Sender channel with HTTP adapter

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to set up the XI communication channel within XI in order to be able to receive external cXML invoices. In order to do this you need to choose an adapter. In this case we need to transfer the invoice data in via HTTP however the option to use this method for a ‘sender’ is not permitted in the XI box and I need it to be in order to proceed.

We didn´t worked with this adapter before so could you please help me on this?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!!

Hi Esther,

As I mentioned earlier, you do not need to specify the sender http communication channel.

Reason: We are pushing the message to XI.

Similarly we do not need Sender Idoc Adpater as we send an idoc from the sap system.

We need to specify Sender comm channel in File adapter

Reason : we do polling and the process is initiated by xi and not the sender syste.

When you need to send data using http, you need to send the message directly to XI Integration Engine.

In XI Integration Engine, we have pipeline services.

Where based on your message, Receiver System and Receiver Interface is determined.

So, in short you do not need any http adapter on sender side, and hence in ID you do not need any sender agreement as well.

In case you need any more help , please let me know .

And do not forget to award points

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for your responses but I think that I was not able to explain well my problem.

We are developing a new interface whit HTTP adapter at Sender Channel. My problem is that I can not select the option "sender" in the channel, just the option "receiver". As we never used this adapter I don´t know if only receiver channels can be created with this kind of adapter or we have bad configured the Adapter. Could you please help me? How can we configure the HTTP adapter? It is not possible to create sender channels with HTTP adapters?

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

Hey

as said by other guys,u dont configure HTTP sender adapter coz it sits on the ABAP stack of the integration server

what u have to do is create it like a normal scenario without any sender communication channel and no sender agreement.

now use a HTTP test tool(u can dowload it from sdn itself) to generate a URL .

now whatever system(i guess its cXML in ur case) wants to send data,he should use this URL and send the data.

thanx

Hi Eshther,

For sending XML message over http to XI you need not specify any sender adapter.

Just push you message to the integration engine directly.

To test this you can either use http client provided by sap or you can test your scenario using RWB as explained above.

If you have any other query, let me know.

Esther,

Go to Runtimeworkbench. Choose "Component Monitoring", and choose "Integration Engine" in the bottom of the page you can see the test message tool. Using that you can send messages to XI.

Best Regards,
