Although it pretty straight-forward scenario, no content is present on SCN as a one-stop solution.
Business Requirement: Send an email to the customer with a body like with:
<<Dear Customer,
…
Click here to accept.
… >>
Clicking the hyperlink, the input parameter (Order ID) will be populated into the URL, and sent to the RFC in SAP ECC:
“htts://<server_pi>:<port>/…/zwebservice?p_order=123”
Solution: A simple HTTP to RFC scenario can help here.
Step 1: Create a HTTP_AAE sender channel in PI with ASMA properties and URL parameters checked. Since we have all our client's scenarios based on ICOs, I opted for the HTT_AAE channel.
Provide a name for the URLParamOne.
Step 2: Create a test dummy sender interface which could have a simple structure like
Step 3: Create a mapping between the dummy sender interface and receiver RFC. This message mapping will read the URL parameter and send it into the Order_ID field in the RFC.
For this purpose develop a UDF with no input parameters and one output parameter
String orderId = new String();
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey urlParameter = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System", "URLParamOne");
orderId = conf.get(urlParameter);
return orderId;
Step 4: Create a RFC receiver channel for the SAP ECC system.
Step 5: Provide the URL to be inserted in the email to be sent to the customer.
Note: Ideally, this URL will have the web-dispatcher/proxy server URL and not the actual PI server URL.
