Configuring Message Listeners

Configuring Message Listeners for IDOC/RFC Communication


SAP MII provides a set of pre-shipped IDOC and RFC listeners. These can be configured to receive IDOCs and RFCs
from an SAP ERP system. To enable the ERP system to issue RFCs or IDOCs for the SAP MII RFC Listener or IDOC
Listener, RFC Destinations must be defined on the ERP system. The configurations on SAP MII is as follows:

Procedure

Configuring Message Listener for HTTP Messages


SAP MII provides a pre-shipped message listener XMIIMESSAGELISTENER for HTTP messages. The message name
and Id fields can be configured either using the pre-shipped listener or by passing as parameters on this URL.
Following are the steps to configure these fields using the pre-shipped listener:
1.

On the SAP MII administration menu, choose

2.

Select XMIIMESSAGELISTENER in the Message Listeners and choose Edit.

Illuminator?
service=WSMessageListener&mode=WSMessageListenerServer&Name=<MessageName>MessageID=<Me
ssageID>
Specifying the MessageID parameter provides Exactly Once support for HTTP messages. For Exactly Once In Order
support, the URL needs to be configured with the additional parameters SequenceName and MessageNumber. The
URL for EOIO is as follows: http://host:port//XMII/Illuminator?
service=WSMessageListener&mode=WSMessageListenerServer&Name=<MessageName>MessageID=<Me
ssageID>&SequenceName=<SequenceName>&MessageNumber=<MessageNumber>.

Table 5

Parameter

Description

DatePrefix

Prefix to the start date and end date parameters in query


templates used to format the date to match the database
configuration.
If you are connecting to a Microsoft SQL server database,
the typical prefix is a single quote. If you are connecting to
an Oracle database, an example of a prefix is GetDate('.

DateSuffix

Suffix to the start date and end date parameters in query


templates used to format the date to match the database
configuration.
If you are connecting to a Microsoft SQL server database,
the typical suffix is a single quote. If you are connecting to
an Oracle database, an example of a suffix is ','MM/DD/

YYYY HH24:MI:SS').
InitCommand

Command used by the database connector that is run when


a connection pool is created.
You can use it to set the database locale in Oracle.

InternalDateFormat

Date format used to construct WHERE clause conditions.


Controls the construction of the WHERE clause for date
comparisons for specific databases and servers.

JDBCDriver

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver classpath used


to connect to the server.
See JDBC Drivers. [external document]

Password

Password to connect to the database.


The password field shows six asterisks even if your
password has more or less characters or is blank.
Passwords are not passed between browser clients and the
database. The Servers.xml file is not accessible through
the Web server.

PoolMax

Maximum number of connections the pool allocates.


If a request is received and all connections are in use and
allocated, the query waits for an available connection or the
specified timeout period.

PoolSize

Number of connections to be established with the database


when the connection pool is initialized.

ServerURL

Driver-specific string that defines how to access the


database.
For example, with the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 JDBC
driver, the ServerURL is: jdbc:inetdae://

hammer9:1433?
database=MyDatabase&sql7=true. The SQL

Parameter

Description
server on machine hammer9 is connected to the

MyDatabase database using TCP/IP port 1433.


For additional URL parameters, see the documentation from
the vendor of the JDBC driver you are using.

TimeOut

Length of time (in minutes) that elapses before an unused


connection expires and its resources are released back to
the server. The connection pool maintains a minimum
number of connections and, if necessary, creates a new
connection.

UseCount

Number of times a connection can be used before it is


terminated and its resources are released back to the
server.
This parameter is only required for ODBC data sources that
have resource leaks when they execute many statements.

User Name

Database-specific user ID.

ValidationQuery

Query used to determine if a database connection is valid.


For example, when using Microsoft SQL Server, you can use

SELECT GETDATE() or SELECT * FROM Orders


WHERE OrderId=-1.
The query does not have to return rows, but it must succeed.

WaitTime

Amount of time SAP MII waits for a connection before it fails.
