Passing SOAP Header fields from XI.

[Former Member]

Hi

I need to pass a few SOAP Header fields from XI in the SOAP call to the external system.

Anything I pass is being treated as part of the SOAP Body only.

Appreciate any help.

Rajendra.

Thanks for the links to the threads.

Are there any other options besides using XSLT for this?

Hi,

XSLT is the best option or you need to go for Java Mapping or ABAP Mapping. You can also try if you are ok with Adapter Module.

Hi,

Like mentioned use Java / XSLT or ABAP mapping .

If not use graphical + adapter module.

Hi,

If you are using Adapter Module you can go with any mapping. Yes you can live with Graphical mapping. But if you do XSLT mapping which makes life simpler and there is no need for Adapter module.

True, but not likely, until the upgrade a few months later.

Any other possible alternates that can get the scenario to work?

Appreciate all help.

Hi,

What is your target strucutre? Is id with those Envelope tags? please use only payload strucutre in the target and do the XSLT mapping properly

Thanks,

If I remove the SOAP Envelope from XSLT mapping, it's showing the mapping has an error and is not valid.

By the way, I'm on (XI3.0) SP12.

Could that be a reason why I'm not seeing the 'Do not use SOAP...' checkbox?

Hi,

Woww thats pretty older SP. Better try to bring atleast above SP14, you cannot do many thing under SP14 like Adapter Specific message attributes, Multimapping without BPM, etc...

Thanks,

Yes, Prakash.

This SOAP Envelope is generated in the XSLT mapping.

Yes, this is the payload after request mapping stage in SXMB_MONI.

Appreciate your help.

Rajendra.

Hi,

Try generating only the payload structure in the XSLT mapping instead of the whole SOAP envelope. Remove that SOAP Envelope from the XSLT.

Thanks, Prakash for the quick reply.

Under conversion parameters I'm only seeing (I'm on XI 3.0):

- Keep Headers

- Keep Attachments

- Use Encoded Headers

- Use Query String

Here's the XMl payload:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://www.approva.net/BizRights/Services">

<soapenv:Header>

<ns1:BRSoapHeader/>

</soapenv:Header>

<soapenv:Body>

<ns1:Enumerate>

<ns1:objType>ApprovalRequest</ns1:objType>

<ns1:pageObject>

<startIndex>0</startIndex>

<pageSize>10</pageSize>

<totalRows>0</totalRows>

<moreRecords>false</moreRecords>

<rowsReturned>0</rowsReturned>

</ns1:pageObject>

<searchObject>

<searchFields>

<string>status</string>

</searchFields>

<searchValues>

<string>all</string>

</searchValues>

</searchObject>

</ns1:Enumerate>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

Thank you for the help.

Rajendra.

Hi,

Check out this link and look at under COnversion parameters

How that SOAP Envelope is generated? Did you generate in the XSLT mapping. Is this the payload that you find after request mapping stage in SXMB_MONI?

Thanks,

Prakash

[Former Member]

If I copy the payload (achieved through XSLT mapping) and paste in the SOAP client, the response is successful. XI gives an error, 'PARSING">ADAPTER.SOAP_EXCEPTION' with 'soap fault: Server was unable to process request. --> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' in Additional Text.

Trying to get it to work.

Any help is appreciated.

[former_member206604]

Hi,

How is XML payload looking like ,did you add the SOAP envelope in XSLT mapping if so check 'Do Not Use SOAP Envelope'. Please post the XML playload

Thanks,

Where do I uncheck the 'Do Not Use SOAP Envelope'?

Rajendra.

XI 3.0

Hi,

<i>>>>Where do I uncheck the 'Do Not Use SOAP Envelope'?</i>

You will find 'Do Not Use SOAP Envelope' under "Conversion Parameters" of SOAP Adapter.

Thanks,
