Comm channel direction...

Hi,
One simple basic question..... I am using PI 7.1
Landcape ECC --> PI --> third party
If in PI Integration builder, I see a communication channel that says as follows, what does that indicate , is it reading the file from ECC appl server or is it putting the file in the server ?? what does sender and receiver mean ?
Comm channel name : xyz
comm component : third party name
adpter type: File
Sender radio button selected
Transport protocol : FTP
Message protocol: File content conversion
Adapter Engine: Central adapter engine
Source tab:
Dource directoy :/usr/sap/ecc/comm/sd/out/work/myfolder
filename: test*.xml
FTP connection paremeters set with server and port numbers and user login details given
content conversion tab:
doc name, doc namespace set and record structure set as Record, 1

Landcape ECC --> PI --> third party
comm component : third party name
Dource directoy :/usr/sap/ecc/comm/sd/out/work/myfolder
First two details seem to contradict with Source Directory path!

Adapter engine field blank in File Comm channel (Sender)

Hi,
I am not getting any value in drop-down list of adapter engine in file adapter communication channel.System is allowing me to save the comm channel but when I am trying to create sender agreement, system is giving me following error
Unable to find an associated SLD element (source element: SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, [CreationClassName, SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, string, Name, directory.s01., string], target element type: SAP_XIIntegrationServer)
I m getting values of adapter engine when I select some other adpter like IDOC or RFC.
Please help...

Hi,
1) Can you check your Post Installation.
2) Look for SAP NOTES.
3) Try cache refresh
a)Start transaction SXI_CACHE.
b)From the context menu XI Runtime Cache select Start Complete Cache Refresh.
If you still face issue try this .
Many actions require to access System Landscape Directory content from the Integration Builder. To optimize performance, this content is loaded into a cache so that the System Landscape Directory does not have to be accessed directly each time that System Landscape Directory content is required.
However, this cache is not automatically updated if changes are made to the content of the System Landscape Directory. For this reason that we delete the System Landscape Directory cache if changes have been made to content in the System Landscape Directory. The cache is then filled each time that the System Landscape Directory is accessed. If we log on to the Integration Builder after we have made a change in the SLD, we do not need to delete the SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.

Comm channel missing in comm channel monitoring

Hi,
I have created sender and receiver communication channels of adapter type XI. I am using PI 7.0 version. But I don't see these communication channels in RWB comm channel monitoring.
I was going through the help.sap.com and in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/5c/22ee41c334c717e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
In this it is mentioned clearly as "The XI adapter as part of the Adapter Engine gets the required....."
if this is part of the adapter engine then it should show the communication channels registered for it.
Moreover if SAP doesn't want to display these XI adapter com channels then why they have XI adapter type in the drop down box to filter the data.
Please provide your guidance in this regard.
thanku

Hi Bhargvi,
XI adapter is in-built in the integration engine............in RWB in comm channel monitoring, you can view all the comm channels which are at adapter engine...................so this is why you cannot see your XI, IDOC or HTTP adpater in comm channel monitoring because these adapters reside in integration engine directly..................but to tell integration engine regarding the target system you have to configue thier comm channels in ID.

Problem in File Receiver comm channel

Hi,
I can't see anything in the Recevier communication channel in the RWB > Component Monitoring>Comm. channel monitoring-->Comm. channels.
I do have selected my comm channel.Its showing the message as "Comm. channel is configured correctly and started". But I cant see msgID and Explanation or error. Even, I cant fine any info in Error log.
The diagnosis i did as follows. Let me know if u come across any thing.
Checked the logs in VA but i didnt found any information and is not upto date. Bad luck
*Recreated the Rcvr comm channel again and teste. Nohope.
In the MONI its showing successfull, but i cant see output at destination.
*cache is uptodate
I have checked the queues, nothing got stuck.All queues are clear.
*I cant restart the Server since it is in production.
Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Sync/Async - JMS receiver comm. channel not processing

I have a Sync/Async scenario (without bpm) in PI 7.11:
RFC -> PI -> JMS
whereby the JMS receiver comm. channel does not fully process the message.
More specifically, the RFC sender comm. channel gets a message in and passes the message to the JMS channel, but that JMS channel within the RWB comm. channel log only shows the entry:
- Message processing started
The odd twist to this is that when we bring the PI server down, then back up again, (or wait a period of time, still trying to determine this period) the FIRST message attempt does successfully get processed, i.e. the first message on that JMS receiver comm. channel RWB log shows as:
- Channel successfully processed the message: 08499236-387c-11e0-b002-000025bab2c2
- Stored the correlation ID 08499236-387c-11e0-b002-000025bab2c2 of the request JMS message: ID:c3e2d840d4d8d4f24040404040404040c754dc12d8b54ec6 correponding to the XI message: 08499236-387c-11e0-b002-000025bab2c2
- Message processing started
(but then because of an issue on the target system, no response comes back, so then we'll additionally get the log entry:
- Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: no message received
Any suggestions appreciated on what I can check here to try and figure this out. Possibly because the first message eventually errors out, it is stopping the other subsequent msgs from getting processed...
When I check the audit logs of a 'success' msg vs. a not-successful msg, the success msg has an entry (and subsequent entries) of:
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information Transform: transforming the payload ...
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information Transform: successfully transformed
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information ROB: entering RequestOnewayBean
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information ROB: forwarding the request message
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information ROB: leaving RequestOnewayBean
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information JMS Message was forwarded to the JMS provider succesfully."
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information XMB Message as Binary was forwarded to the SAP XI JMS service succesfully.
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information WRB: entering WaitResponseBean
14.02.2011 12:50:19 Information WRB: retrieving the message for 08499236-387c-11e0-b002-000025bab2c2 ...
wheras the non-success msg shows only:
14.02.2011 12:55:30 Information Transform: transforming the payload ...
14.02.2011 12:55:30 Information Transform: successfully transformed
14.02.2011 12:55:30 Information ROB: entering RequestOnewayBean
14.02.2011 12:55:30 Information ROB: forwarding the request message
14.02.2011 12:55:30 Information ROB: leaving RequestOnewayBean
So, we can see that the message is not "forwarded to the JMS provider..." in the non-success case.
And also the sxi_monitor shows these messages with a status of "Log version".

Hi Siddhesh - yes that was a while back and am trying to remember the resolution. I have implemented sync/async bridges (as well as async/sync bridges) successfully, so I don't mind checking your settings, particularly I am interested in the settings within the Module tab of the JMS receiver. I can then compare to mine if you'd like. Also if you can let me know what underlying queuing system in that target system (e.g. MQSeries?) that would be great.

Keith

Comm Channel Variable Substitution - Use of wildcards to reference payload

Hi!
I am building a solution to write out tagged / XML IDOCs to a file adapter. I am using variable substitution to build the file name to include the message type, sending partner etc... in the target directory and filename.
Is there a way to wildcard nodes in the variable substitution? For example:
Currently
payload:WMMBID01,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1
Desired
payload:*,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1
where * is any wildcard.
Reason is that we have multiple IDOC types and I want to avoid having to create multiple communication channels.
Help appreciate and rewarded. Many thanks, Duncan.

Hi Duncan !
You can create the desired target filename and target directory by using dynamic configuration via java UDF in mapping. This allows you to create a target filename and/or directory based on a string..then you could use only one comm channel.
to access info:
// access dynamic configuration
 DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(
 StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey KEY_FILENAME = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
 // read value
 String Filename = conf.get(KEY_FILENAME);
// to write value:
conf.put(KEY_FILENAME, "MyNewFileName");

Matias

Comm Channel - "requested resource does not exist"

Good day,
Can someone help me with this error I get. We have a file to file scenario and everything works fine but the file never gets created on the receiver side, all messages says successful but in the comm channel monitor for the receiver adapter I get "Message processing completed successfully" but if I click on the message ID it say's " The requested resource does not exist." [Screen Print|http://www.photostand.co.za/images/t6432okl1tu6wzubwymj.gif]
Thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan,
Are you able to process messages from other interfaces? If not then there is an issue with the post installation. Please Check the SAP Note: 817920
If you are not able to process messages only for this interface then there might be a configuration issue..
Follow the link provided by the other SDNer. Please check and let us know the results.

File adapter in comm.channel green, but no message collecting

Hello,
looks like this is something really at the roots.
Ok, we are in NW2004s PI 7.0.
One IDOC process is successfully implemented.
Now we started with a file to file communication!
File sender adapter is configured and shown in status green in comm.channel monitoring which would bring me to the idea that the comm.channel is configured well (To be sure we changed the directory path in the comm.channel to a wrong one which results in an error. Ok, corrected. Now all lamps are green). Comm channel is activated and polling.
But... nothing happens. The Adapter is not collecting the file in the source directory (existing) and there is no entry in monitoring on RWB or SXMB_MONI.
In Adapter monitoring all adapters except the JPR (red) are with a GREY lamp!
As we had an issue with activating the adapters (adapter monitoring before did not show any adapter (except JPR) ) two days ago we are not sure if the current issue belongs to a mistake in the configuration or in basis environment.
From XI 3.0 side we would expect that the adapter monitoring should show adapters used in green.
Do you have experience with such a behaviour?
Any help is welcome!
regards
Dirk

Hi Bhavesh,
we are near to bumping our heads against the server.
In comm.channel:
directory is : / (as simple as possible)
file name is : *.001
The file in the directory is named it_test.001 so it should be catched.
What can we do wrong?
By the way: If we change the directory to /out which is existing we have an (file is in this directory too) error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /out: The system cannot find the file specified. '.
Cache is fine!
regards
Dirk

It does not mean that XI will be able to access the FTP server.
You have to grant access for Adapter Engine user which is used for FTP communication.

Erro in JMS receiver Comm Channel

Hi,
I am working on a scenario File(Sender) JMS (Receiver).The input is a text file The file sender polls this input file and the file sender CC does the content conversion and puts the XML message into the JMS Queue. But in the receiver JMS comm channel i get the error saying
Error sending message in sending to destination ABCF, the message message: TextMessage[null, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="...]: weblogic.jms.common.JMSException: Error sending mess
Please help me on this

Hi,
Please have a look at your message in SXMB_MONI and see if the payload is correct.
Also have a look at the MDT (http://<server>:<port>/MDT) and see what errors occur for your message.

PI 7.3 receiver AAE idoc scenario-No receiver comm channel found in ICO

Hi,
I am working in PI 7.3 receiver AAE idoc scenario.When I try to configure Integrated Configuration(ICO),I am not able to see the receiver comm channel in receiver agreement.
What is the reason for this??I have configured the communication channel,but still its not shown in reciver agreement dropdown.
Please help.
Regards,
Sriparna

Hi Sriparna,
In PI 7.3 there is are two separate IDoc adapters: "standard" IDoc adapter and one that is dedicated for AAE (ICO). Make sure that you have used the right one - most probably not, which is why you cannot see the channel in the dropdown list.
Hope this helps,

Using URL Parameters with HTTP Comms Channel

Hi,
I need to build a new interface (HTTP - RFC) which will use several URL parameters. I've created a HTTP communications channel and Sender Service and this works. I'm able to define several URL Parameters by checking 'Adapter-Sepcific Message Attributes' and then 'Apply URL Parameters' then specifying the individual parameters.
This is straight forward so far but in usual SAP fashion the documentation on HTTP Comms Channels and URL Parameters is non existent. My question is how do I use these parameters once they are passed. I need to use the values as input parameters for the RFC which means I'll need to map these in the Integration Repository I can't find anything on SDN or SAP help that answers the question.
I know I could include these values in the XML payload but that would mean my 'customer' would need to amend their application and I'd rather keep things as they are.
Looking forward to your replies.
Thanks in advance.

May be this could help you to refference . .
For each process template, you can define interactive or composite form reference objects that can optionally be executed at runtime.
To be able to see and execute the reference object at runtime, you must add an appropriate runtime view.
Prerequisites
You can only attach standalone interactive forms to a process. For more information, see Interactive Form Types.
Activities
To attach an interactive form to a process:
       1.      Open the gallery and select a process template. To open its design time, choose Open
       2.      To switch to edit mode, choose (Edit).
       3.      Open the Forms tab page.
       4.      Choose Add and select the type of reference object you want to add. You can choose between Callable Object and Development Object.
Browse and select the reference object, and choose Add once again.
       5.      Repeat step 4 to add more objects.
       6.      To define parameter mapping, select an entry and choose Map Parameters. Select a parameter from the left-hand table, and then select the parameter you want to map from the right-hand table. This groups the input parameters of the form reference object to the relevant input parameters of the process.
If the process does not define input parameters, you can set default values.
       7.      When you have defined the required mappings, choose Done.
       8.      Whenever a newer version of the form reference object is available, its status on the Forms tab page changes to (Deprecated). To update the object, select it from the list and choose Update. The status changes to (Active).
Parameter mapping is preserved unless the parameters of the new object version are different. In this case, you need to define mappings again.
       9.      Finally, choose (Save).
