Preliminaries
Introduction / Overview
The SAP Netweaver Process Integration - Integration Directory (Builder) is the environment for configuring
the communication of the Integration Server and the Advanced Adapter Engine. The set of configuration
objects in the Integration Directory includes e.g. communication components (e.g. Business Systems from
SLD) for senders and receivers, logical routing (receiver determination, interface determination) as well as
technical routing (receiver agreement).
In addition to the Integration Builder, there is also a web service-based application programming interface
(API), which can be used to modify and activate objects in the Integration Directory. The API provides the
same configuration options that are possible in the Integration Directory and is implemented as synchronous
web services on the java server. Thus the web service WSDLs are available in the ES Repository (or
Integration Repository in the earlier version SAP NetWeaver PI 7.0) and from the java server’s web service
runtime.
In this document, the main focus will be on how to use the directory web service API in the PI 7.11 (and later
releases) environment, giving hints how particular parts of the implementation would look like with PI 7.0.
This new version of the Directory API is available with EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1. When explaining
the API, the corresponding parts of the Integration Directory and possibly the ES Repository (respectively
Integration Repository) are set into context. However, a full comparison of the PI 7.0 and PI 7.11 (and later
releases) API and explanation of the PI tools is not in scope in this document. For a comprehensive overview
of the Integration Directory and API please refer to [1], [2]. When looking for a sample exclusively dealing
with Directory API 7.0 see [3].
Note: In general, when using SAP Netweaver PI 7.1 (and later releases), but working with the Directory API, version 7.0,
only those objects can be used, which do not use new features introduced later. For instance, trying to access
attributes of sender agreements, like software component version of sender interface with schema validation, will
lead to a version incompatibility exception.
The first part of the document (see Getting Started - Development Process) deals with the setup of the web
service client. This is the basis for the query and read implementation (see Query and Read Configuration
Content) as well as the change list administration and creation of configuration objects (see Change Lists
and Write PI Configuration Content) which is explained at a sample.
Prerequisite of using the Directory API

As a prerequisite of using the Directory API, the user has to be assigned to specific roles in the java server.
Hence, these roles cannot be assigned in the AS ABAP user management e.g. transaction SU01.
Assigning roles in PI 7.11:

Since the Visual Administrator is no longer available with PI 7.11, the SAP NetWeaver Administrator
(referred to as NWA in this article) has to be used [3].
1. Start NWA (using http://<server>:<port>/useradmin).

2. Search for the userid.
3. Select and display the details of the userid.
4. Modify the userid.
5. In Assigned Roles tab, enter search using criteria: SAP_XI_API*.
6. Select and add roles: SAP_XI_API_DISPLAY_J2EE and SAP_XI_API_DEVELOP_J2EE.
For the assignment of the PI 7.0 roles (api_develop, api_display in

sap.com/com.sap.xi.directory*aii_ibdir_sbeans.jar) read [3].

Getting Started - Development Process

In this document, the Development Environment (IDE) of choice is the NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS)
7.1 or better 7.2. There a new project is created or an existing one is chosen into which the web service
clients of the Directory API are generated. As shown in Figure 1, in the NWDS import wizard the WSDL file
has to be chosen and one of the following WSDL sources is specified:
 Enterprise Services Repository (via URL)
 Remote Location / File System (WSDL file extracted from External Definition in the ES Repository:
binding configuration will be required)
 Services Registry
Figure 1: NWDS import wizard showing the selection of WSDL (under Web services), and the import
dialog with the list of available WSDL sources
Importing WSDL from Enterprise Services Repository

The import of the WSDL directly from the Enterprise Services Repository (ES Repository) is considered as
the most convenient, since all information is provided, especially the binding information, which contains the
endpoint of where the web service is to be executed.
Therefore ES Repository system, host and port information has to be configured which can be done in the
Enterprise Service Browser in advance. As depicted in Figure 2, this browser is located in the IDE's
Preferences » WebServices.

Figure 2: NWDS preferences view showing the configuration of the Enterprise Service Browser
After logging into the system's Enterprise Services Repository via NWDS import wizard, it is possible to
browse through all services offered (see Figure 3) by Software Component Version and choose the service
for which a client has to be generated.

Importing WSDL from Remote Location / File System

In case of importing a WSDL from remote location / file system it is preferred to use the file from the Single
Service Administration: Service Definition (SAP NetWeaver Administrator » Configuration Management »
Connectivity).
Figure 4: Service definition view of the Single Service Administration in SAP NetWeaver
Administrator showing old (SAP NetWeaver 7.0) and new (SAP NetWeaver 7.11) services available in
the corresponding ES Repository with their qualified WSDL. Suffix -Vi indicates old (NW 7.0) API
services and suffix -In denotes new (>= NW 7.11) services
It can be loaded from the service definition using the WSDLs tab in the details section of a selected service
(see Figure 4). Within this file binding information is already included, to avoid additional configuration.
After a successful import of the WSDL from arbitrary location, the web service client can be created by
executing the

© 2009 SAP AG 6
client generation on the file (see Figure 5, right-click on the file » Web Services » Generate Client).
Figure 5: NWDS web service client generation possibility when right-clicking on the imported WSDL
The generation wizard (see Figure 6) is the same that is used for direct web service client creation (right-click
on Project » New » Other » WebServices » Web Service Client and paste the WSDL URL from the remote
location section).
Figure 6: NWDS client generation wizard which is accessible via WSDL or directly via NWDS project
showing the configuration of the client to be created
Note: if no additional web service runtime is installed on the system, the SAP NetWeaver runtime can be used. However,
it is not set as default in the wizard and has to be set explicitly.
The generated web service client can now be used in any application within this NWDS project to call the
Integration Directory services in the specified SAP NetWeaver system. During the development it is very
helpful to use the Web Service Navigator for viewing the services and determining their obligatory
parameters as well as their keys.

Query and Read Configuration Content

Since the Directory API supports all kinds of SAP NetWeaver PI configuration (configuration objects for
classic PI configuration, integrated configuration for Advanced Adapter Engine (since NW 7.3), and direct
connections), there are multiple entry points to access configuration data.
Although this document focuses on standard PI configuration, the gained knowledge and parts of the source
code can be re-used when working with e.g. direct connections or integrated configuration. Working with the
standard PI configuration objects can be done starting from configuration scenarios or straight forward by
using the specific objects directly.
Figure 7: Web Service Navigator view accessed by Provider System on local Java AS showing the
search result for configuration scenarios. Suffix -Vi indicates old (NW 7.0) API services and suffix -In
denotes new (>= NW 7.11) services
When starting with configuration scenarios, using "ConifgurationScenarioIn" web service (see Figure 7), all
configuration objects added to the scenario can be accessed. However, only key information is returned,
which requires additional direct calls to the single configuration objects. Hence this document shows how to
access the configurable objects within the standard PI configuration directly. More specifically sample access
to PI communication components (business components, business systems) and the technical routing
(sender/receiver agreements, sender/receiver channels) are described.
As described before, a new NWDS Java project is created called "PIDirectory_Article" with a src-package
"com.sap.pi.directory.article" containing the following classes:
 DirectoryAPIMain: Main()
 DirectoryApiDAO: data access object which encapsulates the complete access to the Integration
Directory
 DirectoryApiConfiguration: Parameter settings for Integration Directory access
Then the required web service clients for communication components (BusinessSystemIn,
BusinessComponentIn) and technical routing (SenderAgreementIn, ReceiverAgreementIn,
CommunicationChannelIn) are created from their WSDLs as shown before. In Figure 8 the NWDS project
structure is denoted showing the manually created Java classes as well as the generated web service
clients.

service clients
Web Service Client Configuration

Although the Integration Directory web service clients have been generated using WSDL documents from a
specific ES Repository, they can be configured to access any compatible Integration Directory. Out of
simplicity reasons a distinct class (DirectoryApiConfiguration) is created which statically manages the
configuration parameters: USERID, PASSWORD, SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT. Of course, in productive
environments this would be managed differently.
Code snippet: static member variables of the configuration class
private static String USERID = "youruser";

private static String PASSWORD = "yourpassword";
private static String SERVER_NAME = "yourservername";
private static String SERVER_PORT = "yourserverport";
In this context (see Appendix, Listing 1), USERID and PASSWORD are the same that are used to access
Integration Directory. SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT specify the PI server and its HTTP port.
Integration Directory Data Access Object

With the configuration information, the web service clients can be used to connect to any compatible
Integration Directory for offered operations {Change, Check, Create, Delete, OpenForEdit, Query, Read,
Revert}. A sample implementation of the {Change, Create, Query, Read} operations for the specified
configuration objects can be found in Appendix, Listing 2.
A prerequisite for all operations is the creation of a service instance
Code snippet: business system service client
// get web service

BusinessSystemInService service = new BusinessSystemInService();

© 2009 SAP AG 9
which is used to retrieve a port object of this service
Code snippet: business system service client port
// get port
BusinessSystemIn systemComp = service.getBusinessSystemInPort();
and set the binding context specified in the configuration information
Code snippet: call method to setup the context of the client port
// setup context and authorization

this.setupContext((javax.xml.ws.BindingProvider) systemComp,
DirectoryApiConfiguration.getUserid(),
DirectoryApiConfiguration.getPassword());
The "setupContext" method is treating the port object as "BindingProvider", determines the endpoint address
property and sets USERID, PASSWORD and the ENDPOINT_ADDRESS to it. This is basically the same
mechanism as in the SAP NetWeaver PI 7.0 Directory API. The only difference apart from the different web
service clients and some types is the instantiation of the port object which is done as follows:
Code snippet: Integration Directory API 7.0 sample for retrieving the port
// get port
BusinessSystemInServiceVi systemComp = service.getHTTPBasicAuthPort();
Then a request object, e.g. for query, is created filled with relevant data (if necessary) and used as import
parameter when calling the service using the port object.
Code snippet: build query object and execute operation on port
// Create a new instance of request object expected by Communication

BusinessSystemQueryIn query = new BusinessSystemQueryIn();
// action: use systemComp to query

BusinessSystemQueryOut result = systemComp.query(query);
In case of a query, the result contains the keys of the found PI configuration objects as java.util.List of
CommunicationComponentID and a list of log messages in case an exception occurred during execution.

© 2009 SAP AG 10
Note: The log message type is LogMessageCollection which contains java.util.List for all provided PI
configuration objects. However, when querying e.g. for business systems only
getLogMessageBusinessSystem() could contain exceptions which resulted from the query.
The keys of the configuration objects can then be used to read the PI configuration object data. Hence they
are added via addAll(ids) to the request object before execution.
Code snippet: create read object and add relevant information before executing
// Create a new instance of request object expected by Communication

BusinessSystemReadIn readIn = new BusinessSystemReadIn();
readIn.setReadContext(ReadContextCode.ACTIVE);
readIn.getBusinessSystemID().addAll(ids);
Code snippet: create read object and add relevant information before executing
An important parameter is ReadContextCode which specifies the change list settings {ACTIVE,USER} for
user specific or active change lists.
Query and Read Integration Directory

The data access object can then be used by applications to work with the data from Integration Directory. As
mentioned, the result of the query method could be used directly to retrieve data from the directory. Now, for
instance, the business system identifier and its party could be printed to see all existing business systems
known within the chosen Integration Directory.
Code snippet: create data access object of the Directory API and read all business systems which are returned by the
query as well as print out their identifiers and parties
DirectoryApiDAO directory = new DirectoryApiDAO();
List<BusinessSystem> bs = directory.readBusinessSystemIn(directory
.queryBusinessSystemIn());
System.out.println("Business Systems:");
for (int i = 0; i < bs.size(); i++) {

// display party and id
System.out.println(bs.get(i).getBusinessSystemID().getPartyID()
+ "#" +
bs.get(i).getBusinessSystemID().getComponentID());
}
For the complete sample application code see Appendix, Listing 3.
Note: When reviewing the read results of the communication channels there might be some fields which seem to lack the
information which is available in the directory. It might be no surprise that passwords are not returned by API, but
what about the adapter metadata?

Figure 9: ES Repository view on the adapter metadata of SAP BASIS 7.11
In those cases a look into the adapter metadata view of ES Repository (see Figure 9) might be helpful, to check
which information is going to be returned by the API.

Change Lists and Write PI Configuration Content

The update or creation of PI configuration content requires the use of Integration Directory change lists.
Change lists are the container in which changes in general are kept until they get activated or rejected. Any
of the change operations of the API create a default change list per call in which the changes are
administrated. Though this default behavior might be helpful when writing sample applications, it becomes
more important to control the change lists when it comes to real applications.
Using Change Lists

For the administration of change lists, a new ChangeListIn web service client is needed (see Figure 10).
Figure 10: NWDS project structure showing the newly added web service client for change list
support
The scope which is of interest for this document contains the change list's basic lifecycle operations {create,
activate, reject}. As in case of the query and read operations, a service (here ChangeListInService) is
used to get the port object. After the context has been set to the port object, a change list data transfer object
of type RestrictedChangeListID is created which is used to specify the change list's name and
language dependent description.
Code snippet: set name and language dependent description to change list object
RestrictedChangeListID id = new RestrictedChangeListID();

id.setName(changeListName);
LONGDescription description = new LONGDescription();

description.setValue(changeListDescription);
description.setLanguageCode(changeListDescriptionLanguageCode);
id.setDescription(description);
The activation and rejection of the change list then only need the ID (GUID) of the change list, which is
returned when creating the list. These change list identifiers are important when it comes to the change or
creation of configuration objects. For further details of the implementation see Appendix, Listing 2.

© 2009 SAP AG 13
Note: The method checkContent can be used to check consistency of the change list and getCacheState
returns information about the cache distribution and can thus be useful in case of erroneous behavior.
Create PI Configuration Content

After having added the change list web service client to the project, the data access object can be enhanced
by the create methods for the configuration objects (see Appendix, Listing 2). The setup of service, port and
context are the same as for the query and read services. But then a newly created change list is set to the
request object as well as (at least) the key information required for this configuration object.
Code snippet: instantiate e.g. business system create object, set the created change list identifier, instantiate the
corresponding business system data object and set its name and master language before creation
BusinessSystemCreateChangeIn create = new BusinessSystemCreateChangeIn();

create.setChangeListID(changeList.getChangeListID()
.getChangeListID());
RestrictedBusinessSystem bs = new RestrictedBusinessSystem();

bs.setMasterLanguage(masterLanguage);
bs.setBusinessSystemID(id);
create.getBusinessSystem().add(bs);
ConfigurationObjectModifyOut out = comp.create(create);
The same mechanisms apply to the creation of the other configuration objects. The data access object
containing the complete implementation of query, read and create as well as the change list methods can be
found in Appendix, Listing 2.
Case Study: Create new Receiver with XI Adapter

With the knowledge and source code that has been presented, it is now possible to create a new receiver
communication component, its own receiver communication channel and a receiver agreement.
Since this case study does not assume that business systems are correctly defined in SLD, a business
component will be created. A prerequisite is an existing change list article-changeList. See Appendix,
Listing 3, for the complete source code.
Code snippet: create change list
// create change list

ChangeListCreateOut changeList = directory.createChangeList(
"article-changeList",
"Change list for article on Integration Directory API",
masterLanguage);
Then the business component Receiver_Article is created (which does not be maintained in SLD). The
major difference between the creation of business systems and components is the possibility to set inbound
and outbound interfaces to the business components. In this case, the business component is created with
empty interfaces.

© 2009 SAP AG 14
Code snippet: create change list
String businessComponent = "Receiver_Article";
// create new receiver business component - if it does not exist

CommunicationComponentID id = new CommunicationComponentID();
id.setComponentID(businessComponent); // does not need to exist in SLD
List<DesignObjectID> inboundObjectId = new ArrayList<DesignObjectID>();

List<DesignObjectID> outboundObjectId = new ArrayList<DesignObjectID>();
directory.createBusinessComponent(changeList, masterLanguage, id,

inboundObjectId, outboundObjectId);
Figure 11: Communication component editor showing details of the generated business component (with its
assigned communication channel). The reference to the channel is added by the system after its creation
The newly created business component (Figure 11) now needs a communication channel which we assume
to be a receiver channel of type XI. Therefore only the required information is set. However, some of the
adapter specific attributes, e.g. host, have to be set specifically for your landscape. This is required for
runtime. The settings chosen in this document allow at least a creation of the communication channel.
Code snippet: create receiver communication channel of type XI
String receiverChannelIdString = "ZArticle_GeneratedReceiverChannel_XI";

© 2009 SAP AG 15
// create RECEIVER communication channel for business system

CommunicationChannelID receiverChannelID = new CommunicationChannelID();
//receiverChannelID.setPartyID("");
receiverChannelID.setComponentID(businessComponent);
// prerequisite: is created
receiverChannelID.setChannelID(receiverChannelIdString);
// adapter meta data

DesignObjectID objectId = new DesignObjectID();
objectId.setName("XI");
objectId.setNamespace("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System");
objectId.setSoftwareComponentVersionID("e5a519a0-7661-11dc-a2e8-
e95d0a115642");
// channel data
CommunicationChannelDirection direction =
CommunicationChannelDirection.RECEIVER;
String transportProtocol = "HTTP";

String transportProtocolVersion = "1.0";
String messageProtocol = "XI";
String messageProtocolVersion = "3.0";
// adapter specific attributes

List<GenericProperty> properties = new ArrayList<GenericProperty>();
GenericProperty property = new GenericProperty();

property.setName("host");
property.setValue("TODO: set your host name");
properties.add(property);
property = new GenericProperty();

property.setName("addressingMode");
property.setValue("url");

property.setName("port");
property.setValue("TODO: set your port");

property.setName("path");
property.setValue("/sap/xi/engine?type=entry");
String receiverChannel = directory.createCommunicationChannel(

changeList, masterLanguage, receiverChannelID, objectId,
direction, transportProtocol, transportProtocolVersion,
messageProtocol, messageProtocolVersion, properties);

© 2009 SAP AG 16
Figure 12: Communication channel editor showing details of the generated communication channel with its
adapter specific attributes
With the generated receiver communication channel (see Figure 12) a receiver agreement is created
assuming the receiver interfaces simply is FlightBookingOrderRequest_In of the delivered demo
airline scenario (see Figure 13).
Code snippet: create receiver agreement for business component with communication channel
// create receiver agreement

// receiver agreement id
MessageHeaderID header = new MessageHeaderID();
header.setSenderComponentID("*");
header.setInterfaceName("FlightBookingOrderRequest_In");
header.setInterfaceNamespace("http://sap.com/xi/XI/Demo/Airline");
header.setReceiverComponentID(businessComponent);
// communication channel
CommunicationChannelID channelId = new CommunicationChannelID();
//channelId.setPartyID("");
channelId.setChannelID(receiverChannel);
channelId.setComponentID(businessComponent);
directory.createReceiverAgreement(changeList, masterLanguage, header,

channelId);

© 2009 SAP AG 17
// activate changes if required

//directory.activateChangeList(changeList);
Figure 13: Receiver agreement editor showing details of the generated receiver agreement with its receiver
interface and receiver communication channel
After the business component, its receiver channel and agreement have been successfully created, it is kept
in the formerly created change list article-changeList (see Figure 14). All configuration objects can
now be checked for consistency. That is due to the commented activation step in the source code and allows
a manual check in the system (can be checked via checkContent method of the Directory API). The check
only looks for severe issues and allows e.g. incorrectly filled adapter specific attributes in the communication
channel. However, if the settings are not corrected, this will lead to errors during runtime.
Figure 14: Integration Builder change list view showing the generated change list containing the business
component, communication channel and receiver agreement
Why does the printout of the sample application not show any of the created components? That depends on
the change list. If the change list has not been activated the ReadContextCode.ACTIVE setting prevents
from retrieving the created but not yet activated change list objects. Solutions might be settings the context to
ReadContextCode.USER, or programmatically activate the change list.
