Start/stop communication channel

hello,
does anyone know, if there is a way to stop and start a communication channel, other than setting it inactive or active in the integration builder ?
thanks,
Peter

Have to admit I am not much of a ABAP'er not a ABAP WD guy, but my way of building a solution would be;
1. Create a Webservice or ABAP report that can trigger the call to this URL.
2. The URL hit can be a HTTP Post / Get and hence this should be possible both from the ABAP world and from the java world.
I cannot give you the exact means to do it as my knowledge is limited but I don't see any reason as to why this should not be possible, as you just need to trigger a call to this url using Plain HTTP Get / Post.

Starting/Stoping Communication Channel programmatically

Hello Experts,
is there a way to stop/start PI communication channels programmatically?
maybe sending a message to a special interface or smth?
Best Regards,

Hello,
You can use Availability Time Planning Tool to schedule a start&stop of desired channels.

How can we stop communication channel at run time?

Hi,
I have a requirement where in we have to stop the JMS Sender communication channel in case the Receiver System is down. Could you please let me know how to stop the sender communication channel at run time.
Thanks
Rajeev Gupta

Rajeev,
Like Praveen Kumar said, I dont think there is an out of the box solution for this. But if you want to stop the communication channel, you could do it using a BPM.This solution is just something that came to my mind. It would be resource intensive to implement this. But here goes...
Try to make the call to the Receiver System a synchronous call and have an exception branch in the block which has the synchronous step type. So if the Receiver System is down you would get an error in the Sync Step Type and it would go to the exception branch.Try to make a HTTP call from BPM to stop the communication channel. The URL for the HTTP call could be what Matias Denker suggested. This would stop the communication channel. This solution might however have two disadvantage that i foresee.
1) It might stop the communication channel not only for system down but for any kind of synchronous error.
2) Starting the communication channel has to again be a whole different process.
Thanks

Stop communication channel after data delivery

Hi all,
I have a communication channel of type JDBC.
The channel should be started and stopped via external control.
The problem is that I don't know when the data transfer is completed in order to stop the channel.
Or is there a functionality that a communication channel is stopped automatically after running.
regards

My understanding is that you want to switch off the channel only after all the inserts have been done in DB, am I right?
There is a solution but an ugly one You have to send a response back from the DB claiming that the inserts are completed, this response message can be linked with your external control program which will end up in stopping the channel.
If you or anyone else come up with a better solution, please share with the forum.

Communication Channel Stop and Start

Hello everyone,
We are using XI along with MQ for queing messages to our 3rd party logistics. Due to some issues happened in the past, it is decided to stop and restart the MQ channels every weekend. Now the problem is, when the MQ is down, some of the XI communication channels will go down, and will not start automatically, when the MQ bounces back. Now this had created a manual activity every weekend to stop and start all communication channels.
Question is, is there any way we can schedule it as a job to stop and start the channels, at a specific time ?

Hi!
It is possible in scheduling the messages in XI...
1. But before doing this make sure that at what time you want to be schedule ?
2. Is that time will be uniform for every week or else is it may varies ?
3. If Uniform please make schedule or else if it is varying note the difference between those timings I mean
     If your Messages are flowing for every Tuesday and also every Thursday...., etc..
4. You can schedule what ever may be the time it is suppose if those timings are varying weekly once a
     day but in that single day or next day if it was more than once..then better scheduling the
      communication channels to be start for and to be process for that particular 2 days and remaining days
      it wont work I mean stopping Cc
5. Now when come to process...in scheduling...
a) Click RWB>Component Monitoring>Communication Channel monitoiing
b) Right side u can check Availability TIme planning option click that..a seperate window will opens
    THere u can observe these options..
c) also u can see the log
I hope it will be useful to you...
Availability plan--> ONCE /DIALY / WEEKLY/ MONTHLY based on your req select any one...
Create: to create the scheduling...
change: to change the existing one
Save: to save
Reset if u want toreset alll
Delete and copy also as u know these..
While creating you can again see these options 3 main TABS
details: --> Corresponding details
CC: select ur chanel
OPTION 2
In XI 3.O you can directly do scheduling there after selecting the radio button of any Comunication channel and there adjacent to Audit log u can see availability time plan other than rt side top corder..
I hope it will be useful to u

All Communication Channels stopped or startet when restart of the SAP-PI

is there any way to control the Communication Channels (to be startet or to be stopped during the next SAP-PI system start) while the SAP-PI is not running.
for a special data migration reason, we have stopped all Communication Channels except one Comm.channel.
after finishing the migration and for a backup, we shut down the SAP-PI system.
for the next SAP-PI system start, all of the Communication Channels should be run again.
is there any way to control (to be startet again for the next SAP-PI system start) the Communication Channels while the SAP-PI system is already shut down
or is the only possible way to start the SAP-PI system, and then manually start the needed Communication Channels.

Hi,
If you bring PI server down then all the channels will automatically stop and you can not control these channels when the server is down.You can again start these channels when the server is up and running.....

Start/Stop Channels Externally

Hi,
I have been looking at the blog /people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping to see how this is done. I can see from the blog that a PI interface has been developed.
I have ran the URL in a browser and get a 'Website cannot be displayed' error. I do not know what the cause of this is, whether the browser cannot parse the response, or the webservice is not called correctly. Could this problem be occuring if I do not have the relevant auth.
Is it possible to execute the URL directly from ABAP. Has anyone been able to do it. I presume this webservice does not have to be calledd via PI.
Is there a blog or anything other document which describes how this interface (with dynamic URL recevier) is configured in PI. I have searched and cannot find anything.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If your requirement is to Start/ Stop XI channels externally, do the following:
1. Select the specific channel in communication channel monitoring.
2. Select External Control On for this channel.
3. Use the following URL for accessing the channel based on what operation you need to perform:
a) START: http://<host>:<port>/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=<Party Name>&service=<Service Name>&channel=<Channel Name>&action=start
b) STOP: http://<host>:<port>/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=<Party Name>&service=<Service Name>&channel=<Channel Name>&action=stop
c) STATUS: http://<host>:<port>/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=<Party Name>&service=<Service Name>&channel=<Channel Name>&action=status
(Keep Party Name blank if there is no party involved in the scenario).
If you have a different requirement, I would request you to explain what you are looking for in more detail.

Sender FTP communication channel

Hi experts,
We have had the following problem twice with two different comm channels:
A sender FTP communication channel stops polling for no apparent reason. There were no errors and the status remained green. After I stopped and started the communication channel in the runtime workbench the adapter picked up all the remaining files and processing finished ok.
Anyone had this problem before? Any ideas for a solution?
Thx,
Philip

Yes you can write script and control the channels externally like give start or stop command at your specified requirement time.
Please see this link
Control Communication Channels Externally without using RWB
Also you can use wget or curl command in the script followed by http url string.
Example:
wget http(s)://host:port/AdapterFramework/ChannelAdminServlet?party=party&service=service&channel=channel&action=start

Communication Channel is not working

I have moved the design and configuration from quality XI server to product XI server. But when I start the Communication Channel in RWB, the LED is green, and I cannot get the log details at log area. The communication Channel is file adapter for FTP. The ftp file cannot be picked up. In fact, communication Channel is not executed. I have check SLD for product, software, business system and Technical system, no error is found. Anyone can tell me the reason about that?

Li,
Things to check:
1. If you have adopted the file based transportation approach then you will loose configuration channel related data .
you need to feed the data.
2. If you have adopted the CMS transportation approach, then case will be different
a) Try to ping the FTP server from XI Prod Server, it should ping .
b) If it is showing green it means it is able to locate the FTP server, kindly check the file name once again....
Let us know the scenario also and also how the scenario is behaving differently
Note : File Name is case sensitive 1.xml is different from 1.XML
