Advanced Tab

Use the Advanced tab to specify the termination subject or topic name, the destinations of the Publication Service and the Subscription Service services to receive IDocs, and how an adapter configuration communicates with the TIDManager configuration.

General Information

In the General Information panel, you can specify the termination subject (if Rendezvous is the transport) or topic (if JMS is the transport) name that the adapter configuration listens to in the Termination Subject or Topic field.

Once the adapter configuration receives the message labeled with the termination subject or topic name, the adapter stops.

All Publication Services

In the All Publication Services panel, you can specify the destinations where the IDocs are sent in the Vaild Destination field.

Typically, these destinations are logical SAP system names, but they can be a bank identifier, a customer identifier, or any partner type currently configured.

In a control record of an IDoc, if the RCVPRN field, which specifies the receiving partner for the IDoc, has a value is not configured as a valid destination, the IDoc cannot be published to the TIBCO environment. Then the IDoc is logged into an ASCII text file in a configured directory.

Note:
  • Ensure you have created Publication Service services before specify any valid destinations.
  • Separate the destinations with commas.
  • After you have specified and saved the valid destinations, they are automatically converted to uppercase to ensure consistency with the syntax of logical systems in the SAP system.

Outbound TID Management

In the Outbound TID Management panel, you can select the outbound TIDManagement mode for the Publication and the Request-Response Invocation Service (one-way only) services, and specify the associated information about how to connect to the TIDManager server, and so on.

The following is the Outbound TID Management panel:

Field Description
Outbound TID Management Select outbound TIDManagement mode from the following options:
  • Local

    Select local TID Management mode when there is only one outbound adapter configuration receiving messages.

  • Remote

    Select remote TID Management mode when there are more than one outbound adapter configurations receiving messages.

The default mode is Local.

The following field is only available when you select Local from the Outbound TID Management list:
TID File Name Specify the TID file name.

A TID file is used by the TIDManager server to maintain state on the transaction IDocs sent from the SAP system.

The default name is tidFile.tid.

The following fields are only available when you select Remote from the Outbound TID Management list:
Enable Stop Retry Timeout Select this check box to suspend the connection to the TIDManager server when a timeout exception occurs.

By default, this check box is cleared.

TID Manager Client Retry Count Specify the number of retries from the adapter configuration to the TIDManager server.

The default value is 3.

TID Manager Client Retry Interval Specify the time interval in milliseconds between any two ping attempts to the TIDManager server.

The default value is 30000.

TID Manager Client Click this link to configure the client endpoint used to communicate with the TIDManager server in the Transports tab.

If you want to change the client endpoint, you can click to select a client endpoint in the Select a Resource window.

You can click to clear this field.

Ensure that the TIDManager client in all the adapter configurations matches the TIDManager server being used. Also ensure that the subject name of the TIDManager client is configured appropriately and that the TIDManager client and server are on the same transport.

The default client is the TID_JMS_RPC_CLIENT or the TID_RPC_CLIENT client belonging to the TIDManager session that is added by default when you create the adapter configuration.

Note: When creating a client session manually in the TIDManager configuration, ensure that the value that you enter in the Invocation Timeout (ms) field is greater than zero. Otherwise, messages cannot be deleted from the destination.

All Subscription Services

In the All Subscription Services panel, you can specify the destinations where the IDocs are sent in the Vaild Destination field.

Typically, these destinations are logical SAP system names, but they can be a bank identifier, a customer identifier, or any partner type currently configured.

In a control record of an IDoc, if the RCVPRN field, which specifies the receiving partner for the IDoc, has a value that is not configured as a valid destination, the IDoc cannot be published to the SAP system. Then the IDoc is logged into an ASCII text file in a configured directory.

Note:
  • Ensure you have created Subscription Service services before specify any valid destinations.
  • Separate the destinations with commas.
  • After you have specified and saved the valid destinations, they are automatically converted to uppercase to ensure consistency with the syntax of logical systems in the SAP system.

Inbound TID Management

In the Inbound TID Management panel, you can select inbound TIDManagement mode for the Subscription Service and the Request-Response Service (one-way only) services, specify the associated information about how to connect to the TIDManager configuration, and so on.

The following is the Inbound TID Management panel:

Field Description
Inbound TID Management Select inbound TIDManagement mode from the following options:
  • None

    Select None when inbound TIDManagerment is not required.

  • Local

    Select local TID Management mode when there is only one inbound adapter configuration receiving messages.

  • Remote

    Select remote TID Management mode when there are more than one inbound adapter configurations receiving messages.

The default mode is None.

The following field is only available when you select Local from the Inbound TID Management list:
TID File Name Specify the TID file name.

A TID file is used by the TIDManager configuration to maintain state on the transaction IDs sent from the SAP system.

The default name is tidFileInbound.tid.

The following fields are only available when you select Remote from the Inbound TID Management list:
TID Manager Client Retry Count Specify the number of retries from the adapter configuration to the TIDManager server.

The default value is 3.

TID Manager Client Retry Interval Specify the time interval in milliseconds between any two ping attempts to the TIDManager server.

The default value is 30000.

TID Manager Client Click this link to configure the client endpoint used to communicate with the TIDManager configuration in the Transports tab.

If you want to change the client endpoint, you can click to select a client endpoint in the Select a Resource window.

You can click to clear this field.

Ensure that the TIDManager client in all the adapter configurations matches the TIDManager server being used. Also ensure that the subject name of the TIDManager client is configured appropriately and that the client and the TIDManager server are on the same transport.

The default client is the INBOUND_JMS_TID_RPC_CLIENT or the INBOUND_TID_RPC_CLIENT client belonging to the TIDManager session that is added by default when you create the adapter configuration.

Discovery Agent

In the Discovery Agent panel, you can select the Enabled check box to enable the plug-in for the Discovery Agent in the adapter configuration.

For how to configure Discovery Agent TRA properties, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP Properties.

The following fields are available to configure the Discovery Agent when you enable the plug-in for the Discovery Agent:
Field Description
Polling Client Reference Click to select a client endpoint that has been created for this transport in the Select a Resource window.

You can click to clear this field.

Polling Interval Specify the time interval in milliseconds for the Discovery Agent to poll the available list of SAP application servers.

The default value is 6000.

Polling Publisher Reference Click to select a publisher endpoint that has been created for this transport in the Select a Resource window.

You can click to clear this field.

Application Server Domain Name Specify a unique name for the application server domain.
