SOAP ACTION IN SOAP ADAPTER and PROGRAM IF IN RFC COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

Hi Gurus,
Please Explain me what is SOAP action in soap adapter what is the use of it.
What is the Program ID in the RFC communication channel and what is the use of it.
Please tell me in Detail.
Thanks and Regards,
RAM.

Hi,
Please Explain me what is SOAP action in soap adapter what is the use of it.
As of W3C definition:
The SOAPAction HTTP request header field can be used to indicate the intent of the SOAP HTTP request. The value is a URI identifying the intent. SOAP places no restrictions on the format or specificity of the URI or that it is resolvable. An HTTP client MUST use this header field when issuing a SOAP HTTP Request.
The presence and content of the SOAPAction header field can be used by servers such as firewalls to appropriately filter SOAP request messages in HTTP. The header field value of empty string ("") means that the intent of the SOAP message is provided by the HTTP Request-URI. No value means that there is no indication of the intent of the message.
Putting things simple, this is an identifier of an operation that you want to execute in the web service (as one web service can offer multiple actions).
What is the Program ID in the RFC communication channel and what is the use of it.
Again, this is an identifier for both: RFC sender and receiver systems. It tells the receiver where to listen for connections, and the sender - where to send the data. It works a little bit like a port number in HTTP communication, but with less restrictions.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Blank SOAP Action in Soap Request- Portal Service calling Web Service

Hi
I'm trying to access an Web Service through a client portal service which was generated by NWDS. I called this service from a basic component and tried to execute the WS function after populating all the needed fields. When I started the component I encountered the following error.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The SOAP Action "" include in the soap request not corresponding to the Portal service method..
I initially thought it was because I was downloading the WSDL to my local and using that in the portal service generation. Maybe not all the information about the web service was being obtained. I tried it again after generating the portal service from the WSDL online but still obtained the same error.
Any insight on what's causing the error would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dear expert.
i got the same problem with Reyes. anyone can solve this issue?
thank in advance.

Calling Soap Action in Soap Receiver

Hi ALL,
I have a requirement where i have a WSDL file which contains multiple actions and multiple Soap Action Parameters ,
whereas i need to combine all the Soap action Parameters into single SOAP Parameter and call it in my SOAP action parameter at the receiver side
of the SOAP.
Please guide me how to achieve this.

Hi,
If you mean setting it dynamically, yes, it is possible. The technical name for soap action in dynamic configuration is THeaderSOAPACTION with namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_em900/helpdata/en/48/327519a3af58d8e10000000a421937/frameset.htm

Program Id in RFC sender channel

Hi Experts,
Can the same Program ID be used in 2 different RFC sender channels? I do not want to use the existing RFC sender channel. Please le me know.
Thanks
Suma

Hello.
I can't understand what are you trying to implement here, but here is the correct way to work with RFC CC
1. every sender CC should have the XI as the gateway server. the program ID is then registered on the xi server.
2. If you want to call the same interface from different ECC systems, you will create an RFC destination in each of them, containing the XI as the gateway and the same program ID. in that case you fill the RFC Metadata Repository Parameter with one of the ECC systems (as the RFC have the same metadata in both servers - it doesn't matter which one is written there) look here for more information: [Configuring the Sender RFC Adapter |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/EN/67/6d0540ba5ee569e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]" and focus on the sentence: "The RFC metadata repository parameters identify the SAP system containing the repository for the RFC metadata. This does not necessarily have to be the sender system" (:
3. If you want to use different interfaces - you will use 2 program IDs, 2 sender channels, 2 sender agreements.
hope it helps.

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
Anand

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

Praveen,
You need to import SAP BASIS Software Component Version into Integration Repository.
You need to download it from service market place.

In Search Term Enter "SAP BASIS <version>".
Now click on XI CONTENT SAP_BASIS 7.00 -

No Adapter Metadata when trying to creating communication channel.

Hi experts,
I am using a new setup of Netweaver 2004S - PI 7.0.
I created a communication channel (File Sender).
When I tried to define the Adapter Type, there is no Adapter Metadata to pick from pop up window!
I've read other threads and they suggest that some imports (SWCV SAP BASIS) needs to be made in the IR.
I've checked my settings using Transaction Code -SPAM, under package level:
Component: SAP_BASIS
Software Component Release: 700
Level: 0010
Support Package: SAPKB70010
Short Description: SAP Basis Component
Software Package Type: Basis Support Pkg
Did I miss out anything?
What package do I need to download and how do I verify I've installed them correctly?
Please help.
Thanks
Ron

Hi all,
Thank you for all your kind responses so far.
I have one last question - Where can I download the SWCV SAP BASIS patch from?
I logged in to ServiceMarketPlace with my company partner ID and follow these links:
SAP Support Portal -->
Downloads (Tab) -->
SAP Support Packages (Tab) -->
SAP Support Package Stacks (Left Hand Menu) -->
SAP Netweaver 2004s -->
A configuration tree is shown. I choose "SAP IGS 7.00 for Process Integration (PI/XI), J2EE Adapter Engine (PI/XI)..." -->
Check Windows Server on IA32 32 bit --> "No Support Packages found."
My PI is running on Windows Server 2003, with a MaxDB installation.
As you can see I'm very new to the SAP environment, so please bear with me for my ignorant questions.
Thank you.
Ron

Hi,
for what i know, MSDAORA provider doesn't support Oracle data types introduced since <font face="tahoma,verdana,sans-serif" size="1" color="#000">version</font> 8, as CLOB, BLOB and so on, so i think that it uses varchar2 up to the 4k limits and then causes this error.
Have you tried with the OraOLEDB.Oracle.1 provider instead?Nice writing, Thanks for your explanation!

Same sender and receiver service but different communication channel

Hi Exoerts
I am doing a scenario Proxy to JMS,HTTP and SOAP Adapter ( everything resides in the same recieiver service )
Mesage from SRM System ( proxy ) has to sent to MQ service. But in MQ I have to pass to the same message to three different nodes namely - JMS, HTTP and SOAP Adapter.
I tried to configure Multiple receivers in the receiver determination. Its doesn't allow add the same service.
Even if i configured with Multiple services for each nodes - its not allowing to create receiver detemination. It says already exits
Please tell me fesible solution how to deisgn this
Thanks
Faheem

you need to use only one receiver determination in your case...do not add the receivers
u can have 3 different interface determinations and in each case the sender / receiver / outbound interface will be the same ..
only the inbound interface will change ....so u will have 3 inbound interfaces ..
3 receiver communcation channels for 3 adapters and of course 3 receiver agreements

Could not forward to JCA adapter : putting .jpg image failed : receiver communication channel

hello all,
i have a FTP to SFTP scenario for posting photos from my FTP server to other SFTP server
its successfully posting an .xml to the SFTP server but not able to post the .jpg image
attached is my audit log for my adapter
regards,
sushant

Hi Sushant
May be you are using a name for the image which is much longer than the name length expected by SFTP adapter.
Use a shorter name and send the file, see if that works or not.Remove the * from the file name.

Receiver Soap Adapter and multipart messages

Dear SAP XI experts.
I have a scenario where I should create multipart message in an integration process and send it to a receiver using soap adapter. Is it possible to have two message types, one for main payload and one for attachment?
In my case I know I have to switch on 'Do Not Use Soap Envelope' and 'Keep Attachments' parameters in communication channel configurations. Anything else needed in this side? For example in Adapter Module configurations?
Is this scenario: To create multipart message in an integration process and to send it using receiver soap adapter, possible at all?

Hi,
>>>>In my case I know I have to switch on 'Do Not Use Soap Envelope' and 'Keep Attachments' parameters in communication channel configurations. Anything else needed in this side? For example in Adapter Module configurations?
check question:
My web service expects a SOAP with multiple elements in the SOAP body. How can I create such SOAP message?

How to call Function through Soap Action

Hi all,
I have a Receiver communication channel in PI that sends data to from the interface to Oracle Webservice.
At that moment a function should be called with two constant parameters and the third one is the xml with all the data.
updateExchangeRates("CJV", "connector", ratesXML)
xml schema:
Anyone knows if it is possible to call that function in PI soap action and how should I do it?
I've tested soap action with
updateExchangeRates("CJV", "connector", list_wrapper)
and got the error:
invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 401 Unauthorized
Thnaks in advance,
