Decentralized Adapter Engine

Hello,
We have installed an XI landscape (XID, XIQ, XIP) on Unix along with a single decentralized Adapter Engine on Windows (XD1) which is currently configured for use with our XID system. We would like to also use this same decentralized Adapter Engine with our XIQ system. However, when we export a communication channel from XID that is configured to use the decentralized adapter engine (af.XID.calxid1) and subsequently import the communication channel into XIQ the decentralized Adapter
engine that was configured in XID (af.XD1.calxid1) is
replaced with "Integration Server"  (Default) in the Communication Channel configuration in XIQ. The pull down to choose an adapter engine shows only the (Default) Integration server as an available choice. Currently XID and XIQ are using the same SLD and the decentralized adapter engine (af.XD1.calxid1) is identified there. I have been unable to determine how to use the decentralized adapter engine with our XIQ system.  Does anyone know whether it is possible to have multiple XI systems using the same de-centralized Adapter Engine?  And if it is possible how does one configure the second XI system (XIQ) to use the decentralized adapter engine?
Thanks.

Hello Dan,
a decentralized AE can only be attached to a single Integration Server.

Thilo

  • Sender File Adapter Not Showing in Decentral Adapter Engine

    Hi,
    We have recently implemented a Decentral Adapter Engine on a windows box. The adapter engine seems to be working fine because my adapters show and seem to work fine in it.
    However, when I define a Sender File Adapter that uses File Content Conversion message protocol instead of just File messaeg protocol, the adapter does not show up in the decentral adapter engine.
    I made sure that Adapter Engine parameter in the Sender File Adapter shows the new adapter engine but that does not seem to be working. If change the Adapter Enginer parameter to show the Central Adapter Engine, then I can see the Sender File Adapter on the Central Adapter engine and it works fine. (Note: The Central Adapter Engine is installed on a Unix box) 
    Here are the paramters I defined for the Sender File Adapter:
    - Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
    - Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
    - Adapter Engine: (new Adapter Name)

    Your help is much appreciated.

    Hi Alaa,
    look into this document:
    http://service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides -> Exchange Infrastructure -> Troubleshooting: Adapter Engine 3.0 (Expert Call slides)
    If the File Adapter works without conversion, then you should count the number of fields in a row. If it differs from the configuration, then it runs on error.
    Another idea is to check the content type of the file. When you do not enter a File Encoding, then the file adapter assumes utf-8. If the file is for example latin-1, then the number of characters in a row are not counted correctly.

  • Decentral Adapter Engine SOAP ( XI ) to ECC Proxy

    Hi,
    I'm facing a situation in one of our integration scenarios, where we have a Integrated Configuration ( Sender -> Decentral Adapter Engine -> Receiver ). File -> SOAP ( XI 3.0 ). On Adapter Engine I see the messages in OK status, but I didn't see them in ECC sxmb_moni...?
    Could you please help me where to check, what could be a problem?
    There are no issue in st22, no entries in smq2.
    Many Thanks,
    Milan

    Hi Indrajit,
    yes exactly I did that, compare the number of successfully messages leaving PI and entering ECC and I have different numbers. I have 6 successfull from PI, 0 in ECC...
    This is the question, why? Where do I check except ST22, what kind of error occured. This happed once so far we are aware of...

  • Configuration Steps for Decentralized Adapter Engine

    Hi all,
    What all configuration steps are required to make Adapter Engine as
    Decentralized AE.
    I have made required changes in SLD DataSupplier in Visual Administrator.
    what more configurations have to be done? On SAP XI Server and Decentralized
    Adapter Engine.
    With regards
    Prasad

    Prasad,
    After configuring SLD data supplier in Visual Admin, you need to the following
    1) Configure the gateway service for the central integration server on adapter engine host.
    2) Perform Initial adapter engine cache refresh
    3) Trigger data transfer to SLD
    4) Check the connection parameters in exchangeProfile
    5) Create HTTP destination pmistore in java environment
    you have to go through all these tests for decentralized adapter engine. If you have XI configuration guide, it has all these steps in detail for you to configure

  • Decentralized Adapter Engine working

    Hi guys,
    I have installed a decentralized adapter engine for my XI Server. I have a scenario which i run with default Adapter Engine(Integration Server), runs fine.
    However, when i run it with choosing Decentralized AE it gives such errors in

    Exception caught by adapter framework: null
    Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: RecoverableException.
    Also i am testing this for two simple file2file scenarios. It's acting differently; in a scenario sender commn channel picks file, in other not.
    Is there any configuration settings that's remaining? Or something else?

  • Installaing decentral Adapter Engine (Java EE) 7.1 Including Enhanc

    Dear All
    we are installaing decentral Adapter Engine (Java EE) 7.1 Including Enhancement package 1 on Linux with database DB2.To do installation we have followed the installation guide "Adapter Engine (Java EE) 7.1 Including Enhancement Package 1 on Linux: IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and WindowsTarget"
    Accoridng to that document "In the Welcome screen, choose the required SAPinst installation option under the node SAP EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1Installation >OptionsOptional Standalone Units >Partner Connectivity Kit." we have followed the same.
    The installation has been completed successfully.But to do post-installation activities the java url in not comming up.
    ,we have tried with physical host and ip address as well.From os level we have found that server0 process is in running status.
    I am not sure why the installation guide is asking us to follow  Process Integration 7.1Installation >OptionsOptional Standalone Units >Partner Connectivity Kit?
    Will you please let me know whether this is the correct procedure for Installation of Adapter engine on Pi 7.1 EHP1
    is there any prerequisite steps are there for adapter enginee
    Thanks and Regards
    ravikiran.CH

    Hello
    From your description, it appears that you have installed a PCK and not a decentral Adapter Engine.
    I guess you need to follow Process Integration 7.1Installation
    -> Optional Standalone Units
    -> Adapter Engine
    You can undeploy the PCK by following the steps in the note #1295094 Initialization of PI 7.1 XITOOLS fails.

  • Soap LookupService with Decentralized Adapter Engine

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to use a Decentralized adapter engine with the Lookup Service on PI 7.1 , but when try to use that, it doesn't work, because Lookup Service is default configure to use Central adapter only. I would like how to set a decentralize adapter.
    How to do a Soap Lookup using a Decentral adapter?
    Now, I use the following:
    Channel channel = LookupService.getChannel("BC_SF_***","CC**");
    SystemAccessor accessor = null;
    accessor = LookupService.getSystemAccessor(channel);
    Thanks in advance.

    You define in the communication channel, which adapter engine should be used, not in the mapping.

  • Retrive SID of XI server from EJB used in decentral adapter engine

    Hi Experts,
                        We have a requirement where we need to call an RFC from a EJB bean using load balancing. To do the JCO call, we need the SID of the XI system as an input parameter for the createConnection function.
    The SID can be retrieved using System.getProperty("SAPSYSTEMNAME"), however, we need to know if this is called in a decentral adapter engine, whether the getProperty() function will return the SID of the XI server, when called from a bean used in the sender adapter of a decentral adapter engine.
    Regards

    > however, we need to know if this is called in a decentral adapter engine, whether the getProperty() function will return the SID of the XI server, when called from a bean used in the sender adapter of a decentral adapter engine.
    The decentral adapter engine has its own SID. So you need another solution for retrieving the SID of XI server. Maybe a property file?

  • Decentral Adapter Engine

    Currently documentation only indicates the ability to create a single decentralized adapter engine.  (1) Is this in addition to the existing central adapter engine or do I have to choose which one I will use?  (2) Does the decentralized adapter engine have to run on its own WAS?  (3) If I am planning for a high volume of messages will the decentralized adapter engine perform load balancing for my integration engine?  (4) Can I have more than one decentralized adapter engine?  (5) If so, how do I configure these decentralized adapter engines to communicate to my integration engine?  (6) In addition, how do I control message flow from the integration engine to 1 to many decentralized adapter engines?    Feedback as well as any reference to additional information is much appreciated.

    Hi Kirk,
    (1): in addition
    (2): no, jou need to install J2SE adapter engine
    (3): yes
    (4): as much as you like
    (5): you configure like in XI 2.0 with configuration files. That is described at the XI documentation. For messages going to decentral adapter use channel XI with specified URL, for incoming messages you don't need a channel.
    (6):1 to many: Just put your receivers to receiver determination.

  • Decentral adapter engine sp14

    Hi All,
    Do we compulsory needed De central adapter engine and how to do this.
    According my understanding If I use in my scenarios rfc/Idoc adpter i can use proxy server and central adapter.
    Pls anyone clarify my assumption.
    Venu.

    Hi Venu,
    no, you do not need a decentral adapter engine. Not for RFC and IDoc nor for any other technical adapter. The central adapter engine which will be installed with the integration server can hold all technical adapters (File, JDBC etc). Decentral adapter engines are only used, if there are special requirements such as network separation etc.

  • Decentral adapter engine & security

    Hi Guys,
    We have a requrement wherein there are 10 business systems in the landscape to be connected to XI. would it be advisable to install 10 decentral adapter engines on all the 10 business systems to ensure the security of the message sent by the different systems to SAP XI? Can we install the decentral adapter engine on the business system itself? If not, what could be the best option to ensure the secured message delivery to XI system from all the different business systems. I have read the ppt https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/03fd85cc-0201-0010-8ca4-a32a119a582d
    where it says that the decentral adapter engine should be used when close proximity with the business system is needed. Does it mean that we have to install the decentral adapter engine on every business system from which we want to ensure secure message transfer?
    <It is against the rules of Engagement to post a question with the catch of awarding points. Please refrain from the same.>
    Edited by: Bhavesh Kantilal on Dec 3, 2008 10:26 AM

    So, I think your have the answer in the link above:
    A decentral adapter engine is used when we need to connect to other applicaton systems through a firewall.
    Xi does not provide any such security, so in order to ensure security and to allow minimal access to out sld and other objects we use an external adapter engine(a decentralised adapter engine).
    An example of using a decentralised AE would be when we connect the PCK
    You could install a non-central adapter enfine/PCK in those business systems outside your network.
    In your inside business systems is not necessary.

  • Decentral adapter engine questions

    Guru's,
    My customer's XI 3.0 system has interfaces to 30 partners, almost all using the SOAP adapter. It turns out that when XI sends  a high volume of messages to one partner and this partner is not responding (system down, network issues, etc.) all messages to the other 29 systems are blocked/timing out in the soap adapter because this adapter cannot deliver it's messages to the misbehaving partner.
    Therefor the customer wants to have a dedicated AE for business critical processes. They claim they need a decentral adapter engine to achieve this.
    My question: is that the best solution in this case? The customer has a CI and DI on different hosts and thus already two AE. Can't they make use of that to split important/less important traffic to their partners?
    Assume the DAE is needed anyway. We want to install that on the same hardware as the XI system itself, because most of the connectivity is already in place.
    Question: Does this DAE need it's own SID or can it use the same SID as XI itself with a unique instance number? If the DAE needs it's own SID, then I need to create a database as well (+ backup + database maintenance)...
    There is also the requirment to use 2048-bit certificates. The current  XI 3.0 supports only 1024-bit, NW 7.00 supports 2048-bit.  Is it supported by SAP to have a XI 3.0 system with a NW 7.00 Decentral Adapter Engine?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rob Veenman
    SAP Basis.

    Hi Rob
    I can't answer all your questions but I can offer some tips that will help improve the performance and perhaps you will not need to install the DAE.
    1) you can increase the number of queues/threads available to the SOAP adapter. This will help with performance issues in high load situations.
    See the blog: /people/kenny.scott/blog/2007/08/20/messaging-system-queue-properties-after-xi-30-sp19-xi-70sp11 for details on how to do this.
    2) apply note #1136790 Blocking receiver channel may affect the whole adapter type. The parameter in this note will help prevent a problem with one SOAP channel, for example, blocking all your other SOAP channels. This will allow other interfaces to operate as normal if the high load interface has problems.
    See the blog: /people/kenny.scott/blog/2008/12/05/xipi-file-and-jdbc-receiver-adapter-performance-and-availability-improvements
    You should be on a SP higher than SP20 to avail of the functionalities in points 1 and 2 above.
    3) also ensure note #937159 XI Adapter Engine is stuck. This will help with the Adapter Engine performance.
    Maybe some of the other forum users can help you with your other questions.
    Regards
    Mark

  • Decentralized Adapter Engine or Local Adapter Engine

    Hi Experts,
    I hv a doubt like what exactly we are achieving by installing a local Adapter engine?  Is this something to handle the firewall protocols? In one of the SAP material, it has been mentioned that aditional adapter engines may need to be installed "Close" (in a network sense) to the Business System? What does it mean?  What are the advantages over a centralized adapter engine?
    regards

    Vijaya Lakshmi,
    Every XI installation will install a default adapter engine and these are called as the Central / Local Adapter Engines. Most of the times this one Adapter Engine is more than sufficient.
    At times, when the load on your server is going to be high , you can install a Decentral Adapter Engines and these are nothing but seprate instances of your Adapter Engine that can pick data and send it to your Integration Engine.
    The need for a decentral Adapter Engine also arises when you have security restrictions, DMZ , etc in the landscape where one adapter engie is used for one particluar DMZ and another acts as the local adapter engine etc.
