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

SAPClient: Client of the SAP ERP system

UserName: User who can access the configured SAP ERP system

Password:

Language:

Server Name: SAP ERP Application Server name

Port Number: System number of SAP ERP system

Binding Key: XMIIIDOC
NOTE

Check to see if IDocs or RFCs were received in SAP MII
1. On the SAP MII administration menu, choose Message Services Message Monitor.
2. Choose Advanced.
3. Enter the time period in the From Time and To Date fields.
4. Choose Go.

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 Message Services Message Monitor.
2. Select XMIIMESSAGELISTENER in the Message Listeners and choose Edit.

Alternatively the parameters can also be passed as parameters using the URL, http://host:port//
XMII/Illuminator?
service=WSMessageListener&mode=WSMessageListenerServer&Name=<MessageName>MessageID=<M
essageID>
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=<M
essageID>&SequenceName=<SequenceName>&MessageNumber=<MessageNumber>.
Setting up a Message Processing Rule

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 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.
24/54 PUBLIC 2013-11-25
Parameter Description
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.
