External Control in communication channel PI 7.1

Hi experts,
I would need to start and stop a communication channel from an external program, I have read in differents post that is possible via http call. But when I do the http call I get a permissions error. What permissions o roles I need in my user to do this http call?
Is necessary configurate anything? My PI version is 7.1.1.
Thanks in advance
Jose Manuel

A user needs the following role to query the status of communication channels:
● xi_af_channel_admin_display
A user needs the following role to start or stop communication channels:
● xi_af_channel_admin_modify

Reg:To control the communication channel actions externally

Dear All,
My scenario is File to File. Can anyone suggest me how to start and stop a communication channel without using communication channel monitoring in RWB and ATP in component monitoring,since there is no time frame has been set.
Thanks in Advance,
Lavanya .B

Hi,
Try this ... just a sample, modify as per your requirement.
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
class ExternalChannelControlPI
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try
               //Give Host Name, Port and Channel Name
               URL server = new URL("http://<Host:port>/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=*&service=*&channel=" + <ChannelName> + "&action=start");
               //Hard code User Name & Password
               String userPassword = "<USERNAME>" + ":" + "<PASSWORD>";
               URLConnection uc=server.openConnection();
               uc.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic ");
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
               String inputLine = "";
               String output = "";
                while (( inputLine = br.readLine()) != null)
                    output+=inputLine;
                       System.out.print(output);
               br.close();
          catch (Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();

External Control of ABAP stack adapter/channels possible?

Hi Experts,
Can we Control ABAP based adapters/channel also (e.g IDOC communication channel) using the external control with HTTP GET and POST?
AFAIK we can control the J2EE adapter/communication channels by switching the external control on in RWB.
Is there a way to enable external control of IDOC channel ?
Best Regards,
Srinivas

AFAIK you can't externally control the adapters on ABAP stack. Anyone else, any suggestions?

Communication channel Availability

Hi All,
I am having a File to File scenario wherein there is no mapping involved.You can say as good as using a FTP.I am using XI in this scenario purely because of client requirement.
Problem Statement :
I need to pick up the source file from a particular folder and send it to target folder at a paticular time say 8:00 am daily.
Steps taken:
To take in this requirement, I have configured the Sender communication channel (Type File) availability to 8:00am - 8:15am daily.This was done by going to RWB>CC Monitoring>Control data(Automatic)
   Settings :
   Details Tab:
   1)Description: Just any characters here
   2)Active: Checked
   3)Availability Time - Daily
         At (Time):8.00    For (Duration): 15      Minutes
         Series Start: Start Date        Series End:     End Date
         Availability Times From : -same as above-
   Communication channel Tab:
   Communication Channel:<Sender Communication channel Name>
All above config is saved.
Problem encountered:
Now when I do the above steps, XI does take not only the file from source for 8-8:15 duration but also outside it. So file which comes in source folder after 8:15 am say at 9:00 is also picked up by XI, which ideally should not be the case.
My Query :
Am I going wrong somewhere while configuring the availability of Comm channel?
Regards,
Shiben

Hi Shiben,
Could you please check the Control Data state of Communication channel, it should be Automatically (not Manually)
●      Manual
You control the communication channel by choosing Start or Stop.
●      Automatic
The communication channel is controlled by availability times.
●      External
The communication channel is controlled by an HTTP request.

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 ?

REG: Communication Channel

Hi All,
Can we externally control the communication channnels ie( to active and inactive the channels externally without using runtime workbench or going to the configuration part).If yes please provide the details about it?
Thanks,
Siva

Yes you need required privileges for that /particular role for that
you can control that using the http://host:port/AdapterFramework/ChannelServlet?party=&service=&channel=&action=stop
before that you need to set ExternalControl on for your cc

All Communication Channels stopped or startet when restart of the SAP-PI

is there any way to control the Communication Channels (to be startet or to be stopped during the next SAP-PI system start) while the SAP-PI is not running.
for a special data migration reason, we have stopped all Communication Channels except one Comm.channel.
after finishing the migration and for a backup, we shut down the SAP-PI system.
for the next SAP-PI system start, all of the Communication Channels should be run again.
is there any way to control (to be startet again for the next SAP-PI system start) the Communication Channels while the SAP-PI system is already shut down
or is the only possible way to start the SAP-PI system, and then manually start the needed Communication Channels.

Hi,
If you bring PI server down then all the channels will automatically stop and you can not control these channels when the server is down.You can again start these channels when the server is up and running.....

Communication channel control

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement of stopping all the communication channels and reverting back to their previous state. i.e if the channel is in start mode it should go back to start mode. If it is in automatic control mode it should revert back to it. Is there any option to handle this in a program. The limitation we found is that only if the external control is on it can be controlled programmatically and can be started and stopped. But we cannot revert back to its previous state. Is there any other option to implement this requirement.
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Komal Patange.

Hi Komal,
there is the limitation that externally you can only start/stop and getstatus of the channels, but you cannot modify the 'control mode' externally (only manually in the channel monitor). sorry...

Laszlo

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.

Right now I use with this link to start the CC

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.
Elad

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.
