MDN s in AS2 adapter

Hi team,
can anybody explain difference between asynchronous and synchronous MDN with respect to AS2 adapter?
Regards
Sachin

I think there should be some [parameter by name MDN Mode , to specify synchronous or asynchronous in the AS2 adapter.
see if the following article provide you some direction.

MDN Issue in AS2 adapter.. Seeburger experts., Need help

Hi All,
Iam doing a scenario EDI-->Idoc for purchase order(ORDERS) by using AS2 adapter.
We are expected to send the technical acknowledgment once we receive the Orders from sender.
I think When we use the MDN (Message disposition notification), i will be getting the system generated acknowledge like below.
 <TransmissionReport>
<from>SAP</from>
<to>BIS</to>
<transmissionMsgID>43cc21a0-f752-11d8-c8ca-00c09f19e074</transmissionMsgID>
<sentAt>2004-08-26T132252+0200</sentAt>
<info/><adapterName>AS2</adapterName>
</TransmissionReport>
But my requirement is to send the ackowledgement with few more details like POnumber along with the standard details like below.
<TransmissionReport>
<from>SAP</from>
<to>BIS</to>
<transmissionMsgID>43cc21a0-f752-11d8-c8ca-00c09f19e074</transmissionMsgID>
<POnumber>6529833</POnumber>
<sentAt>2004-08-26T132252+0200</sentAt>
<info/><adapterName>AS2</adapterName>
</TransmissionReport>
1. Is there any option where i can modify the MDN acknowledgement file by adding few more fields??
2. If not please suggest me how i can proceed with this.
Note: We should not use by creating one more msgtype in SAP and send back the acknowledgement like Orders response(ORDRSP). They just want the file from XI itself.(But not from SAP Side).
Regards
Seema.

Hi Reddy,
If ur problem is solved can u plz help me?
I have one question related to the MDN .
My scenario is like AS2 adapter is on the receiver side means its converting XML to EDI format. When the payload along with MDN is sent from the XI side EDI partner , the EDI partner sends back the MDN acknowledgment back to XI.
The problem is that XI is not able to accept the MDN acknowledgment.
Could you please suggest what all steps need to be configured to receive that MDN acknowledgment on XI side.
e.g 1)AS2 Communication channel with message protocol REPORTS
2)Sender agreement for accepting the acknowledgment
3) What type of message interface is to be used which is required in the configuration step for sender agreements(MDN specific format??)
4) Any other configuaration required ??
Please reply as soon as possible.
With regards,
Simran

Seeburger AS2 Adapter: "MDN not signed"

Dear all,
we just updated our test system from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1. Now we are facing a problem with our Seeburger AS2 Adapter.
I sent out a message via AS2 and get the follwing error message in Seeburger AS2 Monitor:
"MDN not signed"
In the Receiver Communication Channel I checked the Option "Sign MDN". In XI 3.0 this Scenario was working perfectly. So I contacted our communication partner and asked them if our AS2 message really contained a request for a signed MDN. Our commnucation partner confirmed and sent the MDN as text file to me. This text file shows that the MDN is signed. So it seems that the Seeburger AS2 adapter does not notice that the received MDN is a signed one. But why? Do you have an idea?
Just for testing purposes I unchecked the "Signe MDN" option. In this case the transmission finished successfully.
Who can help?
Thanks
Michael

Dear Vikrant,
many thanks for your reply. But I am not sure if we are really facing the same issue as you described it in your article.
Currently we have this situation:
When I send out a message the Seeburge Workbench provides only the following error message:
"MDN not signed"
Via the Recovery Monitor I can check the received MDN. Here I can see that the MDN is signed and positive.
In the Runtime Workbench I checked the following:
1. In the Message Monitor (Adapter engine) the message is in status "System Error". Here are the details:
Message could not be forwarded to the JCA adapter. Reason: Fatal exception: javax.resource.ResourceException: SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received., SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received.
Adapter Framework caught exception: Fatal exception: javax.resource.ResourceException: SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received., SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received.
Delivering the message to the application using connection AS2_http://seeburger.com/xi failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: javax.resource.ResourceException: SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received., SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received..
2. The Communication Channel Monitor shows the following error messages:
Error type: REPORT_ERROR >> Error date: 12/14/10 12:02 PM >> Description: MDN not signed [12/14/10 12:02 PM]
Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: javax.resource.ResourceException: SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received., SEEBURGER AS2: Negative synchron MDN received.
I do not understand why the MDN is recognized as negative and unsigned even if the plain text version of the MDN shows that it is signed and positive.
In your article you recommend to create a sender communication channel for MDN and a corresponding sender agreement. We already did that in XI 3.0 to forward the MDN as STATUS IDOC to SAP ECC.
Maybe you have an additional idea?
Thanks

AS2 Adapter.. How i can receive the MDN messages?

Hi All,
Doing IDOC to EDI scenario.
Iam using AS2 adapter to send the messages to partner system and i need to receive the MDN from partner system.
1. what are configuration settings i need to provide in AS2 receiver adapter?
2. I need to put option as Refer MDN to XI system..?
3. Is it necessary to create one more Sender channel and sender agreement to recevie the MDN?
4. Why we have the option as Asynchronous MDN settings in AS2 sender adapter ?.
Kindly let me know if anyone knows the answers.
Thanks & Regards
Seema.

Thanks Anoop for the answer.
So if i want to do the scenario for Idoc to EDI.
then the steps will be..
1.
- AS2 rcv adapter -- to send the message to partner.
- all remaining steps like sx agreement,rx agreement,interface deter,Rx determination to send the actual msg.
2.
- Again one AS2 sender channel to receive the MDN from partner for the same scenario
- one sender agreement for MDN.
TO receive the MDN.. no need of rx agreement,interface determination,rx agrrement??
If we want to see the MDN.. how we can see it?
3.I have a scenario where, once i receive my MDN message and with the help of Data in MDN message , i need to update my custom table in SAP by inbound processing.Is it possible??
Please help me.
Regards
Seema.

Receiver AS2 Adapter : Empty Message Handling

Hello Experts ,
We are trying to work on following requirement .
File -> PI -> AS2 ( File) ( We are using Pranke to drop our message to the receiver system) (MDN ack too is in place )
There are times when none of the source records are valid and we have an empty payload post mapping.
In AS2 adapter we are using StrictXML2Plain.
Scenario works fine for all target messages which have data and a file is created at the receiver end. MDN ACK works fine too.
Problem is when we have empty target payloads , We get following error in communication Channel monitoring.
Information
SEEBURGER/AttribMapper: Finished succesfully, 1 properties set or deleted
Information
MP: processing local module localejbs/ModuleProcessorExitBean
Information
Message entered AF MP exit bean and will be passed to the JCA adapter now.

Has anyone handled such situation ? Is there any workaround at the SAP end to handle this issue ?
Or is this to be handled at the Pranke end ?
Attaching the Seeburger AS2 monitor error as well for empty messages ,
State
Error on send, will be retried

Hi,
here is the my requirment one source -> two target interfacess (0..1)
If u have 2 target interfaces,then this is not suffice..... u should make it as 0..unbounded both in operation mapping and message mapping.
But based on ur requirements posted above i guess u have only one inbound interface at a time based on some conditions....
But,
<messages>
<messages1>
based on condition first message type not created in mapping.
<messgaes2>
The error u r getting is because.... u want only one interface in target at a time....
Then u should not generate Message1 also in the target.
So avoid mapping to message1 if u want only message2.
If both message1 and message2 are created in target means... it is triggering for two interfaces.... so avoid one message1 or message2... based on some conditions u have..
Still nt solved do post...

4> Reciever CC have modules localejbs/Seeburger/solution/as2 and localejbs/ModuleProcessorExitBean in sequence.
Please provide solutions to overcome the issue.
As this is prototyping, i have downloaded Free As2 client and trying to send files to that client from PI.

Hi Dinesh,
make sure to also configure a report channel (refer to the sample chapter in the SEEBURGER AS2 documentation) in order to receive AS2 MDNs for your sent message. Additionally report channels are needed if the SEEBURGER specific TransmissionReports are requested.
Hope that helps

Client Auth and SSL with Seeburger AS2 adapter

Hello All,
We are using the Seeburger AS2 adapter in our landscape and I am in the process of setting the same up and have made quite some progress in all my issues.
and I hope that you will be able to help me out.
1. Server SSL on Receiver AS2 adapter
I am sending a message from XI using the Receiver AS2 adapter to my AS2 test tool using Server SSL.
This is working perfectly fine. In my AS2 adapter I have selected HTTPS as the protocol and the message goes via SSL to the target test tool, is processed and the MDN comes back to XI perfectly.
The issue here is :
Irrespective of what is provided in the Server Certificate ( Keystore) , the message goes to my target test tool. I even left this field blank with no certificate entry and still the SSL connection was established and the message went to the target system.
Is there no validation that XI does here? I am lost what is the use of this entry Server Certificate if XI blindly accepts all SSL connections.
I am using a Decentral Adapter Engine with LoadBalancer.
2. Client Auth on Receiver AS2 Adapter
I tried to perform Client Authentication by proving my Server's private key in the AS2 adapter. The corresponding public key is loaded in my partner's Keystore.
XI error's with the error "SSL handshake failed - Bad Certificate" .
I am not sure why XI is erroring out here and I have a feeling that I have misunderstood the use of the fields in the AS2 adapter,
Server Certificate ( Keystore) and Private Key for Client Authentication.
Has anyone tried this? If further details are needed, I will be able to furnish the same.
Regards,
Bhavesh

Hello Jens,
Thanks for your reply.
1. The Encryption and Signature part of the Interface is working absolutely fine and I use the same concept highlighted by you - The Sender always signs the message with his private key and encrypts with message with the partner's public key in the corresponding agreement.
2. Server SSL is also working perfectly fine, i.e, when XI initiates the connection the SSL connection is established to the partner.
3. Mutual Auth was the issue where I was getting the bad certificate issue.
To investigate further I moved the same setup to my Central Adapter Engine and all the issues I had described above seem to have vanished and things work exactly as I was expecting, ie.
The field : Server Certificate (Keystore) is used to provide the Target System's Server SSL's public Certificate.
The field : Private Key for Client Authentication is used where XI provides its own Server SSL's private key for Mutual / Client Authentication.
The problem seems to be with my Decentral Adapter engine and not my central adapter engine and so I guess,
1. I either have the incorrect certificates on my Decentral Adapter Engine.
2. I also have 2 instances of a Decentral Adapter Engine with a Webdispatcher and so maybe the 2 Visual Admin's of the 2 Decentral AE are inconsistent.
3. Maybe it was just a long day and I did something wrong
Will investigate further for the root cause but I am glad that my concepts remain intact and things do work as I expected them to work.
A blog on all this is on the cards sometime soon.
Cheers,
Bhavesh

AS2 adapter Outbound Message

Hi,
We have recently configured AS2 adapter for a party and started to test. We tried to send an outbound message to the party and found the following status in our seeburger monitor
It says "Initiaion to Backend Pending" with yellow state. Further the status description shows "AS2 Message created. Will try to send it now to partner and wait then for synchrone MDN.".
What should we do now? Is it the job of the receiving party to accept the message or do some thing at their side.
Regards
Krish

Hello all,

Idoc to Different Trading partners using AS2 Adapter

Hello experts,
I have a requirement where we have to send an Idoc to different trading partners using van.
On the receiver side AS2 adapters will be used.There are many trading partners here.Can someone guide me through? ..
The entire scenario will be done in SAP PO 7.4
Breaking the entire scenario in the following parts---
1)IDoc on sender side--What will be partner profile type? Will it LS or any other (BP, GP or KU??)
2)AS2 configuration details---AS2 adapter is available in the dropdown of adapter list.What are the config details for AS2?
3)Trading partner mechanism-How this can be achieved?..what this essentially achieves ? any step by step guide available? Does it take care of sending the Idoc only to VAN or sending Idoc to different trading partners directly bypassing VAN?
4)Is using NWDS suggestible?--Is it convenient?
Any help/step by step blog will be of great help.
If I miss anything in the entire scenario, please let me know
Thanks
Ayan Chaudhuri

Hi Ajay,
1)IDoc on sender side--What will be partner profile type? Will it LS or any other (BP, GP or KU??)
-->>The partner type is depend on your scenario. AS2 adapter is used for B2B communication and usually to vendor and customers.
This purchase Order should go to the particular vendor as a sales order. Then we use partner type as LI -- Vendor.
Similarly when we sell some materials to our customers, we create the Sales order to our customer. Then we use Partner type as KU - Customer
Partner Type GP---Business Partner
Partner Type KU---Customer
Partner Type LI---Vendor
Partner Type LS---Logical system
Partner Type US--User
2)AS2 configuration details---AS2 adapter is available in the dropdown of adapter list.What are the config details for AS2?
-->> to configure as2 connection you need following details from trading partner
AS2 ID
server address with URL extension
TP certificate
MDN address and type (Sync, asyn and signed or not signed)
Message communication encryption algorithm
Compression is required or not and if req. which algorithm to use
3)Trading partner mechanism-How this can be achieved?..what this essentially achieves ? any step by step guide available? Does it take care of sending the Idoc only to VAN or sending Idoc to different trading partners directly bypassing VAN?
-->> If you are communicating through VAN then you need to send the message to VAN and VAN will route the message to respective TP.
4)Is using NWDS suggestible?--Is it convenient?
-->> NWDS is another option to create scenario, it is depend on developer which one he want to use.

Hi Prakash,
1. I checked the configuration as you said. I haven't it checked the " Deliver Transmission Report"
Is it mandatory to use this check box. Its for what purpose. ?
2. I also tested by selecting No action in Handle MDN part. Now i see success status in Message Monitor .
What i want to know is " is ot necessary to receive MDN " But i am not doing anything with that MDN.
Kindly let me know answers for my 2 questions .

Dynamic filename in receiver AS2 adapter in B2B Add-on

Hello Experts,
Can you please let me know how we can put dynamic filename in the receiver AS2 adapter for B2B Addon on SAP 7.4.
Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Ryan / Experts,
Let me explain you in more detail.
In the receiver AS2 Communication channel, if I keep the Filename field as blank as shown below, then in the Mendelson inbox folder, a file is generated with the name "ASJAVA_DX5" which is my business component name.
If I fill the filname field for example with "CONTRL", then in the Mendelson inbox folder, a file is generated with the name "CONTRL".
This is my requirement because, suppose i trigger this interface "first time", a file with static name (ASJAVA_DX5/CONTRL ) would be generated in the inbox folder. If I trigger this interface "second time", since the file already exists with same name, it is not overwritten and I cannot check the output of 2nd trigger . Contents are not overwritten.
To solve this problem + as a general requirement, I wish to have this name to be dynamic, atleast with date+timestamp.
Can you please help.

Dynamic Receiver file name in AS2 adapter

Hi Experts,
How to get dynamic receiver file name in AS2 adapter. We need receiver file name same as of sender file name.
We tried selecting dynamic attributes file name but we are getting followin error in CC.
Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.seeburger.xi.connector.queue.TaskBuildException: Mandatory attribute dtAS2FileName is not present in XI message., Mandatory attribute dtAS2FileName is not present in XI message.
Thanks,
Hari

hi hari,
You can't do it manually. As both adapter are in different context.
You can go with UDF to slove ur problem.
Just extract the input file name using Dynamic configuration
Store that in some variable.
Use same name in the dynamic file name in AS2 receiver. Below code might be useful.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtAS2FileName", "DYNFILENAME");
conf.put(key,strfilename);
Thanks
