Hi Umesh,

These http error with 500 code are very difficult to debug because its a very generic error code.

What i would like you to do is try the following options patiently :

1) Log on to the server, where the XI is installed. Can you ping the receiver host?

2)Have a look at the SMICM->Trace file

3)If it is System Error, go to SMQ2 and check the status of this.

4)test the connection of AI_RUNTIME_JCOSERVER

5)HTTP 500 can be any problem at receiver side. Are you sure, that the payload fits to the receiver requirements?

Also i looked up this message "MESSAGE.DUPLICATE_DE" this comes when duplication of message takes place.

Hi Joel,

Thanx for your reply....

The Payload is ment for receiver party only & they have confirmed that they have received the IDOC.

does this means that it was not able to give back the delivery acknowledgement to our XI server.

how to take care of this so that it does not get repeated......? Is there any fix-pack / OSS note ?

pl. help.
