Communication channel - Variable Substitution error,.

Hi,
I am having the following mesage type used in messag emapping as a target structure
mt_data
-> Variable1
I am having a validation on mt_data node in message mapping for generating it, if condition is satisfied mt_data will be generetaed. Under mt_data i am having a variable. This variable is getting populated with some data using normal source to target mapping.
I am using this variable in my communication channel as a variable substitution, and is used to replace file name.
The issue I am facing is, when the mt_data fails to get generated (valid reason, since validation to generate it failed), communciation channel in RWB fails saying variable for substitution not found.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Mudita

The issue I am facing is, when the mt_data fails to get generated (valid reason, since validation to generate it failed), communciation channel in RWB fails saying variable for substitution not found.
1) make a check on the variable in receiver determination itself...so that if fails then the message stops in Receiver determination itself....why to take it forward till channel and then fail.
2) Make use of some constant term to fill the variable in the mapping if the validation fails.....this will help to put value in the variable even when the validation fails and the message does not fail in channel...filename created.
You need to check with the functional people on how they want the message prcessing to occur when the variable cannot be created by the mapping logic.

Abhishek.

Variable substitution error

Hello All,
Below is my source structure:
<Messages>

             <FILENAME> (1...1)
If using variable substitution for the filed FILE NAME which is in the source structure.
This is the declaration I used in channel:
payload:MT_BILL,0,RECORD,1,FILENAME,1
But i am getting this error in channel monitoring

Hi Dasika,
In variable substitution we use the receiver message type path.
Please map the required source field to any of the field at the reeiver side and use variable substitution.

HI,
your variable declartion is perfect, can you please check the below points,
   1.To specify variables in the target directory and file name scheme, they must be enclosed by % characters.
   2.variable name is case sensitive, can you give only lower case instead of giving upper case.
   3. Model_Number is giving same as per the message type.
Please look below link.

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:
<i>Currently</i>
payload:WMMBID01,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1
<i>Desired</i>
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","<b>FileName</b>");
      // read value
      String Filename = conf.get(KEY_FILENAME);
// to write value:
conf.put(KEY_FILENAME, "MyNewFileName");

'Variable Substitution' error - Expected numeric element index

Hello everyone!
I'm using the 'variable substitution' property in XI to replace the filename of the output file to a value in the message payload.
Here are the parameters I provided:
File Name Scheme: %filename%.xml
Variable Name: filename
Reference: payload:ORDERS05,1,recordset,1,IDOC,1,E1EDK02,BELNR,1
I'm getting this error in the adapter engine:
Caught exception while initializing variable substitution engine: Cannot parse pseudo-path for variable substitution: 'filename': Expected numeric element index, got 'BELNR': For input string: "BELNR"
Can anyone tell me what this means, and how I can fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Glenn

Yup, raj! it's IDOC to file.... I did what you asked but I'm now getting this error:
MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: The Adapter Message Property 'FileName' was configured as mandatory element, but there is no 'DynamicConfiguration' element in the XI Message header: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: The Adapter Message Property 'FileName' was configured as mandatory element, but there is no 'DynamicConfiguration' element in the XI Message header
any idea what it means?
Kind regards,

Variable substitution error in Prod- Urgent

Hi Friends
I transported my objects from dev to production and one of my scenario started giving this error .
Please guide
Delivery of the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: store: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: store.

this error is beacuse the variable substution which is specified in the rceiver file adapter is failling....
ROOT cause:
goto the receiver file adapter of the interface you have moved into PRD...you will c the filename somethinglike this
%var%.txt...below you will c a variabel substuition screen
var payload:..........
check the foeld which is refering from the target strcuutre...the data is not coming into this field of variable substuition...so it is thorwoing this error.....
this is considering the variable substution path is right? i belive it is right since you haev omved this to PRD from Devlopment...if this was working in development...check the data is coming in that field.
wehen you did a tranposrt into PRD you went to the change list did u edit the rceiver adapter mandatory fields according to the PRD envinorment? dd u also make sure the variabel substution is not touched when you did this?

Variable substitution error while using Seeburger module parameter

Hi Freinds,
I would like to use the variable substitution in a receiver file adapter to add the invoice no.
(which is contained in the XML file) to the target filename.
In addition I have to convert the XML file to an X12 EDI format using the seeburger module "localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean".
As soon as this entry is made in the modules the following error message occurs:
"com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException:
Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException:
Caught SAXException while parsing XML payload: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException:
XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 53, 4f, 48(:main:, row:1, col:3)"
My problem is that the conversion from XML to X12 EDI is done before the variable substitution is started.
That`s why the reference for the variable is no longer valid as the file is already converted to a X12 EDI (=flatfile) format.
If I disable one of the two steps (either 1:1-mapping or variable substitution) the other step runs properly.
Has anybody an idea how to solve this topic?
Is it possible to specify the variable substitution as module?
If this is possible I could solve it by just reordering the two steps in the module chain.
Regards
Venkatesh

Use Dynamic Configuration Bean to set this value. You have to use this well before "localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean".
Check SAP note : 974481 for more information.

Second Approach if the above approach doesnt work.
Use Dynamic Configuration concept in UDF to set the filename under message Mapping.

Sender communication channel stopped after error "Connection Timed Out"

Hi experts,
in our scenario we have an asyncronous sender communication channel with polling every 6 seconds to an external FTP server.
Yesterday evening a "Connection Timed Out" error came.
After this error the polling stopped but channel in communication channel monitoring still remains green.
So status green but no polling.
To solve this problem we stopped and then restarted channel from CC monitoring.
The channel is configured "manually".
The question is: Is it possible to avoid this problem? Maybe there's a parameter in configuration to set?
After a time out error the channel must go on polling, it should not stop. Or it must shows red status.
Thanks

Odd Variable Substitution Error in SQL Query

I'm trying to finish up an application but one goofy error is
throwing me for a loop. The error complains about my SQL syntax on
the line containing "#filelist_sql#" near the bottom of the query,
but when I output the SQL and run it in phpMyAdmin, it works fine.
Thanks in advance for any help provided. I think I've just
been looking at this way too long.
Code follows:

Thanks for the quick assistance, Azadi. I am finding the same
bit of strangeness occurring just a bit earlier in my code.
The application complains about the SQL syntax near
"#grouplist_sql#" in the attached code.
After the code gets processed (using '11' for
sql_find_lists.id), the SQL looks like:
SELECT DISTINCT file_id FROM grouplists_to_files WHERE
grouplist_ids = '11' OR grouplist_ids LIKE '11,%' OR grouplist_ids
LIKE '%,11' OR grouplist_ids LIKE '%,11,%'
Hopefully someone can spot something else brilliantly obvious
that is wrong here.

XI Communication Channel Error Explanation

Hi All,
Does anyone happen to know :-
1) Is it possible to use CCMS to email the errors coming from a communication channel error Explanation field
2) Are these messages stored in a table I can check
The reason I need to know this is because we sometimes encounter an error such as "Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 838: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 839 according to structure 'XXX_XXX_XXX':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration / structure 'XXX_XXX_XXX.': More elements in file csv structure than field names specified!
This tells us exactly where the error occurred but using Communication Channel Monitoring the error message only remains for a little while before the polling messages remove it from the display. Since the process runs early hours of the morning we never get to see these messages.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Craig

Hi Raquel,
Let me try to clear out some things in this thread . First of all you do your alert configuration which you say you have already done. Thats good . Now you ask that you want only to monitor the communication channels and you want specific guide . Here is the specific guide.
If you have configured alerts you will know that when you create an alert rule you have the option to choose radio button where did the error occur it could be no restriction , integration engine or adapter engine. You need to choose adapter engine.
Now whenever the colour of the lights change to red. You will get your alerts.

Hello Pasi,
Error: HTTP 403 Forbidden
Description: The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it
Possible Tips:
Path sap/xi/engine not active
HTTP 403 during cache refresh of the adapter framework - Refer SAP Note -751856
Because of Inactive Services in ICF Go to SICF transaction and activate the services. Refer SAP Note -517484
Error in RWB/Message Monitoring- because of J2EE roles Refer SAP Note -796726
Error in SOAP Adapter - "403 Forbidden" from the adapter's servlet. Because of the URL is incorrect or the adapter is not correctly deployed.

Error in JMS Communication Channel not raising alert

Processing Errors in JMS Communication Channel are not raising alerts.
The settings on the communication channel retires are set at 3 and 5min interval.
In RWB the JMS communication channel shows processing errors but an alert is not raised.
The alert are configured in our system and we even have a catch all alert rule with * (wildcard). Errors in PI message processing are raising alerts but errors in Comm Channel are not raising alerts.
The message in SXI_MONITOR shows as processed successfully but when we check the RWB and Comm. Channel Monitoring we see processing errors "Channel error occured; detailed error description: JMS error: Connection to the server has been terminated; Linked error: Connection reset, Error Code:null"
Are we missing any configuration? How do we get alerts/notifications if there are errors in Comm. Channel without having to login into RWB and watch it periodically?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
RM

Hi,
What is the staus of Communication channel in RWB when it fails, RED ??if yes then it should genarate alert.
create one more alert for specific to JMS interface and check it out.

Error at sender JDBC communication channel

Dear All,
While executing JDBC(MS-Access)-PI-RFC interface, we are getting error in sender JDBC communication channel. The error is as following:
Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=
sappidev\Datatran\Database.mdb' using the JDBC driver 'jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver': 'com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.sql.DriverManagerException: Can not establish connection:: SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified'.
I have checked various posts on forums and as per those no drivers installation is required to access MS-Access database and I am not able to find any post which could solve my problem.
Kindly guide me on what might be the problem and how this can be resolved.
Regards,
NJ

Hi Nishu,
That error ALWAYS means your DSN name is incorrect or can't be accessed for some reason (permission). The ODBC part says that the bridge is working.
But that DSN is 100% wrong or cannot be seen by the user account that the server is running as. Make sure you have a system DSN and not a user one.
You can refer these....

Capturing the communication channel monitoring error into an alert.

Hi,
The following is my scenario:
File adapter polls using file content conversion,if the source file is not in a proper format the file wont be picked up and communication channel will show error in channel monitoring.
I have to configure an alert for the same.
Can i capture the error message shown in communication channel monitoring and raise alert?
Many Thanks,
