Testing SAP PI/PO without installing anything on the PI server

How Figaf records and tests SAP PI/PO interfaces from the message logs, without installing anything on the PI/PO server.

June 27, 2018 · 1 min read

With Figaf we have been able to test your SAP PI/PO system since 2016.

One of the big concerns of customers was that they needed to install our component on their SAP PI/PO system. We have tried to ensure that it cannot break anything and they can receive the code for it. I do understand the challenge in organizations.

That is the reason that we now have added a new feature that allows users to test only their SAP PI/PO interfaces without installing any code on the server. They just download our Jar application and start it on the local laptop for testing. Then add connection information on the PI server, and in most cases, you can use your existing SAP PI user for it.

You can try it out now with a free trial. There is also a host of other features for testing and improving the development of interfaces.

Requirements for testing

You must have Java on your laptop to run Figaf; see the download page for the version. And it must be able to start up the web application that is build in to it.

You need a patched system after October where the feature to read payloads from the log messages was released. See SAP note 2437778

You user must have access to read in the message logs and possible setup the XI30 channel for running the test with.

You will need to have the interface to save both the inbound and outbound message (BI and AM) . You can configure this global or just for the specific ICO/Iflow See this blog on the logging. It is just the logging required not the staging.

I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback on how this works in the real world.
