Communication channel name

hi experts,
can two communication channels in different scenarios have same name? i had configured two different channels with same name in diffent scenarios ? does this work? please help

Hi Srinivas,
I don' think you can create two CC with same names with in the same Business Services. At runtime it will throw an error which one should it pick.
Unless these are in Different Business Services that you specify in Collaboration Agreements.
Try to follow some naming convetions that makes it easier to avoid confustion.

Communication channel name in message mapping ?!

Hi,
I have the problem that I have to know the sender channel name in a message mapping.
The reason is, that I have to set a flag if the message comes via one sender channel.
Of course a solution would be to use differnt Services but I won't do that. Is there any smart solution?
Thank you for your help
Thomas

There are a few weblogs on gettign the filename. Check whether that would suffice for you.
If you really need cc name try the following.
Write a small module function for the adapter.
(Check this note - 819761)
See whether you can get the channel name using the object of type Channel (may be getName() or something similar, I'm not sure about this)
If not,
See whether you can define an additional parameter in the channel and access it in the adapter module and send it to the IE. Then make an additional parameter and set the value as cc name. (Here I'm not sure whether unrecognized additional parameter will affect the adapter functionality)
Maybe you can give a try and let us know!

Dynamic Configuration for two file adapters communication channels

Hello Experts!!!!!!
     In one of the interface in my landscape, I am using two file adapters for creating two files with different names and at two different destination on F.T.P.
However the receiver service for both the communication channel are same.
In message mapping I am using multi mapping to create two files out a single message.
Now i have a requirement of changing file path and file name using dynamic configuration for both the comm channel.
When i doing dynamic coniguration for both the comm. channel. My interface is creating two files but with same name and on same destination which is set for second communication channel through dynamic configuration.
Here, I guess the second dynamic configuration is over writing the first dynamic configuration and hence creating two files with same name and at same destination.
Please suggest, if separate dynamic configuration for separate communication channel of same receiver service can be done?
Thanks & Regards,
Amol

Thanks for your prompt responses!!!!!
    Is there any way, By which in dynamic configuration I can find out the communication channel name and then change its parameter.
I mean if iam using say comm. channel A and B.
Then in dynamic configuration for A, I will first take communication channel A by calling it and then change its path/file name.
and then do samething for comm. channel B in its dynamic conf.

Amol

Communication channel Availability

Hi All,
I am having a File to File scenario wherein there is no mapping involved.You can say as good as using a FTP.I am using XI in this scenario purely because of client requirement.
Problem Statement :
I need to pick up the source file from a particular folder and send it to target folder at a paticular time say 8:00 am daily.
Steps taken:
To take in this requirement, I have configured the Sender communication channel (Type File) availability to 8:00am - 8:15am daily.This was done by going to RWB>CC Monitoring>Control data(Automatic)
   Settings :
   Details Tab:
   1)Description: Just any characters here
   2)Active: Checked
   3)Availability Time - Daily
         At (Time):8.00    For (Duration): 15      Minutes
         Series Start: Start Date        Series End:     End Date
         Availability Times From : -same as above-
   Communication channel Tab:
   Communication Channel:<Sender Communication channel Name>
All above config is saved.
Problem encountered:
Now when I do the above steps, XI does take not only the file from source for 8-8:15 duration but also outside it. So file which comes in source folder after 8:15 am say at 9:00 is also picked up by XI, which ideally should not be the case.
My Query :
Am I going wrong somewhere while configuring the availability of Comm channel?
Regards,
Shiben

Hi Shiben,
Could you please check the Control Data state of Communication channel, it should be Automatically (not Manually)
●      Manual
You control the communication channel by choosing Start or Stop.
●      Automatic
The communication channel is controlled by availability times.
●      External
The communication channel is controlled by an HTTP request.

Communication channel creation - Adapter typr missing

Hi
Im trying to create a communication channel between XI and ECC system and also XI and third part application.
I imported the .TPZ file and Im trying to create a communication channel between XI and ECC.I click on create communication channel under the business system ECC.
But after giving the communication channel name im unable to get any adapter type. There are no adapters here. Where should I configure this?
Thanks
Subbu

Hi,
To see the List of all the Adapter in Adapter list while creating the CC in ID, we have to Import the SAP BASIS 7.00 .TPZ file into IR
Steps
1) Download XI7_0_SAP_BASIS_7.00_10_00.tpz which is available in a zipped format from the SAP Service Market Place.
2) Unzip the contents and copy the file XI7_0_SAP_BASIS_7.00_10_00.tpz (if you are using PI 7.0 or else download the file for your XI version) to
/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/xi/repository_server/import/
3) Goto Repository (Design)
4) Choose -> Tools -> Import Design Objects
Now the adapters should get displayed.
Thanks

IDOC COmmunication Channel

Hi
i have created a receiver idoc communication channel, and when i want to check whetehr its working fine or not in Runtime Work Bench , when giving the receiver communication channel name it is saying " Communication Channel" does not exist??
plz help me

Hi,
As you said you have created the receiver idoc communication channel and if you are monitoring the idocs in IDX5 for the same then the idoc will be outbound and not inbound....
if you are confused with directions then check with out giving the directions in filter criteria....
Also are you sure that the idocs have generated successfully in PI for sending..check the interface message in MONI for the same...
Hope this clears you

Dynamic File name in FTP Communication Channel

Hi All,
We have requirement where ,we create a filenames dynamically ( runtime).These filenames whihc do change for every execution needs to be added in FTP communication channel.
1. How can we add the this generated file name in FTP CC Communication Channel.
2. Does this file needs to part of target structure during graphical mapping ?
3. Can we also dynamically append the Directory name to file names aswell ?
Please provide your valuable sugestions.
Thanks for your support.

1. How can we add the this generated file name in FTP CC Communication Channel.
3. Can we also dynamically append the Directory name to file names aswell ?
to get the FileName:
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
To get the Directory:
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
Then append:
key+key1
And then in the CC select the Directory checkbox under the ASMA properties...
2. Does this file needs to part of target structure during graphical mapping ?
The file which is sent using the CC will have the FileName as configured in the UDF of the graphical mapping....and if i am not wrong then the target structure resembles the file (if there is no FCC done)....

Abhishek.

Variable file name through Receiver mail Communication channel

Dynamic file name in communication channel

hello
is it possible to give in the communication channel, under the 'File Access Parameters', a dynamic file name?
to get it out of a table or something?
Thanks
Kfir

Hi,
Yes its bit possible to use the dynamic file name at File access paramters
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
If you have any clarifications, do get back,

Multiple communication channels for file adapter based on user name

I am using this Idoc-to-File scenario, using FTP for sending the files to file server. Target directory is determined by user id which is unique for a field called ASC. Field ASC is a part of incoming Idoc. There are 40 ASC; that means I have 40 user ids/password. Is there way of creating a file communication channel where user id/password can be supplied dynamically. Or there is an alternative to creating 40 different channels, one for each ASC.
Thanks,
Dehra

Hi,
you need to create 40 channels if you have users
as dynamically you can only create:
File Name
Directory
File Type
File Encoding
Temporary Name Scheme for Target File Name
with FTP adapter

I want to dynamically set the name of attachment in receiver mail Communication Channel.
Example: IN__9907211000004_4048454000005_20081211_01000000002643
The first two numbers 9907211000004 & 4048454000005 I want to read it from the message
20081211 this is the date and
And againg this number 01000000002643 is read from message.
What is the procedure to create Adapter Module? I am new to Adapter Module.
Any Ideas ideas?

byte by[] = xmlpayload.getText().getBytes();

attachmentXML.setContent(by);
//adding the message to the attachment

I have performed all the above given instructions, but the issue is still pending.
Steps followed :
1. Performed all the steps in RZ70 as instructed.
2.Downloaded the TPZ file and assigned it in the required path
3.Adapter Engine is already assigned in the SLD.
Can you let me know, whether to assign hostname, IPaddress or fully qualified domain name in the exchange profile( where exactly in JAVA stack and ABAP stack)
Kindly request you to provide further inputs.

Change the host name of communication channel at runtime

Hi,
I am connecting to an SQL server using a JDBC receiver communication channel.
The vendor who is managing this SQL server says that he has a primary server with the ip <IP1> and a secondary server with ip <IP2>.
He wants me to switch to IP2 when IP1 is down.
Is there any possibility of to achieve this ?
regards,
Piyush

I dont think there is any options available in JDBC adapter to change the host name dynamically...
what u can do is - u create a dummy scenario which will just check whether the database is up or not and store the flag values in PI ABAP stack..
Now before u send data to JDBC u do look up and check which server is up...and based on that u divert ur message to required system.
thats what I can think of now...

If I check in the SXMB_MONI in i'm getting the following message .. but the URL whicjh i provided that is fine.. but my doubt is through XI may be it's not able to connect the Target System... .. so, please suggest me...

By default, the SOAP adapter sends the SOAP message with the content type text/xml.
When you check "Do not use SOAP envelope", the default contnet type is application/xml.
You can change the content type like this: Go to the SOAP receiver communication channel module tab. Add the module "localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean" before the standard module. Add the parameter name Transform.ContentType and value text/xml.
