Hi,

and how can i put the link in the http receiver channel?

please give me some instructions.

Hey

Could you please check if the Message ID for both the messages are same,its possible that due to loop it has the same message ID for both the messages and is giving error.

if you got this error in the second message(HTTP to File),then atleast it means the first message (IDOC to HTTP) is correct which fulfils your testing:)

Thanks

yes, i did that.

the link i tried is

http://host:port/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=http%3A//company.com/dummnamespace&interface=Int_dum...

but in http receiver channel,

target host, service number, and path need to be configured.

what i should enter for service number, and for the logon, i should choose the logon data for sap system, right, and give the username and password to logon the PI server, right?

thanks a lot

Go to SMICM in XI system and then hit Shift+F1,this will give you Host and Port.

use this Host as Host and Port as Service Number in receiver HTTP communication channel.

path prefix will be rest of the URL.

Hey

First generate the URL for HTTP to File scenario by using HTTP test tool(you can download that from SDN).Once you have the HTTP URL,specify that in the receiver HTTP channel of Idoc to HTTP scenario.

Thanks
