WS Adapter Vs SOAP in PI 7.1

Hi All,
I would like to know the main difference between WS adapter and SOAP adapter and when to use what adapter?
Regards,
Praveen Kumar

Hi Praveen,
Few points for your reference:
1. Whats possible with WS adapter and whats not with SOAP
With WS adapter you can create direct communication link
between two systems that use ws runtime
so you can connecto two ERP systems without the use of integration engine
(you only configure the connection in ID but XI does not take part in the flow)
WS Adapter :
WS adapter also support other ws standard like SAML which is not available in SOAP adatper
WS Adapter :
1)Supports Multiple Synchronous Operations
2)No Local Processing within AAE
3)No SOAP Action
SOAP Adapter :
1)Allows Local Processing in AAE
2)Exaclty One Operation per Interface
3)Modules for Receiver Adapter

Divya

Hi All,
We have a scenario of FTP-->PI---> Webservice. While triggering the data in the FTP, it is failing in the PI with the below error

Can you please help?

Hi Raja- It seems to be a data quality issue.
Check for the value @ 1447 position in the xml message that you are trying to send to web service..
may be a date filed/decimal value which is not in expected format.

XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a scenario SOAP to SOAP through AAE. There is no mapping involved.
Sender is a 3rd Party application and receiver is SAP BusinessObjects [BI].
Following error is coming when posting the message from SOAPUI or through integration engine.
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: String index out of range: 0
I have done following workaround.
1) I tried the message flow through AAE, but same error in the channel
2) I checked creating a one to one mapping with soap fault message. Still the same error.
3) "XMBWS.NoSOAPIgnoreStatusCode = true" in module tab -> Module configuration
When I tried this mentioned option, the message is passing through the channel but the passing blank empty payload.
I have checked following links.

Hello,
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: String index out of range: 0
When I tried this mentioned option, the message is passing through the channel but the passing blank empty payload.
Probably because the return is blank. If this is expected, can you just use Java Mapping to parse the blank response?
Hope this helps,

XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: No such operation

Hi,
I am doing a SOAP - PI - SOAP scenario.
When I tested my scenario, I am getting this error in wsnavigator:
Web service returned error. Fault code: "(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/)Server" Fault String: "Server Error".
When I checked in SXMB_MONI, I get this error in the response message:
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: No such operation</SAP:AdditionalText>
I searched thru the forums but I am not finding this similar issue.
"no such operation" issues posted here usually have an operation name after.
I would appreciate your help.

Receiver SOAP Adapter Problem-soap fault: Server did not recognize the valu

I have a scenario for service orders using async call : IDOC-XI-SOAP.
I used the XML Spy tool to test the Service order's web services and it works fine. I imported the same WSDL file in XI. When I send a SOAP message from XI, I get a following error in the adapter engine.
<i>MP: exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/PARSING/ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION - soap fault: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: AddUpdateCostObjectLevel1.</i>
Can someone please help me...
Thanks in advance!
Mrudula

This problem is resolved by me by passing the "http://company's URL/AddUpdateCostObjectLevel1" in the SOAP action.
Thanks to all for your input.

Hi Adil
Have you tried out the solution provided by Nisar Khan in the thread below. It looks similar to your case.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/609965
Here is another case similar to yours. You need to check if your SLD and cache are ok.

Mail Adapter to Soap Adapter keeping the attachments - How?

Hi guys,
I am working on a scenario where I should pull emails from an Exchange server and I should forward them (with their attachments) to a separate systems via a Web Service.
So far I have been able to pull the emails using the Mail Adapter and I get to see them in the monitoring tool of PI with their attachment(s). But what I am not sure of is how I should forward these emails to the external system using a web service.
This system should expose this web service that should use something similar to SOAP with attachments (I guess) and then PI should forward these attachments using the receiver SOAP adapter with the "keep attachments" option selected.
Is this something that could work as simply as this (by configuring these two adapters to keep their attachments) OR will I need to do some more fancy stuff?
Thanks for any advice you can give me on this.
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
thanks for your replay.
Yes, I understand that the mail should be in an XML message. And with that part we are doing OK. We have managed to send the XML between the systems.
However, what I don't understand is how to pass the attachments.
How should the receiving system receive them? if they are not in the XML message itself how are these going to be passed over?
Will the SOAP envelop have some kind of link or reference to the attachments?
The receiving system is a SAP CE system and it's based on Java. Can they expose a service that will somehow handle these attachments?
Could you explain this part to us? this is where we get confused.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Aldo

Standalone (J2SE) adapter - axis SOAP adapter - issue duplicate messages

All,
Perhaps you can help me. I've setup a scenario where an standalone (J2SE) adapter sends a file to SAP XI channel, configured on the central adapter engine, of type SOAP configured to use Axis servlet.
The connection is setup and the standalone adapter channel logs thre response from the SOAP channel which reads HTTP error 500, indicating a duplicate message.
SAP has identified this problem and proposes in the FAQ for Axis (note 1039369) to set on the SOAP channel module CallSapAdapter property ignoreDuplicate to true in the module processor.
I've implemented this as suggested however found the problem persists. I'm still receiving an HTTP 500 error.
Your help is much appreciated solving this problem.
Thanks
Harald

As there was a bugfix recently, make sure that you have installed the latest patch.
If this does not work, open an OSS ticket for this issue.

Plain J2SE Adapter Engine - SOAP Adapter

Which reasons are there for using the soap adapter at the plain j2se adapter engine instead of the soap adapter at the central adapter engine (XI 3.0)? Which benefits are there? Which cases are known?

The J2SE adapter is a relict from XI 2.0
You may still use it, especially for migration from XI 2.0 to XI 3.0, but it is recommended to use the J2EE adapter engine.

Stefan

Problem in testing SOAP receiver adapter using SOAP UI

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to test my SOAP receiver adapter as mentioned in the blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/21844. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] But, my request from ECC proxy keeps failing in XI communcation channel monitor. I've configured my receiver adapter http://ip:8080/mockSoapHTTPBinding and kept the authentication as NONE. Can any of you suggest?
ip - is my system ip shown in ipconfig.
mockSoapHTTPBinding - is the path.
Thanks.

What is the error of the messages? Are the messages leaving the SOAP adapter?
Please try both:
1. Go to Runtime Workbench -> Component Monitoring -> Adapter Engine -> Test message. Then, execute the message directly without the intermediate of the Proxy sender. This will allow you to check only the receiver SOAP.
2. Please use the TCPGateway tool attached from the note below. It will be a "man-in-the-middle" between the target WS and the Receiver SOAP channel, tracking the whole HTTP/SOAP message. Check if the message is well-formed.

Sender SOAP adapter: get soap header data

Hi,
I've been going through various posts and blogs here on SDN + looked in the how to guide for SOAP adapter, but still find it quite difficult to actually find out how to do it. I've tried to follow recommendations seen, but it doesn't add up.
So can someone please tell me how to get an element situated in the SOAP header of the request sent to XI via sender soap adapter?
Let's for instance say the request looks like this:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <SOAP-ENV:Header>
          <SSN>1234567890</SSN>
     </SOAP-ENV:Header>
     <SOAP-ENV:Body>
          <event>
               <elem1>data 1</elem1>
               <elem2>data 2</elem2>
               <elem3>data 3</elem3>
          </event>
     </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
How can I get the data in the SSN-header element at mapping time?
I'm sure this can be done by using adapter modules as the first step adapter, but I prefer doing it at mapping time if possible.
Best Regards,
Daniel

I solved it on my own now. My missing link was the fact that I'm using XMLSPY to send request and thus need to replace all '&' with & in Connection Endpoint.
