Which communication channel is reliable and best?

Hi,
we do have the scenario peoplesoft-XI-xRPM integration.
In this scenario Inbound is the IDOC for xRPM.we have planned outbound for peoplesoft as JMS/HTTP/SOAP.In the above 3 cases which is reliable and most affordable?The main scenario is peoplesoft sends data in a file to peoplsoft integration broker.Here we are binding a link between peoplsoft IB and XI IB.For this we had 3 communication protocals.can any body suggest which one is reliable and best one?
Thanx in advance.

but even if XI doesn't have standard adapter for the peoplesoft you can always install another one:

How to find which communication channel is picking the file

Hi
Can any one tell me, how can i find which communication channel is picking the file from the source directory?
I have a file scenario. File is coming to directory but it disappears even after I STOP the communication channel, I am using for this scenario
I want to find out which communication channel is picking the file.
How can i do it?

Hi,
you can try this:
Go to Communication Channel monitoring in Runtime Workbench.
Select all file adapters and check cluster node for each Channel. If the file is picked by the channel you will see processing details or errors related to channel here.
Since as you say the message is not seen in sxmb_moni then the communicaition channel would be red. Files that are picked from directories but not visible in sxmb_moni are usually in error at channel level.
Hope this helps.

Sender communication channel for HTTP and IDOC

Why the sender communication channel is not necessary for HTTP and IDOC

Hi,
Because they lie on ABAP stack ie on Integration Engine...so that they can process directly but other adapter lies on Adapter engine.

Communication Channel IDOC tipy and SENDER

Hi experts!
We have an XI SP14.
I have read that it is not needed a communication channel to send Idocs from R/3 to XI but, if we try to set this communication channel, we are not able to select the "Sender" option in the comm. channel. We have never used this kind of comm. channel to send Idocs from R/3 to XI so, I wonder why we are having this problem.
Do you know if this is a problem with the XI version or is it customizable?
If it is customizable, do you know where is this set up?
Thanks in advance!

The configuration data for all the adapter can be found in IR under
SAP Basis 6.40 - >http://sap.com/xi/XI/System - > adapter objects -> adapter metadata.
Select idoc and you can see the configuration for inbound idoc adapter but there is no outbound configuration provided by SAP. you can check for reference the RFC adapter for both inbound/outbound configuration. If you want to configure a sender idoc adapter then you will have to create all the necessary configuration in line with what is needed for an sender idoc and then upload this metadata. Its not going to be as simple as enabling the sender button you will have to create all the remaining input fields for sender idoc channel.

Time out at communication channel type SOAP and RFC(synchronous interface)

Hello Experts.
I have a some interfaces here that have a Sender SOAP channel and Receiver RFC channe. We have problens with Timeout with soap channel and expiration with RFC time channel. I need a way to keep de connection alive in these interfaces, someome can indicate a way to do it?
Thanks a lot.

The error that ocurred is that one:
SOAP: error occured: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: XIAdapterFramework:GENERAL:com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.MessageExpiredException: Message 4f451ed1-db17-11e0-ab5d-00001e05f032(INBOUND) expired: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: XIAdapterFramework:GENERAL:com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.MessageExpiredException: Message 4f451ed1-db17-11e0-ab5d-00001e05f032(INBOUND) expired
The RFC inbouc channel expired.

Stop and Start Communication Channels

Hi All,
I am finding some peculiar entries in my application log which has made my scenario go awry.
I have an AS2 to Proxy scenario. I am receiving the AS2 message successfully and i have to send a synchronous signed MDN back to the sender. I have done the necessary configurations for this and all certificates are loaded and verified.
The strange part is, once i receive the AS2 message and convert it to XML using content conversion, the communication channel is stopped and again restarted. This messages i could find in application log Log entries. This makes the MDN Asynchronous as the existing HTTPS connection with AS2 sender is lost and so the MDN is not delivered as ASYNC MDN method is not set up.
I need to know what are the system processes that can start and stop a communication channel. I am sure i have not set up any availability time planning for these comm channels and also, they are scheduled manually!
Thanks,
Rashmi.

Hi Debashish,
I am using Advantco AS2 Adapter, and they say it is one of the system processes and not anything with their AS2 Adapter.
Thats why this question. Are there any system processes that can start/stop a communication channel? Atleast I have not come across anything like that.
Thanks for your reply,
Rashmi.

AE: multiple Communication Channel instances and message re-sending

Hi All,
My scenario is as follows:
We are running the adapter engine on a server cluster. In the RWB, I have multiple instances of the Communication Channels, for theit various cluster nodes.
My question is:
I have a message in the RWB, which is in System Error state in the AE. If I resend this message from the RWB, does it get queued for the same communication channel instance (as last time, when it failed), or can it get assigned to a new instance?
Hope my question is clear.
Regards,
Puloma.

Hi,
I realized that, a message will always be handled by the same instance of the Communication Channel.
But Exception is when an instance is down. In this case the dispatcher will immediately schedule this message for another instance.
In our scenario, all the instances of the Communication Channel were down, and all the messages were in System Error state, with the error: "Channel not initialized."
In this case, if the message is resent, will it go to the same instance, or to a different instance?
Regards,
Puloma.

Go to SXMB_ADM and click integration engine configuration -> click edit mode configuration -> see the tuning parameter EO_MSG_SIZE_LIMIT set and value of it. If it not set, talk to basis to set the this tuning parmeter and value desired.

Use of Identifiers in Communication channel definition

Hi all,
I have read the help.sap links about identifiers and their areas of usage. But still having some doubts.
I have got an idea about its usage in value mapping. I would like to know how the identifier is used by the communication channels in inbound and outbound processing.
The link says that <i>If a message from an external party contains an identifier for a company in the message header, the identifier is mapped to the name of the internal party</i>
But I thought the message headers are created only in XI after picking up the message content from the sender. Can someone please explain me.

Hi Aarthi,
In the communication channel, you can then specify the identifier to be used as the ID for the communication party. In the identifiers tab of the communication channel screen, information wil be entered to help the system identify the sender as customer & not a logical system.
The available identifiers are specified in the communication party as alternative identifiers.
A communication party (party for short) represents a larger unit, which is involved in a collaborative process. Using a communication party, you generally address a company within a cross-company process.
You can assign a communication party one or more services to address it as the sender or receiver of messages
Identifiers are used to identify objects uniquely.
An identifier comprises the following:
·Agency
Defines the identification scheme and issues names for the objects to be identified.
·Identification Scheme (or scheme for short)
Constitutes the reference framework within which objects are uniquely identified by names.
·Name/Value
A name or value that identifies the object within the given identification scheme.
An object can only be uniquely identified when all three have been specified.
A person can be identified in many different ways, for example, by their customer number at a mail order company, or their name or employee number at their place of work. To be able to identify a person uniquely, it is not sufficient to just know the customer number, for example, you must know that this number is a customer number. Only once the frame of reference (the identification scheme Customer Number) is also known can a person be identified uniquely (by using the number).
In the example, the agency Mail Order Company manages the identification scheme Customer Number. Different customers are issued unique names (customer numbers) within this scheme.
Use
Identifiers are used in the following areas of SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
·To identify communication parties
·In value mappings.
·To set a receiver in the proxy runtime
These r the web-sites which give a detailed description about identifiers :

Dynamic Communication Channel in Receiver Agreement

Hi Experts,
I have the situation: one Receiver System with one Inbound Interface. This Receiver System is able to receive messages on this interface through different Communication Channels.
I want to have a possobility, based on message content, to dynamically select which Communication Channel to use.
So is it possible to do such a config, without dublicating the Inbounb Interface with a different name (maybe to set some values in Java Mapping?)?
Best Regards

I have one Receiver System, so maybe, you mean conditions in Interface Determination
No. I meant receiver determination only. You use same receivers in more than one cases.
As asked, why do you need multiple channels?

Prateek

Communication channel creation - Adapter typr missing

Hi
Im trying to create a communication channel between XI and ECC system and also XI and third part application.
I imported the .TPZ file and Im trying to create a communication channel between XI and ECC.I click on create communication channel under the business system ECC.
But after giving the communication channel name im unable to get any adapter type. There are no adapters here. Where should I configure this?
Thanks
Subbu

Hi,
To see the List of all the Adapter in Adapter list while creating the CC in ID, we have to Import the SAP BASIS 7.00 .TPZ file into IR
Steps
1) Download XI7_0_SAP_BASIS_7.00_10_00.tpz which is available in a zipped format from the SAP Service Market Place.
2) Unzip the contents and copy the file XI7_0_SAP_BASIS_7.00_10_00.tpz (if you are using PI 7.0 or else download the file for your XI version) to
/usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/xi/repository_server/import/
3) Goto Repository (Design)
4) Choose -> Tools -> Import Design Objects
Now the adapters should get displayed.
Thanks

Communication channel - standard t-code/table

Hi,
Need some help...
Is there any standard t-code by which we can start/stop/automate mass communication channel at a time ?
or
Any t-code by which we can start/stop/automate single communication channel ?
(I mean w/o going to moni_ifr -> rwb -> ...etc)
Also want master table in which communication channel and its status (like start/stop/auto/any ATP)is stored ( I did not find this info in SMPREL3/SMPPMAP3)
Note : I checked que/ans already posted and also checked "/people/gourav.khare2/blog/2007/12/12/interesting-abap-tables-in-xi-150-part-i link but did not found relevent info.
Thanks.
Ramiz...

Thanks Ibrahim/Abhishek/volker
My problem is :
we have frequent maintenance activity for our production system. and all the time we need to stop/start all cc to avoid any message failure during this maintenance. Manual stop/start from RWB requires lots of time. we have approx 100 cc(and increasing...) and all need to stop before maintenance and start after maintenance complete.
I want any standard t-code that can do this... and if not any standard then want make something in abap that can do this and we can avoid such a time consuming process.
As per the replies :
1)manual as mentioned above
-> this requires lots of time every time maintenance activities happens.
2) as mentioned by abhishek thru external controlling
-> I need to look into this but Its one cc at a time
3) And availability planning by selecting the option to control it automatically
-> we are using this functionality but during our maintenance activity this will not be useful as maintenance activity happens anytime/any day.
As per the Volker,
Hi Ramiz!
Because almost all communication channels are part of the Java Adapter Engine you will not find a table in ABAP stack and you will also not find a transaction to control them.
But - like already mentioned by others in this thread - you can build your own tool to do this job.
Regards,
Volker
There is no abap table that stores CC...so I need to build my own tool to do this job...
But donu2019t have exact idea what/how to build !
Plz. let me know if you find anything related to this...
Thanks a lot for help.
Thanks.
