Alerts in Control Step for BPM

Hi.
Is it possible for me to use the Control Step in a BPM to trigger a indication of a error in sxmb_moni?
Fo example. My BPM handels a message that fails in a mapping. In the exception bransch I have a control step thattrigegrs an alert. Will this alert show up in sxmb_moni?
If so is there anybody out there who has a blog or guide on how to setup that configuration?

yes
In transaction ALTCATDEF create an alert category and do not forget to check the Dynamic Text checkbox......then go to RWB ---> Alert Configuration and creat an alert rule for Integration Engine ....this willl give you all the alerts that happen in Integration Engine or in your SXMB_MONI

Control step for exception in BPM

Hi
i am tring to learn exception in BPM.
i inserted this Send step (Synchronous) in exception branch in block. and then inserted control step in exception branch.
i created Errorsend as abbreviation on exception in block.
and assigned this to system error under exceptions in send step. and then defined on Exception handler,
and now i could not define anything on exception in control step for action as Throw Exception, i am not looking at Throw alert.
i made receiver jdbc error and also mapping error in intentionally. when i see sxmb_moni, i can see jdbc error as normal process like not using exception branch.
i would like to complete exception branch and control step for finishing touches.
thanks
venjamin

hi,
send step is for synch and jdbc,,,
abaproxy to jdbc (sync)
i made receiver jdbc error intentionaly. can i send back exception log to sender system program or send email to someone?
when have you been using this function in bpm? if i am not right way.
thanks

Use a control step in BPM

hi all
Is it necessary to use a control step in BPM while using exception handling.
If yes then is it to be used in the exception branch?

>>is it necessary to use a control step in BPM while using exception handling.
No..
You can use control step only if you want to
·        Terminate the current process
·        Trigger an exception
·        Trigger an alert for Alert Management

Receiver Determination steps for BPM scenario

Hi Experts,
Scenario : SOAP -> Calling different webservices
1. SOAP Client Request
2. Call the Initial webserive to get the unique Id. No need to pass any request to call this webservice, but it will give the response.
3. Take the Initial websrevice's response as a request to second webservice
4. Pass the SOAP client request to Third webservice
BPM steps
1. Receive Step for SOAP Request
2. Send Step for the Initial webservice call.
3. Transformation step Initial webservice response to request change.
4. Send Step for Second webservice (Pass the the Transformation step's target interface as a request)
5. Send Step for Third webservice ( Pass SOAP client request)
I am done with the BPM flow. Could you please help to do the Receiver Determination steps.
Usually I follow the below steps.
1. Sender Service to BPM
2. BPM to other services. I have a doubt with the second step. I am not passing the SOAP client request to Initial webservice. So, please tell me how to proceed further for the BPM Receiver Determination steps..
Thanks & Regards
Sara

Hey,
First, what is th purpose of your SOAP client request.
Is it just to trigger the BPM.
Second on what basis are you fetching the unique Id from initial web service.
If it is a normal scenario then, the reciever determination will be like this.
Soap client-> BPM
BPM->initial webservice
BPM->second webservice
BPM->third webservice
but in this particular scenario i dont know which data is being used to fetch the unique Id.

Alert using Dynamic text in BPM.

Hi,
I am using dynamic text function in alrtcatdef transaction for raising an alert using BPM.
But in the alert inbox I am not getting the an alert error message which is passed to alert catagory in control step of BPM. Can anyone please let me know what may be the possible solution of it.
I have done the below configuration:
Configuration done in Alrtcatdef transaction:
Created an alert catagory
assigned the fixed recipient
click the dynamic text button in alert catagory property.
Configuration done in BPM:
Used the Control step.
given the Alert catagory name,action and the alert error message.
Please let me know the solution soon.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

HI Bhavesh,
I have referred the michal weblog and I have done the same step except the container operation step.
My requirement was to send the hard coded error message to the alert catagory so I didnt used the container operation step.
In the Control step I have hard coded my error message.
But still it is not showing in my alert inbox.
Can you please let me know is there any other settings needs to be done.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

Alerts on mapping error from BPM

In my BPM, when I use 'Throw Alert' via control step before transformation, it creates an Alert.
What I would like to do is to Throw Alert when there is a mapping error. And in order to do this, I created an exception block within my transformation step and inserted an exception handler. And in the exception handler, I created control step with 'Throw Alert'.
When there is a mapping error, I do not get an Alert but throws an exception.
Is there anything I'm missing.
Thank you,
Parimala

hi,
Following is the required order
1. Create a block Step BLK_TransformationExceptions.
2. In the properties of BLK_TransformationExceptions
    define an exception TransformException
3. Add Exception Branch into block step.
4. Set the exception handler to TransformException
5. Add your transformation step into block step.
6. In the properties of transformation step set the
    system exception to TransformException(your custum
    exception)
5. Move your alert login into the exception handler.

Dynamic alert messages in BPM control step not getting created

Hi All,
in transaction ALRTCATDEF, i have specified dynamic text for my alert category...........
in my BPM there are 3 control steps.....and i am using this alert category in all of my BPM 3 control steps..... but the alert messages in my 3 control steps are different.........But these alert messages(which i am giving in BPM) is not coming in the alert mail in alert inbox but it gives the common message in long text(which i gave in long text while defining the alert category)......
So can anybody suggest me why my BPM alert message is not coming in the alert generated by BPM control step in the alert inbox of runtime workbench.
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Rajeev,
Please check if you have done the following steps:-
check the dynamic text box available in alrtcatdef transaction, while creating the alert.
In the bpm, create a variable of simple type in a container
Included the container operation and the control step.
For the container operation - give the right simple type variable container
For the control step, specify the correct alert category (this should be the one for which the dynamic text is enabled)
The alert message that you specify here should have text which will be seen when the alert raised
*To capture the dynamic alert in the alert message, which is caught by the container step in the bpm....you will have to give the name of the simple type variable
between two ampersands(&).
"But these alert messages(which i am giving in BPM) is not coming in the alert mail in alert inbox but it gives the common message in long text(which i gave in long text while defining the alert category)......"
On checking the dynamic text option in the alert category defined, you will not have the option of giving a message in the long text. So, there is no way that the long text can be seen - 'cuz you are not defining it in the first place! Hence, either you have given the wrong alert category in the bpm or have not cheked the dynamic text option.

Alert for BPM Transformation Step

Hi I am trying to think of a way to get the information from my alert transformation step into my Alert Message.
The scenario is a multiline container called XML_Collect mapping to XML_Output a single container with the XML messages merged.
If I encounter an error with mapping, currently I am raising an Alert with Process <Process ID> and Long Text Transformation Failure.
I have the Transform step in a Block and an exception branch for the Alert. I am going to instigate a Container Operation step to fill my Container variables with information about the error.
In the BPM Workflow Log I can see the Transformation1 Container Instance with variables such a MAPPING and MESSAGES_IN and _EXCEPTIONS in it.
Can I reference this container in my Container Operation.
Ideally I would like to know which XML message from the multiline container generated the mapping error. This would help in correcting.
I have read some information on a UDF calling Alerts but I am not sure if this is the method to use.
thanks,

It is MESSAGES_IN
We have

Raise Alerts for BPM errors

Hi Experts,
I have a BPM, from which need to raise Alerts for Mapping error.
is it possible to raise alerts using Alert rule and with out throwing alerts from BPM.
Thank you,
MK

Hi MK
The SAP Computing Center Management System (CCMS) provides a special alert monitor for SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
You use this alert monitor to monitor the ABAP and Java components (including the Business Process Engine) of your Exchange Infrastructure centrally, and to identify different categories of system errors and application errors in the various interfaces and interface namespaces of the components involved.
You use the alert configuration to have the system inform you of errors during message processing. You can receive the alert by e-mail, fax, or SMS. In each case you will also find the alert in your alert inbox.
To configure your alerts, proceed as follows:
● Create the alert categories that you want to use in your alert rules.
● Create the alert rules in which you want to use your alert categories.
● You can configure a connection to CCMS and schedule the periodic transfer of alerts to CCMS.
Once you have configured the connection to CCMS, choose Show CCMS Connection, select a period, and start the periodic transfer.
A background job is scheduled that collects all unprocessed alerts and forwards the data to CCMS. You can also stop this job.
As soon as a particular threshold value is reached, or is exceeded alerts are triggered and The transferred data is displayed in a special CCMS monitor.
You can raise alerts through BPM also .you can design your BPM in such a way that if an exception occurs, the exception handler for it has a control step in which youu can throw alert specifying the alert category and the text.
For more information on alert configuration and CCMS you can refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/90/4e313f8815d036e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

To configure alert for BPM scenario.

Hi Experts
I have one BPM scenario(Asyn-Syn-Asy).
I have created one alert category for this and defined 3 alert rules:
first rule from SAP to BPM
second from BPM to 3rd party which is synchronous
and third from BPM to SAP.
But when i create faulty message by mapping error, alert is not triggered.
Can anyone tell me where I m going wrong??
And what additional configuration is required to trigger alert??
Thanks

Hi Danish,
Control Step is required to capture exceptions. If there is any error in main branch then Integration Process looks for alternate branch to execute which in this case should be Control step.
This control step will throw alert which should already be defined in Alert Category of IR.
Steps -
1. Drag a BLOCK from tools pellete and assign to your main flow. Now this block will be having 2 branches.
One branch will contain main flow and other will contain control step.
2. Right Click on Block and Insert -> Exception Branch
3. Drag and Drop CONTROL inside exception branch
Now you can configure Alert as in above mentioned my EL Netweaver blog post.

XI Alerts not working for BPM

We have been live with alert framework for some time, but we recently noticed we are not getting alerts when mapping fails within a BPM.
All other errors are being alerted to us properly. Is there something we need to configure differently for BPM?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi,
Did you trigger alert from BPM ? Check the Alert sending step in the BPM.
This SAP note on ALert Trougbleshooting may help u-913858
Alerts triggered from BPM e.g- /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated
In the BPM, u can configure the Exception Branch for the Mapping. Whenever mapping exception occurs, you can trigger an alert

Add 2 container variables in control step BPM

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I need to add 2 container variables in control step under AlertMessage and I am using under exception branch
Control Step
StepName: XXXX
Action : XXXX
AlertCategory: XXXX
AlertMessage: ?
I am successful putting one container variable in alert message with &AAAA& but I want to add another variable values &BBBB& as well.
When I tried to keep variables as &AAAA& and &BBBB&..I can return code 99 in sxi_cache.
How can I achieve this with BPM..I am using sap pi 7.0

may be i need to explain more clearly..
I have 2 container variables with simple type which holds 2 different payload values.
Under exception branch I have a control step to throw alert. In this I need to pass alert messages with these 2 varaibles.
As I said earlier I am able to pass successfully one container variable value but when I insert the second variable it is not picking up and when I check sxi_cache the IP return was 99 which means some error occured while assiging these values.( I tried in different ways)
But when I inserted has &AAAA& and &BBBB& then reuton code was 0 but whn I run scenario it is not populating both values
Can anyone please help me how I can populate 2 variable values in alert message under control step.
