SOAP Receiver Adapter Proxy Settings

Hi Guys,
I am trying to send a SOAP message to an external webservice. I was able to get the message to arrive at the webservice when I used a proxy without user authenication.
I now need to get the SOAP adapter to use a proxy with user authenication. I have added the username and password on the communication channel, but I keep getting the following response error:
com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML
Has anyone got a suggestion as to how I may go about fixing this problem? Is there somewhere else that I need to configure the proxy server and user to allow the SOAP Receiver to send a message out?
Thanks very much,
Miguel

Hi Abhy,
I have checked the settings and they appear to be correct according to the help files.
I know that it has something to do with the authenication in the proxy server because the only thing that I have changed is the proxy server from a server that required no authenication to one that requires authentication. I have added the username and password and am getting this error.
According to the sap help, it is either a wrong target URL or invalid authentication. But the url worked previously, so it is definitely something to do with the authenication.
I have added this info on the communication channel. Is there somewhere else that I should add the proxy settings?
Thanks,
Miguel

SOAP : Receiver Adapter Security Settings in VA

Hi,
In the RFC to Webservice, synchronus scenario, I am getting HTTP 401 Unauthorized error.
I would like to know, do I need any extra security settings for the receiver SOAP Adapter in the Visual Administartor?
I configured proxy and comm channel, they are fine. Like the sender adapter, if I need any extra security settings please let me know.
Thanks &
Raj.

Hi Raj,
Check this SAP note-856597

SOAP RECEIVER ADAPTER --Security settings

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I need to communicate with a synchronous webservice with receiver SOAP Adapter. The standard also recommends the use of certificates to authenticate the server (Target Webservice) to the client (XI). How do I proceed with this? The Recever Webservice provider has provided a ssl certificate to use.
Whats the standard approach to be followed at Visual admin and the steps at recever communication channel and receiver agreement?
Thx in advance
Rachit

Hi Ravi,
Could you please tell what certificates are required for my Receiver SOAP synchronous scenario and from whom do I get the certificates?
Is the Webservice provider who will provide me the certificate which I need to install on XI server and call it in Communication channel..Configure certificate authentication.? What exact certificates I need to ask him to provide?
Or from XI I need to generate the certificates and provide to the webservice provider to install on his webserver?
At present I am getting the following error:

SOAP Receiver adapter with attachments not working

Hello,
I have a simple synchronous scenario like this; ABAP proxy with attachments to SOAP with attachments.
The SOAP receiver adapter has been configured with the parameters 'Do not Use SOAP envelope' and 'Keep attachments'. We create our own SOAP envelope with custom SOAP headers, so that's the reason for the 'Do not use SOAP envelope' setting.
When we test the scenario with an attachment then we get a timeout from PI. However, when we test the same scenario without any attachment then no errors occur.
The external webservice has also been tested with SOAP UI and it works fine.
Do you have any clues what the problem can be? What are we still missing in the configuration?
We did try with the adapter modules such as PayloadSwapBean and the Message TransformBean, so far without success...
Many thanks.
Roberto

Hi Stefan,
The attachments are not really big, around 150KB.
According to the other party (Oracle Service Bus) no messages with attachments have been received. In fact it seems like those messages never leave the PI server. SOAP requests without attachments are processed successfully.
Thanks
Roberto

Problem in testing SOAP receiver adapter using SOAP UI

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to test my SOAP receiver adapter as mentioned in the blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/21844. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] But, my request from ECC proxy keeps failing in XI communcation channel monitor. I've configured my receiver adapter http://ip:8080/mockSoapHTTPBinding and kept the authentication as NONE. Can any of you suggest?
ip - is my system ip shown in ipconfig.
mockSoapHTTPBinding - is the path.
Thanks.

What is the error of the messages? Are the messages leaving the SOAP adapter?
Please try both:
1. Go to Runtime Workbench -> Component Monitoring -> Adapter Engine -> Test message. Then, execute the message directly without the intermediate of the Proxy sender. This will allow you to check only the receiver SOAP.
2. Please use the TCPGateway tool attached from the note below. It will be a "man-in-the-middle" between the target WS and the Receiver SOAP channel, tracking the whole HTTP/SOAP message. Check if the message is well-formed.
[Note 856597 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 SOAP Adapter|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1wdCZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=856597]

SOAP Receiver Adapter (Asynchronous Call)

Hi All,
Scenario is Proxy to Webservice asynchronous call.
Scenario configuration is done as follows.
1) Imported the WSDL and using as a asynchronous inbound interface.
2) SOAP receiver channel is configured with the target URL & soapAction as given in the WSDL as (soap address & soap Action).
3) Configured the proxy server details as required.
SOAP channel is successfully sending the message to the application as DLVD.
But the issue is target application not receiving the data. What could be the reason ? I am wondering , i have tried with the external tool like Altova XML Spy & SOAP UI sending data to the webservice & it's working fine.
Please suggest me if anything which can help to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Ashwin

In this case you can do the following:
1. start your tcpmon or TCPGateway, add there a listener e.g. on port 9090
2. configure the target URL in TCPGateway for this listener
3. configure the target URL in your XI SOAP Receiver Adapter to http://<ip of TCPGateway>:9090
4. now execute the scenario again in XI
(make sure XI can reach your TCP Gateway, e.g. check Proxy)
I have used this method successfully for error tracking. In some cases it is necessary to add 2 listeners in TCPGateway and route e.g. 9090 to 9191 and from there to the end (I did not analyse why).
Then you will be able to see what XI is really sending and you will see the full response from the partner side. You can then compare the XI request data with those which are sent via soapUI. This should give a clue about the problem.

HTTPS config in SOAP receiver adapter ?

Hi Guys,
I have configured the soap receiver adapter with the URL
*https://xxxx.abcd.com/xyzv/bbbb.asmx with the user authentication *
I have tested the url and the user and pw in the browser and they are working fine but the messages are failing the soap receiver adapter with the 401 unautorized error as the message from the Audit log in the RWB.
Delivery of the message to the application using connection SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 401 Unauthorized: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 401 Unauthorized. Setting message to status failed.
Do i need to configure the Java Stack for HTTPS ? The communicaion is between the XI system and a third part system internally.
any help would be appreciated ?
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Guys,
I have solved the problem and NTLM works with PI 7.0 but we need to configure soap axis adapter
The Windows NTLM authentication is supported by Axis's CommonsHTTPSender handler and consequently it is supported by the Axis adapter's corresponding handler com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender. Read about How Can I use CommonsHTTPSender as the transport handler? if CommonsHTTPSender is not enabled on your system. Once it is enabled, you can use com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender instead of default com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.HTTPSender as the transport handler in the module configuration and set the authentication setting to NTLM and enter usename as domain\username in the channel configuration
To use CommonsHTTPHandler, the optional Jakarta-Commons-Net, Jakarta-Commons-HttpClient, Jakarta-Commons-Codec libraries are required. Make sure that these libraries are available for the Axis adapter at the deployment check page If these components are not available, you will need to include the corresponding jar files (commons-codec-1.3.jar, commons-httpclient-3.0.jar, and commons-net-1.0.0-dev.jar from the Axis 1.4 release) in aii_af_axisprovider.sda and deploy this archive (see How to prepare aii_af_axisprovider.sda?).
The provider.xml file must include the jar-name entries for these jar files, as shown in:
    <jars>
       <jar-name>commons-net-1.0.0-dev.jar</jar-name>
       <jar-name>commons-codec-1.3.jar</jar-name>
       <jar-name>commons-httpclient-3.0.jar</jar-name>
    </jars>
Once you do all the above settings, NTLM works fine

SOAP receiver adapter for ASCII-7 characterset???

Hi,
Our scenario is Abap Proxy -> XI -> Web Services (SOAP Adapter). Receiver webservice will accept only the characterset of ASCII-7. But Abap Proxy will send only unicode characterset (default).
Any workaround for receiver SOAP adapter to accept ASCII-7 characterset?
Regards,
Prasad U

Hi -
You can set a specific encoding in the soap receiver channel module configuration. From the SOAP Adapter FAQ (Note 856597):
<i>         o Q: What character encoding is supported by the SOAP receiver
            adapter?
            A: The SOAP receiver adapter can use any character encoding
            supported by the local JDK. The request message from the SOAP
            receiver is normally encoded in UTF-8. If you want to change this
            encoding, for instance to iso-8859-1, you can set parameter
            XMBWS.XMLEncoding to iso-8859-1 in the module configuration for
            the SOAP adapter module. This setting is for the outgoing SOAP
            message and has no effect on the incoming SOAP message. For the
            incoming SOAP message, any code page supported by the local JDK
            is accepted.</i>
Check the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d23cbe11-0d01-0010-5287-873a22024f79">How to Use the XI 3.0 SOAP Adapter</a> document for an example.

Can't create a new SOAP receiver adapter

Hi,
I configure a new SOAP receiver adapter in the integration directory and activate the adapter.
When I send trough XI a message to this communication adapter an error occurs in the defaultTrace.trc :
failed to set up the adapter for channel .....;caused by java.lang.NullPointerException
No stacktrace.
I try to set the communication channel inactive and active and also restart the adapter engine but nothing works.
Do someone solve this problem ?
Regards,
Gerald

Hi Gerald,
Check the below and see if anything is missing/wrong
( may not be the exact order as below, but you need to reach the last one 'your adapter')
runtime workbench->component monitoring -> Integration Server -> adapter engine ->adapter monitoring (in status tab)-> Soap -> your adapter.
Do the same for your 'sender adpater' also
This may help to identify whats wrong in your settings
Hope this helps to fix your issue

Usage of Module processor in SOAP Receiver Adapter

Hi,
I have scenario where I am calling an external Web Service via XI. Unfortunately I need Java Mapping to generate the complete SOAP Message (there are some special header elements required by the Web Service) and flag 'no soap' in the SOAP Receiver Adapter. This works fine, but I have additional Web Service Calls that have the same Header logic and I don't want to use Java Mapping all the time.
I was wondering if it is possible to use graphical User Mapping for the Business Data that goes to the SAOP Body as a payload and use Java code to generate the SOAP Message (actually the SOAP Wrapper and the Header).
Can I do this in XI using the Module processor in the SOAP Receiver adapter or do I have to use two mappigs, one based on the Graphical mapping and another using Java Mapping? Is it feasible at all in XI?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can use Module Processor.
But,
1. If it is a synch call, in when the message is going from the SOAP adapter to the Webservice, you will need to manually Add the SOAP header as you want . ( you will need to create the entire SOAP mesage as the output of the Module ).
2. When the response comes back, the same module will need to remove the SOAP header etc and pass a valid , XML message to the Graphical mapping.
If you have a requirement that some fields of the SOAP header will be needed to be accesed in the Response mapping, then you would need to either add this field to some field in the response payload.
Better option would be to use, Either a Java or a XSL mapping that does all the required stuff for you.

Dynamic URL in SOAP Receiver adapter

Hi all,
I have a scenario where I am using a SOAP receiver adapter to send a cXML document to some vendors. I need to change the URL based on the vendor number (passed by sender SRM system). So I have created a user-defined function and used in message mapping to assign the right URL to the variable TServerLocation. But the communication channel still prompts for a static URL which appears to be a mandatory field. Even though the DynamicConfiguration tab in Message Monitoring shows that the TServerLocation was correctly assigned, the scenario does not work when I put some dummy in the static URL field like 'dummy' or '*'. Any ideas on how to make the communication channel go for the dynamic URL field and ignore the static URL field? I have already selected the'Use Adapter Specific Message attributes' and 'Variable Transport Binding' check boxes. Am I referring to the correct variable that references the target URL? Also other than the two checkboxes that I mentioned, I am not displayed anything else under "Adapter Specific Message Attributes" section in the comm. channel.
Thanks

James,
I ve just been digging into SAP help, and have tried it too ... Looks like it doesnt work the way it is supposed to.
Anotheer point i found was, in the FILE ADAPTER, when we say ADAPTER SPECIFI ATTRIBUTES , we can select the attirbutes.. This is not possible in a SOAP adapter...
Maybe, we can only access the ADAPTER SPECIIFC ATTIRIBUTES of a SOAP adapter, but cannot set them dynamically.
Let me know if you find something on this issue.

SOAP receiver adapter digest authentization

Hallo,
I have scenario with SOAP receiver adapter configured as follow:
Adapter Type: SOAP
Transport Protocol: HTTP
Message Protocol: SOAP 1.1
Adapter Engine: Integration Serer
Target URL: http://localhost:8099/webservices/test_v1_1_2
Configure User Authentication
User: ****
Pasword:****
but WS need digest HTTP authentication and SOAP adapter send in header Authentication: Basic.
Hou can I change authentication method for SOAP protocol?
Thx

Hallo,
I solved this problem by using AXIS framework. I hope that this short instruction help to someone.
1. In SOAP receiver CC you have to set up Transport Protocol to HTTP(AXIS) and Message protocol to AXIS
2. Now you can switch Authentication to Digest (NOW adapter will still send Basic!!! Digest Authorization is Supported only by the following handler: com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender)
3. On Module tabs in section Module configuration change type HTTPSender to CommonHTTPSender:
(trp handler.type java:com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender)
4. Save and Activate
Before you start to use AXIS framefork you have to deploy necessary library.
This thread help:
Re: How to install SOAP Axis adapter and where is it available ??
Be carefull, for digest authorization you have to linked Optional library "Jakarta-Commons HttpClient" too.
Good luck.
