Suppressing Popup screens while controlling Communication Channel externaly

Hello PI Gurus
I have figured out how to control communication channel externally for stopping and starting the channels.
I am trying to write a simple abap code to do this. Since I have several channels, I am putting in a loop. It is doing the job well. However, for each channel a IE screen pops up with the XML data for that particular URL.
I am sure many of you might have been controlling comm. channels externally and might have come across this problem. I would appreciate iif you can please let me know how you got this issue resolved.
Thanks
Ram

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.

Communication Channel Stop and Start

Hello everyone,
We are using XI along with MQ for queing messages to our 3rd party logistics. Due to some issues happened in the past, it is decided to stop and restart the MQ channels every weekend. Now the problem is, when the MQ is down, some of the XI communication channels will go down, and will not start automatically, when the MQ bounces back. Now this had created a manual activity every weekend to stop and start all communication channels.
Question is, is there any way we can schedule it as a job to stop and start the channels, at a specific time ?

Hi!
It is possible in scheduling the messages in XI...
1. But before doing this make sure that at what time you want to be schedule ?
2. Is that time will be uniform for every week or else is it may varies ?
3. If Uniform please make schedule or else if it is varying note the difference between those timings I mean
     If your Messages are flowing for every Tuesday and also every Thursday...., etc..
4. You can schedule what ever may be the time it is suppose if those timings are varying weekly once a
     day but in that single day or next day if it was more than once..then better scheduling the
      communication channels to be start for and to be process for that particular 2 days and remaining days
      it wont work I mean stopping Cc
5. Now when come to process...in scheduling...
a) Click RWB>Component Monitoring>Communication Channel monitoiing
b) Right side u can check Availability TIme planning option click that..a seperate window will opens
    THere u can observe these options..
c) also u can see the log
I hope it will be useful to you...
Availability plan--> ONCE /DIALY / WEEKLY/ MONTHLY based on your req select any one...
Create: to create the scheduling...
change: to change the existing one
Save: to save
Reset if u want toreset alll
Delete and copy also as u know these..
While creating you can again see these options 3 main TABS
details: --> Corresponding details
CC: select ur chanel
OPTION 2
In XI 3.O you can directly do scheduling there after selecting the radio button of any Comunication channel and there adjacent to Audit log u can see availability time plan other than rt side top corder..
I hope it will be useful to u

AE: multiple Communication Channel instances and message re-sending

Hi All,
My scenario is as follows:
We are running the adapter engine on a server cluster. In the RWB, I have multiple instances of the Communication Channels, for theit various cluster nodes.
My question is:
I have a message in the RWB, which is in System Error state in the AE. If I resend this message from the RWB, does it get queued for the same communication channel instance (as last time, when it failed), or can it get assigned to a new instance?
Hope my question is clear.
Regards,
Puloma.

Hi,
I realized that, a message will always be handled by the same instance of the Communication Channel.
But Exception is when an instance is down. In this case the dispatcher will immediately schedule this message for another instance.
In our scenario, all the instances of the Communication Channel were down, and all the messages were in System Error state, with the error: "Channel not initialized."
In this case, if the message is resent, will it go to the same instance, or to a different instance?
Regards,
Puloma.

Calling a communication channel externally

Hi Experts
I want to dynamically call the communication channel from bpm during runtime.For this i am using a transformation step and writing a java code to call the url.But how to pass the username and password required to login into the adapter framework.Below is the java code i am using :
URL channelurl = new URL("http://hostname:port/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=&service=\"NP_DEV_3RD_POC1\"&channel=\"CC_Sender_File_FiletoMail\"&action=\"start\"");
URLConnection channelconn = channelurl.openConnection();

Sender RFC and JDBC communication channels required to be activated

Hello Guys,
Whenever we have a Oracle restart after the server is shut down for maintainence . The sender JDBC communication channel does not poll and we have to activate the channel again in the Integration Directory to make it work, is there any way to make it work automatically.
Similar is tha case with the sender RFC communication channel.
Allthough the component monitoring shows green button for the JDBC, RFC communication channel.
In case of the JMS channel (sender) the channels are in red.
Thanks for your help.

HI
There is no automatic ways to restart channel that you have to manually start.
You need to stop the channels first before getting oracle server down for maintenance. This will save from errors. Maximum what you can do is to start stop channel using a program externally but that require development.

Open and close communication channel in one link

Hello,
I implement with successful the scenario that described in this blog:
Control Communication Channels Externally without using RWB
Right now I use with this link to start the CC
http://aaaa:50000/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=*&service=Open_Friday_Service_Sender&channel=Open_Friday_Sender&action=start
And with this link to stop the CC
http://aaaa:50000/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=*&service=Open_Friday_Service_Sender&channel=Open_Friday_Sender&action=stop
I looking for the way to start and stop the communication channel in one link.

hi elan
i think you need to write an abap program and schedule it..
abap program will call this HTTP link as The URL has no dependency on where it is called.

Yes you can write script and control the channels externally like give start or stop command at your specified requirement time.
Please see this link
Control Communication Channels Externally without using RWB
Also you can use wget or curl command in the script followed by http url string.
Example:
wget http(s)://host:port/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=party&service=service&channel=channel&action=start

Run Sender Communication channel for every 4Hrs

Dear all,
I have requirement to schedule sender CC in production for every 4hrs.
We have option called daily but not hourly !!!
Is it possible to schedule sender CC like this for every 4hrs??
Note: For Some reasons i can't increase the polling to 4hrs in sender channel to solve this issue
Regards

Bhavana,
Found a solution. Create a unix script and run the command to start and stop the communication channel as per your requirement.
Below is the syntax. You can try using wget command or curl in unix followed by the below command
http(s)://host:port/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=party&service=service&channel=channel&action=action
wget http(s)://...
or
curl http(s)://...

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:

Stop communication channel after data delivery

Hi all,
I have a communication channel of type JDBC.
The channel should be started and stopped via external control.
The problem is that I don't know when the data transfer is completed in order to stop the channel.
Or is there a functionality that a communication channel is stopped automatically after running.
regards

My understanding is that you want to switch off the channel only after all the inserts have been done in DB, am I right?
There is a solution but an ugly one You have to send a response back from the DB claiming that the inserts are completed, this response message can be linked with your external control program which will end up in stopping the channel.
If you or anyone else come up with a better solution, please share with the forum.

XI Communication Channel setting for MQ Cluster

Hi all,
I am looking for information related to communication channel settings to access a MQ cluster using JMS adapter. Please provide any helpfull links.
I want to know if this would be any different when XI interfaces with a MQ without clustering.
Thanks!

I don't know which cluster mechanism you have, but if you have 2 hostname you should think to a method to switch from a node to the other in easy way, deactivating one and activating the other (for instance with the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/45/0c86aab4d14dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm">Controlling a Communication Channel Externally</a>)
I suggest you to verify how it will be in production instance: real cluster ? switch over ? virtual IP ?

One communication channel with 2 cluster node functioning at the same time

Hi Gurus,
We have PI 7.1 installed in a HA environment, which includes two servers.
server A: ASCSSCSDBERSAAS
server B: ERS + PAS
and we can see a jdbc channel in the communication channel monitoring, and along with the CC there are two cluster ID available,both of which are showing green -- functioning.
now the issue is the process is actually not started because there is no processing details, and when we stop the CC and then start, nothing happens, but there are still 2 green nights, seems very strange.
does any one have such experience and how can make these two nodes work well?
Thanks.

Probably they use an older version of alsa that doesn't have dmix enabled by default.
Have a read through: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_Compl … ix%29#dmix
Perhaps it will help.
