Enabling SSL for HTTP Sender Adapter

Hi Experts,
I'd like to have a step by step process in enabling HTTPS for Plain_HTTP Sender Adapter. I've already read the enabling HTTPS on SAP Help, but it does not provide much detail. Would the steps be the same for enabling HTTPS for Plain_HTTP Receiver which are:
1. Install the certificates using STRUST
2. Configure an RFC Destination using SM59
3. Call your RFC Destination in Receiver HTTP Adapter (not valid for http sender adapter)
The connection for setting up http is http://<hostname>:port/<path>?<query string>
but what about https? Would it be connecting to the webdispatcher first?
Hope you can help me,
Regards,

Hi,
as HTTP Adapter is on ABAB stack you will need to configure with STRUST.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/ef2940cbf2195de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
The URL should start then with https, but you could test with this sample client:

QueueId for HTTP Sender Adapter.

Hi All:
I modified the HTTP client and sending QoS = EOIO and queueid=test_queue. But I am getting an Error :
Result:
<SAP:Error><SAP:Category>XIServer</SAP:Category><SAP:Code>INTERNAL.ATTRIBUTE_INITIAL</SAP:Code><SAP:P1>QUEUE_NAME</SAP:P1><SAP:Stack>Attribute QUEUE_NAME is initial</SAP:Stack></SAP:Error>
Can any one tell me what is the cause of this Error
Thanks

Hi, Michal
I have read your Weblog. It makes sense to me. Thanks a lot for your help! However, I still have some questions and listed them as following. Could you please help to answer them?
Q1: I am new to SAP-XI. So I have no idea about TCODE-SXMB_ADM. Could you introduce more details about it?
Q2: The XI system I am using is running on SAP-ICC's machine. The tools I can use are:
1.Builder for Integration Repository
2.Builder for Integration Configuration
3.System Landscape Directory
4.Runtime Workbench
5.Administration System (for Repository, Directory, Runtime)
Please note that I do not have a complete control on this SAP-XI. Do you think whether or not I can set the timeout parameter by following the instructions provided in your Weblog?
For more details about my SAP-XI, please access the following Web page:
http://iccxi.sap.com:58000/rep/support/admin/index.html
Q3: The following messages are extracted from the SAP-XI. Wish they are hepful to solving my problem.

Why we r not Creating Sender Agreement For HTTP & IDOc Adapter at Sender .

Hi Buddy's,
Why we r not Creating Sender Agreement For HTTP & IDOc Adapter at Sender .And why we create receiver agreements at receiver side bt not sender agreement at sender side.
Wat Is GLOBAL Container ?, where it will Occur & wat is the functionality of that.

Kumar,
1) XI integrattion server - IS expects the messages in XML format. If you see the HTTP request you will see that we pass all the info contained in the Sender areement in the the HTTP request itself , namely - Message interface, message type and the namespace (along with login parameters). For IDOCs the the IDOC- XML are are sent to the IS (through IDOC port configuration at the source system.
2) When send a message to XI the sender knows that XI system parameters, but when at the reciver end there could be any any system that is reciving the IDOc/HTTTp message. you specify those message through a commumication channel and this channel is associated to a receiver agreement.
3) A Global container is like a place holder for variables. You can set a variable here and access it throughout your mapping and hence the name.
A good example for a gloabal container is a counter to countthe number of records in te target side.

Enabling SSL for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10.1.3.1 is Failing!!!

Hi All,
I have followed the steps described in
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01//core.1013/b28940/em_app.htm#BABCEEAH.
However when I am trying to start the application server using 'opmnctl startall' the server is not starting and some timeout is getting generated in the log file.
Is it that enabling SSL will only make the EM console secured? Then how to enable SSL for other soa components like - BPEL,ESB,OWSM? Are there any documentations available?
Also please let me know how can I enable SSL for Oracle Application server console?
Please any advice will be appreciated. I am in the middle of a project delivery.
Thanks

HTTPs sender adapter to pick file from a external HTTP file location

HI gurus
Please see the problem here. I need know hoe to configure the Sender HTTP adapter.
My Scenario-
A Flat file (non-xml but structured) sitting on an external https enabled web server. I need XI to go out and get this file on a regular basis (which will then be processed laterby the business person)
Thanks

Hi,
The FTP Adapter will do the job for you. Just create a File Communication Channel and change Transport Protocol to FTP. Since you mentioned that the file is non-xml, in the Message Protocol, choose, File Content Conversion.

Need help to Configure FTPS connection for File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I want to Configure, FTPS connection (Secured Connection) for File Sender Adapter. Could anyone please guide me, what Information I require to configure. I just want to know what Information should I request the team inorder the configure FTPS so that it can be deployed properly.
I have checked with [SAP Help Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm] and while configuring the communication channel found that I need Keystore and the X.509 Certificate and Private Key. which needs to be deployed on the J2EE server by using the Visual Administrator.
Is there anything else, I need to configure.
Any help would be appreciated in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Varun.K

The basic things are Certificate/Keys which you already know. Usually it is enough for running a sceanrio.
However, if you have additional requirements, like FTPS for "Connection Security" for encryption, then you may need additional details like commands. Rest all settings are same as FTP.

Dynamic URL for HTTP receiver adapter

Hi all,
when the XI send the http request to the target system, the format maybe like this:
header + body the body is including: Prolog, payload and Epilog
here is about the target system have a 'input' parameter(maybe string type)
is it possible to pass the 'head + body' these value(or maybe the whole http request message) into input
i mean is it possible to set the dynamic URL for http receiver adapter like this:
http://host:port/path?input=<the header and body>
i have searched the blog Dynamic Configuration of Some Communication Channel Parameters using Message Mapping
Link:[/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping]
and the similar threads in the forum
please give me some advice
thanks in advance

When a HTTP server requests the whole message as URL parameters, then I assume that the server also requests an HTTP GET, which is not supported by XI.
Could you check this?
Regards
Stefan

How to configure the Http sender adapter

Now i have look through the sap lib about the http sender adapter
and i know the url is
http://hostname:port/path?namespace=<...>
&interface=<...>&service=<...>&cmd=T&loaderXML=< message object >&end=yes
My questions are:
1)the path in the URL is "/sap/xi/adapter_plain", if not, what is it?
2)the message payload is right?
any reply is appreciated
Thank you very much

Hi Leo,
For a HHTP Scenario:
DESIGN:
1. Create DataTypes for source and Destinations. Create elements for all the text fields of your HTTP Client so that they can all be mapped into the destination file
2. Create MessageTypes for the two datatypes.
3. Create Message Interfaces. The One for HTTP is the sender, Asynchronous ( as no response is expected) and one for File is receiver, asynchronous.
4. Do the mapping. It will be mostly a one to one mapping of the fields.
5. Create the Interface Mapping.
Configuration:
1. Import your Business System under your Configuration Scenario.
2. Create 2 communication channels. One for Http as a sender and one for your receiver say IDoc.
Check these links for the configuration part.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/64db4daf9f30b4e10000000a11466f/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/79973cc73af456e10000000a114084/content.htm
3. Do the Receiver Agreement for Idoc. HTTP doesnt need a sender agreement.
4. DO the Receiver Determination and Interface Determination.
Weblog which talk about the same scenario:-
/people/sriram.vasudevan3/blog/2005/01/11/demonstrating-use-of-synchronous-asynchronous-bridge-to-integrate-synchronous-and-asynchronous-systems-using-ccbpm-in-sap-xi - although this weblog is
aimed at explaining the sync-async bridge.. Sriram has taken http-to-file scenario as the example
(use case) and explained it...
Check this SDN tv demo, it has detail of HTTP adapter setup.
https://media.sdn.sap.com/SDNTV/main.asp?mediaId=107
Refer to this link for adapter settings.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0d/5ab43b274a960de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
You should also have a HTTP client to send message to XI. In the connecting parameters to XI u have to use the URL in the pattern mentioned . U have to give all the configuration details in the URL.
If you give me your mail id or if you can mail me at [email protected], i can send you a HTTP CLIENT.....In which you need to view the source code and change the username and password to send message to XI.

How to use the http sender adapter

Hi,
I'm trying to use the http sender adapter but not getting the result.
1) I've created the commnunication channel in Integration Directory.
2) I have my url:
http://<server>:56000/sap/xi/adapter_plain?service=BS&namespace=urn%3Acompany%3Apoc&interface=interface
3) When i copy that url in a browser i get a login prompt. When i log in i get a message that navigation is cancelled.
What steps do i need to do to use this url to send my xml message to the adapter engine. Do i need a special system user for this? Any other tools required? (i have httpclient but using that doesnt send messages to the adapter_plain; i think)
I feel i'm just missing one little thing, but what is it.
kr
Robert

Hello Team,
I added the user name & pwd to query string & trying to access from IE and still getting blank page.
Is this what is expected or there is something wrong in URL. I am able to send the XML from HTTP Test tool.
My URL is :
http://abc:50000/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=urn:xyz.com:A_To_ERP_Payment_balance_Request&interface=SI_A_CHK_balance_OUT&service=BC_XX_XXX&sap-user=myuser&sap-password=mypassword&sap-client=001&sap-language=EN
Please advice.

HTTP sender adapter and receiver adapter

Hi guys,
I have a scenario that I have to communicate with an HTTP server with XML over HTTP.
When the communication is opened by me I will use an HTTP receiver adapter and give the connection parameters.
a) Do I have to use a different HTTP receiver communication channel for each different type of XML that I want to send??
b) When the communication is opened from the HTTP server, they have to type the URL in order to invoke the correct scenario on my side, right? I know that I do not have to use an HTTP sender adapter. They have to call the http URL, followed by the sender business system, sender interface name/namespace etc.
That means that the URL in the format: http://XIhostname:port/ is not enough right?
Is there a way to figure out from the type of the XML sent which scenario will be executed in XI?
Because it is difficult for them to use different URL when they are sending me different type of XML's, i.e. different requests.
Evaggelos

>>Do I have to use a different HTTP receiver communication channel for each different type of XML that I want to send??
Yes,receiver adapter is linked to receiver agreement,if you have different inbound interfaces then it means you need to have diferrent receiver agreement,hence different receiver communication channels.
>>That means that the URL in the format: http://XIhostname:port/ is not enough right?
No,its not,there is a test tool on SDN called "HTTP test tool".just search for that and download on your desktop,it will help you generate the correct URL as well as test the scenario by sending sample HTTP request.
One thing you need to keep in mind is that HTTP scenarios don't require and sender communication channel or sender agreement.they only need configurations on receiver side
Thanx
Aamir

Http sender adapter: QoS is interpreted as Best Effort by PI 7.11

Hi
I have a scenario, where I receive an xml OrderResponse via an http sender adapter and I then map it to an iDoc which is sent to the backend system.
BUT: for some reason, PI thinks, that the Quality of Service is BE, and I get the error "Only asynchronous processing supported for IDoc adapter outbound processg".
I have checked both the http sender adapter, the sender agreement, the interface mapping, the service interface and the operation mapping and nowhere can I see, that best effort is selected.
The OrderResponse is sent from an external partner and is routed through a load balancer and an SAP web dispatcher before arriving to PI.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
MIkael Lund

The external partner is sending the OrderResponse to this URL (external URL):
https://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.dk/sap/xi/adapter_plain?service=LM&namespace=http://xxxxxxxx.dk/XCBL/OrderResponse&interface=xCBLOrderResponse35Out
this URL is being translated to an internal URL:
https://yyyyyyy.yyyyyyy.dk/sap/xi/adapter_plain?service=LM&namespace=http://xxxxxxxx.dk/XCBL/OrderResponse&interface=xCBLOrderResponse35Out
So how should the external and/or internal URL be altered?
Thanks for a very quick answer by the way

HTTP Sender Adapter parameters

Hi,
I'm doing the HTTP to IDoc Scenario.
Receiving side is SAP ECC through receiver IDoc.
Third party system, they are asking to give the URL, so that they will include that URL in their program & it will post to SAP.
Can anybody guide me on this.. what parameters i've to get from the third party and what preparations i've to do in XI & ECC 6.0, so that i can give proper inputs to them.
And if sender CC is HTTP, any receiving IDoc CC configuration is required? Pls let me know the steps hw to proceed on this.
Thanks in Advance.
rgds,
balu

HI
Sender HTTP
You need to have a sap user for the third party in PI to post content on HTTP sender adapter channel
URL that you need to give to third party vendor
http://<hostname:port>/<path>?namespace=<namespace>&interface=<interface>&service=<service>(optional) &party=<party>(optional) &agency=<agency>(optional) &scheme=<scheme>(optional) &qos=<EO|BE|EOIO>
Receiver IDOC
Create RFC destination in SM59 for R3 system.and port in IDX1 for R3 system
IDX2 Improt IDOC metadata.
Thanks

HTTP Sender Adapter Response

Hi there,
Can I send a status code back to the sender of the HTTP request in case of a HTTP Sender Adapter ?
We need to send a response immediately to the Sender Application. The interface however is an asynchronous interface and a response with XI is only perhaps possible with BPM which would be rather complex for a small response code to be sent back ! Is there any possibility that some response is sent as soon as I receive a request on the SICF service ?
Amair

Hi Amair,
As Bhavesh suggested i also dont see a way you can do this unless by making the interface Synchronous. If you do so then it becomes so simple and u will not require any work arounds.
