Notification about error on sync interface

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We a have a scenario with a sync call to a WebService, but sometimes WebService is unavailable, which throuths Connection Timeout error on XI. I want to inform the responsible person about it. I have created a Fault MEssage Type, define it in sync interface in WebService. But what next? How do I define the way to map this Fault Type and the destination where it should be sended?

Thanks for you answers!

From the beginning, ur problem was not at all related to Fault message. Bcoz ur problem is that webservice is not reached at all. Fault will only get generated when webservice is reached and in its execution it is getting some improper value. This is not ur case.

U can notify the person by some alert. Configure alert for the errors and ur problem is solved.

Hi ,

Are you using WSDL in your application provided by Web Service or Something else .

If you are using WSDL and it doesn't have Fault message type then you will not be able to see the tab.

Thanks for your answer! But I have already solved the problem with missing Fault tab in Interface Mapping, now I have another problem, please look at my previous two messages.

and where I can get XSD for this type of Error message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

Hello Experts,

we have finaly defined an Exeption type for the RFC, I have created the mapping for Fault messages and added it to the Interface Mapping.

The problem right now is that this mapping is not executed for some reasons, when error is happening.

This error is returned (System error):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<!-- Call Adapter-->

<SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">

<SAP:Category>XIAdapterFramework</SAP:Category>

<SAP:Code area="MESSAGE">GENERAL</SAP:Code>

<SAP:P1 />

<SAP:P2 />

<SAP:P3 />

<SAP:P4 />

<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (errno:239)</SAP:AdditionalText>

<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />

<SAP:Stack />

<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>

</SAP:Error>

And nothing happens, no mapping is executed, no Exeption message is sended back to the RFC.

Could you please help me with this issue.

Hi,

Fault message is a error meesage. Its like an exception in simple terms. The fault message is used to

store a log for application error. Fault messages is defined in IR.

To give a overview on Fault messages it is mostly used in synchronous communication. When an error

occurs at the inbound side instead of sending the response message back it sends a fault message back

to the sender system to handle error.

Fault Message are Msg type that provided whenever u create a namespace..they are usually used to get

the exception or error mapped which has occured while execution of Application at the sender/receiver

end....

Fault messages are used to propogate / send back the error message to the calling application. This is

used when there is a failure and the sending system needs to know what the error was. This is more of

catching Application Errors

Thank for your replay.

The problem is that there is no Fault tab in my Interface mapping. Maybe it is because 2 mapping programs are used for response mapping?

Hi,

Are you sure that you are checking it on Inbound side interface.

the below link will give all step by step to implement Fault message

i have find out the problem why the Fault tab is not showing in Interface mapping: there is no Fault message type defined in source RFC.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Yep, you have to create the Fault message type first inorder to get it.
