A Beginner's demo for pushing data from SAP CPI to SOLACE

[rohini_potham3]

SAP CPI with SOLACE PUB SUB DEMO:

Scenario – Trying to send data from CPI to SOLACE

SOLACE – Create a trial account.

Navigate to below:

Cluster Manager -> Create a service

When you open the Service created and move to Try-me option, you can see credentials used to send/receive data from SOLACE (client username & client password)

SOLACE -> Service -> Broker Manager -> Queue 

Create a queue name SOurce and topic ROHINI under the queue.

Under Queue, you can create a topic as well.

First you can check SOLACE using the Event Broker -> Try-me

Give same connection details on subscriber and same topic/queue details to consume message from publish on left side.

You can see in below snapshot that the message is received well

The above steps to confirm if credentials & host details are working fine.

Now let’s connect the external system to send data to SOLACE.

Steps

1. Create user name, client & ACL profile

Broker Manager -> ACL Profile

Check all things that needs to be created

I have used default profile in this case instead of creating a new one

Enter the entries for adding topics to be published or subscribed for that ACL profile

We are now done with connections on the SOLACE.

Now comes the CPI part:

1. Download the SOLACE PUB SUB SDA file from SOLACE
2. Package -> Edit -> Add new Integration adapter & browse the downloaded SDA file.
3. Deploy this artifact & now we can see SOLACE PUB SUB adapter to use on IFLOW
4. Create a dummy sender using TIMER & add content modifier to have some message sent to SOLACE

SOLACE connection details:

Host name is copied from Status tab of service name

User credentials for demo are taken from Try-me tab of service

Host name prefixed by tcps:

Testing:

Deploy the iflow and see that its working

Now check the SOLACE queue to see entry

I have tried to consume messages after it is queued there in SOLACE, using Try-me consumer

Now, the queue size is 0

Please note: The same configuration will also work with Advanced Event Mesh adapter in CPI

Thanks,

Thank you for the detailed steps. For scenarios involving Pub/Sub messaging and data exchange between CPI and SOLACE, integrating through CPI with the SOLACE Pub/Sub adapter is indeed the best approach. This setup ensures efficient message handling and reliable communication, leveraging CPI's robust integration capabilities.

Hi Rohini. Thank you for the blog. I have a question. Where did you download the SDA file? The download link doesn't work for me.

Hi Rohini, thanks for the blog! I have a quick question: where did you download the SDA file? The download link isn’t working on my end, and after clicking on download, I’m getting the following error.

Hi Rohini,

Thanks for the URL. I checked it but it's not working. Is there any other way to download?

@Sakshi_T - I have just used the same URL to download. Seems like its down now.

Meanwhile, you can work with Advanced event mesh adapter on trial system. 
It has exactly same options to be configured as that of SOLACE adapter.

AEM adapter could also be used to connect with SOLACE, but its is not the best approach. Since its just hands-on check, you could give it a try.

Thanks,
