Use of AS2 Adapter for Non EDI Scenarios

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am using AS2 adpater as provided by SAP B2B toolkit 1.0.

I am building a sender AS2 to WebService (Async) for a non EDI scenario.

My query Is that whether it is possible to use Sender AS2 adapter for a Non EDI scenario such as to receive RNIF PIP from a customer?

If yes then do we have any converter module to convert the incoming messages into XML.

Currently without any module, I face the following error.

Catching exception calling messaging system, cause: Cannot parse message payload to determine operation for receiver determinationjava.io.FileNotFoundException: <PIP file path> (No such file or directory)

Hi Kanes,

Which version of SAP PI or PO do you have? E.g, within a 7.31, the RNIF adapter is already available. And I guess in a previous release too.

So, there is no need to have the B2B add-on installed to have the RNIF adapter available.

Kind regards,

Dimitri

Thanks Dimitri,

Currently I am on 7.31. Yes I am aware of the RNIF adapter but due to some license constraints, Client has suggested  us to use AS2 adapters.

I am able to send the message successfully in RNIF format to the customer over AS2 Receiver channel (Though MDN fails) but for the messages received from the customer in RNIF format are not able to go past the sender AS2 channel.

Hi Kanes,

When I see the error in your initial post, seems like the configuration is not properly set.

Check if the path exists on the sender side. Also, make sure a file is present to be picked up.

Kind regards,

Thanks Dimitri,

Message is picked up by the sender channel alright. It is during parsing when the message errors out. My question is "Can AS2 adapter convert the non EDI ( here RNIF format) message into native XML without any converter module? "

Hi Kanes,

I guess not, but try to get a statement from SAP on that one. In that case, you are sure and can decide what to do to meet your customer's requirements.

Kind regards,

Hi All,

The actual problem as suggested by SAP was that AS2 adapter provided by SAP NW B2B toolkit only supports

A. Service Interface of type Stateless (XI 30 compatible)

B. Iflow of type non operation specific.

After making these changes, the scenario worked.

Hence I am closing this thread. Thanks everyone for the help.

Cheers
