How to get communication channel source directory programmatically

[steve_coombes]

Hello,

Some of our users download files from third party applications and import into SAP using a PI file to BAPI interface.

I'd like to automate the configuration of the manual file upload, and am looking at which tables I can use to get information about available communication channels.

I would like to get the source directory for a sender file communication channel, and it's status (active/inactive). I can see the communication channels in SSRVCHANNEL but don't know which other tables I can use to get more details on them.

I have seen a SCN post which recommends looking at the PI Java stack database, but I have also been told that PI has one database shared by the Java and ABAP stacks.

Kind regards

Steve

Hi, no use to browse tables, you have access to all configuration objects with the Integration Directory Programming Interface (SAP Library - Integration Directory). Please also refer to one of William Li's blogs about the . He has several blogs about the API, so also do a search in his content.

Hello Martin

Thanks for your reply. The Directory API looks very useful.

Kind regards

If you don't want to start from scratch, you can try some tools available already.

Thanks, Sunil.

I had seen those pages but hadn't wanted to use Excel (for the moment at least). Now I see that there are links to the Directory API that I could have followed.

Instead, I would like to create Java clients for the Directory API web services. JAX-WS wouldn't work with the WSDL's on the first attempt but I'll have another go later.

Kind regards

Steve
