Log the message payload

Hello,
We have a HTTP --> RFC synchronous scenario.
We have 8 fields in request but we want to log only 6 of them in XI. The other 2 fields should not be logged anywhere in XI.
Is that possible?
Thanks,
Beena.

Beena,
I've been raising this issue with SAP for a while now. I entered a Service ticket with OSS to make this issue known internally at SAP and would strongly recommend that you do the same.
Just so others also realize how important it is that the Card Number and CVV value not be logged - have a look at the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) which can be found here: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/pci_dss_download.html.
If you take a look at the table on page 2 and you'll note that under the Storage Permitted column you'll note that for CVC2/CVV2/CID the entry is NO. This means that a merchant may never store the CVV value in an unencrypted or encrypted format. It simply is never allowed. In fact, the following note is made after that box:
Sensitive authentication data must not be stored subsequent to authorization (even if encrypted).
Storing this type of data may subject a merchant to fines and perhaps even loss of their merchant license - effectively taking away their license to accept credit cards as a form of payment. Even worse, should a breach of the data stored in the XI logs occur, the merchant may eventually find itself in the news as the next company to have had sensitive data stolen. The fact that the data was unencrypted in SAP's XI logs would be even worse publicity!
I'm trying to encourage SAP to help find an acceptable solution for this issue and would request that you also log this as an issue with SAP Support. The CVV value is important to a credit card transaction and must be passed in the authorization transaction - but without being logged. Until such a solution is found I would recommend that XI/PI not be used for processing credit card authorizations because of this PCI security issue.
As Srinivas states in his response, it may be best simply to bypass XI/PI altogether.

Developing the Wrapper class to log the message in XI server

Hi All,
We are trying to develop wrapper class on the SAP Logging API, in that I am unable to log the message in the log file(whose path is mentioned in the properties file).
We use this for storing when exception raised during message transformation due to certain error conditions...
Procedure:
My Wrapper class will take the parameters from Property file and store/log the message in the specified location,
This is working outside of XI environment
Please suggest how to make to work in XI environment
Also suggest do I need to do any configurations in SAP web As

Alerts with variables from the messages payload without BPM?

Hi, experts:
Is it possible to define a alert category with variables from the messages payload(for example:order_id ) without BPM?
Regards
Yu Ming

Refer to
http://searchsap.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid21_gci1240902,00.html
initially this also talk about BPM but you can check whether you can use the container variable in you case.
How to define the container variable in ALRTCATDEF is mention in above link.

Logging the XML payload in Oracle Sales Cloud

How can xml payloads for inbound and outbound web service call be logged in Oracle Sales Cloud?
We need to capture the xml payloads as part of web service calls (inbound/outbound) and store it on server/objects.
Is it possible to achieve this and if so how can this be done?
Thanks,
Abhishek

For outbound invocations from Sales Cloud, how are you invoking the web services today?
If you are using groovy scripts to invoke, you can using a println after the invocation and view the messages through the "Runtime logging" feature.
This should work if you want to view the payload for debugging purposes
However, I also see that you need to store the response. Are you trying to implement auditing?

Navigate from an XI Alert to the message payload

Hi experts,
Please consider the following scenario.
Assume that we have a scenario wherein we have a BPM.
The BPM has a transformation step inside it.
The transformation step may fail due to some mapping errors.
In such cases, we can trigger an alert to notify the users.
In the alert that has been sent, we would like to have a Hyperlink, upon clicking which, the user should be navigated to a screen where he can view the payload that is involved.
Can someone guide me in this regard?
Thanks,
Ravi Kanth Talagana

Hi,
While creating the Alert Category, you will have something called FOLLOW ON actiovities, please add the links here.
By default, in your Alert message in Alert Inbox, you will have 2 links taking you directly to the messae in SXMb_MONI. Have you checked the Follow On Activities tab of your Alert messge in Alert Inbox. You would be able to see the link --> Message Monitor and Message Monitor (Safe Connection). Click on this to go to your message in MONI.

Bhavesh

Metadirectory: In the join-engine log, the message 'MDSConfig Invalid PollSchedule supplied (-NULL-). Defaulting to 15 seconds' appears every (you guessed it) 15 seconds.

After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

Message payload logging for Uniform Distribute Queue

Hi All,
We have a requirement to log the message payload, of every jms message received in a Uniform Distribute Queue in Weblogic.
Please let us know how can we achieve this.
Thanks.

If you want to avoid use of the Path Service, then the alternative is to make the destination members highly available. This will help ensure that the host member for a particular UOO is up.
One approach to HA is to configure "service migration". For more information see the Automatic Service Migration white-paper at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/weblogic/pdf/weblogic-automatic-service-migration-whitepaper.pdf
In addition, I recommend referencing Best Practices for JMS Beginners and Advanced Users
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/e13738/best_practice.htm#JMSAD455 to help with WL configuration in general.
Hope this helps,
Tom

How to monitor the size of message payload processed

Hi all,
where could i find the size of the message payload processed in monitor?
i want to check the volumn of the payload, such as how much kb
thanks in advance

Hi,
ths payload size in KB can be found from the audit logs of the adapter monitoring (Runtime workbench ).
it will tell you the exact size of the files processed through the adapter.

You can use the logging and tracing functionality to write log statements anywhere in BPEL. refer http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=LoggingFromWSBPELActivityInABusinessProcess . But you should keep in mind these are not soap messages that you log. They will be abstract WSDL message instances. If you want to log specifically the soap messages you need the support in HTTP-BC.
If you turn on logging you should see the line number of BPEL where it fails. That should give you some indication. I am not 100% sure, but in the logs, we should be logging the variable which was not initialized. I can't think of any other way to find out which variable caused this exception.

How to log the exception using Log action in Oracle Service Bus

Hi,
Whenever an exception is raised how to log the exception using Log action in oracle service bus.After logging where I have to find the logged message.

It would be in the log file for the managed server which ran the request. If you are logging the message at a lower level than your app server, however, you won't see it. You should be logging the exception at Error level.

JMS Message Selector on Message Payload

Hi,
I have a requirement where in;
A JMS adapter consumes messages from an AQ JMS Topic. We need to make selective dequeue from the Topic. Is that possible to make use of the message selector option on the 'message payload'?
Message selector works on JMS Header and Properties as far as I know.
Any insight on this would be of great help :-)
Thanks,
Manoj Nair.

It's like almost a month to get a response for such a generic JMS functionality. Looks like the Oracle SOA user base is really low. Anyone with a working example reference.
Thanks

Access to message payload at UDF

Hi,
I need to get the message payload at a User Defined Function. I found http://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/pi711sp03/index.html which have many API class like http://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/pi711sp03/com/sap/engine/interfaces/messaging/api/Message.html and http://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/pi711sp03/com/sap/engine/interfaces/messaging/api/Payload.html . But i dont know how to get the message object from container. I checked the PI mapping blogs but couldnt find any clue about that. Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Altuğ Bayram

When you want to work with the whole payload, why don't you use a Java mapping?
The graphical mapping is made just to avoid that you have to deal with the XML structure.
