This blog aims in explaining how to assign ASMAs (adapter specific message attributes) for each child message of a BULK message using custom Dynamic Configuration (DC) header fields which can be set using a mapping program during design time, and which will be effective at runtime in IE/AE. To achieve this we require a custom generic adapter module, one ABAP FM and one ABAP table. We can also achieve this, by reading the required child payload fields information and then assigning them to ASMAs using a custom adapter module. However, I am focusing on reading custom DC headers method in adapter module as it has more advantages.

Steps:-


1.    Set the custom DC headers with payload fields, Bulk Message ID and counter during design using multi-mapping. We can pass these values to the custom adapter module using module configuration in the communication channel.
2.    Read these custom headers sequentially with the help of a custom adapter module & ABAP FM.

  • Custom adapter module reads the child message Sequential Number generated by AFW (need not be always 1 for the first child message, hence we need a logic which generates a sequence number) and then it generates its own sequence number starting from 1 using a custom ABAP FM and table.
  • The FM logic uses the read Bulk message ID, AFW sequential number and ACTION (inbound interface name) to generate a unique sequential number which can be used to read the custom DC header fields and assign to ASMAs.
  • The FM uses an ABAP table to persist (latest record) and then it returns the new sequential number which will be used by the custom adapter module.

Flow Chart:-

Advantages:- 

  1. Module is generic in nature and can be used for any J2EE based technical adapter.
  2. Improves the performance since we are reading the necessary ASMA values for the adapter from the SOAP DC header instead of payload (in case of large size child messages, which can take definite amount of memory while loading the payload in the adapter module with DOM/SAX parser combination)
  3. By passing value ‘X’ for DEL module parameter in the module configuration, we can delete the record from the ABAP table for the last child message of each interface.

Sample Dynamic Configuration Code for mappings (UDF)

DynamicConfigurationKey keyA[] = new DynamicConfigurationKey[a.length];
result.addValue("1");
String allKeyValues = "";
for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
{
          try
          {
                    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
                    keyA[i] = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("urn:CustomDCHdr", "a" + Integer.toString(i+1) );
                    conf.put(keyA[i], a[i]);
                    keyA[i] = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("urn:CustomDCHdr", "b" + Integer.toString(i+1) );
                    conf.put(keyA[i], "/SCD/ich/pi/MULTIMAPPING");
                    if(i == a.length-1)
                    {
                              DynamicConfigurationKey keyCount = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("urn:CustomDCHdr", "Int1Count" );
                              conf.put(keyCount, Integer.toString(a.length) );
                              String messageID = (String) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.MESSAGE_ID);
                              DynamicConfigurationKey orgBulkMsgID = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("urn:CustomDCHdr", "BulkMsgID" );
                              conf.put(orgBulkMsgID, messageID);
                    }
          }
          catch (Exception e)
          {
                    e.printStackTrace( );
          }
}

Module Configuration in Communication Channel

Note: enable ASMA in the receiver file channel

7:24 PM 3/30/2011 Now updated the module code to get PI server information from module configuration. Now you to need provide encryppted (BASE64) password. Use this link base64 encoding  (http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/Base64Encode/Default.aspx) to provide base64 encrypted password as below along with other PI server information.  e.g., 100;pisuper;pwbase64xxxxxxx;EN;piserver.domain.com;00

I created an Idea to SAP to support this feature by default instead of custom development.

Please have a look at my idea and if you like please VOTE: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/10218 (SAP PI should support dynamic configuration for 1:n multi-mapping scenarios)
