HTTP adapter post prolog question.

Hi all,
I have a scenario where I need to send an XML message through the HTTP adapter (no SOAP) to an external service. THE HTTP Service requires a user password as parameters to be passed in order to process the message. Since HTTP adapters is doing only POST I used the prolog in order to pass these parameters (&user=xxx&password=XXXX) but i get a 401 error. In order to test I created a static HTML form with hidden inputs the user and password variable and did a POST (using iexplorer) and it worked!!! Am I doing something wrong?? Isn't the prolog filed in the adapter suppose to do the same ?? i.e. post two variable user, and password??? How does the prolog field worked? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply,
actually the problem was on the Content-Type. The default text/xml was the problem since the application was expecting a application/www-form-ulencode (or something like this, i don't remeber). Now it works!!!

PI 7.1 HTTP Adapter - overwritte Prolog dynamically

I use a HTTP Adapter to send XML Data via HTTP as form field. Therefore i use the prolog constant. Example: xmlfile=.... Now i need two new parameter (user and password) as post parameters. I can change to prolog like user=...&password=....&xmlfile=.. But in this case the prolog with the user is hard coded. in my scenaria the user and password should dynamically load from Message Mapping. The solution with the dynamic URL Parameter 1-6 could not be used, because this values are GET Parameters which are visible in der URI!
Is there a solution for post parameters dynamically via HTTP Adapter?

The operation mapping aka Interface mapping's need not only use 1 single mapping.
In the interface mapping you can add multiple message mappings and / or other mapping programs.
The mappings get executed sequentially and the output of first mapping is input to second mapping and so on.
In this case, write a java mapping that will take the input as the output of your graphical mapping; add the prolog to this and make it the output of your Java Mapping and this is the final output of your Operation mapping!

HTTP Adapter POST

Hi Can anybody point me on How to configure HTTP receiver adapter. I have gone through SAP help library on XI and configuring HTTP receiver adapter topics but what I am looking for is specific weblog on HTTP receiver Adapter configuration as I have a scenario where I need to read a file and send the payload of XI message to url using POST.
Thanks.
-Adrean.

for a synchronous scenario,you can either use BPM or you need modules,here is a blog on File to RFC using BPM
/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit
your will be pretty much the same,only difference is that you will have HTTP instead of RFC.
to use modules,have a look at the following
File - RFC - File without a BPM - Possible from SP 19.
for async scenario you dont need any BPM,do the following for async File to RFC
create DT,MT,MI(outbound async) for sender file
Import the RFC to be used as the receiver
create MI(inbound async) for RFC(as its async,u need MI ,else for sycn RFC no need of MI).
create MM between File and RFC request
create IM
Create sender CC,receiver CC,sender agreement,receiver agreement,interface det and receiver det.
n ur done
thanx

HTTP/S POST from J2SE adapter engine (NO SOAP)

Hi there,
We have a scenario at work where we have XI sending messages to the "lightweight" J2SE adapter engine in the DMZ....and from there the message is sent out to an HTTPS site that is obvioulsy outside of our network.
Currently I can see that the J2SE adapter engine support SOAP over HTTP/S......but how can I do a normal POST of the message NOT using SOAP to an external HTTP/S address?
I do not see any straight HTTP adapter in the J2SE adapter engine. I have a small java file that can connect and POST the message to the external website.
My question is how can I use this code easily in the J2SE adapter engine? I just want a simple HTTP
POST ...no SOAP.....
Is there some sort of EXIT or dispatcher that I can hook onto?
Any help or push in the right direction will be greatly appreciated
Regards
Lynton

Hi there,
You can see in the config file below that we did put it into the adapter config. It does not complain about the parameter BUT it still has the SOAP envelope / headers in the result message. Any ideas how we can get around this?
Thanks for the help

Http adapter question

This may be a very stupid question but, I have set up a http adapter but i am unsure of the syntax used to post the data to it via a URL. Each different way, i keep getting a Bad Syntax status. If I post the address of the TransportServerlet in a browser, I do get the settings displayed, but I just can't send data to it.

Hi,
I may not be able to reply to your question, cause actually i have a question for you. How did you use the HTTP adapter.Cause in Jdeveloper i dont find the adpter in the services list. So please tell me how did you get the HTTP adpater.Did you install it explicitly?

HTTP Post in HTTP adapter

Hi,
We are developing one interface in which sender Torex system sends message in "HTTP Post" format.
In this sender application wants the url in following format.
http://server:port/sap/xi/adapter_plain?service=<xxx>&namespace=<xxx>&interface=<xxx>&sap-user=<xxx>&sap-password=<xxx>&qos=BE&ProductID=000000000000000216&uid=500014&deviceID=0725&StoreID=0004
In above "HTTP Post" format data has been sent in url without body of message.
I know the option in below blog.
https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/13639
But is there any other solution for this?
xml payload for above message is as below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:interface xmlns:ns0="namespace">
   <ProductID>000000000000000216</ProductID>
   <UID/>
   <DeviceID/>
   <StoreID>0004</StoreID>
</ns0:ExternalStockLocator_Retail_REQ>

In above "HTTP Post" format data has been sent in url without body of message.
Please remember that when creating a sender/receiver using the Plain HTTP Adapter, the following are automatically filled out
Transport Protocol: HTTP 1.0, Message Protocol: XI Payload in HTTP Body. The transport protocol means that only HTTP 1.0 is supported and that for it to work, an HTTP Body is required.

Plain HTTP Adapter - How to add CR/LF into Prolog?

Hi all!
I have to do a multipart/formdata request to an external HTTP Server. This requires to set boundaries etc. AND
to add Carriage Returns / Line Feeds into the HTTP-Body.
I think I could solve the problem using the Prolog / Epilog functionality of the HTTP Plain adapter - the only
thing that is missing now is <b>how to add Carriage Returns / Line Feeds into the Prolog / Epilog Field</b> within the communication channel configuration. It seems
that there is no "escaping possibility" - the HTTP Adapter writes the prolog "as it is entered" into the htto-Body of the request.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance,
Andy

I recommend using Java Mapping.

HTTP ADAPTER Get or Post XI

Hi, anyone knows how can i get or post a file with http adapter in XI, in a simple view you can't do it directly in the configuration in the communication channel, but i think it has to be a way to do that, at least Business connector have this hability, and this is an older tool of SAP.
I hope anyone can help me.

Marco Salazar

Hi all, thanks, for the answers, but the issue is not about the client, i need to know, how can i put or get a file from url directory, and processing in PI, then deliver to other system.

HTTP adapter as receiver to POST name-value pairs - How to?

Hi,
Scenario: HTTP Sender <> XI <> HTTP receiver (Sync throughout; no BPM)
In this scenario, a HTTP channel is configured to the target URL to post data.
The message mapping results in a XML. HTTP posts the same XML to the target URL.
However,the target URL expects data Posted as name-value pairs.
eg. eid=45678&zip=11011&ename=Tom%20Lee
How can we configure HTTP adapter channel to post XML data as
name-value pairs (as in standard HTTP Form Post)?
Any pointers?
thanx,
Pops

Hi Udo,
I currently have a solution (simpler than having a BP), but do not expect it to be the right way of doing.
I am using Java Mapping to convert the XML structure into Name-Value pair. So the output of Mapping is a string like how HTTP post is expected. So the interface mapping having multiple mappings - firstly, the original Message mapping, and then the Java mapping to do the conversion. So, with a small extension, the solution is still kept simple.
However, I thought the POST requirement to HTTP URLs would be a common requirement, and expected the HTTP adapter doing this conversion. So, I am still looking for a straight solution (without any custom extensions).
Any one else faced this situation?
Can't this be handled by HTTP Adapter?

Want to send information in Header dynamically using HTTP adapter using post method

Hi ,
I have a requirement to send below information in http Adapter header dynamically using post method. which will be authenticated by third party system.
Authorization : WSSE realm="SDP", profile="UsernameToken", type="AppKey" X-WSSE : UsernameToken Username="XXXX", PasswordDigest="Qd0QnQn0eaAHpOiuk/0QhV+Bzdc=", Nonce="eUZZZXpSczFycXJCNVhCWU1mS3ZScldOYg==", Created="2013-09-05T02:12:21Z"
I have followed below link to create UDF
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3241568
As if now my third party system is not available while sending request I am getting 504 gateway error. is there any approach I can validate my request is working fine?
Regards,

Hi Abhay,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think WSSE requires a SOAP Envelope. If that is the case, there are two approaches: the first one is to use SOAP Axis and the second one is just to build SOAP Envelope via Java mapping.
You also need to test it successfully externally, capture the request and replicate it in XI.
Hope this helps,
Mark

How to config receiver http adapter for HTTP POST without XML tags ??

Hi All,
Can you please provide some infornation on How to config receiver http adapter for HTTP POST (Request) without XML tags ?? Our receiving product doesn't support XML formats.
Is there any option to bypass server authentication on the XI?
If anybody has the same experience or know how to please provide inputs.
Thanx

Hi,
you can use xsl mapping for this in which u xtract
the contents only but not the xml tag.

XI http-adapter; http-post test tool?

Hi All
We have following scenario: system A sends data to R/3 through XI, XI's inbound adapter is type http (Syst A -> XI 3.0 -> R/3).
Now we need to test the XI's inbound http-adpater.
Does anyone have some experience with a tool that can send xml-document to XI using http-post or HTML code for this?
Many Thanks,
Sami

Hi Sami,
Make sure you have activated the plain http adapter.
1.Edit the HTML code below to change the Hostnames (Radio buttons)/Port numbers to suit your needs.
2.On selection of radio button you will get the hostname and portnumber populated automatically.
3.supply the values for sender business system, sender interface and sender namespace and QoS.
4.Copy and paste the XML in the text area.(make sure you delete the detault tab spaces in the text area) or you can select the file from the file system.
5.Click Send XML button

Http-adapter: Convert html-post to JAVA-post?

Hello everybody,
unfortunately I am not a java programmer. But I am testing the http adapter.
Is it possible to convert the following html-post into JAVA code?
<html><head>
<body>
<form action="http://myserver" method="post">
<p>Interface Namespace<br>
<input name="namespace" value="http://mum.mappings" size="40"></p>
<p>(Sender-) Service:<br>
<input name="service" value="MUMHTTP" size="40"></p>
<p>Interface Name:<br>
<input name="interface" value="MI_Merge_1" size="40"></p>
<p>Text:<br>
<textarea name="Text" rows="5" cols="50"></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send"></p>
</form>
</form>
</body>
</head>
</html>
For me it is important to send the values of the <input> values.
How has the code look like?
Many regards, mario

Accessing Java webservice (XML over http) via WCF or HTTP adapter with content-type and authorization HTTP headers with POST method

Hi Team,
I need to access Java web service which is simple service and accepts and returns XML over HTTP. No credentials are needed to access the service. We need to pass following two HTTP headers (Content-Type and Authorization) along with XML request message:
<GetStatus> message is being constructed in the orchestration and URI is constant to access.
Which adapter shall I use to get the response back? I tried using WCF-WSHttp with Security Mode = Transport, and different options of client credential types but every time, error returned stating:
System.Net.WebException:
The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Basic'. The
authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm='.
Authentication failed for principal Basic. Message payload is of type:
String
In Fiddler, request looks line following
POST <https://URL/GetServiceReopnse HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Authorization: Basic cmVmU3RhdHN2Y19kgeRfsdfs=
Host: <Server name>
<GetStatus XMLNS="http://server.com/.....">
<OrgId>232323</OrgId>
<HubId>3232342323</HubId>
</GetStatus>
MMK-007

First, you should not use the HTTP Adapter because it's been deprecated and replaced by WCF.
Start with the WCF-Custom Adapter and select the customBinding.
You should start with the textMessageEncoder and httpTransport and go from there.
