XI scenarios using Sender RFC Adapter

Hi Forum,
I am eager to know what kind of XI scenarios use sender RFC Adapter, can u give an example,
does this mean........executing a RFC in a R/3 system and the result of the execution goes to XI.....or,
does this means, like a sender JDBC Adpter, from XI, triggering execution of a RFC on a R/3, and getting back the result into XI............
can i have a step by step blog to create such a scenario....
thanks and regards

Hi Sudeep,
Sorry for late reply.
Yes the 2nd reply was for receiver RFC.
1. As i mentioned To configure Sender RFC you need TCP\IP connection. in that connection you will use the option registered server program and will mention a program ID there.
2. Sudeep just remember, please configure RFC sender on XI side first and give a Program ID there, gateway service, host and login of your R3 system. Program id can be any string your name also. and please dont forget to activate the channel before going to R3 side.
3. Then configure RFC in R3 side, and mention that same program id. mention your gateway host as R3 name or IP and you can get the gateway service from Tcode smgw. it must be something like smgw<xx>.
and for ur information the program id is nothing but an identity on which basis the R3 system will search that which server object is active using that program id.
4. when you will write a report to execute that RFC in background, use Commit work as last statement.
Please let me know if you want any further information.

What would be the web servendpoint for a scenario using sender SOAP adapter

Hi,
I have setup a scenario to consume a Service interface in SAP namespace. This is a asynch inbound SI which is not point to point enabled which means the WSDL we get are only the definitions with no endpoints. So I exported it as an external definition which I will then use as sender interface so the scenario looks like this:
Third Party -> SOAP Sender Adapter -> Outbound SI(Imported WSDL) -> XI Box (Mapping etc) -> Inbound SI -> XI Receiver Adapter -> ABAP box
Once all has been setup, for SOAP sender adapter for third party to send data the URL looks like this.
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel
But I dont think so this is the endpoint beacuse if I give this in browser I only get an OK status from XI box, what should I give to third party they can use as WSDL endpoint to generate the proxy/stub on their side to send data to SAP.

Adapter -> ABAP box
Inbound (receiver-end) Service Interface is to be developed from an imported WSDL......not the Outbound (Sender-end) Service Interface.....you actually did the procedure which needs to be done when SOAP is at receiver-end.
If you are clicking the WSDL tab in Service Interface and then taking it as the required WSDL then note that this is not the one.....it is to be generated from ID --> Tools --> Display WSDL (it will be based on the outbound SI)......this will have the end-point which you you mentioned
Now you give this WSDL to the sender application (it will have the end-point) and ask them to develop their coding accordingly.
If you need to view that WSDL in explorer, then you have to publish it somewhere....like in Service Registry (or WSnavigator)

Scenarios using Sender JMS adapter and Reciver JMS adapter

Hi All,
I am not able to find god step by step blog on senderJMS adapter and Receiver JMS adapter.
also please explain when we use JMS.What does a messng system means?please provide some examples.
Thanks and regards

Hi Goyal,
Messaging System :
Messaging system allows separate, uncoupled applications to reliably communicate asynchronously. The messaging system architecture generally replaces the client/server model with a peer-to-peer relationship between individual components, where each peer can send and receive messages to and from other peers.
Go thru this you will get better idea :
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Networking/messaging/
JMS adapter (Java Message Service) enables you to connect messaging systems to the Integration Engine or the PCK.

Sender RFC Adapter-- XI-- File Receiver Adapter ?

Dear Expert,
we are on PI 7.0 & R/3 system 4.7E WAS < 6.20. We have a scenario where in there are some huge downloads are required from R/3 to FTP File Location. For such scenarios Normally Poxy is suggested but Due to WAs Version limitation we cannot use Proxy. The other alternative is to use SENDER RFc adapter using RFC destination with XI. we have configured the RFC destination it is working fine.
I am able to receive the message also in XI. But whenever i am running this RFC in R/3 it is giving me the shot dump as follows. :
call to messaging system failed: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException:
The File is also getting written to the destination properly. But in XI also i get the following error.
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">

<SAP:Stack>Interface mapping http://Test/Zbilldwd ZBILLDWD_FILE_IM does not exist in runtime cache</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>N</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
What could be the reason of this.? As well i am geting 3 error messages in XI.
I have defined this interface as Inbound / Async Message interface with input message as output file structure. ( Is this configuration is OKAY ?)
pl. help me to solve this error.
Regards,
Umesh

HI,
Check your configuration from the message it states that it can not find out the mapping program.
Check the configuration Receiver and interface determination whether you are using the same which is designed in repository.

Using the RFC adapter (sender), how do I know which RFC is being sent?

Hello everyone!
Has anyone used the RFC adapter (sender) in XI to pick up RFC messages? How would I know which RFC is triggered for example when a user creates a PO (purchase order)?
Warm Regards,
Glenn

Glenn,
When u are writinfg RFC program, u will have destination right? There u know u have to give RFC Destination(SM59) while creating RFC destination we will be giving Program ID .
Similarly in XI while creating Sender RFC u have to give the program id. So with these program id these programs are linked together and triggered from R/3 to the exact Sender adapter.
Please see Michal weblog for more details

I hope it clears your doubt!!!

Sender RFC Adapter AND Rec. File Adapter

Hi
Workflow of my scenario is like this :
SAP R/3 ---> Sender RFC Adapter ---> XI Server -
> Rec. File Adapter -
> Legacy System
I am using Async Inbound interface for this as I dont need any response back & I just need to create file.
I am just picking some data from BAPI & creating a file on a folder in Legacy System.
Now during execution, file is getting created but I am getting dump on SAP R/3 and even when I am using Async communication, response is coming back from Legacy Business System ( service ) & giving an error " No Mapping Program Found " in sxmb_moni.
Kindly suggest how can I avoid getting response from Legacy System. Pls. take note again I am using Async Inbound Interface.
Regards
- Lalit -

Hi Lalit,
When your RFC is called from R/3 by default it would be in Sync mode. When this is in Sync mode it obviously will expect a response and where as in your scenario XI dose'nt give any response and there is no mapping for that and I think that is the reason you are getting that error.
So when your Sender RFC is triggered it will like this in ABAP
CALL Function "Function Name" <SM59 Destination>
and this is Sync call. To make it Async i should be
CALL Function "Function Name" IN BACKGROUND TASK <SM59 Destination>
Hoep this helps
Thanks,
Prakash

Sender RFC adapter High volume messaging

Hi,
This question is related to this thread:RFC connection problem
ERP system is sending through 1 RFC dest. (program ID) 20 requests in a minute. And PI starts to hang. ERP is not able tp sent the messages and after a while the request sent from ERP starts to get cancelled. This is a synchonous scenario. How can I handle such a high volume through 1 sender RFC adapter?

Hello
You can monitor the load on RFC adapter queues/threadsin the RWB
-> Component Monitoring
-> Adatper Engine XIP
-> Engine Status
-> Additional Data
See note #791655 Documentation of the XI Messaging System Service Properties, for an explaination of the queues.
To increase the number of threads/queues, see the blog:
1) /people/kenny.scott/blog/2007/08/20/messaging-system-queue-properties-after-xi-30-sp19-xi-70sp11
2) /people/kenny.scott/blog/2008/12/05/xipi-file-and-jdbc-receiver-adapter-performance-and-availability-improvements - this shows how to prevent a problem on one RFC channel blocking other RFC channels that you may be using.
Also, ensure note #937159 XI Adapter Engine is stuck, has been applied to help overall system performance.

Problem in Sender RFC adapter

Hi all,
Our scenarion is like this
RFC -> XI -> File
When we are calling the RFC ( inside a program ) from the client we are getitng a shortdump with the error ...
'JCO.Server could not find server function 'STOCK_ENQUIRY_OUT'
any idea where is the exact problem '?

Sender RFC Adapter - Data to be sent from R/3

I am working on a scenario where I have to send data from an RFC-enabled function module from R/3 to a file server via XI. The entire scenario is asynchronous.
Sender: RFC Adapter
Receiver: File Adapter
I have done all design and the configuration. Both communication channels are working. I have the RFC destination also set up correctly in R/3.
However, when I run my ABAP program where the RFC-enabled function module is called, I get a shortdump with the message "senderAgreement not found: lookup of binding via CPA-cache failed for".
Plus: " The error occurred during an RFC call to another system."
Could someone kidly help?

Hi,
Follow these steps :
1. import the ECC_ Server into ID if not done
2. Refresh Cache : Tcode SXI_CACHE
3. Please check for Sender agreement config
4. Check out the parameters when R/3 calls back XI, it passes the SYS-ID and client number and checks the same in the Integration Configuration Under Business System Service-> Adapter Specific Identifiers. The R/3 System ID and the client Number
Also check out these blogs..

Sender RFC Adapter only processes first message

Hi there,
we have a R/3 - XI - 3rd party scenario, where the R/3 - XI communication will be established through a RFC.
The RFC destination was properly configured in SM59 in R/3 and also was the XI's sender RFC adapter, with the same program ID.
We called the RFC in R/3 Abap code and the message succesfully arrived at XI (it could be found in SXMB_MONI). However, any other call from R/3 would not result in a message arriving at XI (no new entry in SXMB_MONI nor in Message Monitoring, at RWB). New messages only appear again if we set the status of the adapter to inactive and then active again. Then the message arrives, but again, only the first one.
Can anyone help with this?
Is there any misconfiguration in XI or RFC Destination?
Or is it the abap calling that should be processed in another way?
Thanks in advance,
Henrique.

Hi,
>>>Or is it the abap calling that should be processed in another way?
the important thing is the commit work
which must be done after call function
and you can only have one call function
before the commit work
do you see any other errors in SM58?
>>>Is there any misconfiguration in XI or RFC Destination?
Or is it the abap calling that should be processed in another way?
one or the other - no doubt about that

Sender RFC adapter Error- request was null while trying to extract it.

Hi All,
I have a scenario running in Production(PI 7.0 system) where SAP ECC sends RFC request through sender RFC adapter. The scenario was working fine but now I am getting the below error in default trace and I couldn't see any error in communication channel monitoring.
java.lang.Exception: RfcServer[BAS_ECC_RFC_Snd]1[AFSenderD] request was <null> while trying to extract it.
I have gone through the below thread and performed a full cache refresh but it didn't help :
[NULL]
I have gone through SAP note:730870 and I couldn't get any help on this error. Can you please suggest your ideas to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Laawanya

Hi Lawanya,
Check you RFC and input data , whether the RFC call is able to get the data from ECC or not.
you can test the same RFC in ECC with input data and you can check whether the RFC in ECC is return the value or not.
I gues in your case the RFC in ECC is not return any data to PI.

Sender RFC adapter - Tight coupling to an SAP client

Hi ,
We are using a sender RFC adapter to receive a RFC request from SAP , process the request in XI and then send back a response to SAP.
Our requirement is that , this request may come from different SAP clients(client 100, 130 , 200 etc). Looks like RFC adapter configured under a Business System in XI cannot listen to calls from multiple clients and works for only one client. We get dumps in SAP when invoking this RFC from other clients.
Also i hear that the same program id cannot be used in two different RFC sender adapters, meaning i have to create a different RFC destination , create a different program id for each client in SAP.
Is there a way around for this issue ?
Thanks
Saravana

Hi Saravana,
you may try a little workaround:
configure your rfc adapter only with client 100
and try invoking RFC from clients: 130 , 200
on the client 100 first (with a dummy RFC on client 100)
and then from this dummy RFC on client 100 you can start your standard RFC with your rfc adapter
don't know any other way:)

Sender RFC Adapter , Sender File Adapter - Payload Compression

Sender RFC Adapter or the Sender File Adapter compress the payload of any spaces in between the tags or remove any spaces at the start and end of the payload.
We need to pass the spaces as is in the message payload to the receiving system?
Is there a way to do it in PI 7.1.

Hi Vikrant,
Preserving white spaces while reading a file from FTP
NameA.fieldContentFormatting
- Enter trim to remove all the leading and subsequent blanks for a value found. This is the default.
- Specify nothing to ensure that the value remains unaltered.
For RFC you need to check your payload to see whether spaces are coming from R/3 itself or not.

How to filter emails using sender email adapter

Hi,
Does any one know how to filter emails of mail server using Sender email adapter(POP3 protocol ) in PI .
To make it more clear let us assume that there are 10 emails in the email server then 3 emails should be fetched for Interface A , 3 emails Should be fetched for Interface B and remaining 4 emails should be ignored and left in the email server as it is , the reason for this is that it is not related with the Interface A or Interface B. Any suggestion or solution will be much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Prabhat

Hi,
I guess you didnt get my requirement clearly. My requirement is how to filter emails from email server using sender Email adapter in POP3 protocl and pass it to relevant Interface.
For ex: suppose email no.1 is related to Interface A then it should go to Interface A
or email no. 2 is related to Interface B then it should go to Interface B
or if email no. 3 is junk mail then it should avoid deleting that email and leave that email as it is
The problem/challenge here is that email adapter of Interface A or B reads it first and deletes the email message so it is not available for the Interface A or B.
So I just want that sender email adapter should filter it before deleting email from the email server.
Can you provide some solution for this?
Thanks & Regards
Prabhat
