Archiving XML messages on PI 7.3

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We need to perform XML messages archiving on PI 7.3.

Can somebody provide me the complete procedure and checks to performed before performing the archiving?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Manu,

I assume you have PI 7.3 Single Stack Java only installation. Please find the below procedure:

The archiving procedures for the Adapter Framework are configured in the Runtime

Workbench:

 Open the Runtime Workbench, select Component Monitoring, and choose an

Adapter Engine.

 In the lower window, choose Background Processing and Security Archiving.

There are two kinds of messages that you can archive in the Adapter Framework:

normal and signed messages.

Signed messages contain additional information (the signatures from the parties);

otherwise signed and unsigned messages are the same. Signed messages may

need to be archived for legal reasons. Both types of messages are stored locally on

a database for the Adapter Framework and therefore need a separate archiving

process. Signed and unsigned messages are also archived in different ways.

If you would like to archive messages, you need to specify them; all other messages

are automatically deleted.

To check if archiving is performed:

 Go to the Runtime Workbench and select Component Monitoring.

 Choose All and click the Adapter Engine.

At this point you can either choose Security Archiving or Background Processing.

Both will then display an interface to implement and monitor your archiving process.

In both cases you need to choose the timeframe and the interval of the archiving

(Java) process. It is also possible to check the status of archiving. Note that prior to

archiving, the DAS (Data Archiving Service) has to be set up, in which, for example,

the location of the archived messages has to be defined (see the documentation in

SAP Library).

If you want to look at the archive, go to Message Monitoring in the Runtime

Workbench.

In the two dropdown lists, choose the specific Adapter Engine you want to view

archives from. Choose Archives if you want to see messages that are in the archive.

Make sure that you also enter selection values; otherwise no archived messages will

be displayed.

You can now display archived messages.

Hi,

Is there is a difference between archiving in PI 7.1 and PI 7.3?

I don't think any major changes are there for Archiving process.

Hi Manu,

I don't think you have gone through the document.

SAP NetWeaver 7.3 Troubleshooting Guide

Check Chapter: 16 Archiving. You will find Archiving related to the below Parts which will provide all the details of Java and ABAP Stack.

•  Adapter Framework (Java Stack)
•  Integration Server (ABAP Stack)
•  Business Process Engine
•  Connected Proxy systems
