Messaging to Job Boards (i.e. Monster) from eRecruiting 6.0 without XI

[Former Member]

I'm attempting to publish a job posting to Monster from eRecruiting 6.0 (SAP Netweaver 2004s) without going through the XI interface. I have formatted the posting into the XML schema that Monster requires.

I'm getting an good Return Code on the Send, but when I check the Response, I'm getting a communications failure. The Return Code at this point is 400 - ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED.

The Method that I'm using to Receive the response is as follows:

CALL MEHTOD HTTP_CLIENT->RECEIVE

EXCEPTIONS

HTTP_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 1

HTTP_INVALID_STATE = 2

HTTP_PROCESSING_FAILED = 3

OTHERS = 4.

After checking the http_status, with the http_client->response->get_status( importing code = http_status ) method, I'm getting a "404 - Partner not reached error".

Anyone know how to resolve this ?

This has been resolved via a certificate that was missing/not applied on the server.

Hi Don,

from your post above, you have mentioned that "I have formatted the posting into the XML schema that Monster requires."

Could you please explain me more details about this? like approach? any reusable XSLT transformation, Data Structures???

Hello Naddy,

It's been a long time since we have published our Postings on Monster. One of the requirements (at that time ~2008/2009/2010...) was to have an account with Monster and to purchase, what they called "Inventory". When you Posted to monster, your "Inventory" was reduced by 1, and when you ran out, you had to purchase more "Inventory"...

Here are a few links for getting started. These links were available and working back around 2008/2009 and I used them to set up our posting to Monster from our SAP E-Recruiting System (Recruiter BSP system). We set up a new Channel to post our publications. See table T77RCF_POSTCHN. (Search for Job Posting Channels in the IMG).

This should get you started.
