". - It means there was no msg for these channels so they are inactive......when there will be msgs for these channels, then those msgs will be processed by these channels and its status will change to running........
I know that we can stop the channels in RWB but what happens if these channels are kept with that yellow status? - No performance impact because of this inactive channels :).............
If i stop these channels will it improve the performance?? - Do not stop these channels but keep them started..........

SOAP Sender - RWB "Channel started but inactive"

I have a sender soap channel configured. In Integration Directory the Adapter Status is active. However when I go to Runtime Workbench and view the channel it says the "Channel is started but inactive". Can someone explain to me why it is not active in Runtime Workbench?
Also, SOAP messages sent to this channel are failing obviously because the channel is inactive. How can I make this channel active so that XI can receive SOAP requests.

hi rodel,
You have to process one message at least to make SOAP adapter Active
refer this discussion
how can i enable SOAP Adapter?

ON RWB - CC Monitoring - SOAP Channel. status says "inactive or unregister

Hi,
I am working on SOAP Webservices.
My Scenario is working fine ... But Some How on RWB - CC Monitoring - SOAP Channel. status says "inactive or unregistered".
On the otherside , my SOAP Scenario is working fine...
But why for that status " "inactive or unregistered"." , I dont Know?
Please Suggest, How to Deal with this ........?
I executed transaction code " se38 - > SRT_ADMIN_CHECK report "
It states me almost every thing unregistered/ inactive/ not configured except ICM Services ..
are these services shoud active and registered for SOAP Scenario?
how to activate them .............????????
That CC status " "inactive or unregistered" has anything to do with this SRT_ADMIN_CHECK report????
Regards
Prabhat Sharma.

Hi
This is the problem which i recently faced and solved.
Cause: Saop related J2EE application are stoped or not set to default start as initial state.This is also a reason
             for 503 service unavailable error while soap posting.
Solution : start the J2EE app , com.sap.aii.adapter.soap.app & com.sap.aii.adapter.soap.lib set them as defualt started
               as initial state.
Where : If you are in PI 7.1 , http:<host>:<port>/nwa->Operations Management -> Systems -> Start & Stop -> Java EE
               Applications.
                Refer http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/start_stop_applications for more help.
               Also in Start button , there will be a dropdown where you can set the default initial state as started.Simply starting may
               cause similar problem ( not registered ????????) again ,so better to set initial as started state.

JDBC sender channel running but not picking up the data from sp

Hi,
One of the jdbc sender channels in production is running at its schedule time but it is not picking up the data from the sql side, we have checked with the sp side and they are saying that sp is running fine. No changes have been done in its configuration. Last message coming in RWB is Retry interval started but that is of 1 day and its already been 3 days. I tried by starting and stopping the channel but of no use. The channel was re activated but that also didn't help.
Please help, what can be the reason for the same.
thanks.

Hi,
The JDBCadapter ( The respective channel) is definitely locked in PI . Ideally for each polling interval a lock is being created and once the processing is over , the lock should be released/deleted automatically to allow further polling interval. If the lock is not released by the system automatically,further polling will not happen as expected. ( This may affect all sender JDBC adapters as well. I would recommend to do a check in all sender JDBC communication channels)
You can see/delete the locks in Visual admin.
Go to Server>Services->Locking adapter and click refresh
The entries for JDBC adapter ( with name $XIDBAD.JDBC2XI) should be deleted by selecting those particilar entries and click delete selected locks.
If you have more than one node, then same should be done in all server nodes.
The temprory solution would be creating/copy the existing channel in ID with same properties and assign it into particular sender agreement.
But, the lock may be created again which potentailly stops all your database interfaces. Hence i would suggest to use Disconnect From Database After processing of Each messages in Advanced tab in the sender JDBC adapter.
Hope this solves your issue.
PS: The same bahaviour would expected for all file adapter as well

Reading the mode channel start and no. of bits using the CAN channel API

Currently I am using the CAN channel API to get information from a CANdb file. I'm using it to get max, min, scaling information, etc. However, I can not use it to get the start bit and the number of bits in the channel mode when using mode-dependant channels. Is there an easier method to retrieve this information using one of the CAN API's instead of manually parsing the file myself for the information?

I think that there has been some misunderstanding with regard to the
original question. I believe Dillon is trying to find the start bit and
number of bits in the multiplexer. The terminology of multiplexer and
mode gets a little confusing. For clarification, my understanding is
that a mode is a specific value of a multiplexer. In the case of Dirk's
example code, he was able to retrieve the number
of bits of the CHANNEL, but not the number of bits of the MULTIPLEXER.
I believe that I have run into a similar problem to
Dillon's. I want to read a NI CAN Database (*.ncd) or a Vector CAN
Database (*.dbc) programmitically. I have attached a zip containing a
VI and some *.ncd file to allow others to see my progress thus far.
This is a heavily modified version of Dirk's previously posted program.
As you can see, it is easy to get a list of messages using the "CAN Get
Names" VI. Using that list of messages, it is also easy to get a list
of channels by reusing the "CAN Get Names" VI. The list of channels
does not include any information as to whether or not they belong to a
multiplexer, but fortunately we can use the "CAN Get Property" VI to
find out which channels are mode dependent and the value of the mode
that the channel corresponds to (if it is mode dependent).
Unfortunately, this does not give us any information as to the location
or length of the multiplexer which contains the mode. Thus, I know
whether I should be looking for a multiplexer and I know what value to
watch for in the multiplexer, but I have no idea where or how to look
for that value in the CAN message.
Interestingly, by
playing around with Dirk's database that he had attached, I was able to
determine that the list of channels does not always give out the same
information. Typically, you will simply receive an 1D array strings
containing only the channel names, but the output is different in the
event that you have a database that meets the following criteria:
    1. Two channels (in different modes) have the same name
    2. The database contains at least two multiplexers
In
this case the output will be a 1D array of strings in which the
repeated channels (regardless of whether they are in the same
multiplexer) will be output in the format "<message
name>.<multiplexer NAME>.<mode value>.<channel
name>". The channels that have unique names are simply output as the
channel name. Now this is helpful in that by default the multiplexer
name contains the start bit of the multiplexer, but this cannot be
relied upon. The creator of the database could easily change the name
of the multiplexer and the format is only adhered to when the
previously mentioned criteria are met. Also it still does not tell us
anything about the number of bits expected in the multiplexer (remember
Dirk had found the number of bits expected for the CHANNEL).
I have found another alternative output format when the following criteria are met:
1. Two channels (in different modes) have the same name
    2. Only one multiplexer is contained within the file
In
this case the output will be a 1D array of strings in which the
repeated channels will be output in the format "<message
name>.<mode value>.<channel
name>". Again, this special format is only used for the repeated
channels. Uniquely named channels are simply output as channel names. While this is not particularly useful, but I thought I should mention it.
It
is also probably worth noting that I found the previously mentioned
alternative formats by directly reading reading a *.ncd file. It
appears that by reading the channels directly from MAX we get at least
one additional format (<message name.channel name> ). Considering
that this is actually even less information and since my application
specifically requires that I directly read a CAN database without the
assistance of MAX, I have not significantly explored this avenue.
Let
me finish by reiterating the question that I am asking: How do you
programmitically determine the start bit and number of bits of the
multiplexers in a CAN database (*.ncd or *.dbc). I have attached a zip
file containg my current "testing" VI and some databases to illustrate
the results that I have described above.

CAN_Write with channel start/No.of bits available ?

Hello everyone,
                        I am trying to write CAN_messages with channel start bit and the number of bits available. The Write VI that i am using needs a cluster format of the message as its input.
              A typical message format is something like the picture that i attached.I need to wite to a specific signal with only channel start bit and no.of bits that the signal is made of.
for eg.. I want to write Message1.signal4 and channel start bit = 1 and channel number of bits = 1.this means i need to write a single bit in 1st row,1st column.
            If i wanna write Message2.signal 6 with channel startbit=40 and no.of bits=8..i need to write a complete byte to 5th row....
I am not sure how do i go by this...should i use a matrix,an array ? since i need access to individual bits in the message matrix,should i try converting data into binary units and then writing it into individual bits(which i have been trying,but is very complicated)?
I'm sure this is so confusing,but please let me know..if anything is unclear...
Thanks
