Hello Integrators,

a few weeks ago I presented you the CPI-Helper. A Chrome Extension that upgrades your Integration Flow Designer with some coole features:

  • A button to activate trace

  • A sidebar with processed messages and the errors of them

  • A pop-up about deployment state and endpoints

  • Some buttons to jump directly to trace and logs


I got plenty of messages of people who liked the plug-in on LinkedIn. Special thanks here to Daniel Graversen to make a small video to introduce the CPI-Helper (version 0.3 at this time).

So thank you very much. I was really surprised and did not expect this.

The fact that people actually use my plug-in motivated me to break my javascript programming boundaries. I spend the last weekens to follow this idea and I am really proud to present you version 1.0 of the ConVista CPI-Helper.

I had the idea to get the traces directly in the Integration Flow Designer. Inline like the Trace-Viewer but during development. And voilá, here it is in version 1.0:

If you enabled traces you can activate inline traces of an element by pressing the time button next to the status icon. This shows you the route of the processed message in your integration flow designer.



If you also want to see headers, properties and the payload, click on a marked item and a pop-up appears:



and what I really like is that you can beautify the payload:



Attention: Traces will be deleted by SAP after round about 1 hour. So you can see the run steps but not the message itself on the next day.

Version 1.0 is online and ready in the Chrome Store. Try it yourself:

 

 

 

I recommend you to install the Chrome Extension directly from Chrome Store to get the newest updates.
Attention: If you installed the plugin before 21. March 2020 from Chrome Store, please uninstall and install from the link above. I accidentaly unpublished the old version. So if you want to get 1.0, you have to change to the new Chrome Link.

You can also install from sources of you want.

For more details, see my github page and my first blog post about the CPI-Helper. Meanwhile Version 1.1 is out. You can view and delete variables easily now
