Creating Technical System while using SOAP adapter as sender

hello friends
When I create a business system and technical system in SLD for a sender using SOAP adapter, can i create it as Third-Party. Or do I need to create it as anything else in the list.
Also, when do we create Web AS Java technical systems. I need to know when this option becomes MUST.
Thanks in advance
Ram

Yes u can use third party business system and technical system for SOAP system. Business service can also b used for the same purpose.
U should use webAS Java system in case of Java Proxies

Connecting XI with other XI using SOAP adapter, is it possible?

Hi all,
I know that for connection between XIs is recommended using XI connectivity adapter. But I want to send/receive messages trough other XI outside of my network and Im thinking using SOAP adapter for effect. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Ricardo.

Yes, it is. But why? Both are SOAP messages based on HTTP.

When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?

Hi All,
For invoking a PL/SQL API(either a custom or System API) in Oracle Applications from BPEL Process which is better to use?When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?
Thanks,
ChitraDevi

As Sen correctly states for the DB adapter you have to set the context manually using the fun_global.apps_initilize or Fnd_Client_Info.SET_ORG_CONTEXT. This is usually done in a wrapper procedure.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert in this field as I have only used the APPS adapter for 11.5.10. I believe things have changed a bit for R12, but from my experience with APPS, things change very slow so although R12 is 10g App Server I'm sure the principles are the same.
Sen is also correct saying that base tables are not accessible via the APPS adapter. Basically the apps adapter is there to expose services, base tables are not services.
My recommendation would be different based on the experience of the developer(s). The APPS adapter simplifies the development but may not have the flexibility. The apps adapters sweet spot is those services that are difficult to integrate with, e.g. business services, xml gateway. If these are used heavily I would use the APPS adapter.
What I personally do, even if I'm not using APPS, if I'm connecting to the database I will implement a function, stored procedure, or AQ. It is a little more hassle during deployment, but it treats it more like a service and you are not impacted if the tables change. This is not an endorsement for you to go down this path because it does have a requirement to have PL/SQL knowledge, and it breaks the notion of service abstraction from the DB.

X61 Hang when not using AC adapter

X61 will hang (on the login page, sometimes when using the laptop halfway), when not using AC adapter.I've format the system, install drivers (system update) and application.
anyone encounter this issue?

I notice if I disable Atmel TPM (from Device Manager), the system works normal when not connect to AC adapter.
I did not have most of the Lenovo software installed. Only have System Update, Fingerprint software & Power Manager.
Will there be any issue if I disable the Atmel TPM ?

Need help in troubleshooting communication channel using soap adapter

Hello friends
I have a simple scenario.
I have created 2 communication channels, one for searching a record and another for updating it with a new value
Both uses SOAP as sender and RFC as receiver with a Standard BAPI.
Everything was working ok, but without any changes, all of a suddent I am not being able to update the values and when I checked RWB, I see for Update SOAP Adapter Channel, the messages say
Request received for a channel
but in a second it says 'Call Failed'.
I haven't made any changes.
I even tried restarting XI and ERP servers but still getting the same error.
Any suggestions or feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Problems when calling the SOAP adapter from a Webdynpro

Hi,
An error occurs in the SOAP adapter when sending a message from a Webdynpro client. I have downloaded the SAP Soap Client and made the same test and that works fine.

Hi Suraj
First I should mention that I have imported a generated WSDL from XI to create the Model and thus the port configuration. The URL looks like this:
http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?Version=3.0&Channel=:Telia_Kundservice_portal:Sender_SOAP&version=3.0&Sender.Service=Telia_Kundservice_portal&Interface=urn%3Aacandofrontec.se%2FTelia%2Ffaktura%5ETelia_faktura_4
Service = Telia_Kundservice_portal
Channel = Sender_SOAP
I've also tried with a modified shorter version which is also the one I'm using from the SAP SOAP client.
http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Telia_Kundservice_portal:Sender_SOAP
The actual call is a typical one:
wdContext.currentRequest_Faktura().modelObject().execute();
Before this call the Basic authentication (user/passw) is set.
Regards,
Hans

Not able to see Message Content while using SOAP Adapter

Hi freinds
I am working on following scenario
Web Application ---> SOAP Adapter ---> XI ---> RFC Adapter ---> SAP R/3
Web application is using the WSDL file which I generated from XI.
Now everything is going fine & I am even getting the XML data in SAP R/3 ( Order is getting created ) but in RWB under message monitoring I am getting " <b>Content of message deleted to save memory</b> " for message content.
Even in SXMB_MONI for that timeframe it is showing " <b>No messages available for selection</b> ".
Can you tell me why I am not getting the message content & the message itelf in SXMB_MONI. What I need to do in order to get the message content while monitoring.
Best Regards
Lalit
P.S --> I am able to see the message content if I am using File Adapter in place of SOAP Adapter

</SAP:Error>
As my payload was of 100 records with 15 fields I guessed that this can be the reason I am getting timed out. So next time I just send 2 records & this time no error & everything went fine.
Now one thing I need to do is to increase the TIMEOUT value with the help of <b>OSS Note 824554</b>.
But still in RWB ( with 2 records also ) under message monitoring I am getting " <b>Content of message deleted to save memory</b> " for message content.
My objective now, is to display the payload which is coming from Web Application via SOAP Adapter in RWB. Can you help me in this.

File content conversion using SOAP adapter

Hi,
     I'm using a receiver SOAP adapter in my IDOC to file scenario and need to do file content conversion in the receiver side.
Are any standard modules available for file content conversion in the SOAP adapter or do I need to write custom EJB modules for this.
Please note that I have to use a SOAP adapter, can't use any other adapter.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
XML Document Conversion Type
●      Enter recordTypes as the parameter name.
Under Parameter Value, enter the complete, comma-separated list of all names of recordset types that occur in the document to be converted.
If you decide to use this method, you can define a different conversion type for each recordset type that occurs in the XML document.
For example, you could name the recordset types as follows: RecordType1,RecordType2,RecordType3.
●      Enter singleRecordType as the parameter name.
Under Parameter Value, enter the name of a recordset type that is to be used to convert all elements that occur in the XML document.
If you decide to use this method, define the same conversion type for each recordset type that occurs in the XML document.
You must enter exactly one parameter only. Whichever parameter you choose, you automatically exclude the second parameter.
You define further parameters for each recordset type.
In the remainder of this documentation the parameters are specified by the prefix <RecordType>. In your configuration, replace this name with the name of the recordset type.
Conversion Type List with Separators
●      <RecordType>.fieldSeparator
Enter the field separator that is written between the individual fields of a record.
This specification is mandatory.
Conversion Type List with Fixed Field Length
●      <RecordType>.fieldLengths
Specify a character string that contains a list of fixed field lengths that are separated by commas and which determines the number and the length of fields generated in the text file.
For example, you want to write a recordset with three elements that have field widths of five, ten, and fifteen characters. Enter:
<RecordType>.fieldLengths = 5,10,15
This specification is mandatory.
●      <RecordType>.fieldLengthExceeded
Specify how you want to handle fields that exceed the configured field length. Permitted values for the parameter value are:
○       error (default)
Interrupts processing of message with error
○       cut
Cuts off superfluous characters
○       ignore
Ignores the field length restriction
Further Entries
●      <RecordType>.beginSeparator
Enter a string. The string is placed in front of the first field of a recordset.
●      <RecordType>.endSeparator
Enter a string. The string is appended to the last field of a recordset as a concluding character. The default is \r\n.
●      contentType
Enter the MIME type of the converted payload. The default value is text/plain.
●      addHeaderLine
Only define this parameter if you have already defined singleRecordType.
Define whether a header line is to be added to the result of the conversion.
○       none (default)
Does not insert a header line
○       fromXML
The header line is generated from the element name of the first recordset of the XML document
○       fromConfiguration
The header line is determined by the configuration parameter headerLine.
●      headerLine
Only define this parameter if you have already set addHeaderLine=fromConfiguration.
The value that you define is placed in front of the result of the conversion as a header line.
●      fixedLineWidth
Enter the maximum line length n (in characters) that can be written to the resulting document. The separator specified by lineSeparator is inserted in the resulting document every n characters.
●      lineSeparator
Only define this parameter if you have already defined fixedLineWidth.
Specify the string that is written to the resulting document at the end of each line that is written with fixedLineWidth. The default is \r\n.
Use of Special Characters
You can use special characters in the following parameters: <RecordType>.fieldSeparator, <RecordType>.beginSeparator, <RecordType>.endSeparator, headerLine, and lineSeparator.
●      Tabulator: \t
●      Carriage Return (CR): \r
●      Line Feed (LF): \n
●      Arbitrary character: \x<code>
<code>indicates the hexadecimal character code of the character to be displayed.

Acknowledgement for asynch scenario using SOAP adapter

Hi,
My scenario is SOAP to proxy asynchronous (using PI 7.1)
Sender is able to send the messages to XI using HTTPs protocol (SOAP adapter). since this is an asynchronous scenario XI could not send back any application acknowledge .
I understand if handshake is successful sender can see HTTP code 200 which is success.
1) Is it possible that though HTTP connection is successful and sender could not pass payload.
2) Is there any configuration needs to be done in PI 7.1 to send an acknowledge back to assure the sender that XI received payload.
3) Can we do the above using non BPM scenario.
or if BPM scenario is mandatory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vamsi,
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP:Header/>
<SOAP:Body/>
</SOAP:Envelope>
above acknowledgement is seen on SOAP UI as soon as SOAP UI delivers the message to the PI (irrespective of what will happen with the message in the PI).
As you know in case of Async scenario Application Ack is not possible !
But if you want to be sure if payload is received successfully the you can use BPM wherein you can have a switch which will check the existance of payload. and as per your requirment you can take a decision.
Thanks,
Sunil Singh

When to use Custom Adapter, Event Beans and Spring beans

Hi,
I have basic question on when or on what basis/scenario the Custom Adapter, Event Beans or Spring beans should be used.
All three has same implementation methods.
Please help me in understanding when to use Custom Adapters, Event Beans or Spring beans.
Thanks,
Sri
Edited by: 897694 on Mar 7, 2012 8:12 AM

custom adapters:
you have to use a custom adapter when you don't find any adapter in ocep which will serve your purpose.
Most of the times you use an adapter to connect the application with external things like http server, etc It can be both to listen the events or to send the events outside.
Event Beans:
This type of beans does most of the work that an adapter code does but in convention beans are not used to connect the application with external stuff
You can use Beans as event sink etc In this case using an using an adapter is not suggestable.
If you implement Interfaces like Initializing Bean for an adapter code it won't work properly, you have to use an event Bean in that case.
Spring beans:
Spring beans are used when the bean code doesn't implement EventSink or EventSender.
These beans are used to enable something (eg: make ${wlevs_dev_home}/abc/a/b.java this path is not understandable by java code unless you override the path using a spring bean)
Most of the things which doesn't need a connection between components in the application (eg cache loader: you can do this using spring beans and event beans both but spring beans doesn't need a connection with cache)
Hope this small writeup helps you :)
