acknowledgement for asynch scenario using SOAP adapter

[Former Member]

Hi,

My scenario is SOAP to proxy asynchronous (using PI 7.1)

Sender is able to send the messages to XI using HTTPs protocol (SOAP adapter). since this is an asynchronous scenario XI could not send back any application acknowledge .

I understand if handshake is successful sender can see HTTP code 200 which is success.

1) Is it possible that though HTTP connection is successful and sender could not pass payload.

2) Is there any configuration needs to be done in PI 7.1 to send an acknowledge back to assure the sender that XI received payload.

3) Can we do the above using non BPM scenario.

or if BPM scenario is mandatory.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Vamsi,

By default once xi receives the data, it would trigger automatically. Please try to test from altova xml spy or soap ui, you should see it. But if you test it from integration engine you will not see it.

Thanks for the reply.

I did test using SOAP UI.

This is the message I got back which does not have any meaning.

<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<SOAP:Header/>

<SOAP:Body/>

</SOAP:Envelope>

But I can see the HTTP status code as 200 which is success, but this is not we want.

Can PI send any other form of acknowledgement.

No Vamsi. Thats the only thing we can send. Until unless you do synchronous communication.

Hi Vamsi,

<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<SOAP:Header/>

<SOAP:Body/>

</SOAP:Envelope>

above acknowledgement is seen on SOAP UI as soon as SOAP UI delivers the message to the PI (irrespective of what will happen with the message in the PI).

As you know in case of Async scenario Application Ack is not possible !

But if you want to be sure if payload is received successfully the you can use BPM wherein you can have a switch which will check the existance of payload. and as per your requirment you can take a decision.

Hi,

You can Create a Web Service on Sender side to which PI can send a proper response. Thus your scenario will be as follows.

Sender makes SOAP call to PI >> Async server proxy executes. >> from within proxy, trigger outbound proxy to send response >> PI send this response to Sender using SOAP Receiver.

You will need to have sender send some kind of identifier for message and return back to it as part of response.

server Proxy is asynchornous - how could it send a response

Could you anybody give little more details.

Thank You for your responses.

You can trigger an outbound proxy from an inbound proxy using following code within the inbound proxy.

SAP Link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/content.htm

You will find sample code here.

response >> PI send this response to Sender using SOAP Receiver

This now becomes two different scenarios:

SOAP_Sender --> PI --> Inbound_Proxy

Outbound_Proxy--> PI --> SOAP_Receiver.

Ask the ABAPer to trigger the Outbound_Proxy once the data is received by the Inbound_Proxy.

Both the proxies are different each with an asynchronous mode of execution. Get the service details from the original sender application to which you should send the response.
