RFC Adapter: Adapter Engine Field Blank

Hi all,
Could anyone guide me through troubleshooting this one: When creating a RFC communication channel the listbox for the Adapter Engine is empty so I cannot select Integration Server as in other channels. All I know is that this might come from a messed-up SLD.
What do I need to look for? Any help is really appreciated.
Eugen.

Hilbert,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It kept me looking for more OSS notes and #764176 actually solved this problem.

RFC Adapter Problem: Adapter Engine Field Blank

Hi,
I want to invoke a BAPI defined on a R/3 system. I am trying to create a RFC Adapter in the Integration Directory by creating a communication channel.
The problem I am facing is that when I define the Adapter Type as RFC, the Adapter Engine dropdown list is blank and it does not contain any entries.
On passing a document through XI, I can see the following error in the monitor:
<SAP:Code area="INTERNAL">ADAPTER_NAME_INVALID</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>RFC</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2>PLSRV_CALL_ADAPTER</SAP:P2>
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>Unknown receiver adapter (name = RFC)</SAP:Stack>
what do i need to configure on the XI and R/3 side ?
thanks,
Manish

i followed the steps but i am not getting the populated adapter engine list.
Actually, the Association shows a list of logical systems to be added (Application System, BC Application Server, BC Central Server Instance .....). I experimented with many systems but it is not working.
My basic problem is I need to call a BAPI from XI. The XI monitor shows the error :
Adapter Name Invalid.
Unknown Receiver Adapter (name=RFC).
Now, for the RFC adapter, I have not given it any name. My Communication Channel is called GeneratedChannelRFC. I am not sure where this error is coming from. I would appreciate any help to solve this error.
thanks,
Manish

Adapter engine field blank in RFC Comm channel (Sender)

Hi Friends,
I am not getting any value in drop-down list of adapter engine in RFC adapter sender communication channel.System is allowing me to save the comm channel , system is giving me following error
No adapter engine specified
I m getting values of adapter engine when I select some other adpter like XI.
Thanx

Hi,
The RfcAdapter is implemented as a J2EE Service and thus this service has to be started and stopped. This will affect the whole RfcAdapter and can be done from the J2EE Engines Visual Administrator. When you are connected to the J2EE Engine choose the tab 'Cluster' and open the appropriate server node in the tree. Then open the 'Services' node. There you can see the entry 'SAP XI Adapter: RFC'. When you open the context menu on this entry you can start and stop the service

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.

Adapter Engine field is blank while creating RFC recieving Comm Channel

Dear XI gurus
I have just installed XI server and also did the configuration and everything seems to work fine. I did SLD configuration, mapping etc.,
Then went to Configuration module and am trying to create a sender communication channel (Adapter Type RFC).
The Transport Protocol and Message Protocol fields got automatically filled by 'RFC' and 'RFC (RFC XML)' respectively.
However Adapter Engine field is showing up blank and when I try to select from the drop down menu, it is also blank.
I did search for other postings and tried the following as per the suggestions
Went visual administrator (by clicking on go.bat) and made sure that the cluster->Service and all the services needed for SAP XI Adapters are up and running
I would appreciate if you have any other feedback on this problem.
Thanks
Ram

Thanks a lot for your response, I will try that again and will let you know.
Meanwhile I also followed tech note 1031321 which said the following.
2. To register the Adapter Engine, you have to restart the following applications:
sap.com/com.sap.aii.af.app
sap.com/com.sap.aii.af.cpa.app,
But this didn't help. I will try your suggestion

RFC Receiver Adapter Problem- Sending Blank XML Node

Hi,
I'm using the RFC receiver adapter to call a RFC in R/3 from XI 3.0
In the payload XML one node is blank as I want to pass a blank parameter to the RFC. But in R/3 the blank node is getting converted to #
Can anyone suggest how can I pass a blank node while calling the RFC using RFC receiver adapter in XI 3.0?
Thanks in advance,
Dipankar

Hey
Please check the outbound payload in sxmb_moni and RWB,if the field is blank there,then it means that PI is passing correct value to ECC.its possible that RFC has been coded in such a way that it converts blank spaces to #.Please look at RFC documentation in that case and see if it helps more.
If the outbound payload itself in PI is showing as # instead of blank,then check the message mapping in PI.
Thanx
Aamir

Adapter Engine Field missing --

Hi All,
I'm trying to create new Communication Channel in our QA system.
I'm using 'Sender File Adapter' But somehow When I choose below option, the last value (Adapter Engine) is blank.
- Adapter type : Sender FILE http://sap.com/xi/XI/System SAP BASIS 7.00
- Transport Protocal : File System (NFS).
- Message Protocal : File
- Adapter Engine : ??????? (Blank)..
We are under PI 7.0 and I did same in Dev but it's not in QA. I think the value of 'Adapter Engine ' should be 'Integration Server'
automatically. Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes, if your adapter reside in the central adapter engine then it should be in the IS.
Adapters that host in different adapter engine, then decental adapter engine need to be selected.
Check you SLD configuration, whether there is an entry for your Adapter Engine or not.
Have a Look on this SAP Note : 764176, do hope it will resolve you problem.
Look for these discussion: Unable to determine name of central adapter engine
Missing Adapter Engine in the XI Domain (in the RTWB view)
Thanks

Adapter Engine field is empty

Hi all,
1. When creating Communication Channel in ID , "Integration Engine" field coming as empty when file adapter is selected. It is shwoing error msg when saving the CC. Why it is coming as empty? and how to resolve it?
2. When selecting the IDOC adapter in Communication Channel only "Receiver" option is enabled and "Sender" option is disabled. What to do for "Sender" option also to be enabled?

Khaja.

Hi,
Check if post installation is done properly.

Communcation channel - Adapter engine field is empty.

Hello Gurus,
After pointing XI to a seperate SLD, the Adapter engine field (the pull down) in the "Communication channel" is empy. The adatpers are visible and no problem there. The business systems apprears to be O.k in the new SLD. We perfomed a export of technical and Business systems from old SLD and new SLD.
Help will be awarded with points.

RFC Receiver Adapter Issue

Hi all,
I'm sending a sales order from my ftp server to my R/3 system through RFC. I want this sales order to be created in the R/3 system, For this i'm using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. Now when i'm configuring my RFC Receiver adapter using the help given on the help.sap.com under "adapters"->"rfc adapter"-> "configuring the rfc adapter", i'm not able to find the parameters mentioned under " Advanced Mode" Heading. In this page, it says that after checking the Advanced mode checkbox, one should get the additional parameters and then we need to set the indicater for the parameter "Commit Control for Individual BAPI Calls". Since i'm not able to find these parameters even after checking the chekbox, i'm stuck. I understand that if i don't get this parameter, my BAPI will not commint and hence the sales order will not be created in R/3.
Kindly suggest.
Regards.
Naveen

Hi Naveen -
>>>In this page, it says that after checking the Advanced mode checkbox, one should get the additional parameters and then we need to set the indicater for the parameter "Commit Control for Individual BAPI Calls". Since i'm not able to find these parameters even after checking the chekbox, i'm stuck.
For this I agree with Sameer. It's probably an adapter metadata issue. As mentioned your XI system needs to be at least on SP14. Also, in the Int. Repository, check SAP BASIS 6.40 SWC SP Level by right clicking on the SAP BASIS 6.40 SWCV, then Display Support Package - this is where the adapter metatdata is delivered. By default, the highest one displayed is wha'ts current on the system. You should see at least SP14 here. Incidentally, this does not confirm the SP level that the rest of the XI components are on, just this SWC.
>>>When i checked in the integration engine, transaction sxmb_moni, i found that the message was processed successfully ! But when i checked in my R/3 system, i didn't find any sales order ! Kindly give me some inputs for this issue.
It probably failed in the adapter engine. Check the adapter engine monitor via the RWB - so once in RWB, goto Message Monitoring, select Adapter Engine (important), then look for your message.

Jin

RFC Receiver Adapter and RFC Destination -- Help

Hi,
I would like to configure the RFC Receiver Adapter for the invokation of a RFC on SAP System (Name: ALPHA) using a RFC destination provided by another system named BETA.
I have set External Server as server type.
My first question is: I have to quote an application server gateway and a gateway service. Is this information related to a service on ALPHA or BETA?
My second question is:
It is also necessary to provide a Programm-ID. The destination on BETA is a R/3 connection and doesn't have a programm id. Where do I get this from?
And my last question is:
Is at all possible to use the RFC destination on BETA?
Any help is really appreciated...
Kind regards,
Heiko

Hi Heiko,
I don't fully understand your need but:)
since both of your systems are SAP systems
why are you trying to use external server?
can't you just call RFC on BETA
and inside this RFC on beta call RFC on ALPHA?
in a sync or async way?
can you tell a little more about your requirement ?

Rfc Destination problem in RFC Sender Adapter

Hi experts
I created a Rfc destination type TCP/IP for Rfc Sender adapter.
while creating i passed following parameter:
1) I selected Activation Type option-> Registered Server
2)Given a Program id , same as i given in Rfc sender Adapter config.
3)Gateway option:
   i) Gateway Host:Server IP address where i created Rfc.
ii) Gateway Service:sapgw00
After making these entry, i m unable to receive message at XI end (I am executing Rfc at R/3 site due to Rfc sender)

Hi
please check for the following things.
1. check the RFC destination using the connection test tab in the R/3 system.
2. check whether the program id that u have given is registered or not.
to check the program id go to the transaction SMGW, in the menu select Goto-->LoggedonClients
check for ur program id name in the table.
3. when you configure the RFC sender adapter in XI then you have to give the same program id name that you will give while creating the RFC destination in the R/3 system.
if u still face the problem please reply me back.
Thanks

Call rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems

Hi,
is ist possible to connect to an rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems? I want to use the the RFC-Connector from http://rfcconnector.com, but in the client connect options there is no way to specify the program id.
Best regards,
Daniel

hi,
you don't need to use RFC type T (with program ID) - you can use whole connection string - just like in the example:
http://www.rfcconnector.com/documentation/examples/client/#functioncall
so just specify: host system number etc.
it should work like that - but let me know as I don't know this RFC connector

RFC Sender Adapter in XI..Possible??

Hi All,
I am trying to send data from XI using RFC Sender Adapter.
Have done all the configuration, ie created a tcp/ip destination in SM59 and then in the RFC adapter mentioned the program name.
In Adapter monitoring i can see the adapter working fine.
When i execute the Function Mouldule i get the following error in SM58.
parameter JCO.Request was <null> (server: RfcServer[CC_RFC_TX1_OUT]1)
Can anyone please lemme know if we can send data from XI box using RFC sender adapter.
Regards,
Sumit

Sumit,
Technically specking this should be possible.. I Havent tried it though..
So, you are using a Sender RFC to send data from XI to XI itself uh?
I have tried configuring a Receievr RFC adapter pointing to XI and it has worked fine.
Also, take a look at these blogs if your config is correct,
