Polling with http-adapter (XI 7.0)?

[Former Member]

Hi,

does somebody has any experience about an implementation of a scheduled polling mechanism using the http-adapter (similary to file-adapter)?

Thanx in advance, alexander

Hi Alexander,

Machanism for HTTP adaapter is different.There is no polling Schedule.You can Set the HTTP time out time.

With transaction SXMB_ADM> put RUNTIME and then display specific configuration

there you can increase the TIMEOUT time and save.

The plain HTTP adapter is used by external systems to connect to the integration engine using the native HTTP interface

The adapter at the inbound channel is located before the integration engine pipeline and calls this pipeline

The adapter at the outbound channel is called by the pipeline and can be regarded as part of pipeline

Module processor not used

HTTP client connects to integration server (ABAP) directly and the HTTP request should contain all relevant header information about sender.

Hi

Http Adapter cannot be scheduled as it sends the data to XI unlike File Adapter.

Thanks

HTTP adapter doesn't works on pull mechanism(get) as the File adapter behaves.

HTTP adapter works on push mechanism(post) so its not possible to schedule it,the sender system must be scheduled to push the data to the integration server at the scheduled interval.

though it is possible to configure HTTP as a <i>get</i> mechanism but its a different approach.
