In Post installation part – 1, we completed initial 6 steps, for rest steps I will explain in this 2ed part (Exchange infrastructure (XI) Post installation part – 2).



Creating RFC Destinations in the ABAP Environment

We need to create RFC destination in ABAP for INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI.

Log to the SAP XI server and run SM59 transaction

Click on create button:



Give destination as INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI

And choose connection type as H (HTTP connection).

Give the description,

Host name of J2EE engine,

Service no as 53100(5<Java_instance_number>00, 53100, if your Java instance is 31),

And path prefix as /dir/CacheRefresh.



Go to logon and security page and give the XIISUSER user id and password.



In special option tab fill timeout as 900,

HTTP Compression: inactive and Compressed Response: No

Set HTTP Cookies: Accept Cookies: Yes (All).

After this save the connection setting and test your connection. If the test goes with success the response message will come with 500 codes.

Creating RFC Destinations in the ABAP and Java Environment

We need to create some RFC destination in ABAP and as well as in the visual admin for Java part.

These RFC destinations are: • AI_RUNTIME_JCOSERVER • AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER • LCRSAPRFC • SAPSLDAPI

For this first log to ABAP stack and go to transaction SM59.



Fill the Program ID field, enter: AI_RUNTIME_<SID> where <SID> is the SAP system ID of your Integration Server host.

Fill the Gateway host and Gateway service of your Integration Server host.

In the Special Options tab select the flag Unicode in the box Character Width in Target System. Then save the setting.

Repeated Steps for others connections as :

T-code =sm59

Choose Create.

RFC destination: 1.AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER

2. LCRSAPRFC

3. SAP SLDAPI

Connection type: T

Destination Values AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER Program ID: AI_DIRECTORY_<SID>,

where <SID> is the SAP system ID of your SAP XI host



LCRSAPRFC Program ID: LCRSAPRFC_<SID>, where <SID> is the SAP system ID of your SAP XI host.

SAPSLDAPI Program ID: SAPSLDAPI_<SID>, where <SID> is the SAP system ID of your SAP XI host

LCRSAPRFC :-

SAPSLDAPI:-



AI_DIRECTORY_JCOSERVER

SAP J2EE Configuration for the Destinations:-

Once the all connections have done in SM59 of the ABAP part we need to create same connection in visual admin for JAVA part.

Log to the Visual admin.



Go to

Cluster → Server → Services → JCo RFC Provider

In the program ID set the exactly same name which we have given in the ABAP part SM59.

Give the same host name and service which we given in the ABAP part.

Give number of process you want it can be any from 1 to 20.

Give the user SAPJSF user id and password.

Select the Unicode and set the setting.



Maintain connection setting in similar manner for the others as well.

Once you have done the entire connection log to the ABAP stack again test the connection form the SM59.



Activating the Services



Now this is time to activate all the service of XI server.

For it please go to SICF transaction.

Open the XI services

Update the cache details



Give one request

Default_ host-> SAP->bc->spi_gate

Below screens shows in detail.



Go to the se38 and execute program RSXMB_ACTIVATE_ICF_SERVICES ,this program will activate all the serives.



All should be green.

And the service now should be in activate status.



Creating HTTP Destination PMISTORE in the Java Environment

For creating connection for pmistore log to the visual admin.

Go to

Cluster → Server → Services → Destinations



Create one connection under the HTTP node give the name as destination pmistore.

The URL will be

http://<xi_host>:<ABAP_Port>/sap/bc/spi_gate

The ABAP_Port will be 80<XX>.Where XX will the port number of ABAP, (Check by running transaction SMICM and choosing Goto → Services.)

Select BASIC as Authentication.

Give the Username: XIRWBUSER and password.

Save this and test this. It will return success message.

Performing Basic Configuration Steps

Go to the ABAP stack.

Now we need to configure the role of the integration serer. For it run SXMB_ADM transaction.



Run the integration engine configuration.

Choose edit->change global configuration data.



Select the integration server and save it.



Registering Queues Used by the Integration Server

Run manage queues on SXMB_ADM transaction.

Execute it.

Make selection of the register queues under action and all queues should be selected then execute it.



Checking the Installation – Part 1

Now its time to check installation and configuration by some basic XI transaction.

For it log to the ABAP stack.

Run SLDCHECK transaction

And run SLDCHECK transaction, it should goes without any error.



After this call transaction SXMB_IFR :



SAP Exchange Infrastructure page will be appearing.

Or we can also start the page by entering the following URL in a Web browser:

http://<XI_host>:<Java_Port>/rep/start/index.jsp

Installing the Integration Builder Client



Next we need to Install Java(TM) Web Start for the Integration Builder Client.

Install it, as described under the link Client Installation Instructions on the SAP Exchange Infrastructure page

Checking the Installation - Part 2

Call the SAP Exchange Infrastructure page and check the above link.

Link Screen must appear Repository (Design) Log on Data: XISUPER

Integration Builder: Design Exit the tool.

Directory (Configuration) Log on Data: XISUPER

Integration Builder: Configuration Exit the tool.

Administration Log on Data: XISUPER

Java WebStart(TM) – Initialization Status Exit the tool.

First run the repository design link from the SAP Exchange Infrastructure index page



Check the integration directory:



Check the admin part:



Importing the XI Content for Software Component Version SAP WebAS 6.40 SR1

For it



Copy XI7_0_SAP_BASIS_6.40_09_00.tpz from <Components DVD>/XI /XI_CONTENT to directory /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/global/xi/repository_server/import/.

After this call the SXMB_IFR transaction again.



Run the integration repository.

In integration repository

Choose → Tools → Import Design Objects

Select the component



Import it.



Performing Initial Adapter Engine Cache Refresh

After this please perform the initial cache refresh of the Adapter Engine by executing the following URL:

http://<host>:<Java-Port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full



Cache refresh successfully in blue format.



Testing the Cache Refresh (INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI)

For this activity you need to logon to Integration directory and need to make any service or any test scenario and then you need to Run SXI_CACHE transaction in ABAP stack.

Check the runtime cache and notification it should be error free.
