Hi Deepak,

Like everyone mentioned, there's plenty of content for Adapter and custom module development. IMHO it would be a lot better if you can share what exactly you need it for. May be someone can help if the exact requirement is known.

Hope you give it a thought and share the same.

Cheers

Hi Deepak,

I haven't worked with LDAP connections, afaik you have the option to work with a new adapter or to work with java proxies http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10716e9f-23d7-2a10-8c8c-d2665615f...or SAP PI LDAP (Lookup) – UDF | Edgar Martínez – SAP, IT Professional

Hi Deepak,

It seems you are new to PI. I will try to explain you.

Modules - There are predefined modules in SAP PI like AnonymizerBean,PayloadZipBean etc. These are readily available and just you need to include the name and parameters in your Channel Configuration(which is based on adapter like File adapter, IDOC Adapter etc).

Custom Modules - The modules which are not available and are developed for a requirement which cannot be achieved by any means in SAP PI. Custom means modification, that clearly means which is not readily available.

Adapter - In PI which use channels, which are based on adapters. You can check any channel configurations.

Bibek above has already shared the links to implement the custom modules. You can find on google more links, based on which SAP PI version you are using.

For implementing these steps, you need to download NWDS SP12 from Service market place for which you need a service user id. After downloading just follow the steps provided in the given links, you will proceed toward your goal.

Thanks,

Nidhi

Hi Deepak,

Nidhi has explained perfectly each part, you can check this documentation as well: Developing Adapters and Modules - SAP Library

Just to add, before to develop a new module, you should learn carefully the current modules and adapters available because may you have one yet, if in SCN someone has developed a similar one (Eng Swee has shares a great ones and so on.

Also depending your requirement, may be you can do it with any workaround.

Hi Nidhi,

Thank you very much for your prompt response...Yes i am new to SAP PI ...

We are having the requirement to access LDAP server to pull the newly created user ID's.

Here in this case SAP PI need to login every time to LDAP server.

Now my doubt is, this login authentication will take care by custom module or adapter ?

we are at SAP PI 7.11 SP12. downloaded NWDS 7.11 SP12, (while updating failed to connect to the server for updation and downloaded the NWDS 7.31 SP17 and trying to connect to the server but facing the error remote exception: connection failure.)

Thanks & Regards,
