Exchange Profile Parameters

The exchange profile is an XML document, which is stored in the main database of PI. The parameters in the exchange profile define some basic technical settings. Most of these parameters are initialized automatically during installation, but in some cases the administrator may need to maintain them.

• To connect to the Integration Server, you have created the XI_EXCHANGE_PROFILE RFC destination in SAP NetWeaver Administrator,  Configuration  Infrastructure  Destinations .

  The default user is PILDUSER.

  Note

  SAP recommends to secure the connection using SNC.

• To maintain the exchange profile parameters, a user with AS Java security role administer is required. This role is mapped to role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR_J2EE in AS ABAP as the default setting.

To maintain the exchange profile parameters, perform the following steps:

1. Access the exchange profile maintenance page at: http://<host:port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/com.sap.xi.exprofui/XIProfileApp

   This URL points to a Web-based interface for editing the exchange profile.

   The variables host and port are the hostname and connection port of your Integration Server.

2. Log on with a user name and a password.

3. Make your changes.

   After the connection parameters are set, the profile main page is displayed again, and now shows the database content as a tree structure.

   In addition, the exchange profile maintenance page provides functions to import a new XML file containing profile parameters, or to export the current configuration as an XML document.

   Note

   After any modifications, you must restart the Integration Server in order for the changes to take effect.
