Inbound adapter properties for SAP

Inbound adapter properties hold the inbound event processing configuration information for a message endpoint. These properties also control the general operation of the adapter. Use the Adapter Connection wizard to set these properties.

These properties are used during endpoint activation to notify the adapter of eligible event listeners. During inbound processing, the adapter uses these event listeners to receive events before it forwards them to the endpoint.

The following table lists the properties for inbound processing that you set by using the Adapter Connection wizard. A more detailed description of each property is provided in the sections that follow the table.

Adapter ID to use for logging and tracing (AdapterID)

This property identifies a specific deployment, or instance, of the adapter.

Table 2. Adapter ID to use for logging and tracing details
Required Yes
Default 001
Property type String
Usage This property identifies the adapter instance in the log and trace files, and also helps identify the adapter instance while monitoring adapters. The adapter ID is used with an adapter-specific identifier, SAPRA, to form the component name used by the Log and Trace Analyzer tool. For example, if the adapter ID property is set to 001, the component ID is SAPRA001.

If you run multiple instances of the same adapter, ensure that the first eight characters of the adapter ID property are unique for each instance so that you can correlate the log and trace information to a particular adapter instance. By making the first seven characters of an adapter ID property unique, the component ID for multiple instances of that adapter is also unique, allowing you to correlate the log and trace information to a particular instance of an adapter.

For example, when you set the adapter ID property of two instances of WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software to 001 and 002. The component IDs for those instances, SAPRA001 and SAPRA002, are short enough to remain unique, enabling you to distinguish them as separate adapter instances. However, instances with longer adapter ID properties cannot be distinguished from each other. If you set the adapter ID properties of two instances to Instance01 and Instance02, you will not be able to examine the log and trace information for each adapter instance because the component ID for both instances is truncated to SAPRAInstance.

For inbound processing, this property is retrieved from the resource adapter properties. For outbound processing, it is retrieved from the managed connection factory properties.

Globalized Yes
Bidi supported No

ALE packet audit

ALE update per packet indicates whether the adapter should send ALEAUD audit IDocs per packet or per IDoc.

Table 3. ALE packet audit details
Required No
Default False (send ALEAUD per IDoc).
Property type Boolean
Usage

You can enable and disable this property only if the ALE update status property is set to True.

When you set this property to true, the adapter sends one ALEAUD per IDoc packet which contains confirmations for all IDocs in the packet.

When you set this property to false, the adapter sends one ALEAUD for each IDoc received at the adapter.

Globalized No
Bidi supported No

Required Yes
Possible values

True
False

Default False
Property type Boolean
Usage Set this property to True if you want the adapter to update a standard SAP status code after the ALE module has retrieved an IDoc object for event processing.
If you set this value to True, you must also set following properties:
  • ALE failure code
  • ALE Success code
  • ALE failure text
  • ALE success text.
Globalized No
Bidi supported No

Assured once-only delivery (AssuredOnceDelivery)

This property specifies whether to provide assured once-only delivery for inbound events.

Table 5. Assured once-only delivery details
Required Yes
Default True
Property type Boolean
Usage

When this property is set to True, the adapter provides assured once-only event delivery, so that each event is delivered only once. A value of False does not provide assured once-only event delivery, but provides better performance.

When this property is set to True, the adapter attempts to store transaction (XID) information in the event store. If it is set to False, the adapter does not attempt to store the information.

This property is used only if the export component is transactional. If the export component is not transactional, no transaction can be used, regardless of the value of this property.

Globalized No

Table 6. Auto create event table details
Required Yes if Assured once-only event delivery is set to True; otherwise, no.
Possible values

True
False

Default True
Property type Boolean
Usage This property indicates whether the adapter should create the event recovery table automatically if it does not already exist.

If you specify a value of True to automatically create the table, you must specify information about the event table (such as the event recovery table name).

The value that is provided in Event recovery table name property is used to create the table.

For a full listing of languages and associated code page numbers that are supported by SAP, see SAP Note 7360.

Default The default value for this property is conditionally determined by the value set for the Language code property.
Property type Integer
Usage

The value that is assigned to the Codepage number defines the code page to be used and has a one-to-one relationship with the value set for the Language code property. The Codepage number establishes a connection to the appropriate language.

Each language code value has a code page number value associated with it. For example, the language code for English is EN. If you select EN (English) as your language code, the code page number is automatically set to the numeric value that is associated with EN (English). The SAP code page number for EN (English) is 1100.

Example

If Language code is set to JA (Japanese), Codepage number is set to 8000.

Globalized No
Bidi supported No

Failure code (aleFailureCode)

Default 51
Property type Integer
Usage Set a value for this property only if you set the value for the ALE update status property to True.

Specify a value of 68 for this property to cause the adapter to update the SAP failure status code after the ALE module has retrieved an IDoc object for event processing. SAP converts this value to 40 (Application Document not created in receiving system).

When you set the AleUpdateStatus property to True, the adapter updates a standard SAP status code after the adapter retrieves an IDoc object for event processing. An IDoc that is not sent successfully to the endpoint is considered to be a failure. Use the ALE failure code property to specify the code that is used to signify this failure.

Globalized No

Table 22. Ignore IDOC packet errors details
Required No
Possible values

True
False

Default False
Property type Boolean
Usage
If the adapter encounters an error while processing the IDoc packet, it can behave in two different ways.
  • When this property is set to False, the adapter stops processing further IDocs in that packet and reports an error to the SAP system.
  • When this property is set to True, the adapter logs an error and continues to process the rest of the IDocs in that packet.

    The status of the transaction is marked as INPROGRESS. The adapter log displays the IDoc numbers that failed and you need to resubmit those individual IDocs separately. You need to manually maintain these records in the event recovery table.

Note: Configure the Time between retries in case of system connection failure (milliseconds) appropriately when retrying infinitely.

For each retry attempt, the adapter waits based on the time interval specified in the Time between retries in case of system connection failure (milliseconds).

Note: If all the retry attempts fail, the adapter logs relevant messages and CEI events and stops attempting to recover the event listener. If you reach this point, you might have to restart the application manually.
Globalized No

This file is created in the directory in which the adapter process was started. The file has a prefix of rfx and a file type of trc (for example, rfc03912_02220.trc).

Use these text files in a development environment only, because the files can grow rapidly.

Example

Examples of the information in the file are RfcCall FUNCTION BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETLIST, followed by the information for the parameters in the interface, or RFC Info rfctable, followed by the data from one of the interface tables.

The trace file is created in the directory where the adapter process has been started. The trace file has a .trc file extension and the file name will start with the letters rfc followed by a unique identifier. For example, rfc03912_02220.trc.
