custom (edifact) adapter not running ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

We deployed EDIFACT adapter (open source - corporate business solutions) in our PI 7.0 system. I am able to configure communication channel for this adapter. Communication channel monitoring log display the error message "no adapter registered for this channel". Adapter status is "n/a".

adapter engine monitoring is displaying this adapter in adapters list. However, when I choose "Installed and started adapters", then this custom adapter does not show up.

I could not find any service related to this adapter in visual admin either.

Please help.

Regards,

MK

Hi MK,

we have installed the same adapter and I also had some issues here.

Please check:

- the JNDI-setting in the module tab (you need to excactly give the name that is listed in their documentation)

- the Adapter Metadata namespace (this is hardcoded in the adapter and you can need to follow that name:

http://cbsgmbh.com/xi/EDIFACT/Adapter

- that you used the source code for 7.0 (they also supply adapter for 7.1)

Best regards,

Markus

Hi Markus,

- the JNDI-setting in the module tab (you need to excactly give the name that is listed in their documentation)

I did not find this in documentation. I am referring to "opi2_EDIFACT_Adapter_Configuration_Guide_v11.pdf". Please elaborate on this setting.

- the Adapter Metadata namespace (this is hardcoded in the adapter and you can need to follow that name:

http://cbsgmbh.com/xi/EDIFACT/Adapter

As per documentation (The above PDF), adapter name space should be "http://openpi2.org/pi/EDIFACT/Adapter" and adapter metadata name "OpenPI_EDIFACT_Adapter".

Can you please provide me the link for documentation that you are referring to?

Also, can you please provide me depolyable version (SCA)? I will try to re-deploy.

Thank you for your help,

Hi,

the version I was referring to is for 7.1 (and also the docu)

Did you build the deployable file from the provided source code?

If yes, search for the adapter name and namespace that you have used based on the 7.0 documentation in the sourcecode and in the metadata file.

May be docu or source code are not up to date.

Providing the sca-file would not make much sense because my file is for 7.1. which would not run under 7.0

Thank you so much for your help. It works.

However, where to get XSD/schema files for EDI transactions like "DESADV" for Advanced shipment Notice, "INVOIC" etc ? I need to do the mapping in XI and need EDI structures to be imported to IR.

The following link is given in documentation. But, it does not work.

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=216418&package_id=263478&release_id=577546

Google search on EDI schema structures did not help.

Please help.

I have posted separate thread (below) on this follow up question. Please respond to either one of these threads.

Kind Regards,

MK
