Sender / Receiver Information in Message Processing Monitor

[stephan_gutknecht]

Hello,

I would like to know the sender and receiver information for an integration scenario which was run using CPI. From what I can see in the Integration Flows, there are cases where the sender and receiver information is maintained in Externalized Parameters but it looks like custom attributes. In the Message Processing, I am not able to see any sender or receiver information.

Are there standard attributes available for sender and receiver? How can I retrieve the sender and receiver system for a processed message?

Thanks,

Stephan

Hi Stephan

Unlike SAP PI, Cloud Integration doesn't have a central repository of sender and receiver systems. Within each integration flow, you have senders and receivers, of course, but they are only defined within that particular integration flow. In other words, you don't have a single, well defined receiver system representing, say, a specific SAP system across all integration flows in your tenant.

Edit: As engswee.yeoh points out below, you can indeed write sender and receiver information to the message processing log, but only if the integration flow is designed to do so. Also, they are still just strings without structure. If it becomes possible to search the log for senders and receivers (and that certainly seems reasonable), naming would have to be applied consistently across all integration flows, if you want to search for all messages going to a specific system.

Regards,

Morten

Hi Stephan

To add on to Morten's answer, there are SAP reserved headers that can be set from within the IFlow which allow those values to be viewed in the Message Processing Logs. This needs to be explicitly done by the integration developer of the particular IFlow by setting the value using a Content Modifier or Script step.

The reserved headers' names are SAP_Sender & SAP_Receiver. You can read up more on how they behave via the link below:-

Note that while you can view these values in the log, there is currently no search functionality to filter messages based on them (yet).

Hi all,

In the meantime, searching for sender and receiver information has arrived in Cloud Integration. Also, it seems to me that the two properties even get populated automatically by taking the sender or receiver name combined with the adapter type!

However, due to some reason, this seems to only work for certain adapters. I see it for SOAP, XI and IDOC, but not for HTTP(S), for example. Does anybody know if this is a bug or a feature, or my mistake? 🙂 Haven't found much in the Help.
