PI/XI: PI 7.3 new functionalities for different adapters (JMS, JDBC, HTTP) - teaser

[MichalKrawczyk]

SAP Process Integration 7.3 will not only provide new options for single stack installations and more flexible ICO object, it will also give us a few enhancement to the already existing adapters. In this article I'd like to show you a few of those:


1. Adapter timeout

It is finally possible to specify the timeout for every java based adapter that uses CallSapAdapter module bean. CallSapAdapter module has now a new parameter - syncTimeout which allows to specify in milliseconds the timeout after which the adapter will throw a MessageExpiredException.



2. Maximum message size and row size fetched with JDBC adapter

You can now specify two additional parameters maxMsgSize and maxRowSize (as per OSS note - 1253826) which will limit the message which JDBC adapter will be processing. 



3. HTTP - GET

Finally we not only have an HTTP adapter on the java stack but we can also use a GET method without any workarounds.



4. Topic support (publish/subscribe scenarios) for JMS adapters.

JMS adapter now supports working with topics.



These are not all improvements for PI 7.3 adapters but I'm sure the most noticeable and I bet many of you have been waiting for a few of those for a long time. Now we still need to wait for PI 7.3 but at least we know that those functionalities exist.
