RFC Adapter - Locking Issue

Hi,
Our SAP production environment was down for two days. While it was down the login used by one of my RFC Receiver Adapters was locked. This meant the adapter could not run. Fair enough.
When the Production environment was brought back up the login used by the RFC Receiver Adapter was unlocked. However, I continued to get an error in Runtime Workbench claiming that the login was locked.
Checked with the security team and they confirmed the user wasn't locked.
Just to try something I went into the RFC adapter in question and simply retyped the login/pwd, saved the adapter and activated it. This seemed to clear the problem and it's now running as expected !!
Question is why did this work ? The adapter was saying the login was locked. It wasn't. All I did was effectively resubmit an updated version of the adapter and it worked again, even though no part of the adapter had actually changed. Is this some sort of caching issue ? Any thoughts ?
Cheers,
PaulC.

User was unlocked yesterday and was still giving locked error this morning. It's now working. Just surprised that a new call of an adapter would continue to say locked when it wasn't. Can only think it's some for of caching but this is a pretty unsatisfactory answer. Makes me worry that it might happen again.

RFC Adapter reconnect issue

hi
We have a problem with RFC connection with SAP System on production.
I consuder to change initialRfcClientConnectCheck to false.
But in this case RFC adapter will check connection each time. It is not good for performace.
What doy think is it good practice to have initialRfcClientConnectCheck=false on production system? I don't see another way How to force XI reconnect after shutdown of SAP System.

Hi,
Apart from setting this option there is no other way out.
We have made this change in our production and we have faced no issue in terms of perfromance after setting the parameter!

OFTP_TCP Receiver Adapter locking issue /stopped working

Hello,
OFTP Receiver adapter stopped processing of GOTYPE commands which are used to extract available EDI files from mailbox.All command messages are in 'To Be Delivered' status. As there are no commands reached to mail box all EDI files remians unextracted.We had restart of java stack, after that command msgs processed by OFTP adapter and EDI files get processed into SAP.
What I understood, OFTP adapter might locked / oftp processors stopped working.
In this case are there any other ways to bring back OFTP adapter into normal functionolity instead of 'Restart of Java Stack'.
Thanks

Hi,
I hope someone can share your thoughts who worked on OFTP adapter.

Use of Adaptive RFC and locking

Hello,
I am using an adaptive RFC model inside a Web Dynpro Application to maintain data residing on a SAP Enterprise system.
This RFC also sets a lock in order to make sure nobody else tries to change the same data.
I use pessimistic locking which means:
1. Web Dynpro calls a RFC
2. The RFC first locks the data then reads the data and returns the result back to Web Dynpro
3. The user changes the data and presses a save button
4. Web Dynpro calls the RFC to write and unlock the data
The problem i have is the fact that after locking and reading of the data the RFC is ended and the data is received by the Web Dynpro App. But at the same moment the lock is automatically unlocked because the RFC has ended succesfully.
How can i achieve that the lock is still there at the moment i want to change the data or is this procedure of pessimistic locking not possible?
Bertil

Hi,
Whether possible or not : Don't know. Probably not with RFCs.
More importantly, shall you do it? If it is transactional data you are updating , you may wish to consider concurrency issues (what if you locked and came to web dynpro, and user is thinking whether he shall take a coffee break first before pressing the 'Save'. Would you like to keep this record(s) locked and unavailable for the entire duration?)
Normally, you would read the data in the first call, let the user update it on the second screen, and then, when the user presses save, execute in sequence :-
- try locking the record,
- if locking is successful, Verify whether the record you read has changed in the meanwhile or not (verify what you have in your workarea(before changes done by user) is the same as in DB, by reading again from the DB)
- If above check is successful, go ahead with the update else throw an error message to the user to redo the txn
- unlock, exit
hope this helps,
cheers,
Ajay

Receiver RFC adapter issue! Please help!

Hi Experts,
I have 4 XI interfaces. All of these are Webservice to RFC scenarios. Moreover all of them are synchronous.
Request message: Webservice (SOAP Adapter) ---> XI -
> RFc Adapter ---> ECC Function modules
Response message: Webservice (SOAP Adapter) <- XI < RFc Adapter <- ECC Function modules
As you can see above, external system calls XI web service via SOAP Adapter. The input data is then sent from SOAP Adapter to RFC adapter to call RFC function module in the receiving side. The receiving system is SAP ECC system.
The receiver ECC system has two instances. For example SP0 ad SP1.
In the receiver determination step we have maintained a rule such that if the Plant value in the input message is XYZ then send data to SP0. But if the plant value in ABC then send data to SP1.
This Conditional rule is working fine.
However we are getting couple of issues with only one instance of ECC (SP0).
1. com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessageExpiredException: Message badfa070-b163-11de-a4c1-001cc495e48a(INBOUND) expired
2. NO_MAPPINGPROGRAM_FOUND. Mapping program is not available in runtime cache: Object ID C2B41FFDFD4635BAB1E41AE53C0D10CE Software Component 5394F420463611DAC1CFFBBC0A01BC16
3. com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: No response available
The above listed errors are generated occasionally. Sometimes no errors are generated even when the same input data is sent again and message is successfully processed.
I have verified the input data and everything is OK with that.
Mapping object is available in XI and cache was also refreshed. I additionally reactivated the objects in XI as well.
So what could be the real root cause of this? Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

1. com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessageExpiredException: Message badfa070-b163-11de-a4c1-
001cc495e48a(INBOUND) expired
Check the Timeout parameter of your adapter.....for requests which expire with this error confirm from the SAP end that the message processing is done well within the Timeout period of the adapter.
Refer this note for more info on the above occuring error and the possible way to avoid it: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/791379
Update:
Even problem 3 seems to be occuring due to insufficient Timeout specified for the adapter.....if possible try increasing the Timeout in VA

Abhishek.

RFC to XML-RFC Parsing issue in RFC Adapter as Sender

Hi all,
I tried to use RFC adapter as a sender. The scenario I am trying to achieve is R3 -> RFC Adapter Sender --> BPM --> RFC Adapter Receiver --> SAP Auto-ID system.
The reason to use two RFC adapter and BPM is to log the request message if the RFC call fails. Everything works as expected, except the RFC Adapter Sender.
The RFC I am calling has an input table. The input data I use works fine if I call it via SE37 or remotely from another SAP system. However, if I call it via RFC adapter, when XI parses the data into RFC-XML format, the input data is all messed up.
DATA: BEGIN OF ID_STR,
 ID_VERSION(8) TYPE C,
 ID(96) TYPE C,
 ELEMENT_NAME(50) TYPE C,
 ELEMENT_VALUE(128) TYPE C,
 END OF ID_STR.
DATA: it_id LIKE TABLE OF ID_STR,
 ls_id LIKE ID_STR.
ls_id-ID_VERSION = 'EPC_1.30'.
ls_id-ID = '30340242206DC3C00000000A'.
ls_id-element_name = 'BATCH_ID'.
ls_id-element_value = 'BATCH001'.
APPEND ls_id TO it_id.
CALL FUNCTION '/AIN/UI_MOBILE_MSG_SEND'
IN BACKGROUND TASK
DESTINATION 'RFC_UPDATEAII'
EXPORTING
 IV_BUSINESS_PROCESS = '09'
 IV_COMMAND = 'DO'
 IV_ACTION_TYPE = 'APL2'
 IV_PRT_ID = '31140242200000000F000000'
 IV_DEVGRP_EXTID = 'MOBILE'
TABLES
 IT_ID = it_id
commit work.
And the parsed RFC-XML message is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rfc:_-AIN_-UI_MOBILE_MSG_SEND
xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
<IV_ACTION_TYPE>APL2</IV_ACTION_TYPE>

You can see the data in the table is all wrong, it should be:
<IT_ID>
<item>
<ID_VERSION>EPC_1.30</ID_VERSION>
<ID>30340242206DC3C00000000A</ID>
<ELEMENT_NAME>BATCH_ID</ELEMENT_NAME>
<ELEMENT_VALUE>BATCH001</ELEMENT_VALUE>
</item>
</IT_ID>
The calling system is a 4.6C non-unicode system, and the destination system is a unicode system (this does not matter since the first part of the integration is between R3 and XI). There is no config found on R3 side to specify non-unicode because it is a rather old system. In XI RFC Adapter config, I checked non-unicode checkbox (I also tested it with this unchecked, but still the same issue).
Have any of you seen this problem and how you resolve it?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Hart

Hi Hart
long time no seen - hope you remember me
>The reason to use two RFC adapter and BPM is to log the request message if the RFC call fails
there is an easy way (guess max 3-4 hours) to solve all of your issues
and get rid of a BPM
use IDOC - XI - ABAP Proxy
then you will have IDOC and ABAP Proxy that always log the message on both ends (and you can restart ABAP proxies easily in AII - and every AII supports ABAP proxies) + you get rid of a BPM as it's not necessary as far as I understand (as it's asyn communication right?)
maybe you can go this way and IDOCs always work...
good luck,

RFC Adapter issue

Hi,
I have a strange behavior from the RFC adapter.
When I submit from a report data via RFC to XI, everything works. If I try it a second time, the RFC call fails. Also a RFC connection test to XI fails.
After restarting the RFC Adapter in the Visual Admin, I can execute the scenario for another time. A second time fails then again.
Does someone know this problem?

Hi Michal,
changed the param initialRfcClientConnectCheck to false. Restart the RFC Adatpter, but I am still facing the same problem.
Sometimes I am facing connection problems with LCRSAPRFC, too. Sometime a connection test is successful, sometimes not.
The error I get is: "CPIC-CALL: ThSAPCMRCV no data received". After a view tries it works again - but for not very long.

RFC Adapter Problem: Necessary Roles?

Hi XI Gurus,
Our team is working with a File-to-RFC scenario. We are using a custom RFC, which uses BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE within it, to post data for Goods issue, Goods receipt and Transfer Posting. We are using the credemtials of a user, sapxiuser, within the RFC adapter. Can anyone please tell me what are the roles that are to be maintained for this particular user at the R/3 end?
Points will be rewarded!
Thanking in anticipation,
Amitabha

Hi,
Remember to add explicit commit in the communication channel:
"
Commit Control for Individual BAPI Calls
If you want to use this communication channel to call BAPIs as remote-enabled function modules that change data in the database, set the indicator.
If executed successfully, the transaction is written to the database by calling the function module BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT explicitly. If an error occurs, the transaction is rolled back by BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK.
The result is determined by the value of the field TYPE in parameter RETURN. If successful, the tables are empty and the values , S, I, and W are displayed. All other values are regarded as errors.
To change this setting, set the indicator BAPI Advanced Mode.
In the Successful RETURN-TYPE Values table, enter the values that should lead to a successful execution.

Wojciech

RFC adapter in XI 3.0 not working properly with BAPI in R/3 4.6C

Here is the scenario.
An XML file is received from our customer. This file contains purchase order information that is used to create a sales order in our SAP 4.6C system. Once the sales order is created an acknowledgement is generated and this is returned back to our customer in an XML format. This scenario is working perfectly fine in our XI 2.0 system but is not working properly in our XI 3.0 test environment. Our custom function module in R/3 is a wrapper function that uses a standard SAP BAPI to create the sales order. Part of the function module does use the statement
call function 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
The last thing the BAPI does is call another function module that using an RFC destination that will return and order acknowledgement.
Here is what happens within XI and our SAP system.
The XML file is received and mapped to our imported RFC. The RFC adapter is called and the information is passed onto SAP where our customer function module executed. The sales order is created within SAP without any problems and the second function module is called which references an RFC destination assigned to our XI 3.0 system. The information is sent back to XI and an appropriate file is created for our customer. All seems to be working properly except that when the original RFC is sent from XI to SAP, SAP creates a short dump stating
"call to messaging system failed: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException:" Then it is put back into the que where 5 minutes later it executes again and trys to recreate the sales order in SAP. (again, this same function module executing from XI 2.0 works fine)
I believe I have everything configured properly because the SAP side is being executed and I am successfully passing information back from SAP to XI. However the original function module in SAP is failing with the above error message. It appears that the original function module cannot communicate back with XI. I have had SAP looking at this issue and they have not been successful yet in solving this problem.
Any ideas.
Thanks,
Jim d'Hulst

Hi,
I think the problem is with the send back of acknowledgement to XI. Does the DeliveryException state something about the sender agreement? I guess you are using a statement like below:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZABCD'
destination <tcp/ip destination>
exporting
input = ack.
In that case, check whether the TCP/IP destination is working fine. Also, to be able to exchange message, the structure of the Function Module ZABCD needs to be identified as the sender in XI Configuration (Integration Directory).
Also, check your config with the blog mentioned below:
<a href="/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit">/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit</a>

Hi All
I have set up the connection for Integration builder in R-3.
In sproxy I am able to see inbound and outboud interfaces, I have generated the class for th outbound interface and configured default logical port for the same.
The report is as follows:
REPORT ZAK_TEST_PROXY.
DATA:
Reference variables for proxy and exception class
lo_clientProxy TYPE REF TO ZCO_EMPLOYEE_MASTER_DAT,
lo_sys_exception TYPE REF TO cx_ai_system_fault,
Structures to set and get message content

 ls_response TYPE ZEMPLOYEE_MASTER_DAT360.
 Instantiate your client proxy.
TRY.
create proxy client
 CREATE OBJECT lo_clientProxy.
 ( LOGICAL_PORT_NAME )
*LOGICAL_PORT_NAME is the name of the logical port that you want to use, which is used to define the receiver. You can omit this parameter if you are using a default port or the XI runtime.
 To send a message, call the corresponding client proxy method. WSDL allows several such methods (specified by the element <operation>). In XI, there is only one method, with the default name EXECUTE_SYNCHRONOUS or EXECUTE_ASYNCHRONOUS. Catch at
*least the exception cx_ai_system_fault:
do synchronous client proxy call
 CALL METHOD lo_clientProxy->execute_synchronous
 EXPORTING output = ls_request
 IMPORTING input = ls_response.
 CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO lo_sys_exception.

RFC Adapter not Call

Hello Friends,
I am working on XI 2.0
My Scenario is
IDOC --> XI --> RFC Adapter --> R/3 System
I am configuring the RFC adapter for the SAP system.
But when I am able to try to call using the Integration Engine its not call the RFC adapter.
I define the end point as
RFC Adapter
(X) Load Balancing Deactivated
Application Server -- <host name>
System Number -- 00
When I run the scenario it show me in the sm58 transaction as
Connection Close (no Data)
And in the SXMB_MONI Transaction it shows
A. Status as Green Flag means Message schedule on outbound side.
So can you please identify and suggest me the solution or what else configuration is required.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav Jain

HI Anulraja,
Your Adapter Engine searches the pipeline url of the integration engine from the SLD.
Check the Bussiness System in Sld , which you'll have defined for XI Server.
It should have ROLE : Integration Server And
pipeline url: http://ux0800:55300/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
should be this if your http port is 55300.
Check if this url is right in SLD-Bussiness System.
You can check the exact http port in transaction sxmb_adm.
Go to Integration engine configuration and then click on check icon(F7).
It should match with that provided in the BS in SLD.
By default it should be 8000.
Check all these things and then try.

Yomesh

RFC Adapter - Where to Register Rfc2XmbService (Sender System or XI ?)

Experts,
I have the following scenario:
R3 --> RFC_ADAPTER --> XI --> SOAP --> THIRD_PARTY
My specific question is, In which system do I need to register the Rfc2XmbService program. Is this done in the R3 system or in the XI system.
If it is done in the R3 system then where is it done cause there is no J2EE administration tool in R3.
Could someone explain exactly what this registration concept is.
Thanks and appreciate any help in advance.
- Ravi
--- I have figured this one out already. The program needs to be registered in XI and Not the sender system.
Thanks
Message was edited by: ravi kumar

Hello,
the Rfc2XmbService registers itself when you activate the RFC adapter in the Configuration but you can preallocate it through the Visual Admin.
Further by default are logging for sync calls not enabled, e.g. you don't see anything in SXMB_MONI.
Therefore go to SXMB_ADM and the Integration Configuration option and under the RUNTIME specific option create an entry for
RUNTIME LOGGING_SYNC 1 (0 is default).
Also make sure that the rfc adapter is activate in the AdapterFramework overview. On the target system call transaction SMGW and go to logged on clients to see if you see the Rfc2Xmb Service. Then in SM59 of the R/3 system you should have an entry pointing to the Rfc2Xmb service and a test should give you an idea if it works.
I'm doing R/3 4.6c -> XI 3.0 -> R/3 Enterprise about 20 BAPIs, no issue.
I hope this helps.

Sender RFC adapter Error- request was null while trying to extract it.

Hi All,
I have a scenario running in Production(PI 7.0 system) where SAP ECC sends RFC request through sender RFC adapter. The scenario was working fine but now I am getting the below error in default trace and I couldn't see any error in communication channel monitoring.
java.lang.Exception: RfcServer[BAS_ECC_RFC_Snd]1[AFSenderD] request was <null> while trying to extract it.
I have gone through the below thread and performed a full cache refresh but it didn't help :
[NULL]
I have gone through SAP note:730870 and I couldn't get any help on this error. Can you please suggest your ideas to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Laawanya

Hi Lawanya,
Check you RFC and input data , whether the RFC call is able to get the data from ECC or not.
you can test the same RFC in ECC with input data and you can check whether the RFC in ECC is return the value or not.
I gues in your case the RFC in ECC is not return any data to PI.

Sender RFC adapter - Tight coupling to an SAP client

Hi ,
We are using a sender RFC adapter to receive a RFC request from SAP , process the request in XI and then send back a response to SAP.
Our requirement is that , this request may come from different SAP clients(client 100, 130 , 200 etc). Looks like RFC adapter configured under a Business System in XI cannot listen to calls from multiple clients and works for only one client. We get dumps in SAP when invoking this RFC from other clients.
Also i hear that the same program id cannot be used in two different RFC sender adapters, meaning i have to create a different RFC destination , create a different program id for each client in SAP.
Is there a way around for this issue ?
Thanks
Saravana

Hi Saravana,
you may try a little workaround:
configure your rfc adapter only with client 100
and try invoking RFC from clients: 130 , 200
on the client 100 first (with a dummy RFC on client 100)
and then from this dummy RFC on client 100 you can start your standard RFC with your rfc adapter
don't know any other way:)

michal
