Communication Channel Scheduling only on certain days

Hi PI Experts,
We have Availability Planning for a communication channel to run daily for one hour. But we dont want this channel to run on Fridays and Saturdays. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks and Regards,
Dhawal

HI,
That is possible by maintaining the proper detail in Availablity planning. You just remove the check box option for the particular day and then it will work.
In Availability planning:
You maintain start time and duration means hours for active then days to be active.

Communication channel scheduling

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to schedule MDM PI Sender communication channel. The requirement is that the channel should be active only on last three weekdays of the month and first three weekdays of the month.
I am aware of the feature 'Planning Availability Times' in PI from SP19 (source Adapter Scheduling - Hail SP 19 :-)). But using this we can schedule for a particular day of the month like 1st day or 2nd day etc.
Is there any way to achieve this requirement? Please note that the channel should work only on WEEKDAYs.
Appreciate your inputs on this.
Regards,
Prasad

Prasad,
WE have an option to start/stop CC's using a URL externally (you can write a script or java program where you can put your date logic and call the URL).
Check the following blogs and you will get a better understanding:

Communication Channel Schedule

Hi All,
If schedule a async JDBC sender channel once in a day.It will trigger once? or it will pick data again and again after the schedule time?
Please confirm.
Thanks,
Arthita

Hi Arthita,
If you are setting the polling interval, then the channel will poll after the time duration mentioned in the sender communication channel.
In this case, if the sender JDBC channel should poll for once a day, then you can mention the value as below:
Poll interval in secs as 86400
Poll interval in msecs as 86400000.
If you are setting the polling interval, the channel will be active (not stopped) and start the polling after the time limit mentioned in the sender channel.
At the same time, if you are scheduling the channel, the channel will be stopped after the time interval mentioned in the ATP.
Thanks,
Kanda

Validate source data at communication channel level only....

Hello Experts
I want to validate the source data just after picking the file i.e at communication channel level. The error file or record has to moved to the archive folder. This is my thought correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks in advance

Hi Arjun,
Communication channel only pick up the data,its does not have capability to check the content,if you want to implement this logic for communication channel,writing adapter module is the right option.
You need to write a logic in EJB Module to validate the content ,its purely depending on Logic how you are going to write in JAVA.
if you are using PI7.1 you can validate your payload before picking up the message.
search in sdn you will find some usefull documents how to write adapter module.

Communication channel scheduling transport

I did schedule a JDBC sender adapter comm channel to run daily at 7AM,
if I transport this from Dev to QA,
will it has be re - scheduled in QA box or no need?

Hi,
As far I understand you need to reschedule the channel in QA. If you connecting to the same datebase in both the Dev and QA deactivate or switch off the scheduling in any one as both the CC will do a query at the same time.
I have been involved in scheduling only in Production and have not tried scheduling it in Dev and moving the same till production.
My speculation is it would require rescheduling, anycase update the thread about the outcome.
Thanks

Sender file communication channel polling only when the file is written

Hi guys,
I have the following scenario:
I have developed an XI interface that takes a .txt file from SAP R/3's file system, usr/sap/trans/ and delivers it into another ftp location. The problem that we face is that the file is written into source directory from an ABAP program. As a result, XI go and polls into source directory when the file is not completely written, or when it is empty, which blocks the process.
Is there a way to force XI in order to poll the source directory only when the file is complete?
We have thought of exporting the file into a name that XI does not expect and as soon as the file is complete to rename the file from inside ABAP program into what XI expects.
However, the command inside ABAP changed the Code page of the file and we cannot see some special characters in the file that is delivered to the ftp location.
Any ideas??

Disabling all communication channels before starting XI

We are mirroring our XI system for DR purposes and I need to work out how to stop XI from retrieving and delivering messages when I start it up. I want to be able start up the DR system on the same network to check that it looks OK, but with all communication channels disabled (or stopped!).
Does anybody know how to do this?
Regards,
Jason

Hello All,
Sorry for opening a topic that is very old but every google search ends up here.
Run the script to set the channels to “STOPPED” state:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[XI_AF_ADM_STATE] set ACTIVATION_STATE = 'STOPPED';
This the script below will set the History of the communication channels to STOPPED:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[XI_AF_ADM_STATEHIS] set ACTIVATION_STATE = 'STOPPED';
This will set the automatic scheduled communication channels schedule to disabled:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[[XI_AF_ADM_SCHEDULE] set ENABLED = '0';
Next for disabling new incoming messages. Disable the Integration Engine (Set ENTRY LOCK to 1):
if exists (select * from <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] where CLIENT = '200' and AREA = 'RUNTIME' and PARAM = 'ENTRY_LOCK')
update <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] set VALUE = '0' where CLIENT = '200' and AREA = 'RUNTIME' and PARAM = 'ENTRY_LOCK';
else
insert into <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] (CLIENT, AREA, PARAM, SUBPARAM, GENERIC, VALUE, CHGTSTAMP, CHGUSER)
VALUES ('200', 'RUNTIME', 'ENTRY_LOCK', '', '0', '1', '20131206011316.8280000', 'DDIC');
The following will disable the abap RFC's:
update [SID].[sid].[RFCDES] set RFCOPTIONS = REPLACE(RFCOPTIONS,'N=','N=#') where RFCTYPE = 'T';
update [SID].[sid].[RFCDES] set RFCOPTIONS = REPLACE(RFCOPTIONS,'H=','H=#') where RFCTYPE = '3';
Replace <SID> with the sap<sid>.
Keep in mind that the mail is still being send out when you start SAP.
To active the Integration Server for incoming messages:
f you have locked the Integration Server for incoming messages, open it by calling the transaction Integration Engine - Administration (SXMB_ADM) and choosing Integration Engine Configuration Specific Configuration Change New Entries . Select the category RUNTIME and then the parameter ENTRY LOCK: Set the current value to 0 (NOT LOCKED) and choose Save
The message in the queues are still being processed.

How can we stop communication channel at run time?

Hi,
I have a requirement where in we have to stop the JMS Sender communication channel in case the Receiver System is down. Could you please let me know how to stop the sender communication channel at run time.
Thanks
Rajeev Gupta

Rajeev,
Like Praveen Kumar said, I dont think there is an out of the box solution for this. But if you want to stop the communication channel, you could do it using a BPM.This solution is just something that came to my mind. It would be resource intensive to implement this. But here goes...
Try to make the call to the Receiver System a synchronous call and have an exception branch in the block which has the synchronous step type. So if the Receiver System is down you would get an error in the Sync Step Type and it would go to the exception branch.Try to make a HTTP call from BPM to stop the communication channel. The URL for the HTTP call could be what Matias Denker suggested. This would stop the communication channel. This solution might however have two disadvantage that i foresee.
1) It might stop the communication channel not only for system down but for any kind of synchronous error.
2) Starting the communication channel has to again be a whole different process.
Thanks

Scheduled Stop and Start all PI communication channels

Hi,
Is there a way to Schedule Stop all PI communication channels at perticular time and start back at pertuclar date and time?
or is it only a munual way? stop all sender communication channels? if so, how do i keep track of the channels proprties details? like automatic control, external control off etc?
Thanks.
Prema

Hi Prema,
You may try the below steps to start and start the channels automatically.
1> Open page http://<<hostname>>:<<portnumber>>/mdt/channelmonitorservlet
2> click on "Availability Time Planning" on right top of your page.
3> click on create. Fill up the requied details. Please note the below example is for the channel for which I want to be up only from Monday to Saturday and for only one hour on these days from 11AM to 12PM.
Go to "communication channels" tab enter the channel name as below and it will select the channels for which you want this schedule to work.
Activate this and in communication channel make sure that these channels are in "automatic control". You may do further trial on this and it should serve your purpose if your system has fixed start downtime and fixed start up time.

Calendar - I only want repeats on certain days of the week.

I'm trying to be a responsible adult with a fancy schedule and everything for my courses. Unfortunately, some courses are Monday Wednesday Friday while others are Tuesday Wednesday. I've been trying to find a custom repeat option that will only repeat my reminders on certain days. I see old discussions of people using iCal a few years ago that appeared to have their issue resolved with a custom repeat option, but on the new Calendar with iOS 7 I don't see this option. Am I missing something or did they actually leave this feature out?
Thanks!

Hi,
ASCP gives the recommendations and dates based on the organization manufacturing calendar.
It is not possible to have a different calendar for planning for CERTAIN set of items.
We do not have any feature to support this requirement.
One possible workaround which you may consider using is to firm the planned orders/batches; once they are recommended; to finish on Friday and re-run the plan.
This needs manual intervention and re-running the plan for the changes to be aligned to whole plan.
Alternatively, you may consider firming these using MSC Post Plan hook to firm these orders automatically. But even in this case, if the complete plan has to be aligned the plan needs to be re-run.
Hope that answers your query!

Mohan Balaji

Scheduling Communication Channel

Hi all,
Please can you help me in two issues:
1. How do I Schedule the Communication channel to pick a file at a particular time, say only at 10.30 pm daily for 30 minutes?
2. In my scenario many files are placed in the same FTP location based on slight changes in the name of files based on the system from where they are placed, like 2000 for IB, 3000 for IF, etc. So i need to poll both files with file name starting with 2000 and 3000. Can it be done using a single Communication Channel?
Expecting your replies soon,
Thanking you,
Harikumar. S

Hi Hari,
You can give the time schedule in Processing Parameters of Sender communication channel or unix administrator also can schedule the time for interfaces with all (r/w/ex) permeations.
Your query like 2000 for IB, 3000 for IF, etc. So i need to poll both files with file name starting with 2000 and 3000. Can it be done using a single Communication Channel?
As per knowledge you have 2 receivers one for 2000 , other for 3000 , this scenario possible to send the data using single communication channel.
In message mapping using java function get the source file and in Interface Determination using X-path can differentiates and sends to target systems.

Rajkumar

Need to use only one sender and receiver communication channel.

Hello Experts.
I have a scenario where in I have to use only one sender and receiver communication channel to push files from different source directories to different receiver directories.
For Eg;
Sender
D://dir1/file1 --->                  E://dir1/File1
F://dir2/file2 ---->                 G://dir2/file2
H://dir3/file3----->                 I://dir3/file3.
Can this be achieved by using pass through scenario?
Please let me know if the requirement is not clear.
Thanks in advance.
Advit Ramesh

Hi Advit,
I think it is possible. You have to use the Advanced Selection for Source file in the sender channel to define multiple files to be picked up. Also, the Dynamic configuration must also be enabled and used in the mapping so you can manipulate the target directory and target file name based on your source files.
For Polling from multiple directories:

Schedule Receiver RFC communication channel to call R3 RFC-FM.

Hi,
I have requirement that I need to schedule/trigger from PI to RFC call R3 function module. Wonder if anyone here has done similar thing before? I tried to use ATP (Availability time planning) in RWB. But this seem does not success for me as there is no response and error message for this.
Below is my configuration detail:
Configured:
1. Receiver communication channel - RFC
2. Receiver agreement with the RFC message type assigned.
3. Scheduled receiver RFC communication channel via ATP daily
*(It is possible to make scheduling job in R/3 but we are not considering this way)
Please let me know if anyone has done this before or any other suggestion to do the scheduling from PI.
Thanks!
Regards,
SP

Hi SP,
As you mentioned, ATP would allow adapter to be open and in start state. Adapter's RFC, SOAP, JMS would need some other application to trigger the message processing because these are not like pooling adapter's File, JDBC and Mail. RFC adapter channel always listening to the RFC port and FM execution. Once FM from R/3 executed then the RFC adapter would trigger it's message processing.
For Sender RFC channel: In order to trigger the RFC adapter execution at particular time then you should write a simple ABAP code which would act a batch application and which does the triggering the FM and Sender RFC channel.
For Receiver Channel: For Receiver RFC channel it's bit trichy because here you have force Receiver RFC adapter to connect backend the execute or initialize the variables without having any XI message triggered from Sender PI channel.
I have 2 ideas:
1. A little difficult approach, similar to the ABAPbatch code, you need to write a java adapter module which can trigger RFC receiver channel to connect and do an initialisation at FM at regular interval.
2. Simple approch configure a File-> 2-> RFC receiver scenario, configure File sender adapter to pick a dummy file at regular interval and RFC receiver channel does the rest.
Please let me know still you have any doubts,
Thanks,
RK

RFC Communication Channel only allows for one Logon User

We're currently building a SOAP over HTTPS application in XI where
an RFC communication channel connects to R3 with a logon user id
and logon password (RFC Client Parameter). When updates are made
on the R3 side using BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN (for example), they're all
done with the one logon user id. So fields "Last Changed by" or "Created by" have the
one id, and any approvals can only be done by the one manager over the one id XI uses.
If the external application passed an id (and password if necessary) to
XI, is there any way connect to R3 using the passed id, and not have to
use the one generic id . If we're limited to the one id, is it
possible on the R3 side to be able to change the id to a passed id that
can then run the BAPI's/RFC's ?

To capture parameter from URL you need to use ASMA for SOAP.
