Sending IDocs

Follow the instructions below to configure the ESB Profile as an IDoc client using the SAP adapter.

  1. Uncomment the following line in <EI_HOME>/conf/axis2/axis2.xml  file to enable the IDoc transport sender on axis2 core.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <transportSender name=”idoc” class="org.wso2.carbon.transports.sap.SAPTransportSender"/>
  2. Create IDocSender proxy service with the following configuration:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <proxy xmlns=http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse 
           name="IDocSender"
    	   transports="http" 
           startOnLoad="true" 
           trace="enable" 
           statistics="enable">
        <target>
          <inSequence>
             <log level="full"/>
             <send>
             <endpoint name="sapidocendpoint">
                 <address uri="idoc:/SAPSYS"/>
             </endpoint>
             </send>
          </inSequence>
          <outSequence/>
       </target>
       <parameter name="serviceType">proxy</parameter>
       <description/>
    </proxy>
    Info
    • The SAP endpoint client properties file SAPSYS.dest should be in <EI_HOME>/conf/sap folder.
    • Additional axis2 level sender parameters that can be defined in the axis2 core are listed in SAP Transport Sender Parameters.

    You can now send IDocs using the configured WSO2 SAP adapter.

Receiving IDocs

Follow the instructions below to configure the ESB Profile as an IDoc server using the SAP adapter.

  1. Uncomment the following line in <EI_HOME>/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file to enable IDoc transport receiver in axis2 core.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <transportReceiver name=”idoc” class="org.wso2.carbon.transports.sap.SAPTransportListener"/>
  2. Ensure the server configuration file SAPSYS.server is available in <EI_HOME>/conf/sap folder.
  3. Start the ESB Profile of WSO2 EI using the -Djava.library.path switch to specify the location of your SAP jco library. 
    For example, you can execute the following command to start the ESB Profile:

    Code Block
    ./integrator.sh -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/lib/i386/server/


  4. Create the IDocReceiver proxy service with the following configuration:

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <proxy xmlns=http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse 
           name="IDocReceiver"
           transports="idoc" 
           statistics="enable" 
           trace="enable" 
           startOnLoad="true">
       <target>
         <inSequence>
             <log level="full"/>
             <drop/>
        </inSequence>

PropertyDescription
transport.sap.xmlMapper The key of custom IDOC XML mapper to use. This key should be defined in the transport.sap. customXMLMappers parameter. If no key is specified the default IDoc XML mapper will be used. 
transport.sap. xmlParserOptions

The options for the default IDoc XML parser to be used in the default IDoc XML mapper. Multiple options can be combined using the bitwise OR "|" operator. The possible parser options are as follows:

PARSE_ACCEPT_ONLY_XMLVERSION_10 3328
PARSE_ACCEPT_ONLY_XMLVERSION_11 2816
PARSE_ACCEPT_ONLY_XMLVERSIONS_10_TO_11 2304

Following are descriptions of the proxy level listener parameters that can be defined in a proxy configuration when using the ESB Profile of WSO2 EI as a SAP server:

ParameterDescription
transport.sap.serverName The name of the server containing the JCO server configuration.
transport.sap. enableErrorListener Set this to enable the default error listener. If this is used together with the transport.sap. customErrorListener parameter, the custom error listener will be used.
transport.sap. enableTIDHandler Set this to enable the transaction handler to handle transactions that are received from a SAP system. Transactional applications must provide a custom implementation using the transport.sap. customTIDHandler parameter.
transport.sap. customTIDHandler The fully qualified class name for the custom TID handler implementing JCoServerTIDHandler.
transport.sap.connections The number of registered connections managed by the server instance. The default value is 1 and the maximum value is 100.
