Where is the Set Adapter Specific Attributes indicator on the comm channel?

I really think I must be losing it guys.
We are SP16, we went directly to SP16 from 9, so we skipped over SP14.
When I go into a communication channel and choose an adapter(File) for instance. I cannot find the Set adapter-specific message attributes indicator anywhere!
Someone please tell me where it is located! If possible please send a screenshot to [email protected]
Thanks,
chris

Hi,
did you reimport SAP BASIS component to IR ?
just like specified in question 3 (adapter section)
in the XI FAQ?

How to set adapter specific message attributes on Pi 7.1 inside a Java map.

Hello,
how can I set adapter specific message attributes in a Java mapping on PI 7.1.? The TransformationInput grants access to the DynamicConfiguration but the TransformationOutput doesn't. I have found threads refering to the old way of implementing Java mappings (e.g. Get dynamic filename in a Java Mapping (NOT UDF)). But there doesn't seem to be one refering to the actual PI.
Kind regards,
Heiko

Using DynamicConfiguration from the TransformationInput works.

Setting Adapter-Specific Message Attributes in an Adapter Module

Hi!
I want to set Adapter-Specific Message Attributes in an Adapter Module. Is it possible to configure the Variable Transport Binding in this way?
Best regards,
Daniel

I'd like to know it as well.
I've checked out the XI AF API but didn't find much.
One thing that I've observed is that since Module API can treat any Message Class (not only XI Messages), I guess it won't have any specific methods for XI messages (hence, no dynamic configuration). But you could try to get the message object and then treat it as an XI Message (you would be doing the steps that the Java Mapping API do before it calls a Java Mapping class) to get the Map objects (which include the parameters).
Good luck on it, and let us know if you have any progress!

Adapter specific attributes - SOAP Adapter

Hi,
I am trying to use the adapter specific attributes of the receiver SOAP adapter. But I am not able to view the Dynamic configurations in sxi_monitor corresponding to this message. Any clue why!?
I read through the SOAP adapter help on help.sap.com,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/69/a6fb3fea9df028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Here it says:
If you want to use header fields, set the relevant indicator for Variable Header. The technical names for the fields are XHeaderName1, XHeaderName2, XHeaderName3. The parameters are embedded in the HTTP request under the names you enter here.
But I donot find an option where I can enter the names. Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Smitha.

Hi Smitha,
I did not try to use adapter-specific attributes with SOAP-adapter, but with mail-adapter. The documentation is quite similar, so I excpect similar results...
So as far as I understood, the parameters XHeaderName1, ... etc are for dynamic extension of the set of adapter-specific attributes. For example, if you want to add some more information in the message header, you can program an adapter module and you have now a guide how to name the additional attributes.
Usually, the "standard" adapter-specific attributes are starting with "S" (Sender) or "T" (Receiver). You can find the names in the documentation of the SOAP-adapter.
In order to use the adapter-specific attributes, you have to check both indicators (adapter-specific attributes, variable transport binding). If this still doesn't work, you should use OSS. In my scenario (mail adapter) this didn't work, too. The reason was, that there was a bug in the adapter metadata (Integration Repository) of SAP BASIS. There was a SAP note, where I could download the correct adapter metadata. Maybe you can find a SAP note for the SOAP Adapter.
Although this is probably not the final solution, I hope this guides you a step further.

Using Adapter-specific attributes in Mail adapter

Hi,
I try to use adapter-specific attributes in my Mail adapter. I set the "Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" indicator, but I do not get a result in the mapping and also in the SXMB_MONI the attributes are not visible.
The documentation also refers to Variable Transport Binding indicator:<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm</a>
Could this be the problem? I cannot find this indiciator! Does anyone know where I can find this indicator?
Regards,
Torsten

Hi,
The values for the parameters, set using adapter specific message attributes are available at runtime in the path http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail.
We need to write UDF's that can extract the values from this path.
For Ex:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters() .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
 http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
 FileName);
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
if (valueOld != null) {
 String valueNew = valueOld.replaceAll(input,output);
 conf.put(key, valueNew);
If you check Dynamic configuration in sxmb_moni, you would be able to find the values for all the attributes that have been set in the adapter.

Smitha.

Multi-Message-split with ABAP mapping and adapter specific attributes

Hi all,
With ABAP-Mapping I split 1 message to n messages.
So many files are generated in file-Adapter.
Everything fine.
But now I want the file names different using adapter specific attributes.
It is not possible to use variable substitution and write the file name in payload because of receiver restrictions.
I tried this with following similar coding in ABAP-Mapping:
data: lt_records TYPE MPP_DYNAMIC_TAB.
 Loop.
 l_file_name = "payload-Inbound"-information
 ls_record-namespace = 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'.
 ls_record-name = 'FileName'.
 ls_record-value = l_file_name. "l_file_name comes from inbound-payload
 append ls_record to lt_records.
 Endloop.
CALL METHOD dynamic_configuration->set_all_records
 EXPORTING
 records = lt_records.
If I start the interface I see in the monitoring the dynamic configuration with many entries for file-name in the the SOAP-Header mapping of the request message (following extract):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:DynamicConfiguration xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPAADDRESS.XML</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPABROKERROLE.XML</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPACOMPANYSEGMENT.XML</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="FileName">BPACUSTOMERROLE.XML</SAP:Record>
The result is that all files have the same file name (last entry in dynamic configuration).
Is it possible to write the adapter specific configuration in ABAP-mapping for every single result message??
Thank you for your help,
Florian

Hi Florian,
I've a different idea...I dont think its a "right solution" but just another work around..it involves a BPM...
In your ABAP mapping..set the dynamic config with as many variables as number of different messages...i.e. use the variables like 'FileName1', 'FileName2'...'FileName6' instead of 'FileName'. But use the same namespace 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'
Call the above mapping in a BPM and capture the individual messages and set the attribute 'FileName' from the values of 'FileName1' to 'FileName6' accordingly using Message Mapping and then send the message using the 'Send' step.
before you try this, try using the variable names 'FileName1' ...'FileName6' in the receiver adapters...enable the ASMS. I know we need to select which variables from the dynamic config to be used by the adapter by specifically selecting 'FileName', 'Directory' etc...but just give it a try and see if it works..
Or..instead of using a BPM..you can combine Henrique's idea...use Adapter module to set the value for 'FileName' from variables 'FileName1'...'FileName6' accordingly.
hope I'm clear..lemme know if you have any questions..
cheers

Where's the seperate Channel justifier/Home Theatre Interface?

In 2005, when i bought my creative 2 zs soundcard i remember the drivers to have some kind of home theatre interface included, where i could hear and set all channels of my 5. soundsystem seperately. Now, years later i've downloaded and installed the brandnew drivers...but it seems, that creativ has made ten steps backwards. Just a simple menu of settings - where's the separate channel justifier? Can anyone tell me how to get it's

Try to download and install Daniel's drivers for your soundcard - http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...00/td-p/554398
This version has some of the creative's software bundled. Creative stopped making new versions of their software for old soundcards and now releases "driver-only" packages.

Adapter engine field blank in File Comm channel (Sender)

Hi,
I am not getting any value in drop-down list of adapter engine in file adapter communication channel.System is allowing me to save the comm channel but when I am trying to create sender agreement, system is giving me following error
Unable to find an associated SLD element (source element: SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, [CreationClassName, SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, string, Name, directory.s01., string], target element type: SAP_XIIntegrationServer)
I m getting values of adapter engine when I select some other adpter like IDOC or RFC.
Please help...

Hi,
1) Can you check your Post Installation.
2) Look for SAP NOTES.
3) Try cache refresh
a)Start transaction SXI_CACHE.
b)From the context menu XI Runtime Cache select Start Complete Cache Refresh.
If you still face issue try this .
Many actions require to access System Landscape Directory content from the Integration Builder. To optimize performance, this content is loaded into a cache so that the System Landscape Directory does not have to be accessed directly each time that System Landscape Directory content is required.
However, this cache is not automatically updated if changes are made to the content of the System Landscape Directory. For this reason that we delete the System Landscape Directory cache if changes have been made to content in the System Landscape Directory. The cache is then filled each time that the System Landscape Directory is accessed. If we log on to the Integration Builder after we have made a change in the SLD, we do not need to delete the SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.

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

Where can I find Adapter Specific Message Attributes ASMA Schema Definition

Hi all,
I'm on PI 7.1 and want to use the Mail adapter in XIPAYLOAD mode.
I want to map to the ASMA schema definition in the Enterprise Service Builder.

For example the "old" mail adapter xml schema could be found in Note 748024.

Should I use MailPackage or ASMA?
A: SP14 introuced the Adapter Specific Message Attributes (ASMA) that can be used to import and export adapter/transport specific headers into and out of XI. This is a generic mechanism for all adapters and other components such as mapping and routing can directly access or manipulate these values. The functionality provided by MailPackage is available in ASMA. Therefore, it is recommended that new scenarios use ASMA instead of MailPackage.

John,
the idea behind ASMA is exactly not to depend on modifying the payload to be able to map data that is just relevant to the communication layer, not the application.
Instead of having a target XSD that you need to map your source message to, filling the communication details, instead you create XI specific message headers (the so called "adapter specific message attributes") that go in the message within the SOAP Header, hence not requiring any modification of the payload whatsoever.
Notice that not having to modify the payload doesn't mean not having a mapping program, since the mapping can modify both the payload and the header, and sometimes it's a good approach to fill the ASMAs in a mapping, just bypassing the payload to the output unmodified.
BR,
Henrique.

Setting adapter specific message attributes

hi xi guroos.
i just got one doubt in a file to file scenario.
if i set adapter specifec message attributes in sender file CC.
and if i enabled file name checkbox.
some xi prof saying that the file at recievr directory will get created with the same filename which we r using at source directory .
if this is the case then no need to create any UDF for getting same file name i n mapping and one more doubt is
then what is the use of typing filename at reciever file adapter.
u r anwer will be appreciated.
waiting for u.
bey.
regards.
seeta ram.

some xi prof saying that the file at recievr directory will get created with the same filename which we r using at source directory .
Its true.
if this is the case then no need to create any UDF for getting same file name i n mapping and one more doubt is
By marking the checkbox, at receiver u could have the same filename as that of sender. But this is the only requirement, UDF is not required.
However if u want the filename as a value in Message mapping, u need the UDF. And moreover, there r many more header parameters that could be accessed in UDF
then what is the use of typing filename at reciever file adapter.
If u doesnt tick the checkbox (in most of the cases), then XI should know with which name file should be created
Hope each doubt is cleared

Accessing Adapter Specific Attributes from ABAP proxy

Hi,
Now i have a scenario from where i take a file from FTP and send it to ERP by proxy. While taking the file i am taking also the file name by setting adapter-specefic message attributes -> File Name. So the file name appears inside the SOAP Header. Now how i am going to use the file name in my ABAP code on the SAP side.
Thanks.
Arman

Hi Arman,
Follow this link:
The specified item was not found.
Your case is very similar to that one. Extract file Name from SOAP Header and then map it into any
field of your proxy.

Adapter-Specific Attributes Retrieval

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve the filename from the sender message type to be used in the mapping. In order to achieve this I ticked the Adapter-Specific message properties on both Sender and receiver CC. I created a user-defined function FilenameY with the following code to retrieve the file name. I am not importing any packages.
//write your code here
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Unfortunately I am getting the following message when I test mapping TESTMsgMapping. Any ideas why this is happening?????
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Exception:[java.lang.NullPointerException] in class com.sap.xi.tf._TESTMsgMapping_ method FilenameY$[com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.Context@32a38dfd]
Thank you
Kathir

Hello Saravana,
That is right we will only get the attribute values at Runtime (we cant test the mapping fully at designtime) but the problem is that I am getting a similar error message at runtime.
During the application mapping
com/sap/xi/tf/_TESTMsgMapping_ a
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException
was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping
transformatio~
So I thought the above problem at runtime was down to the message during the message mapping. I am not using any parameters to pass values to the function or using any packages either. Any comments will be gratefully accepted.
Thank you
Kathir

Reg: Adapter Specific Attributes

Hi Experts,
My scenario is a File to File and I am using Adapter Specific Message Attributes in it. Things are going fine but when I check directory in ASMA, getting the output file in specified directory and it gets deleted after a while. What might be the reason, please clarify me.
(As my processing mode is Delete at Sender side : If this is the reason how can I manage my scenario)
Thanks,
Sri.

Hi,
have you used any kind of Background processing for these files on FTP server that might be deleting the files.
Or in Sender FTP adapter you have used any kind of masking for Fiel name. Probably this might be the reason that even after adding teh time-stamp the file might have get deleted.
For time being deactivate the delete feature of sender fiel adapter and try if still the fiels are getting deleted or not.
Thanks
Swarup
