9iAS Integration -- processing batches?

I'm trying to make sense of the 9iAS Integration product based on all the downloadable materials. I understand that the product is essentially message based, but is it possible to use the product to process batches of data?
For example, can I use the FTP adapter to process a D3L-spec'd file that contains more than one row -- mapping to multiple rows in a database table via the DB adapter)? And can I somehow send a variable number of rows out to a single flat file via the FTP adapter? Or must I process every row individually to a separate file?
Thanks!
Richard

Depends on the version.
Personally, 9.0.2 needed all my attention. 9.0.4/10g
was a huge relief.

  • Integration Process not continuing after Synchronous BAPI call

    I have an integration process that splits up a batch file of purchase orders into single purchase order messages. This allows me to use the "ForEach" block to call the synchronous BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
    I have managed to get the process to call the BAPI and create the purchase order. The response message arrives back though the abstract synchronous interface and is mapped to the asyncronous response message. After that the process seems to hold where I am expecting it to continue on the process and be appended to a container storage list for mapping to a single return message.
    I have not set up any correlation sets as I thought they wouldn't be needed for a sychronous call.
    Has anyone got any advice on my approach to this process and how I might fix it.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Bhavesh,
    There are no errors as such in the SXMB_MONI but it gets as far as the Inbound Message (PE_ADAPTER) stage after the Sych BAPI call.
    Also the SOAP Header at this stage seems to be missing "sysnchronous" or "asynchronous" in the  SAP:ProcessingMode tags.
    The technical workflow is as follows
    FTP Batch file outbound to Integratin Process Receive (Async)
    Transform message into a Multiline list of BAPI_PO_CREATE1.request (async abstract)
    Enter "For Each" Block using the multiline list.
    BAPI_PO_CREATE1 mapped to synchronous abstract interface
    synchronous abstract interface mapped to BAPI_PO_CREATE.request and response
    BAPI_PO_CREATE.response mapped to async BAPI_PO_CREATE.response
    async BAPI_PO_CREATE.response appended to multiline list
    Exit block
    Transform multiline response list into single line response
    FTP inbound
    As far as I can make out I have not correctly configured the receiver of PO_CREATE1.response after it has been mapped from the sync to async so it just persists it and sits there waiting or it is waiting for somethign else to happen.
    Let me know if I can clarify anything further.
    Thanks

  • Multiple Queue Assignment for Integration Process - PI 7.11

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure multiple Queues for an Integration Process.
    The Integration Process is straight forward, except for a Asynchronous Request Response pattern with correlation. (A asynch send step - immediately followed by a asynchronous receive step with Correlation)
    I have done the following
    1) In IR set the Queue as Multiple - Content Specific
    2) In SWF_INB_CONF transaction reconfigured Multiple Queues - Content Specific without buffering
    But when I trigger the message, the message is not at all triggering/entering the Integration Process. The error message is BPE Internal Failure.
    But if I reconfigure the IP as One Configurable Queue & "Without Buffering", it is working. But we want multiple queues assigned to this Process.
    Thanks in advance.

  • On all my other apple devices my Icloud works. I have tride the hard reset idea, i have tried to delete my i clod account on he iphone, but nothing works. Why is the not an integrated process apple? How do i change my apple id and password to my new

    Why is the update on Icloud setting not an integrated process Apple desingners! On my apple iphone 5, after new ipdate. My icloud on my iphone askes to back up. It still have my old id an password and I cant change it anywhere. I dont have that email account for a year now , and dont have the password of it. All my other devices shows my new apple Id and password. I cant change it at mannege my apple Id because it is the new one. Itune use the new one, but no, not my iphone. So, what do I do now?

    You have to do the following to get your new Apple/iCloud ID signed onto your device:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is temporary):
    Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete the iCloud account. Use your current Apple ID password when asked. Follow the prompts to delete the account
    3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your new email address (you may need to verify it again)
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with your new Apple ID. Turn on the options you want sync'd with iCloud, give it a little time to push the info down to your device.

  • How to trigger an integration process at a certain time each night.

    I have an integration process to collect messages that I would like to trigger at a specific time each night. I looked at the Wait step in order to do this, but it looks like you can specify a fixed time, or a repeating time.
    If I used 'Wait until Specified time', I could specify the time, but the date is a problem; I cannot fix it as a certain date because it will only work for that date only.
    If I take the date from a field of the message, I'm not sure what will happen since it looks as if the date would be updated each time a message is received to the collective process.
    I could take the date from the first message, and store it as a variable, then use that in the wait step, but since the date is not in the correct format, I would need to use xpath somehow to do that.
    Alternatively I was thinking about  using a wait for event step, and raising the event from a background job, but this only seems to be available in ABAP Workflow directly, not from the Integration Process Editor. Is it permissable to modify the generated ABAP Workflow and add a Wait for Event step to allow this to happen?
    Does anybody have an opinion on the best way to proceed?

  • XML file, with multiple customer records - post DEBMAS over Integr.Process

    Hi all,
    is it possible to map a single XML file message that contains multiple records for customer master to multiple messages ?
    I know that it is possible to do a "multi IDOC " mapping but then the splitting of the messages is done by the IDOC adapter, not earlier.
    I have to process every single customer master record by an integration process to check if its creation or change (and get the customer number).
    When I try in the interface mapping to set the receiver to "0 to unbound" then also the message format of the sender requires two additional hierarchie levels "...message, message1" . My orginal file does not contain these tags.
    Is XI not able to handle this easy requirement without making a university study out of it?
    Thank you very much for your help
    best regards
    Hans

    You need not worry about those tags to be in your file. Those are added while mapping is being executed. All that you need to do is use file content conversion in sender adapter and put your lookup logic in Integration Process and mapping..!!
    You do not need a university degree, if you understadn the concepts..!!

  • Dynamic configuration in integration process using abap mapping

    Hi everybody,
    i have the following scenario:
    file adapter -> integration process -> file adapter
    The integration process uses an ABAP mapping and sets the filename in dynamic configuration as follows:
    *-- Set Parameter
        clear ls_dyn_record.
        ls_dyn_record-name      = gc_dyn_config_name.
        ls_dyn_record-namespace = gc_dyn_config_ns.
        ls_dyn_record-value     = <new_file_name>
    *-- Write configuration
        ir_dyn_config->add_record( ls_dyn_record ).
    But now the new filename is not reflected in the file adapter (receiver). In the integration monitor (SXMB_MONI) i still find the old filename.
    Whats wrong?
    Elko

    The ABAP mapping is more complex, setting filename in Dyn. Conf. is just one step in mapping.
    If I check the Workflow protocol of the Integration Process, I find the following in the Trace of the ABAP-Mapping:
    The filename has been set to 3233340.SWNF00HW.P10I. The Suffix P10I has been added in the ABAP mapping.
    When I check the subsequent message in SXMB_MONI I find:
    The added suffix is missing in the filename !!

  • Handling fault messages in an Integration Process (bpm)

    I have a bpm in PI 7.11 which performs a synch call to an external webservice. In addition to the request/response, that webservice can also generate two faults: ObjectNotFoundFault and generalfault.  I am having trouble handling these faults - when a fault occurs my handler is not being invoked and thus the bpm process stops/errors. When I look at the underlying process (via txn swi1), I see the exact error text:
    "No exception defined for fault message ObjectNotFoundFault http://www.companyb.com/services/olsa_v1_0/"
    From what I understand within the bpm synch call step to the webservice I need to do the following to handle the exception/fault:
    - put the synch call (to the webservice) into a block
    - add an exception branch to that block named let's say A & set the exception handler of that block to be A
    - in the exception setting of that synch step, select A
    In my case, I don't care about the fault details other than to ensure it does not stop the whole Integration Process, so in my exception branch I don't do anything. I did try adding a control step within it too (as per SAP Press text book).
    Is there anything else I need to do here?  I am not mapping the returned fault - does the fault need to be mapped (not sure how I would do this given that the synch step uses an abstract interface and therefore to my knowledge no fault mapping can be done)? 
    There are 2 Notes that describe my issue exactly:
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1484903
    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1158699 <-- this one refers more to me, but we already have in 7.11
    Can anyone let me know exactly the steps I would perform to handle these faults - does the exception name / handler A above need to be named the actual exception / fault ObjectNotFoundFault?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Keith)?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Thanks - my scenario I guess is #2 of that blog. But is your take that even if I don't care what is in the fault message, i.e. I don't care about the contents of it but rather I just want to continue on from it, that I still need to perform this java coding?  It's not clear to me from what he says - it seems to me he does the java coding to actually capture the contents of the message.  I am in fact using the soap axis adapter too, as he is. The screen shot showing the exception branch is basically what I have.

  • BPM Integration Process that correlates 2 messages.

    I have an BPM Integration Process defined that collects Deliveries for an Order number and when an Invoice arrives for the same Order number it merges the messages to produce another file that is for a 3rd party.
    I correctly receive in the Delivery and the Invoice u2013 I can see them in SXMB_MONI with a checkered flag and they are directed to my BPM.  I can see this also in SXMB_MONI_BPE.  I can also see the correlation correctly found in both messages.  No error is reported by either SXBM.. transaction.
    However it does nothing except receive the files u2013 I am expecting a transformation and then the send step to execute.
    Start >  CollectIDOCBlock  > Collect Fork
    Fork1
    Infinite Loop for Receive Delivery (Start process) and Collect in Container. It uses and activates Correlation OrderNum
    Fork2
    Receive Invoice uses Correlation OrderNum (it does not activate the correlation)
    At the end of the Fork (when Delivery collected and an Invoice is received)
    It will then do the Transformation and Send Step.
    <End
    I have tried various combinations of the correlations and which receive step starts the process.  Any ideas ?

    Yes that did work.  Now does somebody know what exactly the FORK parameter number of branches does ?
    The SAPHelp is here
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    +You can specify the required number of branches and then define whether the process must run through all branches, or just a particular number of branches+
    But it does not explain why you need to have 1 as necessary branches rather than 2.  There are 2 branches in the FORK - so why does having 1 as the parameter work and not 2.
    In this SAPHelp for Message-Dependent Loop
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    it indicates to me that the parameter should be 2.
    BUT the SAP pattern (BpmPatternCollectMessage) I have used as a base for mine has this as 1 and not 2.
    Why is 1 the correct value and not 2 ??

  • Integration process in File to BPM Scenario

    hi,
         gud morning. i got a problem while designing a BPM. in designing the integration process in IR, i am not able to get both the abstract interfaces to select from,  while defining the container. plz post a solution for this. thank u.

    Hi,
    In this blog, I have used Business <b>Service</b> created in the integration directory.. This is an abstract . So I need to specify , the Sender and Receiver Interfaces explicitly in the business service. and it doesnot have any entry in the SLD.
    But if you create the Business System in the SLD and if you import that into the Integration Directory-->Assign this into your configurations scenario, then this step is not required.
    Regd. Importing Integration Process- BPM is kind of Abstract Service.. i.e BPM is acting as a Receiver Service and Sender service both..
    i,e Source to BPM ( here BPM is a Receiver)
        BPM to Target( here BPM is a Sender Service)
    Hope this clarifies..

  • Integration Process Receiver Determination Step

    Hi experts,
    May I know whether the "Receiver Determination Step" (in  Integration Process) that collects the list of receivers configured, can be used only to find list of asynchronous receivers?
    Can't we use this "Receiver Determination Step" in synchronous scenario? If yes, may i know how to?
    Thank you!
    Best Regards,
    Saravanan

    Thank you Gaurav!
    I can understand we can use multi-casting.
    To clearly put my scenario, I have to use synchronous send (so cannot split send and receive step, and so no need of correlation) in my BPM, which have to synchronously send (and so it receives within same step) message to multiple receivers. This is the reason I am trying to use receiver determination step first and in a loop trying to synchronously send message to each receiver and receiving response.
    Now my problem is in the receiver determination step, it is not identifying any of the receivers configured in the integration directory. The receiver determination list returns empty.
    So, I want to know whether this receiver determination step is only for async receivers or synchronous receivers also.
    Best Regards,

  • Performance tuning in objects involving Integration process (BPM)

    Hi,
    We are facing a performance problem in one of our objects having integration process. The messages are getting processed sequentially instead of parallel processing within the integration process. As a result, the messages are getting queued up in the queue waiting for processing. Thus by the time all messages get processed, the time taken would have been alarmingly high. There is no correlation involved in the int process. My questions are
    1. Is there any performance related best practices/checklist/config steps available for BPM related implementation. If so, please furnish/provide the links if any.
    2. If it is not related to BPM , but related to tuning up of the queues, please provide the guidelines for queue tune up.
    3. How to ensure that the messages are processed in-parallel within BPM ?
    Regards
    Ganesh

    Hi,
    Am not sure whether this would help you.  By any chance did u use For Each instead of Par For Each.
    Cos, when u use For each in an container step, all messages would be processed sequentially.
    Do let me know if it helps you!
