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>
Thanks

Hello,
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.
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.
Hope this helps,

Mail changes HTTP POST to HTTP GET in HTML attachments?

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using an encrypted e-mail system from Voltage Security (www.voltage.com) and my co-workers swear it used to work on the iPhone prior to iPhone 2.0 firmware.
The way the system works is that it sends encrypted content as an HTML attachment. The recipient opens the attachment, clicks the button, and the browser will then POST the encrypted content back to the server so that the server can decrypt it and display it as output back to the browser.
The problem is that the iPhone mail application appears to be mangling the attachment and changing the SUBMIT type on the HTML FORM from POST to GET. This totally breaks the system since the server is not expecting a GET and of course, it doesn't have the information necessary.
There doesn't appear to be a setting to disable this behavior. Is anyone aware of a work-around to prevent Mail on the iPhone from mangling the attachments in this way? Mail on OS X does not behave the same way. The attachment is left in tact on OS X and properly POSTs through the browser (at least when using Firefox as the default browser).

Yes, but it does not work.

HTTP POST binding not available in 11g???

Hi,
I am trying to call a HTTP service using HTTP POST, passing HTTP params to it. I created a small bpel process in 10.1.3.4, and used the HTTP POST samples, which worked out really well.
However target platform is 11g. So I just tried to migrate the project and got the following warnings.
WARNUNG: UPGBPEL-02043: The WSDL used for "HTTPPostParam" has HTTP based binding definition for the porttype specified. SOA Suite 11g does not support this and hence upgrade will not carry this over to the generated composite. Compilation will fail if the composite reference is not setup with binding. After upgrade, setup the reference by specifying a WSDL with SOAP binding. Check SOA Upgrade guide for more information.
WARNUNG: UPGBPEL-02009: No Binding setup for : "HTTPPostParam". This will cause compilation of the upgraded project to fail. Check SOA Upgrade documentation on manual steps necessary to bind this composite reference. If necessary, upgrade and deploy any dependencies. If planning to retain 1013x nodes in this projects dependency tree, check earlier part of this log for 1013x WSDL URLs that can be used.
Does this really tell me that HTTP post or get is not available anymore? Or do I miss anything? Or is there a workaround?
Thanks and regards,
Thomas

The sample that heidi posted above is basically the codebase to the http binding we are planning to ship with Patchset 2. It's based on Jax-WS' http binding.
Let me know if you run into any issues (the source is included - so you can play around :) - no license )

Connect by HTTP-Post

Hi,
am i correct if i think that it is not possible to connect to rwservlet via http-post, only http-get.
And that is the reason i get REP-56048 when i try it?
Thanks.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
thanks for this suggestion. It put my on the right way, because i examined the http-request, sended by the form with paramform=yes.
In my case a report is called with paramters which executes a sql-query on a database.
For this a key is configured in cgicmd, that holds the DB-connection data and takes the other parameters from the url-parameters.
Calling a report per HTTP-Post that doesnt need a database connection was easy, since it didnt need to use the cgicmd-key.
But calling the cgicmd-key didnt work.
The report enginge crashed:
[2012/6/12 11:1:58:807] Exception 50125 (org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 208 completed: Maybe
at com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.IIOPConnection.purge_calls(IIOPConnection.java:438)
at com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.ReaderThread.run(ReaderThread.java:70)
): Interner Fehler org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 208 completed: Maybe
[2012/6/12 11:1:58:807] Info 56029 (EngineManager:shutdownEngine): Shutting down engine rwEng-0
It turns out that for HTTP-Post not the same URL as for HTTP-GET can be used.
In contrary to GET in case of POST the cgi-cmdkey must be passed in the additional paramter "hidden_run_parameters" to make the HTTP-POST to the cgicmd-key work:
hidden_run_parameters=your_cgicmdkey
It is not needed as the "first paramter" in the URL anymore. Perhaps that is due the fact, that there is no specific order on post parameters (is this true?, sounds correct ;-)
However, i still have the feeling that this is a kind of undocumented hack, as since now, i didnt find any documentation on this.
Has anyone had any expirences with this?

Starting workflow with HTTP-Post

Hello,
like I wrote in Starting workflow with HTTP-Post I have a problem with starting a workflow with a http-post:
I have an installation of SAP ERP 2005 SR2 IDES on Win2003 SR2 SP2 and want to start a simple workflow with an external application. Therefor I created an elementary test-workflow and set the general task flag so everybody is allowed to start it. So far everything work fine as I start it manually.
Now I want to start the workflow by an external application over a HTTP-Post as described in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/content.htm
I configured the webserver (Customizing Web-Server) as follows:
Service: WebFlow (Intranet)
Address: http://192.168.0.216:8000/
Path: SAP/BC/WORKFLOW_XML/?
and sent a post via perl to http://192.168.0.216:8000/SAP/BC/WORKFLOW_XML/?protocol=01&localkey=WS99900004

but it seems that nothing happens.
I also tried to post the XML via html-form-field with the same result.
Did I forgot something essential?

Hello Daniel
It's 6 years after you posted your question, but I found your post very useful and thought it would be worth updating for future reference.
I've just managed to trigger a workflow via http.
URL :
http://server.domain:8000/sap/bc/workflow_xml?sap-client=110
Java :
URL obj = new URL(url);
URLConnection con = (URLConnection) obj.openConnection();
String userpass = "username:password";
String basicAuth = "Basic " + javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(userpass.getBytes());
con.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", basicAuth);
con.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "text/xml");
con.setDoOutput(true);
DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream());
wr.write( xml.getBytes("UTF-8") );
wr.flush();
wr.close();
You can then read the response.
I found that until I added the sap_client parameter I couldn't debug in CL_HTTP_WORKFLOW_XML->IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST. Then I found that the content type has to be "text/xml".
I set the xml variable (the data sent to ECC) to :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<WfMessage Version="SAP.1.0" xmlns="http://www.wfmc.org/standards/doc/WF-XML">
<WfMessageHeader>

HTTP Post WSDL in J2EE/HOME ?

A customer created a BPEL process which has a partner-link defined for a WSDL located in the same directory as the project's bpel.xml file. The partner-link is to perform a http post using http binding. (basically the WSDL points to a deployed Servlet)
When the process is initiated via the BPEL Console an error in the domain.log occurs stating that the WSDL cannot be found in j2ee/home.
The customer can use "wsdlLocation" and "wsdlRuntimeLocation" in bpel.xml, to work past the error but why are we searching for the WSDL in j2ee/home ?
The error:
<summary>Failed to read wsdl. Error happened when reading wsdl at
"HTTPPostService.wsdl", because "WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Error
reading file at: file:/D:/AS/ORA10122MID/j2ee/home/HTTPPostService.wsdl:
D:\AS\ORA10122MID\j2ee\home\HTTPPostService.wsdl (The system cannot find the
file specified)". Make sure wsdl exists at that URL and is valid. </summary>
Thanks
Michael.

this sounds strange, and I never heard of it ..
can you get us a step by step tutorial to see if our support can reproduce this ..
which version are you using?
thank you,

POST through HTTPs

Hi, I try to perform http POST using
http://martin.nobilitas.com/java/cookies.html
it works.
However, when I try to perform POST using https, by using tips
// Dynamically register the JSSE provider.
java.security.Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
// Set this property to use Sun's reference implementation of the HTTPS protocol.
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
it won't work anyone. I get error
Exception java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: https://www.xyz.com/dologin.jsp
any suggestion?

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

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
Navin

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

Is it possible to call a SOAP webservice using HTTP POST adapter

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to call a webservice using a HTTP adapter with POST method? If yes, how?
Regards,
Diptee

No this will not work since you have additional SOAP information (i.e. SOAP envelope, security information) in addition to the payload. If you need a simple HTTP-Post for example, then you don't need SOAP, you can use the more simple http protocol without the additional features of SOAP.
Also refer to this link for differences: Difference b/w SOAP and HTTP

Maximum HTTP posts to "Plain HTTP" adapter

Hello,
I am working on some load testing on a development box that we have for a simple synchronous HTTP<>XI<>RFC interface. I have tested up to around 45 simultaneous users and the XI box starts to reply with 500 Internal Server Errors to the HTTP posts. Up until that point it processes the messages fine and returns the correct response and 200 OK codes.
Could someone direct me to the configuration on the XI box for the maximum number of HTTP requests to process or an explanation of why the server starts to drop POSTs? Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Anthony Cesaro

Hi,
have a look at those two parameters from the XI profile:
icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB
Maximum size of HTTP request accepted by ICM
and
connection timeout:
icm/server_port_<xx>

Http post to a url from a WebDynpro (Java) application

Hi,
I want to send http post parameters to a url from a WebDynpro (Java) component. I need to do this to send OCI catalog data back to SAP SRM.
I found this thread:
HTTP Post
which suggests to use the the Suspend plug for this purpose.
<quote>
Sending POST parameters with Web Dynpro Suspend Plugs
1) Define a an additional Suspend Plug parameter (besides 'Url' of type String) with name 'postParams' and of type Map
</quote>
After adding the postParams parameter of type java.util.Map to the Suspend-plug the WebDynpro gives the following error during build:
Outbound plug (of type 'Suspend') 'suspend_plug' may have at most two parameters: 'url' of type 'string' and 'postParams' of type 'Map'.
I use SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio version 7.0.16.
Does someone know a solution? I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Not able to send message - http post from MII 12.1.4.53 to PI 7.1

Hi ,
Question
u2022     Is there any configuration to set up in MII and PI to do posting to PI as a web service? If YES, please guide.
Situation
u2022     We are with MII version 12.1.4.53 and trying to send message through http post to PI 7.1 server.
u2022     We are getting the following error HTTP 500 Internal Error Issue.
u2022     However we are able to post messages from SOAPUI through the same URL and with the MII system which is running on version 12.1.6.91 and 12.1.9.116
u2022     HTTP Response received as below points to PI Configuration issue.
Error
    <SOAP:Fault>
      <faultcode>SOAP:Server</faultcode>
      <faultstring>Server Error</faultstring>
      <detail>
        <s:SystemError xmlns:s="http://sap.com/xi/WebService/xi2.0">
          <context>XIAdapter</context>
          <code>ADAPTER.JAVA_EXCEPTION</code>
          <text><![CDATA[
com.sap.aii.af.service.cpa.CPAObjectNotFoundException: Couldn't retrieve inbound binding for the given P/S/A values: FP=senderService;TP=;FS=null;TS=;AN=null;ANS=null;
thanks

Hi Anudeep,
The question isNOT ABOUT the format of the URL which MII should use.
Using the same URL we are able to post the message from other MII versions with in the landscape( MII version 12.1.6 and MII version12.1.9) and through SOAP UI.
500 Internal server error Problem arises when the message is sent through the same URL from MII 12,1.4 Build(53) to PI 7.1 ( we tried https Post, XI Webservice, WebService action blocks)
Question:
Are thre any configuration settings specific to MII version12.1.4 Build 53 which needds to be set in MII to communicate to PI 7.1.
Thanks
Rajesh

PL/SQL posting to HTTP request

Hi
As part of a web application I am developing, I need to generate an HTTP post from a PL/SQL package. The problem I am having is that the message going out is not properly formatted and is being rejected by the listening application (in this case, WebCT)
The MIME message should be formatted like this. (this is what I get when I use Perl to generate the call...)

resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
utl_http.read_text(resp, val);
utl_http.end_response(resp);
When I watch the network traffic generated by this PL/SQL I do not have any carriage returns which makes WebCT to believe that the message does not carry the proper data and returns Fatal Failure(99): Invalid URL arguments...
Is there somewhere where I can see sample code for placing HTTP requests using the utl_http package? Or if I am doing something obviously wrong (I am new at this whole PL/SQL thing...) please let me know.
Thank you
Bogdan

If UTL_HTTP.SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT has no effect, probably your hang is due to the fact that the machine is completely down and inaccessible.
As the name suggests, SET_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT only controls the timeout when UTL_HTTP succeeds in making a connection to the remote Web server and it times out the request when no more response is received by certain time while the connection is not closed by the remote server either.
In your case, you probably need a connect-timeout which isn't provided by UTL_HTTP (yet).
