Configuring the IDoc Adapter (AAE)

During basic configuration, configuration settings for the IDoc adapter (AAE) are also performed.

More information on the adapter: Configuring the IDoc Adapter (Advanced Adapter Engine)

During basic configuration, the CTC wizard by default specifies the relevant resource adapter properties (of resource adapter inboundRA and JavaIdocAdapter ) and creates the necessary destinations. In particular, the destination XI_IDOC_DEFAULT_DESTINATION is created which ensures to connect to the IDoc metadata repository.

Depending on the chosen installation option, you need to specify different entries in the CTC wizard.

• When you have chosen the dual-stack installation option of PI, by default the SAP system of the Integration Server is chosen as system to connect to.

  Check in the corresponding dialog window of the CTC wizard (under IDoc Metadata Default Destination ) if Use Local System is chosen.

• When you have chosen the Advanced Adapter Engine Extended (AEX), you need to connect to an external system. In that case, in the corresponding dialog window of the CTC wizard (under IDoc Metadata Default Destination ) choose Use Remote System and specify the system details.

  The CTC Wizard dialog requests parameters in 2 steps. These parameters listed below are mostly customer-specific (the customer must set a value), some are set by the CTC Wizard by default:

  1. Creating XI_IDOC_DEFAULT_DESTINATION.
     This destination points to an ABAP system (can be the sender). You define the metadata on 3 tabs:

        • Target Host
        • System Number
        • System ID
        • Gateway Host
        • Gateteway Service
        • SNC
     2. Logon Data
        • Authentication
        • Language
        • Client
        • User Name
        • Password
     3. Specific Data

        Table 1: Pool Settings

        Data	Default Value
        Pooled Connection Mode	Yes
        Max. Connections	10
        Pool Size	5
        Max. Wait Time in ms	10
        Expiration Time in ms	300

  2. Setting Resource Adapter Properties
