Configure the sender SOAP adapter to send content from remote clients or Web service servers to the Integration Server/Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK).
If you want to handle acknowledgments, you must create a HTTP destination in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator (NWA)
For more information, see Maintaining HTTP Destinations
Select the Transport Protocol as HTTP .
If you want to send information from a remote client or a Web service server to the Integration Server/PCK, then select the Message Protocol as SOAP 1.1 . If you want to send an XI message from a legacy system or AAE through the SOAP Adapter, then select the Message Protocol as XI 3.0 .
Select the Adapter Engine on the Integration Server, or select a non-centrally installed Adapter Engine.
This selection is not available in the PCK.
1. Define Inbound Security Checks
From the HTTP Security level drop-down, select the security level for the inbound message.
For more information, see the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Security Guide.
You can only define inbound security checks for the SOAP 1.1 message protocol.
2. Define Security Parameters
If you want to make additional settings for security in the relevant sender agreement on the Integration Server or in the PCK, select Select Security Profile .
For more information, see SAP NetWeaver Library under .
If you select Security Profile , there must be exactly one sender agreement for the defined communication channel.
Under Security Profile select:
Web Services Security
S/MIME
For XI 3.0 message protocol, you can use only web services security as the security profile.
Specify the Persist Duration for messages in days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
3. Specify XI Bulk Message Handling
Select the Message Protocol as XI 3.0 .
Select the Split XI bulk Messages check-box if you want to:
Split the incoming bulk message into individual messages
Use module chain configurations for the messages that are split
4. Define Conversion Parameters
If the adapter is to expect a message without a SOAP envelope, select Use No SOAP Envelope .
In addition specify nosoap=true in the URL.
The adapter puts the whole message in the XI payload.
To include the header of the Web service message in the XI message, select Keep Headers .
To include attachments of the Web service message in the XI message, select Keep Attachments .
If the XI header information is to be included in the encoded string, select Use Encoded Headers .
If the XI header information is to be included in a query string, select Use Query String .
Conversion Parameters are available only if you select the Message Protocol as SOAP 1.1 .
5. Define Processing Parameters
Under Quality of Service , specify how the message is to be processed by the Integration Engine/PCK.
For Exactly Once In Order Quality of Service enter the Queue Name .
For more information, see Quality of Service and
6. Define Adapter-Specific Message Properties
Select the Advanced tab page.
To save adapter-specific attributes in the message header of the XI message, select Set Adapter-Specific Message Properties .
The following attributes are added to the XI message header if the sender makes them available, and if you select Variable Transport Binding .
Remote User : (technical name: SRemoteUser )
Remote Host : (technical name: SRemoteHost )
SOAP Action (technical name: SHeaderSOAPACTION )
To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator. You can then store the following attributes and their values in the XI message header:
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName1 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName2 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName3 )
The names of the fields and parameters must correspond to the names of the fields and parameters that also go through the HTTP request.
The attribute namespace for the adapter is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP .
7. Define the Adapter Status
Set the adapter to Active to enable messages to be exchanged.
Adapter Status is available only if you select the Message Protocol as SOAP 1.1 .
8. Define Acknowledgement Destinations
You can define acknowledgement destinations for external entities that communicate with AAE using SOAP XI adapter. Some of the examples of such entities are ABAP proxy applications, integration servers, and Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK).
From the Message Protocol dropdown listbox, choose XI 3.0 .
Choose the Acknowledgement Handling tab.
In the HTTP destination (from NWA) field, specify the HTTP destination that you have created in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
You have configured the SOAP sender adapter. You can trigger a call to the sender SOAP adapter using either of the following URLs. However, SAP recommends you to use the second option.
http:// <host name> : <port name> /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel= <party name> : <service name> : <channel name> . If you have not created a party, enter channel=: <service name> : <channel name>
http:// <host name> : <port name> /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?senderParty= <name of the sender party> &senderService= <name of the sender service> &interface= <name of the interface> &receiverParty= <name of the receiver party> &receiverService= <name of the receiver service> &interfaceNamespace= <name of the interface namespace>
You must specify the parameters in the URL even if some of them do not have values.
