XML to JSON conversion in REST adapter SAP PI

Editor Leave a comment

This blog will explain how to handle XML to JSON conversion in REST adapter. Here we will cover enhanced REST adapter settings to handle array – repeated segments.

How REST Adapter converts

REST adapter uses 3rd party Jettison library for JSON processing tasks. It is used for conversion of XML to JSON & vice-versa and sometime it does not correlate or take into consideration payload field properties as defined in a corresponding message type, but has its own optimization and type derivation mechanisms that are based on nature of the value of a processed XML document’s element rather than XSD schema of a processed message.

As a result, sometime conversion are not correct especially in case of XML element as an array.

Enable sync scenario response payload in SAP PI 7.4 (Java Only)

Editor Leave a comment

This article will provide steps on how to enable sync scenario response payload in SAP PI. By default, synchronous scenario logging and staging is disabled to avoid consumption of resources.

But in case of errors in response mapping and for debugging we might need to understand data coming in response messages.

Two options are available to enable sync scenario response payload

  1. Global setting: this will enable staging of payload for all interfaces
  2. Local setting: this has more advantages as this can be handled from ICO and is very specific to the interface.

Synchronous timeout exceeded error in sap pi

Editor Leave a comment

A lot of time working on the synchronous scenario we see timeout exceeded error in sap pi.

Usually, to overcome this error we need to set the Java parameter in NWA but after SAP PI 7.31 we have the option of setting timeout parameter on the channel itself. This remains specific to that interface which has more advantages of not touching timeout parameter in global settings which affects all interfaces. It is very simple now to set the parameter in adapter module if we get synchronous timeout exceeded error in sap pi.

Alert configuration in sap pi 7.4/7.5 single stack

Editor 26 Comments

This blog will walk you through the process of configuring alerts in SAP PI single stack. The new alerting system differs from the old way of configuring it by using ALRTCATDEF tcodes. This seems simpler and quick to me, and the fact that we can now set alerts based on interfaces gives us more flexibility and usability, so let’s get started on the alert configuration in sap pi single stack.

Overview of the Alert Process in SAP PI:

Discover the power of proper alert configuration in SAP PI single stack. Whenever a message error occurs in PI, an error status is recorded. The Alert Engine then evaluates the error information or alert events from the PI runtime and checks for matching Alert Rules and configurations to determine if an alert should be generated. Proper configuration of alerts can greatly influence the generation of alerts. Join me as I guide you through the process of configuring alerts in SAP PI single stack.
