OSB request message reformatting

Hi
In OSB 10g R3, I want to reformat a request message.
Request message will be like
<someElement>a;b;c;d</someElement>
<anotherElement>w;x;y;z</anotherElement>
In OSB i need to format this mesage like
<aNewObject>
<someElement>a</someElement>
<anotherElement>w</anotherElement>
</aNewObject>
<aNewObject>
<someElement>b</someElement>
<anotherElement>x</anotherElement>
</aNewObject>
<aNewObject>
<someElement>c</someElement>
<anotherElement>y</anotherElement>
</aNewObject>
<aNewObject>
<someElement>d</someElement>
<anotherElement>z</anotherElement>
</aNewObject>
Can anyone explain how to achieve this in OSB ?
Can i use Message Format Language (MFL) ?
Thanks.
Sam

Xquery can be used for this type of transformation. MFL is mainly used for use-cases where we need to transform from binary/text to xml and vice versa.
xml to xml transformation are better addressed by Xquery/XSLT

OSB - How select variable used as request message in routing to buss. serv.

I' modelling a message flow for a proxy service.
Depending on the content of the incoming request message, a branch (conditional) is selected. In this branch the message needs to be routed to a business service.
This business service has a different request message definition than the proxy service. Some kind of transformation is probably necessary. (not implemented yet)
Question is how to select what variable structure (I've created a Service Interface variable for the business service) that'll be used when invoking the business service.
Only thing I can select, is the service and the operation.
How to continue?

The payload for the business service needs to be in the *$body* variable. There are also other predefined variables like $header and $attachments that could make sense if your need to send SOAP Headers or attachments to the business service.

How to return "HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required" from OSB's Message Flow

How can I return "HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required" header from OSB's Message Flow?
Using of "HTTP Transport -> Authentification" is not possible, because I need flow condition. Transports Headers activity from design palette doesn't allow to send such headers.
Practical usage: request for kerberos ticket by sending two headers: 401 and WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate...

Can you briefly expand the use case for better understanding?
HTTP Client---> Hand Shakes or what ever ----> HTTP Proxy (OSB )---> Pipeline----
Philosophy behind pipeline is that it is designed to work on the request. Correct me if I'm wrong.
What you are asking is ability to control the hand shake either in Pipeline or some way during proxy configuration. Unfortunately there is no configuration that is exposed for HTTP proxies in OSB to control that behavior.

[OSB] SOAP Message Body Deleted in Routing Process

Hello Folks,
I'm using Oracle Services Bus 11g and I have the following scenario:
A Business Services that is a client of a WebService. This WebService has an operation that return in its Soap Message a field with special characters (an encripted password).
So, I've created an Proxy Service that route the request message to above business service, but when the message returned by Business service is routing back to Proxy Service the body of the message is deleted.
Checking out the trace of the call, it says "Body was deleted" ! And so the message is returned by Proxy service without body !
I suspected that problem is something about encoding !
Someone could help me resolve this problem ?
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
I am facing some similar issues with OSB 10gR3 where the Message body gets deleted and i get empty soap body as response when i make continuous calls to a business service without any time delay between the calls.
Though surprisingly i get the correct response from the business service for the first time but only on consecutive calls without any time delay between two calls i get empty soap body. Later if i try to call the business service leaving a gap of 15 sec after my first call, i get the correct response.
I initially thought it might be a problem with the business service itself but when i try to make continuous calls to the Business service without any timedelay directly from SOAPUI , I am getting correct response everytime.
Hence this seems to be a problem only when i invoke the business service via the OSB proxy and thsi deletes the response body wehn i make continuous calls.Not sure whether this is a bug with OSB or encoding issues.
Pls help me to know if this has anything to do with the caching or any setting in OSB server.
Thank you

How to store the value of request message and use it in Response mapping

Hi All,
We have an requirement where we need to store the data coming in Request Mapping and use the stored value in Response Mapping. Can anybody help us in how to proceed?
Thanks
Sujata

Hi!
In Mapping you may use the RFC Lookup function to store values in database table during request mapping and to read values from database table during response mapping.
You can also use an ABAP or Java Mapping "in front of your" message mapping to store/read the values.
You can also use an Adapter Module (if applicable for the adapter type you use) and/or a UDF to store the data e.g. in Dynmaic Configuration Header of Request Message and to read these data from Dynamic Configuration Header of Response Message. But this works only for synchronous scenarios (and it means overhead in your message traffic).
Hope these thinkings help you o find the most suitable way for your concrete scenario!
Regards,
Volker
Note:
These techniques help you to avoid using BPM.

Request Message mapping in SXMB_MONI for File - RFC - File without BPM

Hi ,
In my File-RFC-File scenario, the messages are processed successfully.
but when i look into the SXMB_MONI for File to RFC step, the records are present only till the Message split According to Receiver List and not able to see the records from Request Message mapping step onwards.it contains
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:Z_PI_LOTUSNOTES_UNIFORM xmlns:ns1="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions" />
in my mapping for the receiver RFC i have not done the mapping for all the fields. few fields i have disabled. whether this could create a problem in message mapping. pls let me know what needs to be done.

Is it only for this scenario that the above display issue is occuring or is it for all scenarios?
If onlt a particular Pipeline steps are displayed then you can check what is the TRACE level set in SXMB_ADM --> Integration Engine Configuration --> and check if the TRACE parameter is set to at least 2 (max is 3 which will ensure that your DB will get full quickly)

Message getting struck at Request Message mapping

Hi All,
In our interface we have Proxy to HTTP scenario. When we trigger data from R/3 system the data is getting blocked at SAP XI system.
In SXMB_MONI when we see the status of the message it doesnot show any error status flag comes with a grey dot .
Generally as per the XI Message process flow it should be some thing like this
Inbound message
Receiver Identification
Interface determination
Message Branch According to receiver list
Request message Mapping
Technical Routing
Call Adapter
Response
When we expand and see the message monitoring it shows the following steps -
Inbound message
Receiver Identification
Interface determination
Message Branch According to receiver list
there is no error messages and you dont see any steps in monitoring after this.
Trace level is set to 3 and also set trace enable for sync interfaces.
Please let me know if some one faced this issue and how to resolve this.
Regards,
Reddy
Edited by: Nanda kishore Reddy Narapu Reddy on Apr 8, 2008 5:31 PM

Hi Srinivas,
If receiver determination gets fail then it should give a error in SXMB_MONI messages.
In the trace messages of the "Message Branch According to Receiver list" step in SXMB_MONI we are getting the details of the receiver and also the Communication channel need to be used also correctly.
I would like to stress that after this step in sxmb_moni it should trigger "Request message mapping" step but it is got getting triggered.
Pls let me know if some one faced this issue or is it because of some cache related issue which is stopping the call to trigger message mapping.
Reagrds,
Reddy

How to fill Request Message ID in SXMB_MONI

Hi,
I have Abap proxy inbound -outbound asynchronous communication between XI and ERP backend .
XI sends a kind of requests messages and the backend sends back messages with a kind of response.
In the Tc:SXMB_MONI I want to see the correlation between these two messages - for instance, to have an entry in column u201COriginal Message IDu201D or u201CRequest Message IDu201D, like it is made in synchronous communication.
I think I need to fill the message header (e.g. field Main/RefToMessageID) in the outbound proxy on the backend, but I donu2019t know how to do it. .
Thanks for your help,
Janos

Hi janos
Then i can suggest a way to meet this. There is no standard way to do it.
To get the message ID from the message you need to capture that in mapping.
This code should help you.
java.util.Map map = container.getTransformationParameters();
String msgid = (String) map.get ( StreamTransformationConstants.MESSAGE_ID);
return msgid;
Now Create a table either in Non SAP or SAP and do a lookup to write the values. I recommend create a Z table in XI and use RFC lookup to write values to it.
Now just write simple ABAP report to fetch these and give it to any one.
Moreover extend the report to get the values from SXMSMAST in XI to get payload attached to that Message ID.
Thanks
Gaurav

RFC Function module-With Only Request message

Hi
i need a RFC with only Request message and Response message is not required.
please help me, how to create a RFC function module with out Response message, and it should contain only Request message.
i have created RFC in this way:
RFC doesn't contain neither import nor export parameters. and i have defined one table in TABLE tab which refers to a ztable created already.
when i imported RFC into XI i came to know that RFC has both Request and Response messages, but i don't need Response message.
Thanks in advance..help would be appreciated
Regards,
Rajesh

Thankx Michal,
I have written ZRFC this way:
insert ZMM_AUTO_GR from INPUT_TABLE .
if sy-subrc = 0.
commit work.
else.
rollback work.
im not using neither import nor export parameters..but using only tables parameters. but when imported in XI im getting same table structure in both request an response.
please suggest what changes required in above code to invoke my ZRFC in async way.
you will not get any response in XI- what chages required in my code to dnt get .reponse in XI.
appreciate your help.

Rajesh.

RFC to SOAP Interface - Problem in Request Message Mapping

Dear All,
We are working on RFC to SOAP Scenario i.e. pulling out data from an WebService from SAP via PI.
In Request Message Mapping, when the wsdl file is uploaded as Target Message, the wsdl request shows the nested elements like below.
<Request>
 <Request_New>
 <PAR1>xyz</PAR1>
 <PAR2>123</PAR2>
 </Request_New>
</Request>
But the desired Request should go like below.
<Request>
 <PAR1>xyz</PAR1>
 <PAR2>123</PAR2>
</Request>
Hence it gives an error saying that the tag Request_New does not exist.

Dear All,
Our target webservice cotains multiple methods.
The every method contains its corresponding request, response and SQL ecxeption as messages.
In case of request structures, every method (except crmPaymentReceived) contains more than 1 root element.
So while calling those methods having more than 1 root element, the additional header tag will always appear(not avoidable) in the request coming from SAP PI.
For Example,
Request Structure for method u2018isLoginIdExistu2019 (having more than 1 root element)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<ns1:isLoginIdExistRequest xmlns:ns1="http://netpricing"> -
>>>>> u201CThis Header tag will always appear u201D
<isLoginIdExistin0>asp</isLoginIdExistin0>
<isLoginIdExistin1>1</isLoginIdExistin1>
</ns1:isLoginIdExistRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
For this method, we get the error(saying that ns1:isLoginIdExistRequest xmlns:ns1="http://netpricing" does not exists).
Request Structure for method u2018crmPaymentReceivedu2019 (having only 1 root element)
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<ns1:crmPaymentReceivedin0 xmlns:ns1="http://netpricing">false</ns1:crmPaymentReceivedin0>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
For this method, we get the success response.
I tested their wsdl URL in XMLspy and wizdal(a wsdl testing tool), it shows request in the format having only root elements and not the header tags.
But header tags will always appear when header tag contains more than 1 root element.
Can anybody suggest me how do I tackle this?
Thanks in Advance.

How to create a standard SOAP request message from a given WSDL file?

Hello,
If I have a WSDL file (either from a .net web service or from the famous Amazon web services), what is the best way to generate a SOAP compliant request message?
I am having trouble understanding the role of WSDL file in a given web service.
Question 1:
If I have a web service that is implemented using jaxm, how do I create/publish a WSDL file that describes the web service?
Assuming I can generate a wsdl file, can I recreate the SOAP request message from the WSDL file automatically (that matches the original request, which is hand build by me?)
Question 2:
If I have a web service that is implemented using JAX-RPC, based on the WSDL file, can I simply generate a valid SOAP message (by some JAVA api) and get the response message directly?
thanks...

I have the same question ("Assuming I can generate a wsdl file, can I recreate the SOAP request message from the WSDL file automatically (that matches the original request, which is hand build by me?)")
Have you already found an answer to this?

Hallo Homiar,
to the first problem:
Do you get the same error, if you test the mapping in the Integration Builder:Design? I mean, you can download the XML instance which is entered into the Message
Mapping zMsgMap in the Integration Engine Monitor (R/3 Transaction SXMB_MONI) and use this XML in the test environment of the Message Mapping in the Integration Builder:Design.
to the second problem:
It looks like that the Message Mapping xMsg_mapping could not be found by the Integration Engine. You can try to reactivate the Message Mapping in the Integration Builder. This is done for example by changing the description of the corresponding Message Mapping object and saving and activating the object.
Regards Franz

Request Message Mapping Problem

Hello friends,
I am working in XI 2.0 and
my senario is sap R/3->XI->File Adapter
I take an idoc from the SAP R/3 system. and that comes properly to XI. I already created Data type, Message Type,
Interface Type, Message Mapping and Interface Mapping in Desing. and all the configuration part.
but when i send an idoc to XI system and check in SXMB_MONI at that time it shows me a green flag. means Inbound is Proper but It does not execute further steps.
like Request Message Mapping, Call Adapter, Response.
Can any one help me to solve this situation..
Thanks in Advance.

hi Shankar,
I am able to solve the previous problem. by restarting my m/c.
Now if any one know that how to configure RFC adapter.
it always give me error like.
Attempt to start RFC adapter failed: com/sap/mw/jco/JCO$Record
And this is due to I am not able to connect to other R/3 system.
In SM59 transaction

when i register my program id to Xmb2RfcService
then it gives me error when i am testing my connection.
