XI scalability architecture - deploying integration builder objects

Hi
I read in the SAP document - 'Scaling up XI' that the way to scale up XI is simply addition of dialog instances and all these additional dialog instances would access the database in the central instance.
Now, in this scaled up architecture, do we have to transport integration builder objects onto each of the additional dialog instances - or do the entire set of integration builder objects needed at runtime - reside on the database on the central instance and are accessed by the different dialog instances ? ( In this case, the integration builder objects have to be transported to the central instance only . and the CMS setup should point to the url of the central instance only )
Is there any document that clarifies this concept of moving the production objects onto the central instance ?
Any thoughts, ideas shared on this would be rewarded.

Hi Karthik,
U must ve read this document
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c3d9d710-0d01-0010-7486-9a51ab92b927
Scaling of XI servers is done when "Performance" is the main issue to be considered. scaling thus generally includes the scaling of IS. So the entire set of IB objects should be placed at central instances only
This will help u

Best Practice Guide for object management in Integration Builder

Hi All,
I'm looking for a best practice guideline, or a strategy pattern for the management and maintainable of Integration Builder objects.
Is their such a document, or has someone experience with a huge amount of objects ( 200-300 interfaces) ?
I was thinking about a folder to sub-folder strategy, but don't feel comfortable with that solution:
-->Root folders ( business relationship e.g. "Customer", "Supplier", "Bank" etc.)
>Sub folders ( e.g. "AB Customer", "ZX Supplier", etc)
Regards
Oleg

Hi ,
I am in the safe confusion one year back, we developed 200 interfaces in XI3.0 ,every interfaces has minimum 10 mapping programs,its difficult manage the alla scenarios ,
That what i created Software components for as per region like SA(South America), North Americ , Europe, Asia Pacific,we developed interafces for above regions,that why created software compinehts like that.
Then i created name spaces inside outbound and inboud to easy to diffentiate ..like that i had done.
If you are with PI7.1 betetr to go for Folders,create folders and move objects.
my answer not satisfies you..pls dont mind..:)

Objects Missing in Integration Builder Tree

After an Internal_Error while creating configuration objects in the Model Configurator (PI7.3) I am now missing objects in the Integration Builder object tree.
No Snd/Rcv Agreements, No Rcv Determinations, No Interface Determinations.
Have restarted J2EE, re-log in, cache refreshes, but still missing the objects.
I can fx search for older sender agreement and find/edit them, but it is not visible in the Object tree?
I can not create new objects, they are not available under Create Objects.
Any ideas what the trouble is?
Stephan

Thanks, I appriciate all your friendly answers.
These buttons was the first thing I tried, and every other possible/impossible button or menu choice.
I thought that there perhaps was a new kind of object filter in the Integration Builder of PI 7.3?
Unfortunately it seems to be an internal error in the IB.
I do not see any of the objects in the object list of the Receiver Determination screen.
I can Seach for Sender Agreements and find/open/edit them.
But I get an INTERNAL_ERROR when doing a Where-Used search on a related Communication Channel.
It is also not related to my own computer/java version, oher people here have the same problem.
I have put in a message to SAP support, but as this is 'just' a Develoment System, the priority is not very high.

Unable to transport Integratin Builder objects from Dev to QA correctly

Hi,
System : Pi 711 SPS03
SLD 7.1 with latest model and content
We are trying to transport Integration Builder Objects from Dev to QAS, but the SID translation from DEV to QAS is not working.
The interface is being imported as the source SID.
We checked the SLD configuration for Transport targets, that is when we realised the below issue.
Unable to Assign Business Systems in respective Business System Groups
The expected configuration of the SLD is as below:
UKD_400 - Integration Server for Dev PI 711 server
INTEGRATION_SERVER_UKQ - Integration Server for QAS PI 711 server
XI_QA - Business System Group for all Quality Systems in the landscape
          1) UKD_400
          2) UC1_ECC_60
          3) UED_400
XI_DEV - Business System Group for all Developement Systems in the landscape
          1) INTEGRATION_SERVER_UKQ
          2) UC2_400
          3) UEQ_400
We are unable to put the business systems in their respective groups
All the Business systems are either being assigned in XI_QA or XI_DEV
Please let us know if this is a product error in SLD 7.1, could not find any relevant notes
Thanks,
Govind

Edited by: Govind Prathi on Feb 12, 2010 10:27 PM

We have already assinged the Integration server to their respective business system groups while creating the Business system groups.
   BSG: XI_DEV --> UKD_400( Integration Server DEV )
BSG : XI_QA ---> INTEGRATION_SERVER_UKQ( Integration Server QA)
As per documentation, the business systems should be automatically assigned to their respective Groups based on their association with Integration Server.
But, we are not seeing this behaviour, both the Integration servers are being assigned to the same Business System Group.
Please help me understand if i am something in the configurations.
Thanks
Govind

Custom directories for export/import for Integration Builder

Hi,
XI uses default directories for exporting and importing Integration Builder objects, and there is no option to change the directory or to pick up objects from another directory.
Does anybody know of any way we can change the default directory that XI uses? Maybe some system setting hidden somewhere deep?
Thanks and Regards
Manish

Hi Manish,
when there's no way there's always an <b>XI way</b>:)
you can help your basis team using XI
set you file adapter to monitor export directory
and try sending your xi export files to a different server/location
you can have a look how Felix did similar scenario:
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/15/copy-a-file-with-same-filename-using-xi
isn't this a good way ?

Unable to import Basis (R3) objects to Integration Builder

I am trying to import RFCs and Idocs to the Integration Builder, but am getting the following message.
Unable to establish connection to R/3 system sapdtdb (system=00, client=010) Troubleshooting tips:
Is the target system online?
Check the connection data (note that server names and groups are case-sensitive)
Tips for administrators (see the configuration guide for more details):
Does the user have the required authorizations in the target system?
Is the target system configured correctly in "etc/services"?
I have checked the radio button on the software component for allowing Import Of RFC and Idoc interfaces.
I have checked on both the PI and the R3 system that the entries in SM59 are correct and that login and connections are permitted.
On our old XI system, I am able to import objects, but on our new PI system I am getting the above error.
Does anyone have any other possible solutions to this please?

Chris,
Please check whether have done all the steps given in this link or not for your new PI system:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/xi/sapR3%28Idocs%29ToXI--Steps+Summarized&
If you done all this you should be able to import the IDocs and RFCs without any problem.

Design Objects created in Enterprise Services Builder not appearing in Integration Builder

I am fairly new to PI, so hoping someone can help. I have created a number of design objects (DataType, MessageType, ServiceInterface, MessageMapping, OperationMapping). I had also imported an RFC object successfully as well that is used in the creation of the design objects. All have been saved and activated, and there are no apparent errors listed.
After saving and activating the objects, I went into Integration Builder, and created a new Configuration Scenario. However, when trying to add in the Interface Determination, Receiver Determination, Sender Agreement, and Receiver Agreement, I do not see the the RFC object or design objects that were created in the Enterprise Services Builder.
Can someone advise as to whether or not I have missed a step somewhere? Or perhaps there is something else that I need to do before I can get the design objects and imported RFC object to appear in the Integration Builder?.
Thanks in advance.
Tuan.

Hi Tuan,
Are you using Business System or Business Component. If your using Business System you need to assign Software Component Version to Business System in SLD. If your using Business Component you have to add the Interface Name Manually to the Business Component. Please see the Below screen shot, you have to add Sender or Receiver Interface manually to proceed further step.
Thanks,
Satish.

PI 7.11 sp6 Integration Builder - folder view error

Experts,
We recently installed SAP NW PI 7.11 (ehp1) up to sp6. This is a new install. We did all the wizards, etc and things are basically ok.
we execute SXMB_IFR, then go to "integration builder" link and login.
If I change the view from "object view" (icon of 2 people) to "folder view" (icon of folder), we get the following error:
class com.sap.guid.GUID:library:core_lib at com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader at 2353f67e at alive incompatible with interface com.sap.aii.ib.bom.gen.XiReference:sap.com/com.sap.xi.directory at com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader at 79c008cf @ alive
I found this note, but it does not quite describe my problem:
Note 1525457 - Previous version of Directory API and Value Mappings
I searched all through SDN and OSS, nothing yet. I'm going to put in a message but I was wondering if anyone out there has seen this?
Thanks!

experts,
FYI, ready my problem details but I wanted to add one thing. Apparently were were at sp5 for a brief time and our developer did create some object while at that level. He reported the issue since we moved to SP6

Please Help PI Data Dependent Integration Builder Authorizations NOT Workng

Dear Friends / Experts,
I had spend many days and explored all Weblog and links on this website and implemented all the steps required to acheive Data Dependent Integration Builder Security and I am not successful so far. I am just giving up now - Please Help Me ---
As I said, I already read all the important Forum Links and SAP Web links and Followed Each and Every Step - service.sap.com/instguidesNW04 ® Installation ® SAP XI
Security Requirement - Data Dependent/Object Level Authorizations in XI / PI
In distributed teams or in a shared PI environment it might be necessary to limit authorization for a developer or a group of developers to only one Software Component or objects within a Software Component or to specific Configuration Objects.
Our Environment - PI 7.0 SP 16
Created a new role in the Integration Builder Design
u2013Add Object Types of any Software Component and Namespace
- Enable usage of Integration Builder roles in Exchange Profile
Integration Builder u2013Integration Builder RepositoryParameter com.sap.aii.util.server.auth.activation to true

u2013Assign users to these roles
u2013Assign the Integration Builder roles to the above groups in Web AS Java
u2013Assign unrestricted roles to Super Users
Please help - How to validate whether Data Dependent Authorizations are Activated?
I am working with XI Developers and Basis Team and we did updated all the Required Exchange profile parameters.
Per this Document - User Authorizations in Integration Builder Tools - Do we need to update the server.lockauth.activation in Exchange Profile. When We updated, It removed Edit Access from all XI Developers in PI
In both the Integration Repository and the Integration Directory, you can define more detailed authorizations that restrict access to design and configuration objects.
In both tools, you define such authorizations by choosing Tools ® User Roles from the menu bar. The authorization for this menu option is provided by role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR_J2EE. Of course, this role should only be granted to a very restricted number of administrators. To activate these more detailed authorizations, you must set exchange profile parameter com.sap.aii.ib.server.lockauth.activation to true.
The access authorizations themselves can be defined at the object-type level only (possibly restricted by a selection path), where you can specify each access action either individually as Create, Modify, or Delete for each object type, or as an overall access granting all three access actions.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f7/c2953fc405330ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
I was able to control display and maintain access from ABAP Roles, but completely failed to implement Integration Builder Security?
Are there any ways to check Whether Data Dependent authorization or J2EE Authorizations are activated?
Thanks a lot

Hello,
so to give you status of our issue.
We were able to export missing business component .
But we also exported some interfaces after that and we had some return code 8, due to objects still present in change list on quality system (seems after previous failed transports , the change list was not cleared completley...).
So now we have checked that no objects is present in the change list of quality system and we plan to export again our devs on quality system.
Hope after that no more return code 8 during imports and all devs transported correctly on quality system.
Also recommending to read that, which is pretty good.

How to Launch an Integration Builder under two different java versions

How to Launch an Integration Builder under two different java versions     1
1. Situation     2
2. How To Do     2
2.1 jre preparation     2
2.2 Put them into the system     2
2.3 Execute a Java Web Start under jre 1.4.x version     3
2.4 Change Java Runtime Versions     3
2.5 Launch an Integration Builder     6
1. Situation
OS: windows 2000 pro English
Java version: jdk 1.5.x was already installed. (Its not permitted to change.)
I dont have any authorization to install any software on the PC.
But I need to use an Integration Builder.
I already knew URLs of an Integration Builder (http://<hostname>:50000/rep/start/repository.jnlp).
2. How To Do
At this moment, an Integration Builder (XI 3.0) can be launch under jre 1.4.x environment (on windows).
2.1 jre preparation
I download j2re-1_4_2_10-windows-i586-p.exe from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
I installed it on my home PC and copied all files from C:\Program Files\Java\ j2re1.4.2_10\ into my USB.
2.2 Put them into the system
I pasted j2re1.4.2_10 folder from my USB into the windows 2000 pro system.
Finally, I could list up all of javaws.exe under this system.
c:\j2re1.4.2_10\javaws\javaws.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\bin\javaws.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\jre\bin\javaws.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin\javaws.exe
2.3 Execute a Java Web Start under jre 1.4.x version
I executed c:\j2re1.4.2_10\javaws\javaws.exe .
2.4 Change Java Runtime Versions
Go to File-> Preferences -> Java
As you can see, it indicates 1.5 version.
Click [FIND] button.
Click [NEXT] button.
Click the j2re1.4.2_10 folder.
Click [NEXT] button.
A JRE Finder is able to find javaw.exe automatically. Or you can indicate C:\j2re1.4.2_10\bin\javaw.exe directly.
Click [NEXT] button.
Finally, there are two Java Runtime Versions. Now you need to uncheck the Enabled column of 1.5 version and check 1.4 version.
Click [OK] button.
Well, in the General tab, I selected None for Proxies.
2.5 Launch an Integration Builder
In the Location field, I typed the URL of an Integration Builder jnlp.
http://<hostname>:50000/rep/start/repository.jnlp
SAP Integration Builder comes up inside Applications area.
Select it and click [Start] button.
If you click Environment-> Integration Builder (Configuration), you can launch Integration Builder: Configuration.

SDN Search Widget
=========================================================

I am not getting anywhere with deploying my application or
applet.
I have set up my bc4j project. It contains all my VO info,
links, application module. (proj a)
I then have another project with DbInfo in it(has all my rowset
info), Multiple Frames, and my Applet.java file.
Actually I have an Applet.java file and a Application.java file
because I was seeing if both/either worked. Anyway they seem the
same, except for that extra window that comes up when you run the
applet.
I follow the steps in the oracle directions (from earlier post).
And all seems ok. But at ---->
[*] Select the subdirectory under myhtml where your applet's HTML
file
is located, and enter the directory path of the 'staging'
directory you
created in step 3 above, if different from the default.</li>
[*]Select the HTML files that JDeveloper created to run your
applet.</li>
[*]Select all of the Java source files in your project that make
up the
applet.</li>
I have no HTML file associated with my applet, at least that I
know of.
So do I need to create one, or should it of been done
automatically.
Also, I trying to figure out what will be the best way to deploy
my project. Applet or stand alone application is what my first
choices have been so far. I have read that there is some issues
with applets being served from a different server than the
database. So a stand alone application was my front runner, but
I haven't gotten either way to work yet.

Integration Repository objects

Is it possible to store Integration Repository objects (Data Types,Message Types,Message Interfaces,Message Mappings and Interface Mappings) separately in the repository like (VSS ,CVS etc,.).Some times it will be helpful to merge specific versions of the objects and activate.If i am not wrong i can only see exporting IR objects as a whole and store in the repository.

Hi Anand,
I dont have a exct answer for it but i can give you a solution.....
the thing is you can export your datatype as XSD and save that XSD at your coninient path.....so once your are in need of datatype you just import that XSD so you can see your datatype there..............so once you have your datatype i dont think it will take much of time to build IR Objects other than Mapping....this too can be solve if you use Java or XSLT Mapping...just have a copy of your pgm in local so that you can make use of it wherever you want ....hope this simplifies your task...f you feel im wrong kindly inform me...

Service Enhancements ESR - Integration Builder

Hello,
I made some enhancements of standard services in the ESR. In the ABAP backend I created the corresponding proxys. But when I try to to configure the enhanced services in the Integration Builder I only get the standard services. How can I refer to the enhanced services in the Integration Builder?
Kind Regards
Felix

Hello,
If you did not change the Service Interface Name then you wil automatically make use of the changed datatype. The Integration Builder is just the configuration of the objects you make/change in the ESR.
If you only changed your datatype your scenario will continue to work. You do not have to change anything in the Integration Builder.
Best regards,
Fons
