Dynamic http url

Hi everyone,
My customer wants us to sent data to a DYNAMIC url with http GET.
The URL is like: https://abc.com/queuename/requestID
Quename changes and the request ID. Each request has a different request ID
Now, in the HTTP adapter I saw that it is not possible to invoke such an URL?
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
As I know in asma the URL gets extended with the parameters like below:
URL: https://abc.com/queuename?requestID=0000
With the question mark the parameters are added. Am I wrong? Or which ASMA specification are you talking about?
By the way, the request ID is provided in the response of the previous request. For example, I make a request and in the response xml a request ID is provided. In the next request I am going to use that request ID etc.

Dynamically append values to http url in BPEL http bindings

hi ,
I have a requirement where I have to post an xml over the http url 'http://todm2344:67033/access/auth'.
I have created a wsdl file with http bindings and the schema that this url expects and invoked that wsdl from my bpel process.
But now the requirement is that I need to send a value of an id appended to the above url.
Each time when i post an xml i should send it as say ''http://todm2344:67033/access/auth/34372''.
That appended value is some value that comes in the request of the my BPEL.
Please let me know on how this can be done.
Thanks in advance!!!

See thread Re: Noob Q - Override a WSDL location attribute
Several good answers. I wrote:
If you want to set the WS address at run time, e.g. from a property in your BPEL process that knows whether you in in DEV versus PROD, you just do a copy/assign from a variable with an XML fragment straight to the partnerlink. Looks weird, but it works (at least in 10.1.3):
+<assign name="asn_set_endpoint">+
+<copy>+
+<from variable="var_endPointAddress" query='/ns1:EndpointAddress"/>+
+<to partnerLink="myPartnerLinkName"/>+
+</copy>+
+</assign>+
+There's a good walkthrough at:+
+http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/bpel_cookbook/carey.html+
+They define a variable called partnerReference, and then show screen shots of how to assign it to the partnerlink (step 8).+
Good luck, Andy

Use of SOAP Receiver Adapter in a recursive way with dynamic Target URLs

Hi all,
I have a following scenario.
1. I have to call a webservice with a URL http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=index
This will return a list of xml filenames as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filelist>
<file uuid="test1" />
<file uuid="test2" />
<file uuid="test3" />
<file uuid="test4" />
</filelist>
2. Now I have to call the same webservice with a change in action so that the url looks like
URL - http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=fetch&uuid=
for all the filenames in the list
So in essence, I have to create a dynamic URLs recursively like
http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=fetch&uuid=test1
http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=fetch&uuid=test2 and so on
3. And with each call to the URL in step 2, the incoming xml is to be mapped to an IDoc.
I will be creating a ABAP proxy to initiate the calls.
I would like some ideas so as to have a less complex approach to the solution.

Neeraj

Hi,
dynamic SOAP URL - adapter specific properties (http receiver adapter)
Dynamic configuration payload - https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SPS15/pi/com/sap/aii/mapping/api/DynamicConfiguration.html
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get
(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","THeaderSOAPACTION");
String a = http://something.abcd/applicationName/xmlMessage //set the value of actual action here
conf.put(key, a);
return "";

SOAP adapter and dynamic target URL

My scenario: synchronous communication ABAP Proxy <=> XI <=> External WebServices.
There is a need to have configurable (dynamic) target URL for SOAP Adapter. This target should be configurable from ABAP Proxy. Any idea how can I achieve my goal?
Some additional notes why I need configurable target URL. I've multiple WebService instances which has identical interfaces and the only difference is target URL. I see no need to define for each webservice different SOAP Adapter. The other thing is that customer want to have configuration of destination (target) url on backend system (where ABAP Proxy is used).

Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/29/5bd93f130f9215e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
It's possible to set the URL for Soap dynamically.
To process adapter attributes in the message header of the XI message, set the Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes indicator and the Variable Transport Binding indicator.
You can evaluate the following attributes in the message header:
Description: You can set the entire URL.

Dynamic Image Url html view

Hi all,
I am currentyl trying to display an image, which can be accessed by a http-url refering to an external server.
The problem is, that that the displayed image is linked with the content...that means, that the image url has to be dynamic.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem. I am currently mapping an url to the url-input of the html-view, but by starting the application the following error occurs:
com.sap.tc.wd4vc.intapi.info.exception.WD4VCRuntimeException: No parser configuration entry for the tag HtmlView
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards, Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Are you still looking for the answer?
Did you try the expression editor of the image control, where based on expression (ie., your content), image will be displayed.
Are you storing the data (from where you pass the content to next UI component or next screen) in a data store; and taking the data store value in the expression editor of the image component?
Let me know if it helps

How to get Dynamic Converter URL

Hi all
I need to get dynamic converter url of document like http://<localhost>:<port>/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION&dID=7411.
I use DOC_INFO_BY_NAME and i can find document url using 'DocUrl'. But i cannot find anything about dynamic converter.
How can i get the url just using RIDC?
Best Regards
Qian

Hi ,
Whether i can get which format will be converted(convert format in Dynamic Converter Admin Configuration Setting) ?
This is applicable for the UI alone where in all the formats that you want to have "HTML" option shown will be added from the above option .
As for getting Dynamic Conversion using the IdcService , all of the contents can be used irrespective of whether they are added in the DC Admin section or not . So if you want to show the HTML format then all you need to do is to call the GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION service and pass the dID of the respective contents .
Thanks,
Srinath

Dynamic http query string

I had posted this question earlier in PI forum and it was suggested that I could use ABAP Webdynpro .
My requirement is to use execute a dynamic http query string and process the Output file that is returned. I would like to know if this would be feasible from ABAP web dynpro (we have ecc 6.0) ?

Hi,
can you tell what File Format you need to process,,,
As it is easy to call dynamic query-string using "OPEN_WINDOW "URL using Webdynpro ..

How to do Handshake with tired party(bank) HTTPS URL from SAP PI server

Dear Expert,
I have developed bunch of scenarios, all are synchronous ABAP proxy to HTTP_AAE with bank on PI 7.4(dual stack). Bank web server is HTTPS enabled server. Our ABAP developments are still in progress also we have few issue in connection from ECC to PI.but that is not the focus of discussion here.
we want to do the handshake to check the connectivity with bank on their HTTPS URL from PI. Bank has provided the privet key for SSL from their server and corresponding public key they have maintained on their server. I have imported the private key under NWA -> Certificates -> Key Storage -> TrustedCA->Import Entry->Entry Type->PKCS#12->select the SSL.p12 file->import , also I have selected the option to "Use SSL" in HTTP_AAE receiver communication channel and selected the corresponding entryin "keystore view" and "keystore entry". All these I have done in our DEV system, and we are trying to connect our PI dev to bank Dev server.
Questions
Is there any specific steps to do the handshake with third party HTTPS(bank in my case) server? if not, how can we just test the HTTPS connectivity by using the SSL private installed on our PI server, without running the complete scenarios. Our PI has been installed on UNIX, and "telnet https url 443" is working, as network team has opened the HTTPS port.
We have not enabled the SSL technically on our PI server, and we have not installed any generated certificate from our PI server. Moreover, we have not made our PI url as "https:hostname:port" as we just need to communicate with bank by using their private key. Do you guys think we should enable the SSL? if yes, please explain why.
What is the best practice to test the connection with third party having HTTPS URL? how can I just assure HTTPS communication is working fine, before testing my actual scenarios.
Thanks for helping always.
Regards,
Farhan

Hi Farhan,
Some part of the blog is applicable for sending HTTPS request to partners/third party (Receiver SOAP Adapter).
If banks certificates are already in trustedCA, then, can you check if it also imported under user PIISuser under Identity management in NWA. If above 2 steps are done then i think your are good to go. But be careful when you install certificate, it should be in proper order.
As you already mentioned, connectivity is already established and you are able to PIng/telnet from pi server, connectivity looks ok.
While sending request, if you are getting 401 unauthorized, below might be the reason -
1. Certificate not installed correctly or some missing steps
2. Partner or TP is not ready to receive it, some certificate issue in there side.
other than 401 means you are ok (As per certificate and Connectivity) - 403 and 500 errors are next stops.
403 - error because of encoding method.
500 - data issue.

Safari 5.0.5 (6533.21.1) - Lost ability to browse "https" urls, "http" fine

Bizarre occurrence in Safari for me that I was hoping someone may have come across before:
Tonight for some reason it will not accept any https url whatsoever - it produces the following error:
can't open the page <https://url> The error is: “The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1) Please choose Safari > Report Bugs to Apple, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message
I've not installed anything recently or made any config changes. All I do is stay up-to-date with the software updates from Apple.
I've tried moving the app to the Trash, rebooting and then re-installing but with no luck
I tried restoring a previous version of Safari (5.0.4) from early April Time Machine version but still had the same problem. Wondering if there are files outwith the Safari App that may be the cause and not the app itself.
I have checked that my firewall and content filtering allow access - (this is the unchanged config I mention above) - and they do and am accessing this discussion site (ironically https so Safari couldn't get to it after my initial Google search) from Firefox.
I've nothing against Firefox as a browser but I was happy enough with Safari and would like to keep using it.
In trawling the web I couldn't see anything that directly matched what I was experiencing.
If anyone has any hints or tips that might help I'd be really grateful.
Thanks

Problems with SAP BC to post a request to https URL

Hello,
in a integration scenario one of our partners wants to send a xml to our server via https. 
I tried this internal with a test business connector. I simple use the WmPublic.pub.client http service. 
I try to post a record to an https:// URL and get an error. It seems that there is some trouble with the ssl handshake. However it is working in the browser. 
The option Security -> Certificates -> Trusted Certificates -> CA Certificates Directory is 'unspecified'. Therefore no server certificate should be reject. 
 
Now I got an 'iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Peer sent alert: Alert Fatal: handshake failure 
' error. I do not find any helpful entries in this forum. Did anyone solve this issue? 
 
Thank you, 
Nils

Ok - in this case you need to include to session based SSL setup in your flow (scenario).
The pub.security:setKeyAndChain and pub.security:clearKeyAndChain services are used to control which client certificate
the SAP BC server presents to remote servers. You need to use these services to switch between certificates and
certificate chains if you are not using aliases for remote servers.
List of services to be used:
pub.security:clearKeyAndChain
-- Associates the default key and certificate chain with the subsequent set of invoked services.
pub.security:setKeyAndChain
-- Processes a digital signature to make sure that the provided data has not been modified. The signature input is the DER encoding of the PKCS#7 SignedData object.
pub.security.pkcs7:sign
-- Creates a PKCS7 SignedData object.
pub.security.pkcs7:verify
-- Processes a digital signature to make sure that the provided data has not been modified.
pub.security.util:createMessageDigest
-- Generates a message digest for a given message.
pub.security.util:getCertificateInfo
-- Retrieves information (e.g., serial number, issuer, expiration date) from a digital certificate.
pub.security.util:loadPKCS7CertChain
-- Converts a certificate chain that is in PKCS7 format to a list (a one-dimensional array) of byte arrays.
Example:
Invoke pub.client:http to send data to Company D.
Invoke pub.security:setKeyAndChain using the key and certificate chain for Company B.
Invoke pub.client:http to send data to Company B.
Invoke pub.security:setKeyAndChain using the key and certificate chain for Company C.
Invoke pub.client:http to send data to Company C.
Invoke pub.security:clearKeyAndChain to revert back to the default key and certificate chain for Company
Au2019s server.
Invoke pub.client:http to send data to Company D.

Hi Brian,
I have the same problem as Ajay Yeluguri. In http mode I can generate a download of an Excel document but when we use the portal in https it doesn't work.
When I try to download using https it does not pull the file name and path and when I choose download I have a error message : "Internet Explorer cannot download from ..."
I've test the point 3.2 "... including file up/download" of the BSP application IT00 and it works fine in http and https mode. My problem is not the upload but the download. And in this application the uploaded document is opened in the Internet Explorer window but I want to generate a Save as... window to download the file.
Have you an idea what i can do to solve my problem.
Thanks

Name of .crl and .crt file missing from HTTP URL in certificate details

Hello Everyone,
I am in the process of building a 2-tier Windows Server 2012 R2 PKI. The CA name of both the offline standalone root CA and enterprise subordinate CA have spaces in it (we'll call the CA name, 'Test Lab Root CA' for point of reference).
When I submitted the certificate request for the subordinate CA to the root CA and viewed the attributes/extensions of the pending request, I noticed the HTTP URL is missing the name of the .crt and .crl file.
The AIA extension reads URL=http://test.domainname.com/pki/.crt
in the issued certificate details.
The CDP extension reads URL=http://test.domainname.com/pki/.crl
in the issued certificate details.
The AIA and CDP location HTTP URLs are configured as http://test.domainname.com/pki/<CertificateName>.crt and http://test.domainname.com/pki/<CRLNameSuffix><DeltaCRLAllowed>.crl, respectively on the
root CA.
The LDAP URL shows the .crt and .crl file name (with %20 replacing the spaces) perfectly fine. The LDAP URL is configured using variables as well. It's just the HTTP URL that is missing the name of the file altogether.
I have read about the issue where spaces are not being replaced with %20 in the URL on Windows Server 2012 and a hotfix is available for that issue. But this issue seems to be slightly different and I'm running Windows Server 2012 R2. I tried installing
the hotfix to see if it would help, but the hotfix can't install because it doesn't apply to Server 2012 R2.
I've been trying to find a technet discussion or blog article for a week to see if anyone has seen this and what the fix is, but I'm coming up empty. I only find talks about %20 not replacing the space in the name.
Does anyone have any insight to my particular issue? I don't want to issue the subordinate CA certificate until I know the HTTP URL populates the CRL and CRT file name correctly. I can get around this by typing out the name of the file (with spaces and not
%20... e.g. http://test.domainname.com/pki/Test Lab Root CA.crl) in the URL via the registry and the URL displays the name of the file (with %20 in the name) when I do another certificate request and check the attributes/extensions in the
pending request. However, I prefer to avoid manually typing out the name of the file in the registry. I'd like to use the variables if at all possible.
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

If you run certutil -getreg ca\CRLPublicationURLs and certutil -getreg ca\CACertPublicationURLs, you will see that you do not have correct use of variables when compared to the settings that follow:

Just a clarification here, if you're running the above certutil commands at
the command prompt you only need single % characters in the command line.
The double % characters are only required if the commands are being run in
a batch file.

[CS3 JS SDK] Possible to Use HTTP URLs for Links?

I am attempting to use JavaScript to implement a connector from CS3 (InDesign/InCopy in my case) to our content management system. Our CMS provides an HTTP-based API. By using the HttpConnection object (from the Bridge code, see posts on "httpwebaccess library") I can access our repository using HTTP URLs and, for example, get an InDesign document or INX file (and the UI support in CS3 scripting makes it possible for me to build all the UI components I need without having to write a true plugin).
However, what I *can't* seem to do is create Link objects that use a URL, rather than a File, to access resources.
My goal is to be able to store in our repository InDesign documents that use URLs to other resources in the repository for links (e.g., to graphics and InCopy articles).
However, as far as I can tell from the scripting documentation and my own experiments, the URL property on Link is read-only in JavaScript (even though the scripting API HTML indicates it's a read/write property) and Link instances can only be constructed using File objects.
My question: have I missed some trick in the scripting API (or elsewhere) that would allow me to create links that use URLs instead of files (and having done so would InDesign resolve those URLs?)? Our repository does support WebDAV, so that might be an option, but it would depend on mounting WebDAV services in consistent places on client machines, which is dicey at best, given the weak nature of the WebDAV clients on both Windows and OS X).
Or are my only options to either copy linked resources to the client's local file system (or a shared network drive) or implement a plugin that implements my desired behavior for links?
And if the answer is a plugin, will that even work?
This is in the context of CS3. Has the Link mechanism changed at all in CS4 such that I could do what I want in CS4 where I cannot in CS3?
Thanks,
Eliot

Hi,
It is not possible to use HTTP URLS in CS3. You will have to create a plug-in to use Custom Data Links.
I think it is possible to use HTTP URLs in CS4 as per the User Guide.
