4. Configure Integration Engine Administration using Subscribe
transaction SXMB_ADM.
5. Configure SLDAPICUST.
6. Create HTTP Destination in PI/PO for Inbound Proxy processing.
Prerequisites: HTTP services are active in SICF.
7. Create Proxy Sender and Receiver Communication Channels in
PI/PO. Sender Channel: SOAP_Sender, Receiver Channel:
SOAP_Receiver.

Step 1 – Create Destination for Advanced

Adapter Engine (AAE) in SM59.
This destination of type G (HTTP Connection to External Server) is
directed to Advance Adapter Engine (AAE) of Process Integration (PI) or
Process Orchestration (PO).

You can name the destination HTTP_<PI/PO System ID>. Let’s assume
the System ID of the development server is POD. HTTP Destination
name will be HTTP_POD.

Parameters used for AAE HTTP destination.

Connection Type = G (HTTP Connection to External Server) Privacy & Cookies Policy

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Target Host = <Host Name of AAE or AEX>

Port (Service No) = <HTTP Port Number of AAE or AEX host server>
: Default 50000

Port for HTTP is ‘5<system number>00’ and for HTTPS — ‘5<system

number>01’. Default port for J2EE server is ‘50000’.

Path Prefix= /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?ximessage=true

Logon and Security.

HTTP RFC Destination to AAE or AEX of Process Orchestration

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Maintain PI/PO system username and password under ‘Basic

Authorization’ logon procedure.

Step 2 – Create HTTP Destination to

Enterprise Resource Repository (ESR).
This RFC destination is used by transaction SPROXY to import Enterprise
Repository objects and generate Proxy objects.  You can name the RFC
destination SAP_PROXY_ESR.

Parameters used for HTTP Connection to ESR.

Technical settings of this HTTP RFC destination are similar to HTTP
destination to ABAP back-end.

Connection Type = G (HTTP Connection to External Server)

Target Host = <Host Name of AAE or AEX>

Port (Service No) = <HTTP Port Number of AAE or AEX host server>
: Default 50000
Path Prefix = /rep
Logon and Security = Same as HTTP destination to ABAP back-end
in Step 1.

HTTP Destination to ESR in SAP back-end system in sm59.

Step 3 – Setup HTTP RFC Destination to

System Landscape Directory (SLD).
Create another HTTP RFC Destination to SLD from sm59. We will reuse
this HTTP destination in Step 5 to setup SLD Access Data in SLDPICUST
transaction.

HTTP RFC Destination to System Landscape Directory (SLD)

Step 4 – Configure Integration Engine Using

Transaction SXMB_ADM.
Go to SXMB_ADM and select the node ‘Integration Engine
Configuration’.

Select Integration Engine Configuration node of SXMB_ADM administrator

Then choose ‘Configuration’ option. Privacy & Cookies Policy

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Choose ‘Configuration’ option.

Add new entries to the configuration and define parameters ‘IS_URL‘,

‘HTTP_TIMEOUT‘ and ‘ENGINE_TYPE‘.

Add new entries to SXMB_ADM Integration Engine Configuration

Settings for IS_URL’, ‘HTTP_TIMEOUT’ and ‘ENGINE_TYPE’ parameters of

Integration Engine.

Destination name after characters dest:// is the RFC destination we

created in Step 1.

Step 5 – Setup SLD Access Data via

SLDAPICUST.
Go to transaction SLDAPICUST and add the SLD HTTP Destination
name as Alias Name SAP_CONFIG. Make sure to select the options
Access to SLD Server Using HTTP and Connect Using HTTP Destination.

These are the recommended settings. But you can directly configure
the SLD URL without HTTP destination also. Privacy & Cookies Policy

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

SLDAPICUST Settings for alias SAP_CONFIG.

Step 6 – Create HTTP Destination in Net-

weaver Administrator (NWA).
In this step we will create an HTTP Destination to SAP back-end
integration server from PI/PO NWA.

Go to NWA > Configuration > Infrastructure > Destinations and create

HTTP destination to Netweaver Integration Engine.

NWA > Configuration > Infrastructure > Destinations

Create a new Destination using New Destination creation wizard.

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Choose Create New Destination in NWA.

Usually, Destination Name is defined as <SAP System ID>CLNT<Client

Number>_HTTP. In this example, the destination name is
SADCLNT100_HTTP. Destination type is HTTP.

Configure Destination via Wizard.

In the next screen define the Connection and Transport details. URL,
System ID, Client and Language parameters are mandatory.

System ID is the SAP System ID (SAD in this example). And client is 900.

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Connection and Transport detail. URL, System ID, Client and Language
parameters.

To find the URL, go to transaction SICF (SAP back-end) and choose

‘Execute’. Service tree will be displayed in the result. Expand the Service
tree’s Default host and navigate to
default_host > sap > iwbep or default_host > sap > xi > engine.

Next Step is to define the logon data. In this example I will use Basic
Authentication method with Username and Password.

HTTP destination Authentication Data.

This HTTP destination will be reused in SOAP Receiver Communication

Channel in step 7.

Step 7 – Create Sender and Receiver SOAP

(HTTP) Communication Channel.
Finally, create the Sender and Receiver Proxy Communication Channels
in SAP PI/PO under the SAP Business System.

SOAP Sender Communication Channel.

Proxy (SOAP) Sender Communication Channel Configuration

SOAP Receiver Communication Channel.

Proxy (SOAP) Receiver Communication Channel.

Use Address Type “HTTP Destination” and assign the HTTP Destination
name we created in Step 6.

How to Test Proxy Connectivity.

There are several ways to check if the Proxy settings are configured in
SAP back-end system and Process Orchestration system.

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Check if RFC and HTTP Destinations Are

Working Fine.
Using transaction sm59 and Connection Test, check if the RFC
Destinations are functioning as expected. Repeat this step for all RFC
destinations we created in previous steps.

Test the RFC Destinations using transaction sm59.

Connection Test Successful with HTTP return code 200

Test SLD Status Using Transaction

SLDCHECK.
Execute Transaction SLDCHECK to make sure SLD configuration steps
were performed correctly. Choose Allow in the pop-up window.

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Simply execute transaction SLDCHECK.

You should receive a positive response from SLDCHECK if necessary

configuration is correctly executed.

Test ESR Connection Using

SPROX_CHECK_IFR_RESPONSE.
Execute the program via transaction se38 to test the status of ESR
Connection.

6/27/2019 Complete Proxy Configuration Guide for SAP PI/PO and ECC - SAP Integration Hub

Test ESR connectivity using program SPROX_CHECK_IFR_RESPONSE

ESR Connection Successful.

Check Proxy Objects via Transaction

SPROXY.
Check if SPROXY shows the Software Components (SWCVs) and Proxy
Objects included in the Namespaces.

Check if you can view the SWCVs from ESR in SPROXY transaction.

Test Communication Channels via Runtime

Monitor.
Go to Configuration Monitoring Home > Adapter Engine >
Communication Channel Monitor and ping the Sender and Receiver
Communication Channels.

Hello Rao,
Thank you! I have already written few articles on java mapping
in SAP PI.
1. How to edit and create java mapping using eclipse NWDS.
2. How to convert base64 using java mapping.
Check them out.
Cheers!
