Going through messages in PI using http requests

Former Member

Hi,

I'm researching for an external tool that will handle PI channels.

I'm aware of the stop, start and status actions that can be used in an http request.

But what if I want more detailed information?

For example, if a channel is in status error, is there an http request to get details about the error?

What about messages? Is there a request I can use to find out what messages came through the channel?

So what else can I get using http requests besides the basic 3 actions?

What about RFC calls? Can they be used to get more information on channels/errors/messages?

Someone has a guide, about the http calls/RFC that can be used.

Thanks!

Hi Nivo - Why don't you setup the alerts to get the error information/message details of the failed messages? Isn't it enough?

That way no need to send the request manually to know the status.. you'll get notified when there is an error..

I'm not sure if we have some method to retrieve the messages that got processed by a particular channel though a HTTP request(externally)

Thing is that one of the requirements is to limit the need to go to SAP and check the errors.

Also, there is a need to watch for certain message, not necessarily if only error occurred and trigger stuff in my application.

The tool I'm working on is an enterprise one that also interacts with other applications in the organization, so if I want to create dependencies between different applications covered in my tool I need to get more information than just the status of the channel.

So, I hope for some additional http calls to get more information, but if there are none, then I'll have to do with what we have
