Configuring the Plain HTTP Sender AdapterLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

If you also want to configure security checks for the plain HTTP inbound channel or define adapter-specific attributes in the message header, create a communication channel in the Integration Directory.

Prerequisites

You have defined an HTTP query.

More information: Defining Query for Plain HTTP Inbound Channel

Procedure
  1. The Transport Protocol, Message Protocol, and Adapter Engine are predefined.

Define the Security Check for Incoming Messages

  1. Under Security Check for Incoming Messages, you can select which HTTP Security Level is to be required for incoming messages:
    • HTTP
    • HTTPS Without Client Authentication
    • HTTPS with Client Authentication
  2. Create a relevant sender agreement in the Integration Directory.

    For more information on HTTPS with or without a client authentication, see SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Security Guide → Network and Transport Layer Security → HTTP and SSL under Enforcing HTTP Security for Incoming Messages.

Define Adapter-Specific Message Attributes

  1. To save adapter-specific attributes in the message header of the XI message, select Set Adapter-Specific Message Attributes.

    To copy the non-PI-specific http header field or URL parameters, choose Copy HTTP Header Fields and Copy URL Parameters. You can store the following attributes and their values in the XI message header:

    • Field 1, …, 6: (technical name: HeaderFieldOne, .... HeaderFieldSix)
    • Parameter 1, …, 6: (technical name: URLParamOne, …, URLParamSix)

    The names of the fields and parameters must correspond to the names of the fields and parameters that are also to be sent by an HTTP request.

  2. To evaluate adapter attributes in the synchronous response, choose HTTP Header Fields (Synchronous Response) and enter the fields in the fields Field 1 to Field 6.

    The fields are recorded in the HTTP response under the names you enter here.

    The technical names of the fields are HeaderFieldOne,...,HeaderFieldSix.

    The attribute namespace for the adapter is: http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP.
