HTTP Receiver Adapter : Dynamic URL

Hi,
I have a scenario where I wish to build a dynamic URL for the HTTP Receiver Adapter. The URL will contain a customer number which is present in the mapping.
The help seems to suggest that this is possible :
<i>If you want to use an HTTP destination or URL set by the mapping, set the URL or HTTP Destination indicator. (The indicator displayed depends on the Addressing Type you selected above). If you set the indicator, the URL or HTTP destination set dynamically is called by HTTP.
If the message header does not contain the URL or the HTTP destination, and you have set the Fail If Adapter-Specific Message Attributes Missing indicator, the XI message is set to status System Error. If you do not set the indicator, the URL or HTTP destination defined statically in the communication channel is used.</i>
However, it is not very clear where the URL needs to be set dynamically.
Does anyone know how to achieve this ?
Cheers
Colin.

hello to all,
We have a unique issue with one of our customers that is limited to 100 character URL. The current url is http://mycompany.com/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=urn%3Agoodyear%2Ecom%3AAIT%3AInventoryCheck&interface=AITInventoryCheck_Abs&service=HTTP_AIT_InvChk&QOS=BE&sap-client=010&sap-language=EN
Is there a way to have a URL like
http://mycompany.com/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=urn%3Agoodyear%2Ecom%3AAIT%3AInventoryCheck
and then somewhere in the process add... &interface=AITInventoryCheck_Abs&service=HTTP_AIT_InvChk&QOS=BE&sap-client=010&sap-language=EN
So the data comes to an F5 through the DMZ to the SAP webdispatcher then to the SAP XI system.
Any ideas if this is possible or how you could start with a shorter URL?
Thanks,
Dede

HTTP receiver adapter: dynamic configuration

I was told that if I have a URL and some parameters, I can use a sync HTTP receiver adapter to call a site.
I know this can be done using some kind of dynamic configuration, but I am not familiar with this adapter.
The most important question here is that I need to know if this can be done throw PI, so my question is:
Is there a parameter limit in the HTTP adapter? If so, what is the quantity of parameters that I can give to the adapter?

for the ASMA parameters you can use for the HTTP receiver adapter check

SOAP Receiver Adapter - Dynamic URL

Has anyone tried modifying SOAP URL dynamically using UDF in the mapping?. I searched Forum and couldn't get right answer. Does it work with Adapter Specific settings and variable transport binding? Please donot post links to other posts unless it got an answer or atleast close to being answered. We are on PI7.0. Thanks

Hi,
I have similar situation. My target URL lookslike this
http://devlsales.test.com:8000/soap/services/AdapterService which is a working right now.
With Variable transport binding ( TServerLocation ), Can I change http://devlsales.test.com from above URL to
http://devlprofits.test.com and remaining text same resulting
http://devlprofits.test.com:8000/soap/services/AdapterService by using UDFs.

HTTPS communication using HTTP receiver adapter URL address as Address Type

Hi All,
If some one who has tried HTTPS communication using HTTP receiver adapter using URL address as Address type can you please guide me what are the steps need to be done.
Note : Address type is a parameter in HTTP adapter setup .
Regards,
Reddy

Hi,
Check this,
Configurations in Integration Directory
The plain HTTP adapter gives the receiver system the following specifications:
 Specifications for addressing using a URL address:
Target host, service number, and path prefix including query string:
http://<hostname:port>/<path>?<query-string>
You can identify the target host (HTTP port) of a SAP Web Application Server using
the
ICM monitor
Host and port of the HTTP proxy (optional if there is a firewall between the plain
HTTP adapter and the receiver system)
Authentication data for the receiver system.
See also: transaction Display and Maintain RFC Destinations (SM59).
 Specifications for addressing using an HTTP destination:
HTTP destination
 Parameters from the communication channel for technical routing
Content type (the entry text/XML is expected as default)
Specifies the format that the message contents (the payload) should have.
Optional header fields for the receiver-specific protocol
Attributes for the query string
1. Sender party
2. Sender service
3. Receiver Interface
4. Message ID
5. Quality of service
6. Queue ID
All attributes are selected except for the queue ID. If you do not want a value to be
transferred to the receiver, deselect it. The queue ID is only required if the quality of
service is EOIO.
Specifications for payload manipulation
XML code (default UFT-8)
Specifies the character set.
URL escaping
Presents the XML in a URL-enabled format. Special characters that could be
interpreted as control characters are replaced with escape characters (masked).
Prolog
Enhances the payload for particular servers (optional, see below).
Epilog
Enhances the payload for particular servers (optional, see below).

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?

Stefan

Adapter specific properties (http receiver adapter)

Hi,
does anybody know the technical name for the HTTP destination of a http receiver adapter.
The documentation lists only the names URLParamOne to URLParamSix and HeaderFieldOne to HeaderFieldSix.
Neither the technical name for URL nor for a HTTP destiantion are mentioned.
Regards,
Marc

Hello Moorthy,
I know this part of the documentation.
So I set the indicator within the communication channel.
Now, I have to fill the dynamic configuration during my mapping. My code looks like following:
DynamicConfigurationKey keyURL = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", <b>XXXXX</b>);
// access dynamic configuration
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get (StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
// set value
conf.put(keyURL, url);
So what has to be filled instead of XXXXX ?

Marc

HTTP Receiver Adapter

Hi,
I am working on a scenario, where I am posting xml message on https url, for which I am using HTTP receiver adapter.
I have created RFC destination of type 'G' in sm59 to make an https call, where I have provided following details:
In Technical Settings:
Target Host - <Hostname>
Service No. - 443
Path Prefix - <url path>
Logon Security:
SSL - Active
SSL Client Certificate - Default SSL Client (Standard)
UserName - <Username>
Password - <Password>
I have used this RFC destination in 'HTTP Destination' of HTTP receiver adapter.
When I test this interface, I am getting this error.
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">

</SAP:Error>
Can you please help me resolve this issue. Please let me know, if I am following the right steps.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Amit

Hi -
Since you're using the http destination option in the channel, you just specify the user/pwd in the destination.
Regarding the issue, first, for the Logon/Security option in the destination, unless you'll be using a client certificate to authenticate, you should choose option ANONYM SSL Client (Anonymous) - you still provide the user/pwd in the Logon section. Make sure you have imported the root cert of the CA verifying the server's identity into the client certificate list within STRUST (node SSL Client (Anonymous)).
Also, for some hints on the issue, look at the ICM trace - tcode SMICM->Goto->Trace File... you may need to increase the trace level - SMICM->Goto->Trace Level... After resolving the issue, make sure to set the trace level back to default.

How to set HTTP header field "cookie" with http receiver adapter?

Hi,
I am using http receiver adapter (not axis) in a scenario. I could not set a parameter with key cookie in http header. Is there some kind of restriction to set it? I am able to set others like connection and create custom fields using ASMA and dynamic key configuration via UDF on mapping.
Could you please comment on, is cookie http parameter special or noneditable by PI's http adapter? I am looking for a solution without editing any abap code...
Regards,

I believe it is possible since axis adapter provides very same functionality. Let me summarize my scenario may be it helps:
I am trying to call series of webservice lets say in a BPM. First service (login service) will provide me with a session id (in http header with key Set-Cookie) then I will call another service which has that session id in its http header with key cookie then I am going to logout. So I am testing the second part now, but it doest let me send cookie http header parameter.
I hope I clarified a bit more my problem.

I think this is not a typical HTTP URL type of format, is it?
And I am not sure how I can build the message. Where do I put the parameters like TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL, TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, REQUEST_TYPE etc in the HTTP adapter?
Also is there any place where I can see the final actual XI message that is sent to HTTP service?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Rahul.

Hi Rajeev,
The receiver system should have the details about the content type it expects. I got that from the team who monitors our receiver system.
The HTTP Body of HTTP adapter is made up of PrologPayloadEpilog.
So I added the paramter list that receiver system expects as part of the Prolog. Refer to the HTTP body that I have posted in my earlier message. Out of that till ".....Payload=" is added to Prolog and XI then appends actual payload to it.
To be precise -
TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL=OXTA&TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL_VERSION=1.0&MESSAGE_TYPE=XML&MESSAGE_STANDARD=UNIVERSAL&TRANSACTION_TYPE=XXXE&TRANSACTION_SUBTYPE=ORDER_I&DOCUMENT_NUMBER=PO12345&PARTY_SITE_ID=ESAP_ORDER_I&USERNAME=***&PASSWORD=**&PAYLOAD=
So in the end it worked out well.
Cheers,
Rahul.

How to trace HTTP receiver adapter error

Hi All,
My scenario is to send PO details to vendor site (HTTPS URL). MY SSL configuration is complete and I have used the SSL certificates in RFC destination of type 'G'. When I test RFC destination connection, it gives me the correct response as '200'.
This RFC destination is used in HTTP receiver adapter of XI to connect to site and post PO xml document. It is passing successfully through Integration Server, as I get success flag in 'SXMB_MONI'. But, it is not reaching our vendor's site.
Can someone help me, with what's going wrong, or how can I trace the error.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Hi Sadhna,
It's a B2B scenario, where my sender is configured correctly and the receiver as well.
In sxmb_moni, I am getting successfull status. But, it is not reaching receiver.
Thanks & Regards,

HTTP Receiver adapter with post

Hello,
I have following scenario.
XI (http receiver adapater) -
> 3rd party web based application.
The 3rd party application expects XI payload to be part of URL with POST Method.
When HTTP receiver adapter sends request to 3rd party application, the URL looks like as follows.
http://myserver:6789/myapplication/name1=value1&name2=value2&.....&name27=value27
I looked at HTTP receiver adpater document on SDN. I see some attributes such as headerfiled1, headerfiled2..... headerfield6 and urlfield1....urlfield6. I have about over 25 fields to be passed with URL.
Now I have following questions.
1. How to make XI payload as name value pairs and part of URL.?
2. I think the default for http adapater is GET, How to configure http adaper to use POST?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Balaji

> 1. How to make XI payload as name value pairs and part of URL.?
You should create the whole URL in a user defined function in mapping.
> 2. I think the default for http adapater is GET, How to configure http adaper to use POST?
HTTP adapter (and SOAP adapter) use HTTP POST. GET is not supported.
