Special characters in sender soap adapter provoke HTTP 500 error

Hi,
SAP R3 is sending a SOAP message to PI through SOAP adapter.
When the payload does NOT contain german characters like ü, it works fine.
However, when the payload DOES contain special characters, the SOAP adapter replies with an HTTP 500 code error.
If I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
- Make sure that SAP R3 sends the message in UTF-8 format (I think this is happening currently), as if SoapUI works, then probably R3 is not using UTF-8.
- Force the adapter to use UTF-8. Is this possible? In the sender SOAP adapter I've added AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean (type local EB), and then Transform.ContentType for parameter name and --> text/plain;charset=utf-8 for parameter value. The sender adapter will fail then for every message, with or without special characters.
Anyway, in this link (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/a4/f13341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) it seems to say that the sender soap adapter cannot be extended with modules, so maybe that's the reason why it fails when trying to add a module.
Thanks

If I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
Check the use of option 1 ..... the URL which SAP is using to send the data can containe the encoding information.
Check this SAP note: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/856597
From the above note:
Q: What character encoding is supported by the SOAP sender adapter?
+you can supply the encoding information with the xmlenc variable in the request URL as in+

Error using Sender SOAP adapter over HTTPS

Hi experts,
Few weeks ago, i developed an interface as follows: SOAP <-> XI <-> RFC.
I tested the functionality using Altova and everything went well, with HTTP.
However, when i use HTTPS it fails throwing these error messages (pop ups):
<i>"HTTP error: could not post file"......
"Error sending the soap data"</i>
I have reviewed the SSL certificates installation and everything seems to be ok, but currently i am stuck and do not know how to fix this.
I have also change the ID comm channel from HTTP to HTTPS with client aut.
Is there any special service i have to activate? (XI services and SPIGATE are already done)
Could you please assist?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
David

Sender SOAP Adapter with HTTPs call

Hello,
Our scenarion is .. we will have a sender SOAP adater .. but it needs to be called using HTTPs(SSL).
Now considering we have the certificate generated and installed ..and that integration server is HTTPs enabled....What URL should the sending system call..?
For normal HTTP call the inbound address for inbound Adapter is: http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel
For the case of HTTPs just changing the htttp to https and the port number in in the calling system will suffice? Or is there other configurations that needs to be done??
Thanks and Regards,
Himadri

Hi Himadri,
Firstly as suggested by others you can call using https and give the https port in the soap adapter servler URL. Secondly you need to do the following configurations:
1) If its PI 7.0/3.0, deploy the latest version of the SAP Java cryptography toolkit.
2) Configure SAP PI as the server for HTTPS calls. In short
      Using the SSL Provider service:
                            a.      Select whether the J2EE Engine should:
                               ■      Request (but not require) that the user presents a client certificate for authentication.
                               ■      Require that client certificates are to be used for authentication.
                            b.      Import the CAu2019s root certificate into the Trusted Certification Authorities list. (Choose Add.) using the following For all the steps, link is mentioned below for XI 3.0, you can find similar ones for PI 7.0
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/content.htm
3) If you want to enable client authentication then you would need to add the client certificate in the TrustedCA keystore view of the SAP J2EE engine.
4) In the SOAP Adapter sender channel, configure Inbound Security level as HTTPS or HTTPs with client authentication based on your scenario.

How to make call to Sender Soap Adapter using HTTPS with Client Aut

Hello everyone, I have spent some time trying to get this to work. We downloaded a trail certificate from SAP and installed it on our machine and I created a webservice that works great. I tested the HTTPS without client authentification and it works great, as soon as I change it to use with Client Authentification I can't get it to go through. I am using Soap Sonar to test the certificates. To get the certificate I called the url with firefox then saved the certificate in my trust store, from there I import it to soap sonar as a signed certificate, but I am getting the error <Exception>Object contains only the public half of a key pair. A private key must also be provided.</Exception> I assume I am doing something way wrong, is there a way to get the certificate with both public and private key pair, or a way to test this that I can't seem to find in documentation or blogs?
I def award points

Handling Special characters in sender JMS adapter

Hello All,
I have a scenario where I am getting a value in the payload with special chacters for e.g. "OBS! via JMS Sender adapter, but when this value comes to integration engine, it gets converted into something like this <A&B' . I tried using ISO 8859 charset in adapter module but that did not help. Would really appreciate your inputs.
Cheers
Abhimanyu

Yeah, it is weird.
I tried options from this guide but did not help. Moreover, this guide dosen't talk about JMS adapter. To be specific
this * <A&B' * gets converted to this * <A&B' *.

Enabling HTTPS with Client Authentication for Sender SOAP Adapter on PI7.1

Hello All,
We are currently building up a HTTPS message exchange with an external client.
Our PI 7.1 recieved over HTTPS messages on an already configured Sender SOAP Adapter.
The HTTPS (SSL) connectivity works fine and was completely configured on the ABAP Stack at Trust Manager (TC=STRUSTSSO2)
Login to Message Servlet "com.sap.aii.adapter.soap.web.MessageServlet is required and works fine with user ID and password.
Now we have to configure the addtional Client Authentication.
At SOAP Adapter (Sender Communication Channel) under "HTTP Security Level"you are able to configure "HTTPS with Client Authentication".
But what are the next steps to get this scenario successfully in place?
Many thanks in advance!
Jochen

Hi Colleagues,
following Steps still have to be done:
- Mapping public key to technical user at Java Stack
As preparation you have to activate value "ume.logon.allow.cert" with true under "com.sap.security.core.ume.service" under Config Tool. At NWA under Identity Management at for repecively technical user the public key certificate
- Be sure CA root certivicate at Database under STRUSTSSO2
- Import intermediate Certificate under Certificate List at Trast Manager for the Respecive Server Note
- use Login Module "client_cert" which you have to configure under NWA\Configuration Management\Authentication for Components "sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.soap.app*XISOAPAdapter".
Many thanks to all for support!

Jochen

HTTPS sender soap adapter

Hi,
I want to use HTTPS port for one of our SOAP -->RFC sync interface .
currently we are using http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel this url and its working fine,
Here we want to use HTTPS ( HTTPS with client authentication as security level) ,but in our current PI system ( 7.31) is not enabled https/ports.
Please let me know how we can enable HTTPS port ,let me know the process.
once HTTPS port is enabled please let me know the process to use HTTPS with client authentication as security level)
Thanks
Surya

Hi Surya,
Base on your requirement ports like 433, 4022 etc as per availability to Trading partners.
Port mapping should be done in the firewall configuration as your web dispatcher port(This information can be obtained from your basis team / will be managed at the installation time / netweaver administration.)
80* series is for ABAP ports and 50* series i sfor JAVA port.

How to catch the sender SOAP adapter http response?

Hi eXperts,
I've a sender soap adapter opened to customer as webservice. When customers call this webservice, data is coming into XI and works fine. But the customer is complaining that the expected HTTP 200 response is not sent back to the calling SOAP client.
So my question is: Is there a way to catch the http 200 response from sender adapter, or at least get to know if the sender adapter has sent the response?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Luis

Hi,
If I understood it correcly... Sender is a Async SOAP call and the sender system is expcting a status back of HTTP 200. Are you sure you had set the quality of effort to Exactly Once? If not please try setting it.
You can also go to Adapter monitoring or Communication channel monitoring in the Runtime workbench and see if the Sender SOAP adapter is fine.

Sender SOAP Adapter: zipped Payload or zipped Attachement possible?

Hi,
I've a SOAP --> PI --> Proxy Scenario. As the payload of the message can become quite huge (around 10MB), I'd like to zip the message.
From the documentation it's not clear for me if the Sender SOAP Adapter can be enhanced with the standard PayloadZipBean:
"You cannot add your own modules to this adapter" --> so is it possible to use modules provided by SAP?
If it's not possible: is there another way to send the message zipped via SOAP, e.g. as a additional attachement to the SOAP message, and to unzip the attachement / use the content of it as message payload for mapping?
Please note: usage of SOAP is a must for that scenario.
Best regards
Holger

> File size is a question due to limited network speed between sender and PI. If I can reduce the data package to be transferred, it'd be a big help. Therefore I'd like to zip the message.
In this case it would be sufficient to use Content-Encoding gzip.
This is part of the HTTP protocol and will be unzipped automatically by the HTTP framework, so you need not do anything special in SOAP adapter.
See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.11
Check if your SOAP client is able to use that.

SMIME in sender soap adapter

Hi,
I'd like to know the proper format of the POST request to a sender soap adapter with SMIME activated. I've found almost no documentation about it.
I'm trying to send a document ciphered to PI via soap adapter (HTTP POST). I've done the following steps
1. I activate SMIME in the sender soap adapter, and I specify "Decrypt" as the security procedure in the sender agreement. I also incorporate the private key in the keystore DEFAULT and reference to it in the sender agreement.
2. I use OpenSSL to cipher an xml document like this (I use the public certificate associated to the previous private key) :
--> openssl smime -encrypt -in fich.txt -out fich_encrypted.txt certTesting.pem
What I get is:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7m"
Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data; name="smime.p7m"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIIC....[base64 content of the file encrypted]
3. I use CURL to send the HTTP POST request to PI. Previously I get the binary file from the base64 content.
> POST /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?senderParty=&senderService=BC_1[...]
> Authorization: Basic c2U[...]
> Host: pi.[...].com:50000
> Accept: /
> Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime; smime-type=enveloped-data; name=fich_encrypted.der
> User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
> Accept-Encoding: text/xml
> Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=fich_encrypted.der
> Content-Length: 620
> Expect: 100-continue
but I get this error from the SOAP Adapter:
--> java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: APPLICATION/PKCS7-MIME.
I also get the same error if I remove the header Content-Disposition.
4. If I send the xml file without ciphering (header Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8) I get the error:
com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: SOAP: call failed: java.lang.SecurityException: Exception in Method: VerifySMIME.run(). LocalizedMessage: SecurityException in method: verifySMIME( MessageContext, CPALookupObject ). Message: IllegalArgumentException in method: verifyEnvelopedData( ISsfProfile ). Wrong Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8. *Expected Content-Type: application/pkcs7-mime or application/x-pkcs7-mime*. Please verify your configuration and partner agreement
PROBLEM --> I really don't know what the SOAP sender channel is expecting when SMIME is activated. I've tried to send the binary file encripted as an attachment and also directly, but the soap adapter complains.
Thanks

How to use Basis Authentication in Sender SOAP Adapter

We implemented one Sender SOAP Adapter and we had to implement the modified WEB.XML method to remove the security specification. We have now asked the developer to correct this situation so we can remove this modification. The Interface developer would like to use Basic Authentication. If you have an automated interface sending in a SOAP Message, how do you do Basic Authentication?
I've tried using:
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<Service>:<Channel>&sap-user=xiappluser&sap-password=<Password>&sap-language=EN&sap-client=<Client>
When I do this, I still get the Authentication Pop-Up Window.
How does the Sending Interface either supply the ID and Password on the incoming SOAP Message or respond to the Authentication Pop-Up?
Thanks,
Anne

By Defualt the web service exposed by you will use Basic Authentication mode only.
But the way you do Basic Authentication in the web client is platfrom dependent.
This is not the way to do Basic authentication
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<Service>:<Channel>&sap-user=xiappluser&sap-password=<Password>&sap-language=EN&sap-client=<Client>
I am providing you a code snippet on how to Basic Authentication in Java when making the Web Service Call.
If the client is on some other platform just look for the corresponding api.
Please award points if you find this answer useful.
Code Snippet
URL url = new URL(URL);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
if( connection instanceof HttpURLConnection )
((HttpURLConnection)connection).setRequestMethod("POST");
     //connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length",Integer.toString(content.length()) );
     connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml");
     connection.setDoOutput(true);
     String password = User + ":" + Password ;
      //Where con is a URLConnection

ADAPTER.HTTP_EXCEPTION, HTTP 500 Internal Server Error, in Receiver soap A

Greetings All,
In my scenario i am calling external service of SFDC using receiver soap adapter but i am facing below error in the response.
ADAPTER.HTTP_EXCEPTION, HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
I am creating the soap structure/envelope using Java mapping since need to add additional parameter in soap header.
I am setting the URL in java UDF using parameter TServerLocation.
In comm channel checked "do not use soap envlope" also set the format to text/xml using MessageTransformBean.
The service was working fine when tested in SoapUI tool.
Looking forword for your help and will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sandip

Hello Sandip, I hope you are doing fine!
I`m not sure if you are using a sync or async scenario...
The behavior that you describe is the expected behavior for SOAP receiver adapter in nosoap mode, asynchronous case.
The explanation that lies behind it is that in nosoap mode the bahavior is just similar to pure HTTP communication. An HTTP 4/5 error received from the target server is treated as HTTP internal error and logged into AFW as an error. The message in an asynchronous scenario without acknowledgements is normally seen as successful on IE side as it is successfully sent to the target system. It can be even successfully consumed by the target webservice, but for amo other reason, the HTTP request from SAP PI to the target system returns HTTP 500 error.
If you ask for system delivery acknowledgements, you should get a non-successful delivery acknowledgement.
In synchrnous scenarios, when a response is expected, the behavior is different.
If this is a sync scenario, there is an official patch released on the service marketplace. SAP Note 1533195 is released.
In addition to deploying the patch, apply the additional configuration steps. As per this note, for the default module
sap.com/com.sap.aii.af.soapadapter/XISOAPAdapterBean
you will need to set:
Module Key = soap
Parameter Name = noSOAPMakeSysErrFromResponseFault
Parameter Value = false
If you need to bypass the HTTP errors in the communication with the target system, you need to apply note 1055678.
To apply it, just add for the default module
sap.com/com.sap.aii.af.soapadapter/XISOAPAdapterBean in your receiver
channel, Modules tab the following:
Module Key = soap
Parameter Name = XMBWS.NoSOAPIgnoreStatusCode
Parameter Value = false
If you need any SOAP fault related behavior or any other SOAP related feature, you should setup the channel to run normal SOAP mode, since as already mentioned nosoap mode is used now.
In addition, check note:
856597 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 SOAP Adapter
section "1. Sender Connection"
Q: I get a server error "500 Internal Servler Error" from the
adapter's servlet. What went wrong?
and get the trace to give you more details of the error.
One more thing, VERY IMPORTANT.
I STRONLGY recommend you to update all XI-PI components to latest patch available in the Service Marketplace. Thery are:
XITOOLS, XIESR, XIAF, XIAFC, MESSAGING, XIGUI. Some of them might not be present depending on the release of you system. e.g: 3.0, 7.0, 7.1
I hope this helps you.

WSRM Adapter replaced with soap in PO7.4. Getting error "Response message contains an errorXIAdapter/HTTP/ADAPTER.HTTP_EXCEPTION - HTTP 500 Internal Server Error"

Hello All,
We have scenario proxy->pi->webservice. In older versions of PI system they used wsrm adapter at receiver side and it's working fine.
Receiver interface is asynchronous. So no response structute is present and receiver service is business component(since receiver is a third party).
During migration, we have replaced the receiver adapter with SOAP adapter and used message protocol as SOAP 1.1 but the message is failing and in communication channel it is showing error "Response message contains an errorXIAdapter/HTTP/ADAPTER.HTTP_EXCEPTION - HTTP 500 Internal Server Error". In this case the receiver interface is stateless xi 3.0 compatible(re using the old), after changing it to just stateless also issue persists.
In target url field if i prefix the url with "http" then above mentioned error is occurring otherwise if i use the hostname:port/path.. then it is giving error
"soap: Call failed: com.sap.aii.af.sdk.xi.srt.BubbleException: Unsupported protocol". So maintaing the url as http://hostname:port/pat.....
As in old channel wsrm channel there is no userid and password, i haven't given any userid/pwd in receiver channel.
used the bean sap.com/com.sap.aii.af.soapadapter/XISOAPAdapterBean with parameters
Module Key = soap
Parameter Name = noSOAPMakeSysErrFromResponseFault
Parameter Value = false
and
xmbws.No SOAPIgnoreStatus = true
but not successful.
Please help me. I got stcuk here.

Hello Jannus,
The connectivity is working fine. Network team has confirmed it. I doubt that any strucutre(header) difference might be present in message when sending with wsrm adapter compared to sending with soap adapter.
Please let me know the exact difference between soap and wsrm functionality in receiving end.
By considering the structure issue, i have checked the "do not use soap envelope" check box, then i got error "Response message contains an errorXIAdapter/HTTP/ADAPTER.HTTP_EXCEPTION - HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type"
Then i used message transform bean, but not successful.

Ch.Venkat.
