XI Receiver Channel - Dynamic Logon Language

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is there any way to define dynamically the logon language in XI Receiver Channel?

Our cenario is an ECC -> PI -> ECC integration using XI sender and receiver channel. Depending on a specific element in message payload we want to define the corresponding logon language in receiver system. The goal is to return messages to sender system (synchronous scenario) in a language that each user can understand..

Do you have any ideas about how can we achieve such requirement?

Thanks in advance,

You can do logon in standard language (eg. EN) and than get data into a specific language that you pass to ECC by an input parameter.

Is possible to solve by this way?

Hi,

Our priority is to solve the problem in PI context and try to avoid doing any kind of changes in ECC system.

Principal Propagation is not really an option because users in sender system don't exist in receiver system.

Does anyone has a solution for this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Pedro Leal

RFC lookup to BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL in the receiver/sender (this is a standard BAPI provided by SAP) to get user's logon data so you can grab its logon language ?

Hello,

The problem is not related with grabbing the logon language of user in sender system. The problem is to set dynamically, in XI receiver channel, the logon language.

Imagine that the logon language of user in sender system is ES (spanish), we want to execute an inbound proxy, which then calls a standard BAPI, and return BAPI messages in spanish to caller system.

You cannot dynamically set logon language. You might want to try using Unicode option in the RFC channel. This might help you.

OK, right ... As XI adapter does not (seem to) offer ASMA for dynamic logon data management and I don't think you could extend its functionalities with your own custom module neither

And you can't change anything at all in the target system ? Tough mission then ... If you don"t have many languages to handled, you could try to use multiple adapters, one created for each language, and depending on your conditions, route the messages using the appropriate RFC channel ? But I think it's quite a poor design

Gopal, setting the unicode option won't tell the target system which language to use when creating response messages ?

You can login in EN language in receiver side, and pass a input parameter with language (ES), than read text message in spain in ECC receiver.

Is it good for you?

Hi,

We are trying to avoid doing any kind of changes at ECC side. The communication channel that we are using is XI Receiver Channel.

Is there any solution to achieve this scenario in SAP PI side?

Thanks,

Hi Pedro,

Maybe using Principal Propagation could do the trick ? Userid would be propagated along the way and response system would use this userid's SY-LANG to create the msg content accordingly ?

Otherwise, some kind of lookup would also be feasible, depending on your scenario
