SOAP Custom Header in Receiver Channel

[Former Member]

I am planning on an integration with Salesforce.com a Popular Hosted CRM solution, and am challenged by the SOAP Headers requirement. The Salesforce.com API requires you to pass on the SessionId, which was retrieved earlier using another SOAP call to the login URL, in every message as a SOAP Header.

How can I modify the SOAP Header structure to include the SessionId Dynamically, and the SOAP TargetURL.

use dynamic configuration and set the soap header

ref: Define Adapter-Specific Message Attributes section in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/44/8c4756224a6fb5e10000000a155369/frameset.htm

Thanks.

I have looked at the Axis framework, and it needs components to be installed on the Server, I am working with the Basis team to get that installed, But I am running against a Tight Schedule, and practically am not seeing that as an immediate possibility. I will push more on installing that.

Are there any other ways to do the same thing.

The Axis Framework is available only from XI3.0 SP20 per Note: https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1039369 . So looks like that is not a possibility.

Other options Please

no i am not talking about the axis framework - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/29/5bd93f130f9215e10000000a155106/content.htm

its the soap receiver adapter - adapter specific message attributes. you can dynamically program it to add custom headers

I dont think I have that option, Judging from the Screenshot... http://stashbox.org/654662/SOAP%20Adapter.JPG

Am I missing something here.

I forgot to mention, that I am on SAP XI3.0 NW04 SP15

Hey Shree,

Along with Adapter-Specific Message Attributes, you have to select Variable Header option in your receiver CC

and later on you have to write an UDF for populate the values in the header variables XHeaderName1 andXHeaderName2 with the targetURL.

Check out the below link for the sample UDF :

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/03612cdecc6e76e10000000a422035/frameset.htm

for your case, it ould be something like :

DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);

DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","XHeaderName1");

DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","XHeaderName2");

conf.put(key1, <ProvideYourTargetURL>);
conf.put(key2, <ProvieYourSessioonID>);

Where can I see this option Variable Header. I seem to be missing it, or I might be on an old Service Pack. Can you send a screenshot for visualization Please.

Hello, I don't rights to move this post but I suggest you post your question to the Business Objects [OnDemand|; forum

Thank you

That forum seems to concentrate on Crystal reports and Business Objects. But I am working in SAP XI Environment, Do you think, it would you think I would get a relevant answer in that Forum

In your CC Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes and Variable Transport Binding options are already selected.

Just go ahead and write an UDF in your MM to populate values to XHeaderName1 and XHeaderName2.

Have a look at the following thread :

I was able to get the SOAP URL Set Dynamically...

Only one more issue remaining,,, How to add additional Session Header Tags..

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

In general, you could pass three values dynamically for the Header into variables XHeaderName1, XHeaderName2 and XHeaderName3.

Have a look at the following document : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b092777b-ee47-2a10-17b3-c5f59380957f&override...
