SXMB_ADM Subparameter as prefix

[rvanhoof]

Hi,

I am currently looking for a way to send XI messages from S4 to a number of CPI endpoints (configured as XI sender adapters in CPI) using the Integration Engine. I have set up 1 general RFC destination (type G) to CPI in SM59 (<CPI hostname>/cxf/MCS):

I assumed that it would be possible to dynamically determine the specific iFlow endpoint at runtime by configuring a subparameter (for example, "MANAGE_MCS_ADDURL") in SXMB_ADM and checking the "Prefix" checkbox so that it would append the subparameter name to the connection URL referenced in SM59 (the complete endpoint would then be <CPI hostname>/cxf/MCS/MANAGE_MCS_ADDURL).

In other words, I am looking for a way to create a dynamic interface-specific integration server URL. Unfortunately, when sending a testrequest, the subparameter isn't taken into account and the integration server tries to send it to the general /cxf/MCS endpoint. Looking at the trace of a similar request using MANAGE_MCS_FEEDBACKEQ, it appears the subparameter is being detected properly, but as only the /cxf/MCS/MANAGE_MCS_FEEDBACKEQ endpoint is available in CPI and the request is being sent to the destination endpoint (cxf/MCS), a 404 is sent back as response.

Is it possible to set up such a configuration? If not, what is the actual use of configuring a subparameter as prefix? I'd like to avoid defining a separate RFC destination per iFlow in SM59 or creating a main flow in CPI wherein a router sends the messages to their specific iFlows using Process Direct adapters.

You can do this by maintaining separate Sender IDs. In SXMB_ADM you can see the option to create separate unique sender ids based on sender interface name and namspace. You can then rout them to different IS_URLs which will point to different RFC destinations.

Instead, you could have one IS_URL, and one RFC destination on S4 and then receive all of them in a routing CPI iFlow, where you could use a value mapping lookup table to direct them to various child iflows using process direct.

I would prefer CPI option.
