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.

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.
