PCK question

Hi folks,
Is it mandatory a communication channel type XI to connect PCK to XI-Integratio Server? Can I use the SOAP communication channel or other else available on the PCK?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi Satish,
Using the URL http:<hostname>:<ABAP-http-port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry I'm using the direct access to IS trough Receiver channel type XI.
I'm asking this because between XI and PCK I have a web service that is needed. The purpose of this web service is only rooting the messages to XI PCK->WS->XI.
Full scenario: (web services) <-> XI <-> (web service rooter) <-> PCK <-> R/3.
My customer needs to know if the communication between PCK and XI uses SOAP standard. Using XI adapter, the protocol is XI messaging and is a SAP-specific implementation of the SOAP protocol. I don’t know if this SOAP protocol is standard to work with all common web services.
Maybe using the SOAP channel, the SOAP protocol is 100% standard and it works for all common web services on the network… I guess!
That’s the reason that I would like to know if a PCK can talk with XI via SOAP adapter, instead of XI com. Channel.
If anyone sees any impediments, please be free and tell me.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

  • Question related to concept of PCK

    Hi All.
    I am quite a newbie to XI and am only learning it thru online help. I have one conceptual question related to PCK.
    My understanding is that PCK is needed by a small business company to communicate to its larger partner which already has XI running. Correct me if I am wrong here itself.
    Now if the larger business partner already has XI, why does the smaller one need a PCK at all? The XI instance on the larger partner will have all the necessary adapters to understand any format send by the partner. So even if the partner(smaller) sends any format- be it IDOC/HTTP/FTP, the XI instance on larger partner will have its adapters ready to perform the conversion.
    Then why is this PCK needed at all?
    Thanks in advance. Hope my query is clear
    Regards.
    Samant

    Hi Samant,
      Your question is a very good one, Though I have not worked on PCK, I can share my ideas based on some brain storming session I had with our collegues & business partners.
      While executing projects, there are technical & operational issues. For example, when you access any HR related data of a UK based organisation then all those who work on that project have to undertake data security pledge. Like wise there are many constraints on data & system accesses, which vary across organisations.
    When you use PCK*, irrespective of different systems what the small vendors have, you communicate with your Big company's XI system only on the XI's msging protocol http(s)/SOAP. This allows a fair amount of ownership of data/access related issues to the small partners.
    -> you go for PCK, when there is no need for small vendors to go for XI.
    Hope this is of some help. As Michal said there might be much more (or even better) reasons.
    Michal, when you say "all of the mappings and transformations have to be on the small company side", what exactly you mean by this. can you please eloborate.
    Thanks & Regards

  • PCK Download and Approach Question

    Hello,
    I am relatively new to SAP and I wanted to download a trial version of the PCK.  Can the PCK be downloaded by itself or is it only available as a part of the Netweaver download?  I have found the Netweaver trial download here:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads
    Is this what I should download to get started?  Also, what would you recommend as introductory reading for the using the PCK to pass data (purchase orders, invoices, supplier data etc.) from a non SAP suply management application written in Java to SAP 4.6c.  Would there be an approach that is considered best for this?
    Thanks,
    Glenn

    Hi Michal,
    but RFC Adapter is on Java Adapter Engine and, as such, is part of PCK.
    On http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/25/76cd3bae738826e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm, you can read:
    The RFC adapter enables you to process and execute RFCs (Remote Function Calls) using the Integration Engine and the PCK.
    As for the IDOC, it's ABAP based and hence is not available on PCK.
    On http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ab/bdb13b00ae793be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm, you can read:
    The IDoc adapter enables you to process IDocs (Intermediate Documents) using the Integration Engine.

    Answers for the some of questions according to my knowledge...
    1. Message type defines the structure of the message instance.
    3. Namespace can make xi objects as unique objects.
    4. Idoc, RFC adapters are fro SAP R/3.
    5. Java mapping , Abap mapping, XSLT mapping and Graphical mapping.
    6. advantage: If multiple receiver or senders then it is very is to handle.
       Disadvantage : Because of BPM performace is goes down.
    7. Adapter can convert the messages into XML format and sendto integratin server and Proxy directly sends messages to  Integration server.
    8. Business system is Logical system for example a specific client on SAP server, Technical system is physical system for example SAP server is physical system with multiple clients.
    9. SLD, IR, ID, RWC, Integration Server.
    10. Global container is used in User defined function, which can be used to cache the value , that can be called in any user defined function of the message mapping.
    11. Integraio server  having the one Integration Engine and one Adapter Engine. Integration engine runs on ABAP stack and Adapter engine runs on Java stack.
    12. Standard functions and user defined functions.
    15. UDF(simple) : This function type can process individual field input values for each function call. Therefore, simple functions expect strings as input values and return a string.
    Advanced UDF: Advanced user-defined functions can access more than just individual field values. Instead, you can import a complete context or an entire queue for a field as an array before your function is called. This enables you, for example, to perform calculations on all field values of a context as well as to divide up the contexts themselves further by inserting a context change.
    Advanced user-defined functions can import either just one context into the input arrays, or complete queues. Make your selection by selecting or deselecting the Save Entire Queue in Cache checkbox in the function editor.
    18. When you need to collect multiple messages in XI ,you need correlation.
    Assume that there are 2 systems sending data to XI and Xi needs to collect the messages of the Systems.
    System A has sent the message to XI and BPM is waiting for message from System B. Even before System B can send its message another message from System A has it Xi and another BPm is instantitated. Now, when System B sends the message how do you know which BPM it belongs to?
    Correlation as the name implies is used to correalte / connect the message so that they are assigned to the correct process Instance / BPM.
    19.   Integration Scenario Patterns:
       1. Synchronous versus Asynchronous Scenario
       2. Collection of Messages
       3. Split of Messages
       4. State full Processing - Integration Process
       5. Serialization
    20. We use BPM when we need to do:
    1.Controling or Monitoring of messages in XI
    2. Collect or Merge the messages in XI
    3. Split the messages in XI
    4. Multicast a Message
    5. Need to send an Alert
    6. Transformation
    when we need to maintain the state of a message we use BPM.
    eg. collect messages specific condition like Collect msg up to defined no. or up to a specific time of a day.
    -> merging of messages and sending as a single message.
    ->splitting of mesages
    ->synchronous/asynchronous bridge
    21. Java Webstart is an cache applications mainly used to support the fat clients, since our IR and ID arefat clients we need this Webstart to work on these....now in simple word to dfefine fat clients is that you are working on client and data gets updated on server.....so Webstart allows you to download all the jar files required to work from the client at once, so you will notice when you oprn your IR and ID for the first time in the systems it takes time to open reason is it downlaod all the necssary jar files required to work IR and ID from your system
    22. Intergration Server, Business Process Engine are components of ABAP,
         Adapter frame work, Mapping engine, ID, IR, and RWB are components of Java.
    23. The namespace could be any string that uniquely defines the scope of those determined fields of the XML file. Usually, you use a URI to define that unique string, and since URLs are the most common URIs, people tend to use plain http URLs as the namespace (it doesn't need to be a valid url). But using "urn:test" for example isn't wrong.
    From the specification:
    URI
    URI = Uniform Resource Identifier
    There are two types of URIs: URLs and URNs
    URL
    URL = Uniform Resource Locator
    <protocol>:// <host> :<port> [<path> ? <query>]
    URN
    URN = Uniform Resource Name.
    URNs define XML schemas.
    urn:<namespace>:<string>
    URN: Uniform Resource Name
    urn:sap-com:xi:demo (URI with out protocol assignment)
    URL: Uniform Resource Locator
    http://sap.com/xi
    24. Transport Protocol
    JBDC 2.0
    Message Protocol
    &#9679;      XML SQL format
    Table values can be inserted, updated, or deleted in one or more tables. In the database, stored procedures can be called using transfer parameters. In the case of synchronous queries, results from database queries or return values of stored procedures can also be transferred.
    &#9679;      Native SQL String
    An arbitrary SQL statement is expected as the message content. This statement is transferred unaltered to the database for processing.
    Depending on the message protocol you selected, the adapter expects special XML document formats in the message from the Integration Server or the PCK. For more information about the document formats, see: Document Formats for the Receiver JDBC Adapter.
    Adapter Engine
    Select the Adapter Engine on the Integration Server, or select a non-centrally installed Adapter Engine. This selection is not available in the PCK.
    Connection Tab Page
    Database Connection
    Specify the following to establish the database connection:
    Field
    Entry
    JDBC Driver
    Java class of the JDBC driver that the JDBC adapter must load to be able to access the driver. The specification varies according to the JDBC driver; see material from the respective provider for exact details.
    Connection
    Address with which you can establish a database connection using the JDBC driver. The specification varies according to the JDBC driver; see material from the respective provider for exact details.
    User Name
    User name for logging on to the database.
    Password
    Password for logging on to the database, including confirmation.
    25. Alerts within XI give us a simple way to monitor only those errors that we want and send alert messages
    to different people depending on the alert category. You can send alert to alert inbox, mail an even on SMS
    if your cell phone operator gives you the possibility of sending an sms through a web service.
    At first we have to create an alert category:
    - go to TCODE - ALRTCATDEF
    - change mode
    - define you alert category

  • IDoc-to-File scenario with external Partner ... PCK necessary?

    Hi all,
    I have a question concerning to a IDoc-to-File Scenario with an external Partner. Here is a short Description of the Scenario:
    The SAP ERP System creates an IDoc which should be send to the SAP Integration Server. The Integration Server respectively the IDoc-Adapter transform the IDoc in IDoc-XML. The Integration Server executes a Mapping and so on. In the final step the Integration Server should send the XML-File to a FTP Server in New York (external Partner) with the File/FTP-Adapter.
    Have I to install the Partner Connectivity Kit at a Server in New York or is it working without the PCK? Which are my possibilities?
    Thanks for your help
    with kind regards
    Christopher

    Hello,
    If the FTP server has connectivity to XI and if the
    port is open XI can directly do the FTP using File
    Adapter.
    Thanks,
    Himadri
    Hi,
    thanks for your quick answer.
    What means "connectivity to XI"? Our SAP-Environment is in Germany and the FTP-Server is in New York. Is it enough to open the port in the firewall?
    Thanks for your answer

  • PCK XI adapter - ABAP Proxy  to File Scenario How to?

    Hi there,
    We want to implement the following sceanrio; SAP ABAP outbound proxy to Flat-File scenario. A (sender) SAP system will trigger an outbound proxy which will send outbound data to a (receiver)file system via the PCK and Central Integration Server.
    SAP (ABAP proxy) -> PCK-> XI -> File System
    My question is; The PCK documentation suggests that the XI adapter included in the PCK can only be used to send/forward messages to the central integration server.
    Does that means that one cannot use the same XI adapter on the PCK to redirect ABAP proxy messages to the Integration server?
    Thanks,
    Roberto

    The PCK cannot be used as a replacement for XI Integration server. PCK is only a type of adapter engine that can run independantly. It is intended for partners who cannot use XI server. So PCK can not in itself execute interfaces. It can just forward all the messages received to the XI Integration server. PCK can only run your sender or receiver adapter all the mappings can only be executed on the integration server. So PCK just converts from the native format to XI format and forwards to the Integration Server.
    Hope that carifies your question .
    Thanks,
    Kalyan Musunuri

  • Questions in adapters??

    thanks
    gabriel

    hi
    1) In BPM Async-Sync bridge, the QOS change and we assume it to be worst case always ie BE
    2) The Logging API lets you collect all info/error/debug information in a central trace file that can be viewed on the client or sent to the server for inspection by the administrator. With the logging information at hand, most application and framework problems can be analysed remotely by system administrators without them having physical access to the device.
    Tracing of info/error/debug information of different trace levels.
    Should be used by EVERY application. The framework also makes extensive use of logging, esp. during synchronization and deployment
    Easy handling for end-users: trace file can be displayed locally or be sent to the WebAS on next synchronization for further inspection by the administrator.
    Broad method signature to makes tracing easy in all problem situations (for example, easy logging of Java exceptions)

  • Adapter development in PCK in a one2many scenario

    Hello,
    I want to develop my own adapter. To do that I installed the PCK and changed the relevant parameters as described in the help to pass the test messages through the PCK.
    Before changing the sample adapter I tested a one2one scenario without problems.
    But now to my question: is it possible to habe only one sender and two receiver in this PCK test scenario (one2many)? Is there a possibility to duplicate the incoming message to more than one receiver?
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

  • Strategical Decision - when to use PCK instead of XI - Adapter ?

    Hello Everybody,
    being a newby to the world of SAP Netweaver I found the ressources you created here very use- und helpful - thank you all.
    We are in somekind of a design-phase regarding our necessary interfaces ...
    right now a strategic question occures : when will it make sense to make use of PCK instead of using the possibilties PI has ?
    Or else : Why should I use (and pay for) pck, while Netweaver PI can be used as some kind of middleware?
    Whats the advantage / disadvantage?
    I found and read a lot of blogs, threads, etc. describing and discussing the how PCK works (or not) but I still don't get the picture about the questions above.
    Thanks in advance !
    René

    hi
    The PCK (Partner Connectivity Kit) is a solution provided by SAP for companies who wants to communicate with another company that have SAP XI but don’t want to install their own SAP XI, basically it’s an installation of an small SAP XI system with most of the functionality disabled and it is used as an endpoint for message transfer between the organization with XI and the partner company.

  • SOAP Sender to JDBC Receiver via PCK Scenario

    Hello all,
    I have the following scenario:
    an external program is calling my XI system which has a webservice enabled as a SOAP sender communication channel.
    now, i need to pass the input over to a remote system with PCK installed on it which needs to execute a stored procedure on an oracle database via the jdbc adapter.
    The jdbc adapter is deployed and working well on the PCK engine.
    When I pass an xml message over to the Webservice, its also OK (in the adapter monitoring).
    my question is - how can i pass the input parameters from the WS over to the PCK and then over to the JDBC adapter to execute the Stored procedure (which only writes the data).
    I saw that the data type and message types of the message going to the JDBC need to be in special format including the name of the SP, action=execute and all the parameters with attribute type=datatype.
    all of that is done already.
    However, i still do not understand where/how does the PCK get the message and invokes the JDBC adapter for processing.
    Many thanks for you help!!!

  • Question on IDoc and RFC

    Hi Folks,
      I have few questions on SAP XI.
    1) For IDoc and RFC, why we need to import the metadata again even though we import RFC and IDoc in intergration Repository?
    2) Why we don't need to create Message interface and Message type for IDoc and RFC?
    3) Why RFC and IDoc comes in different namesapce, not in the namespace in which they are impoeted?
    4) For IDoc we need to import metada in tran IDX2. Why the same is not in case of RFC? In case of RFC we need to specify metadata repository parametes in Communication Channels.
    Thanks,
    Punit

    Answer 1) IDoc (Intermediate Document) metadata comprises structures for the corresponding IDoc types that are required by the IDoc adapter to convert these IDocs to IDoc XML format and the other way around
    Answer 4) The adapters are configured in the configuration part of the Integration Builder, or in the configuration part of the PCK. You use the SAP Java Connector (JCo), which enables you to manage metadata. This in turn enables you to map RFC data generically to RFC XML and the other way around.
