Externalized Parameters in SAP CPI

Editor Leave a comment

This blog will explain externalized parameters in SAP CPI and then how to use it in other configurations like a groovy script, content modifiers, etc.

This article will cover a list of common errors in SAP CPI. The document will have an error handling list and their solutions.

Here are a few of the common errors in SAP CPI  which was encountered while working on different SAP CPI interfaces.

Error Handling in REST Adapter – SAP PI

Editor Leave a comment

This blog will show how to do error handling in REST Adapter. The REST adapter supports Custom Error Handling when used as Sender or receiver.

You can use a custom error handling to define how the adapter will react to certain error codes with custom result messages. Besides, you can create error conditions based on the content of the message data.

In this example when PI will have a mapping error, it will send the custom message as a response to the user. This is simple error handling but it should be good to understand the mechanism.

REST Adapter with Multiple Operations in SAP PI

Editor 2 Comments

This blog will show how to use REST Adapter with Multiple operations in SAP PI. Here we will expose the API with multiple operations for which REST sender will be used.

Flow:

REST Adapter with Multiple Operation Flow

As shown in flow diagram PI will expose the REST API with 2 operation addition & subtraction.

I will recommend going through the Sync/Async scenario using the REST adapter before starting into multiple operation configurations using the REST adapter. That will provide a good REST adapter background.

Sync Scenario using REST adapter in SAP PI – Part II

Editor Leave a comment

This blog is a continuation of the sync scenario using the REST adapter in SAP PI. Here we will cover the configuration steps for JSON format.

In case you want to read about XML format here is a link to 1st part of this blog Sync Scenario using REST adapter in SAP PI – Part I

Scenario :

REST adapter can be used for consuming a REST service or exposing a REST service in PI. This blog will cover only exposing of REST service for which Sender REST Adapter will be used.

Flow:

REST<–> SAP PI<–>SOAP ( calculator service)

It will be a synchronous scenario where the request will send to PI and response will be received based on the operation (Add, Sub, Divide or multiple).

To keep it simple we will only work with add operation, for multiple operation check this guide REST Adapter with Multiple Operations in SAP PI

In case you are looking for Async example here is a step by step guide REST Adapter scenario in SAP PI – JSON/XML

Editor Leave a comment

This blog will cover how to do Java mapping in SAP PI.  Java Mapping is always a concern for any PI consultant, so today I will try to explain the techniques which will make it interesting and easier.

In PI mapping can be done in the following ways

  1. Graphical Mapping – The most popular and easier way.
