Communication channel parameters for XI receiver adapter

Hi
I am implementing a ABAP server proxy - to do this, I am creating a XI adapter type - Receiver communication channel so that messages from XI go to ---> the R3 system wherein the proxy is implemented.
I have seen a weblog with a sample defn of communication channel of this adapter type , but the illustration there is not clear enough.
Based on documentation for this in help.sap.com, I have the following questions :
1. Do we have to setup a HTTP type destination in the XI box pointing to the R3 system ( on which ABAP proxy is implemented ) . I guess this is the case, since XI needs to find the connection to the R3 box to pass the proxy message to it .
2. If we do have to setup a HTTP type destination in XI pointing to R3, what is the path prefix and service number field values that need to be given...
I tried putting in /sap/xi/engine as path prefix and 8000 as service with the logon credentials for the R3 system and I get a status code error of 500 ( Pipeline specified in URL attribute not existing ) when I test the SM59 connection in XI...
Any pointers on what am I missing here ??

Hi Karthik,
>>1. Do we have to setup a HTTP type destination in the XI box pointing to the R3 system ( on which ABAP proxy is implemented ) . I guess this is the case, since XI needs to find the connection to the R3 box to pass the proxy message to it .
Based on 'addressing type' field in XI adapter you can either specify HTTP destination in communication channel or provide all the required details in the communication channel itself.
>>2. If we do have to setup a HTTP type destination in XI pointing to R3, what is the path prefix and service number field values that need to be given...
I tried putting in /sap/xi/engine as path prefix and 8000 as service with the logon credentials for the R3 system and I get a status code error of 500 ( Pipeline specified in URL attribute not existing ) when I test the SM59 connection in XI...
use the URL /sap/xi/engine?type=receiver
Also make sure that your R/3 is set up as a local integration engine for proxy communication..
Check this..

Custom Adapter - No content in Communication channel Monitoring for JCA

HI,
     We have developed a Custom Adapter for our client in XI with name JCA and it is working absolutely fine.
     Issue: We are not getting any entries in Communication Channel Monitoring for success or Error Messages.
     We have used Audit log for success or Failure entries and they are coming fine in Messaging System but there coule be a standard way to get entries in Channel Monitoring.
    Our client needs the entries in CC monitoring instead of Customised Audit Logs.
    Please help.
REgards,
Anurag Garg

HI Satish,
                 Thanks for answer. I am looking for this in Custom Adpater not in adapter module.
                 This log creates a trace File . Its not to do with getting messages in CC monitoring as we do get for File Adapter or other Adapters.
               Like- Message Successfully put into the queue.
                     - Successfully processed.
                 Such Messages are there in sample_ra. jar file code but they are not visible in CC Monitoring.
               I think some extra code needs to be added to activate this in Monitoring.
               Please suggest.

Role for Changing communication Channel parameters

Hello All,
I'm looking for a role that gives access to Changing communication Channel parameters in Integration Directory. I know that SAP_XI_ CONFIG_J2ee gives this access but is there a way to assign any security role or any component so that it gives access to just Changing communication Channel parameters in Integration Directory instead of giving access to the whole IB:Configuration.
Thanks in Advance

Hi
dont have idea but maybe u can get idea about assigning role from these,
see if it helps

FTP/SSL Connection Problem for FTP Receiver Adapter

Hello All,
We are trying to establish an FTPS/SSL connection with one of our customers from our XI(Unix) system, and are receive following error:
iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Server certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
Communication Channel Parameters:
Connection Security: FTP (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection or FTP (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection and Data Connection
Command Order: AUTH TLS, USER, PASS, PBSZ, PROT
Checkbox - Use X.509 Certificate.... checked (Certificate was provided by third party (customer issued) and uploaded to service_ssl certificate store on J2EE server)
Data Connection: Passive
Port: 10021
Keystore: service_ssl
X.509 Certificate & Private Key: ssl-credentials
Note: Initial handshaking occurs but connection is being dropped by the third party FTP Server when SSL certificate credentials are being validated. We also tried connecting to the third party FTPS server using standard FTPS client(FileZilla software), this connection gets established successfully with no certificate issues which means certificate and third party FTP Server is functioning correctly.
We therefore are thinking that the problem lies with our XI system being unable to load the certificate information correctly at the point when FTPS session is being established.
Your help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards

Hello All,
Further in order to test connection set up and communication channel configuration we tried simulating the FTP connection locally by configuring FTP Server using FileZilla at a local machine and accessed it from Client's XI Server.
This set up simulates the problem we encounter with our customer's FTP Server.
If connection security parameter in communication channel for Sender FTP Adapter is set to "FTPs( FTP Using SSL/TLS) with Control Connection" only, file gets successfully created with data at the FTP server but as soon as we switch the connection security parameter to "FTPs( FTP Using SSL/TLS) with Control and Data Connection", we receive error "Certificate rejected by Chain Verifier". The initial handshaking happens successfully and file gets created at the FTP Server but its empty, connection fails when attempt is made to write data into file and we end up with said error thereby closing the connection.
This is what the FTP (FileZilla) sees when the XI system attempts to set-up a fully encrypted data (FTPS) connection i.e., connection security parameter value as"FTPs( FTP Using SSL/TLS) with Control and Data Connection" :-

Dynamic URL for HTTP receiver adapter

Hi all,
when the XI send the http request to the target system, the format maybe like this:
header + body the body is including: Prolog, payload and Epilog
here is about the target system have a 'input' parameter(maybe string type)
is it possible to pass the 'head + body' these value(or maybe the whole http request message) into input
i mean is it possible to set the dynamic URL for http receiver adapter like this:
http://host:port/path?input=<the header and body>
i have searched the blog Dynamic Configuration of Some Communication Channel Parameters using Message Mapping
Link:[/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping]
and the similar threads in the forum
please give me some advice
thanks in advance

When a HTTP server requests the whole message as URL parameters, then I assume that the server also requests an HTTP GET, which is not supported by XI.
Could you check this?

Stefan

Dynamic File name for File receiver adapter

Hello,
I am doing Proxy sender to File receiver scenario.
Filename is generated in SAP R/3 program and I want to create the file with this same name
on target location.
please suggest me how to use this file name in Receiver file adapter?.
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

Hi,
you have to enable the adapter specific parameter --> file name in both the sender and the receiver CC to get the input file name as output file name.
Refer this blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Also you need to use this udf
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;

When i send a test message throw the RWB for Http receiver adapter it is giving the error "Error in processing caused by: com.sap.aii.adapter.http.api.HttpAdapterException: ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT, Read timed out"

when i send a test message throw the RWB for Http receiver adapter it is giving the error "Error in processing caused by: com.sap.aii.adapter.http.api.HttpAdapterException: ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT, Read timed out"

Hi, Michal
I have read your Weblog. It makes sense to me. Thanks a lot for your help! However, I still have some questions and listed them as following. Could you please help to answer them?
Q1: I am new to SAP-XI. So I have no idea about TCODE-SXMB_ADM. Could you introduce more details about it?
Q2: The XI system I am using is running on SAP-ICC's machine. The tools I can use are:
1.Builder for Integration Repository
2.Builder for Integration Configuration
3.System Landscape Directory
4.Runtime Workbench
5.Administration System (for Repository, Directory, Runtime)
Please note that I do not have a complete control on this SAP-XI. Do you think whether or not I can set the timeout parameter by following the instructions provided in your Weblog?
For more details about my SAP-XI, please access the following Web page:
http://iccxi.sap.com:58000/rep/support/admin/index.html
Q3: The following messages are extracted from the SAP-XI. Wish they are hepful to solving my problem.

Standard table that stores communication channel parameters

Hi All,
Can you tell me if there is a standard table that stores the parameters of communication channel?
For example, Which table has the value of "Quality of Service" in "Processing Parameters"?
Regards,
Nisha

Can you tell me if there is a standard table that stores the parameters of communication channel?
not aware of a standard table....each communication has its own QOS.....you can check it in the log in SXMB_MONI....opne the particular message processing and look in the upper window (Window 1) where all the details are mentioned.

Remove namespace alias for HTTP receiver adapter

hello all,
I have a scenario, IDOC->XML (HTTPS). Standard output of PI has ns0: as prefix for each xml tag (ns0 alias for namespace)
I want to remove the namespace alias while preserving the namespace in the output. So removing namespace reference in external definition is not a option.
Is there any way to use XMLAnonymizerBean for HTTP receiver adapter? What are other alternatives (java mapping)?
Thanks,
sachin

Thanks stefan, prateek.
Prateek: I checked this blog earlier. It talks about inbound processing. My scenario is outbound HTTP and I am not sure how I can use specific adapter service as mentioned in blog in outbound case as other scenarios are using standards adapter_plain service.
Stefan: I will try this approach.

Environment or system variables in PI Communication channel parameters

Is it possible to use any of the system/environment variables in the PI Communication channel parameters ? Please point me to the documentation. I know I had seen it on SDN sometime but can't seem to be able to find the link.
I am not interested in ASMA or variable substitution.
Thank you,
Sridhar

I don't know anything other than Asma, DynamicConf, VariableSubs, etc...
There're some system variables like "%f" or "%F" usable in FileAdapter channel (OS command box)

Accessing receiver communication channel parameters in mapping

Hi,
I have an XI sender to HTTP receiver scenario with mapping to set the value of the target URL, which is set as an Adapter Specific Message Attribute (TargetURL).
The mapping is responsible for adding hashed authentication credentials to the end of the URL string.
Ideally I'd like to be able to read the values of the host, port and path from the receiver communication channel configuration than hardcode these in the mapping class.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to read receiver communication channel values within mapping?
I could store the full URL string in the communication channel but this would not be secure hence the preference for doing this in mapping.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi! I need steps for HTTP Receiver adapter

My scenario is like this:
HTTP(HTTP Sender adapter)->XI->File(File adapter).
For this Iam sending the data as payload in the body of HTTP. Now What am i going to do is the opposite of above scenario:
File(FileAdapter)->XI->(HTTP Receiver Adapter)HTTP.
I would like to know what are the steps to transfer a file(xml) from File adapter to XI and from there to Http.
How to send the data using File adapter. Please suggest me some steps.
Hoping a quick response!!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Datta,
For a HHTP -> XI -> FILE Scenario:
DESIGN:
1. Create DataTypes for source and Destinations. Create elements for all the text fields of your HTTP Client so that they can all be mapped into the destination file
2. Create MessageTypes for the two datatypes.
3. Create Message Interfaces. The One for HTTP is the sender, Asynchronous ( as no response is expected) and one for File is receiver, asynchronous.
4. Do the mapping. It will be mostly a one to one mapping of the fields.
5. Create the Interface Mapping.
Configuration:
1. Import your Business System under your Configuration Scenario.
2. Create 2 communication channels. One for Http as a sender and one for File as a receiver.
Check these links for the configuration part.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/64db4daf9f30b4e10000000a11466f/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/79973cc73af456e10000000a114084/content.htm
3. Do the Receiver Agreement for file. HTTP doesnt need a sender agreement.
4. DO the Receiver Determination and Interface Determination.
Weblog which talk about the same scenario:-
/people/sriram.vasudevan3/blog/2005/01/11/demonstrating-use-of-synchronous-asynchronous-bridge-to-integrate-synchronous-and-asynchronous-systems-using-ccbpm-in-sap-xi - although this weblog is
aimed at explaining the sync-async bridge.. Sriram has taken http-to-file scenario as the example
(use case) and explained it...
Check this SDN tv demo, it has detail of HTTP adapter setup.
https://media.sdn.sap.com/SDNTV/main.asp?mediaId=107
Refer to this link for adapter settings.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0d/5ab43b274a960de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
You should also have a HTTP client to send message to XI. In the connecting parameters to XI u have to use the URL in the pattern mentioned by Alex. U have to give all the configuration details in the URL.

About Communication Channel Parameters

What is Variable substitution (target dir/filename scheme) parameter, Run OS command before Message processing and Run OS command after Message processing parameters in the Communication Channel, where we can use this parameters(i.e which type of scenarios)
Edited by: Venkataramesh B on Feb 20, 2008 1:16 AM

Run Operating System Command Before/After Message
Processing
●      Command Line
The operating system command specified here is executed before or after successful file processing. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
%f (file name)
%F (absolute file name including path)
●      Timeout (secs.)
This specifies the maximum runtime of the executing program in seconds. When this time interval is exceeded, the adapter continues processing. The executable program continues to run in the background.
●      Terminate Program After Timeout
Set this indicator if the adapter is to terminate the executing program in the event of a timeout.
The adapter writes the output (STDOUT and STDERR) for the operating system command in the system trace.
check this link for the details:

Missing communication channel parameters after upgrade to PI 7.0

Hi,
we have upgraded XI 3.0 to PI 7.0 following the steps guide without any problem.
The SLD has been reconfigured.
And XI Content with corresponding version and support package level was imported.
But when we try open the communication channels in ID, does not show us the parameters. Besides, does not let us to create a new communication channel. It seems like doesn't recognize the type adapters.
This problem is with file, rfc, jms types. And we can create channels with XI, http and idoc type.
All the channels works correctly before upgrade.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

HI,
I am not sure but check the Parameters in section AdapterFramework in exchange profile also do the CAP cache.
Give a try.
