Introduction
SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) provides robust monitoring capabilities through its Message Processing Logs (MPL), where users can track message processing and retrieve attachments. However, a common challenge arises when the SAP CPI monitoring UI limits attachment visibility to only the first 500 attachments, even when there are thousands.
This blog post provides a detailed guide on how to bypass this limitation and retrieve all attachments using the SAP CPI OData API.
Retrieving Attachments via SAP CPI OData API
1.Identify Your CPI Tenant URL
For Neo Environment:
https://<tenant Id>-tmn.hci.<landscape>.hana.ondemand.com/
For Cloud Foundry Environment:
https://<tenant Id>.<system id, e.g. it-cpi001>.cfapps.<landscape>.hana.ondemand.com/
2.Authenticate Your API Request
SAP CPI API requests require Basic Authentication or OAuth 2.0.
Using Basic Authentication, include your credentials as a base64-encoded username and password. Basic Authentication Headers:
Authorization: Basic <base64-encoded-username:password>
Accept: application/json
Or, if using Postman, you can put the username and password directly in the Authorization
If your tenant enforces OAuth 2.0, you first need to obtain an access token and use it:
Authorization: Bearer <your-access-token>
Accept: application/json
3.Retrieve All Attachments
Use the following API request to fetch all attachments related to a specific message ID:
GET https://<your-cpi-tenant>/api/v1/MessageProcessingLogs(‘<messageId>’)/Attachments
The Message ID can be found in the SAP CPI Monitor section:
4.View the Content of a Specific Attachment
Once you retrieve the list of attachments, each record will have an <id> field. You can use this id to download the attachment content by appending /$value to the request.
Example API Request to Download an Attachment
GET
https://<your-cpi-tenant>:<port(443)>/api/v1/MessageProcessingLogs(‘<messageId>’)/Attachments(‘<attachmentId>’)/$value
Conclusion
While SAP CPI’s monitoring UI limits attachment visibility to the first 500 records, leveraging API capabilities allows you to retrieve and manage attachments beyond this restriction.
