Option Adapter Engine of SOAP Adapter Sender

Hi, I have a question, I am creating a Communication Channel Type Sender Adapter Soap and note that the combo box Adapter Engine only appears Adapter Engine Central option and watch some examples of internet show Integration Server option and the section Default XI Parameters. It has to do with the version I'm using? or need to configure anything?. The version I have installed is the PI version 7.1.
Thanks for the support.

Hi, if the adapter XI shows the Integration Server. So in version 7.1 is no longer displayed in the Integration Server in the option Adapter Engine?. The problem is that I am leading this link http://www.****************/Tutorials/XI/SYNCASYNC/Page2.htm see image http://www.****************/Tutorials/XI/SYNCASYNC/Page2.76.jpg and not put in the Adapter Engine and XI Default Parameter. Thanks for the help.

PI 7.0: Message prioritisation in adapter engine for SOAP adapter.

Hi All,
We have both high and low priority synchronous messages using the SOAP sender Channel of the Central AE.
How can we make sure that High Prio messages ALWAYS get a thread right away when entering the AE? Installing a separate AE is not an option.
When I look in RWB->Component Monitoring->Adapter Engine->Engine Status in the Queues tab, I see this:
SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/SystemCall Yes 5(5) 5
SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/SystemRqst Yes 5(5) 5
When a new High Prio message enters, it can take more than one hour before it gets processed, because there are 1000 Low Prio messages also using the same 5 available Threads...
This delay is of course unacceptable for High Prio messages.
I checked in many other threads in SDN, looks like we cannot priortise for particular messages in PI 7.0, as we can do only at adapter level, not at interface level.
I was thinking of going to the approach which was suggested by "Gr, Wout" in the below thread.
xi prioritization in adapter engine (ae, af, adapter framework, java, jca)
Creating own adapter "MYSOAP" by copying the metadata of SOAP adapter. By that we can use our own adapter "MYSOAP" for high priority interfaces.
what you think guys about this approach?
Is there any thing I need to take care going through this approach apart from copying SOAP metadata into my own adapter.?
Thanks

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

WS Adapter V/S SOAP adapter

What is the main difference between WS Adapter and SOAP adapter.
I am confused when to use WS adapter and SOAP adapter.
Can anyone give me answer with an example.
Edited by: Kumar on Apr 7, 2009 1:25 AM

Kumar,
Please go through the below URLs for a discussion of SOAP and WS adapters:
The difference between SOAP adapter and WS adapter in PI 7.1
WS adapter vs. SOAP adapter
Also i found that :
SOAP adapter uses XI integration engine for sending and receiving data. However the WS adapter provides the direct communication using WS runtime. The advantage of using direct communication is that it improves the performance of message transfer. PI is still involved as it provides the monitoring capabilities which is very important for point-to-point communication.
Lets learn and grow together ....Happy Learning !!!

Xi prioritization in adapter engine (ae, af, adapter framework, java, jca)

Hi Gurus,
We have both high and low priority messages using the SOAP Receiver Channel of the Central AE. How can we make sure that High Prio messages ALWAYS get a thread right away when entering the AE? Installing a separate AE is not an option.
When I look in RWB->Component Monitoring->Adapter Engine->Engine Status in the Queues tab, I see this:
SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/SystemRecv true 1243 5(5) 5
[http://<xi>/mdt/SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/SystemRecv]
When a new High Prio message enters, it can take 4 hours before it gets processed, because there are 1243 erroneous Low Prio messages also using the 5 available Threads...
This delay is of course unacceptable for High Prio messages.
Thanks.

OK, forgot to mention we're on PI 7.0 and no intention of upgrading.
Has anybody tried to copy the SOAP Adapter deployment descriptor, change the namenamespace from "SOAP" and "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System" into "MySOAP" and "http://company.com", copy the SOAP Adapter Metadata to the same namenamespace and redeploy it?
This way you have created your own Queue, like ...
SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System.Call.maxConsumers 5
SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System.Recv.maxConsumers 5
SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System.Rqst.maxConsumers 5

Adapter specific attributes - SOAP Adapter

Hi,
I am trying to use the adapter specific attributes of the receiver SOAP adapter. But I am not able to view the Dynamic configurations in sxi_monitor corresponding to this message. Any clue why!?
I read through the SOAP adapter help on help.sap.com,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/69/a6fb3fea9df028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Here it says:
If you want to use header fields, set the relevant indicator for Variable Header. The technical names for the fields are XHeaderName1, XHeaderName2, XHeaderName3. The parameters are embedded in the HTTP request under the names you enter here.
But I donot find an option where I can enter the names. Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Smitha.

Hi Smitha,
I did not try to use adapter-specific attributes with SOAP-adapter, but with mail-adapter. The documentation is quite similar, so I excpect similar results...
So as far as I understood, the parameters XHeaderName1, ... etc are for dynamic extension of the set of adapter-specific attributes. For example, if you want to add some more information in the message header, you can program an adapter module and you have now a guide how to name the additional attributes.
Usually, the "standard" adapter-specific attributes are starting with "S" (Sender) or "T" (Receiver). You can find the names in the documentation of the SOAP-adapter.
In order to use the adapter-specific attributes, you have to check both indicators (adapter-specific attributes, variable transport binding). If this still doesn't work, you should use OSS. In my scenario (mail adapter) this didn't work, too. The reason was, that there was a bug in the adapter metadata (Integration Repository) of SAP BASIS. There was a SAP note, where I could download the correct adapter metadata. Maybe you can find a SAP note for the SOAP Adapter.
Although this is probably not the final solution, I hope this guides you a step further.

Torsten

Decentralized Adapter Engine or Local Adapter Engine

Hi Experts,
I hv a doubt like what exactly we are achieving by installing a local Adapter engine? Is this something to handle the firewall protocols? In one of the SAP material, it has been mentioned that aditional adapter engines may need to be installed "Close" (in a network sense) to the Business System? What does it mean? What are the advantages over a centralized adapter engine?
regards

Vijaya Lakshmi,
Every XI installation will install a default adapter engine and these are called as the Central / Local Adapter Engines. Most of the times this one Adapter Engine is more than sufficient.
At times, when the load on your server is going to be high , you can install a Decentral Adapter Engines and these are nothing but seprate instances of your Adapter Engine that can pick data and send it to your Integration Engine.
The need for a decentral Adapter Engine also arises when you have security restrictions, DMZ , etc in the landscape where one adapter engie is used for one particluar DMZ and another acts as the local adapter engine etc.

Need the difference between Adapter Engine and Advanced Adapter Engine

Hello All,
I am new to PI 7.1. Have knowledge on how message flow goes(PipeLine steps) in the Adapter Engine of PI 7.0.
Now I have few doubts regarding the pipe line steps in PI 7.1. Whether they are similar to that of PI 7.0 or is there any change in the process? Can anyone help in explaining this difference?
Regards,
Achari

Hello All,
Thanks for the prompt responses and with best information, But apart from this,I need how an adapter(File/JDBC) works along
with AAE in PI 7.1. When does the job of File/JDBC adapter is completed and resumed in a synchronous case. That is,
File Location --> file adapter -
> XI(AAE) --> JDBC adapter --> database.
In file sender, lets suppose we have synchronous settings(Best Effort). Now when File adapter's job is finished and when it
gets back the response back from XI. Please explain step by step from starting(file adapter polling the location) to getting the response coming back to XI.
Regards,
Achari.

Decentral Adapter engine or Local adapter engine requires separate databse?

I'm installing De-central/Local adapter engine in my landscape. Does it requires a separate databse??
My OS is AIX and Database is Oracle. Can someone give me the installation document for Decentral adapter engine.
Thanks
Sagar

Thanks for the information.
I've one more question, in de-central adapter engine post installation configuration.
document says I need goto visual admin and do some settings, do I need start Visual admin in XI ?
or De-central adapter engine will have its own Visual administrator and there only we need to do this post installation steps??

WS adapter vs. SOAP adapter

Hello SDNers,
in PI 7.1, we have WS adapter available. What is the difference between WS adapter and SOAP adapter? Does it mean that WS adapter offer web service standard feature like RM, SAML, while SOAP adapter does not?
Would appreciate if somebody can brief the difference.
Thanks
Jayson

hi Stefan
Can you please tell in the link Business Process Cycle Analyze Phase [original link is broken] that you gave , where it is mentioned that SOAP adapter supports SAML, i need this ,because i am unable to configure using soap adapter only ws adapter supports saml. can you please clarify this.
thanks

How to set content type in SOAP AXIS sender adapter

Hi All,
I am trying to fetch the data from an URL which has special characters(like Ä, ï) using SAP PI - SOAP AXIS adapter. I am facing the below error in the channel.
“error during receive: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: charset: utf-8”
I need to set the content type as ISO-9958-1 but there is no such option present in the SOAP AXIS sender Adapter. Please let me know if there is any way to set the content type and fetch the data successfully.
Thanks,
Konda

Hi Sudha,
I have tried textcodepageconversion, Message
Transformation and Annomizer beans but didn't help and this error is in sender SOAP AXIS adapter.

SOAP Adapter option is disabled in adapter monitoring

Hi
I am trying a simple SOAP to FTP scenario. I have done all the steps in the repository as well as the directory and i have even activated it, but in adapter monitoring the SOAP adapter option is disabled.
Hope someone could help me out on this.
Thanks & Regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
We have also faced this type of problem. But at that time we were calling XI from a ASP.Net page.Just a few suggestions which you can try out :
1) Using XMLSPY and your wsdl file, try sending a SOAP request to the XI. If you got the response then there is no problem with your scenario.
2) If you didn't get the response or any erro comes then try recreating a new scenario nad repeat 1) (we have to do this after that only we got success )
3) Check your webdynpro code which call the XI server. Have a look at this weblog :
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/09/15/connecting-to-xi-server-from-web-dynpro
Hope this will be helpful.

Adapter engine field blank in File Comm channel (Sender)

Hi,
I am not getting any value in drop-down list of adapter engine in file adapter communication channel.System is allowing me to save the comm channel but when I am trying to create sender agreement, system is giving me following error
Unable to find an associated SLD element (source element: SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, [CreationClassName, SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, string, Name, directory.s01., string], target element type: SAP_XIIntegrationServer)
I m getting values of adapter engine when I select some other adpter like IDOC or RFC.
Please help...

Hi,
1) Can you check your Post Installation.
2) Look for SAP NOTES.
3) Try cache refresh
a)Start transaction SXI_CACHE.
b)From the context menu XI Runtime Cache select Start Complete Cache Refresh.
If you still face issue try this .
Many actions require to access System Landscape Directory content from the Integration Builder. To optimize performance, this content is loaded into a cache so that the System Landscape Directory does not have to be accessed directly each time that System Landscape Directory content is required.
However, this cache is not automatically updated if changes are made to the content of the System Landscape Directory. For this reason that we delete the System Landscape Directory cache if changes have been made to content in the System Landscape Directory. The cache is then filled each time that the System Landscape Directory is accessed. If we log on to the Integration Builder after we have made a change in the SLD, we do not need to delete the SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.

Sender File Adapter Not Showing in Decentral Adapter Engine

Hi,
We have recently implemented a Decentral Adapter Engine on a windows box. The adapter engine seems to be working fine because my adapters show and seem to work fine in it.
However, when I define a Sender File Adapter that uses File Content Conversion message protocol instead of just File messaeg protocol, the adapter does not show up in the decentral adapter engine.
I made sure that Adapter Engine parameter in the Sender File Adapter shows the new adapter engine but that does not seem to be working. If change the Adapter Enginer parameter to show the Central Adapter Engine, then I can see the Sender File Adapter on the Central Adapter engine and it works fine. (Note: The Central Adapter Engine is installed on a Unix box)
Here are the paramters I defined for the Sender File Adapter:
- Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
- Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
- Adapter Engine: (new Adapter Name)
Source Directory: (
server/drive/path)
File Name: purchaseOrder.txt
Quality of Service: Exactly Once

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Alaa,
look into this document:
http://service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides -> Exchange Infrastructure -> Troubleshooting: Adapter Engine 3.0 (Expert Call slides)
If the File Adapter works without conversion, then you should count the number of fields in a row. If it differs from the configuration, then it runs on error.
Another idea is to check the content type of the file. When you do not enter a File Encoding, then the file adapter assumes utf-8. If the file is for example latin-1, then the number of characters in a row are not counted correctly.
Regards
Stefan

Sender File Adapter Can I set original MessageID like SOAP Adapter??

Hello,PI Experts!!
I want to set original messageID(GUID) to Sender File adapter scenario.
SOAP Adapter can set original messageID with url, about FILE Adapter??
I think Adapter Module maybe can set original messageID.
best Regards,
Yuuki Fujioka.

Hello,
Yes, you can get Message ID with any adapter.
All neccessary information about approach you can find in links below:
