Blogg RFC scenario using BPM - starter kit (more detail on BPM required)

I follow this blog to the letter - because it is the same as my scenario:
/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit
The problem is I have no experience with BPM. I have setup the Integration process as I think it should be but I get an error.
Could one of you experts go through the BPM steps in more detail? Screen shots/details of the properties and containers on each step would be very useful. Thanks.

Hi Lynn!!

  • RFC Scenario using BPM

    I did whatever mentioned in that blog(/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit). Also I do have some experience in BPM.
    After testing I don't see the file inthe outbound directory. So I started analysing from all sides.
    1. First checked the message in my sxi_monitor, it black and white flag showed that the message processed successfully.
    2. I opened the message and saw the message from CENTRAL Client passed to PE ADAPTER Client with tooltip showing "Transfer to Process engine".
    1. First I checked whether my BPM is correct by pressing F7. There is no syntax error.
    2. I checked in sx_cache, the ReturnCode was 0.
    3. In smq2 I saw a message stuck in the PE queue. I double clicked the queue and saw the status text as "Permanent error in BPE inbound processing".  So I kept debugging by pressing F8 and after that the message got disappeared.
    4. I opened the message in sxi_monitor, and after the CENTRAL Client the message passed to PE ADAPTER, which measn the meesage has got transferred to process engine. But i'm not seeing any change in the file.
    5. Also what I      did was use transaction SXMB_MONI and chose process radio button and execute. Located my message but there is no task value which starts with 'WS..' in Process def column.
    Can you please pinpoint where i went wrong and anything else?
    One more thing, everytime i test the new file the file goes and gets stuck in the queue and I have got to follow the item 3 mentioned above.
    Thanks,

    Hi Kishore,  The second block is a synchronous send block in the BPM triggers the call to RFC.  I've done it as per the blog.  There is no transformation step in the BPM.  Anyway I fixed the issue. In the receive block whatever container value I used should be used in the send block also. Earlier I was getting some warning. Now my BPM is clean and it worked.
    Lesson learnt: Ensure there is no warning in the BPM. Thanks again Kishore.
    Thanks,

  • Help SOAP to RFC Scenario using BPM (Synchronous communication)

    Hi,
    I am doing a scenario from SOAP to RFC scenario(Synchronous communication).  Here I am creating a PM Notification in the SAP system through a webservice. 
    I am using three BAPI'S here,
    1. BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE 
    2. BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE
    3. BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
    I am successful in calling the first BAPI from the Web Service.  For this I have not used BPM.  But to commit the transaction(PM notification in this case), I have to execute the other two BAPI's as well.  I have to pass the output of first BAPI to the second BAPI and then execute the 2nd BAPI.  And finally have to execute the 3rd BAPI.     FYI, 3rd BAPI is not dependent on any output.  It has to be executed independently after execution of the first two BAPI's.
    How can I execute this scenario?  Do I have  to use BPM?  If yes please let me know the steps in detail.  I have not done any BPM scenario till now.  So please answer me in detail.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vijay
    p.s. reward points are must

    Hi Vijay,
    Yes, You will indeed need a BPM in this case...
    Based on my understanding of the Scenario u have explained, here are the steps that would be needed.
    1. Receive With the Sync-Async Bridge open.
    2. Transformation Step (Between the source Request and The BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE Request)
    3. Send Synchronous
    4. Fork
    5. In one Branch of the fork - Transformation (Between the BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE Response and API_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE Request)
    6. In the other branch of the fork - Transformation (Between a Dummy Source and the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT Request)
    7. Send Synchronous (to make the 2nd BAPI Call)
    6. Transformation ( BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE Response and the source Response)
    7. Send Asynchronous (to make the 3rd BAPI call)
    8. Send the Source Response and close the Sync-Async Bridge.
    There might be alternative ways also of doing it...
    Also a better design would be to take care of the 2nd and the 3rd BAPI call within the code of the 1st RFC Function Module.

    Abhy Thomas

  • DATA TRANSLATION FROM GAAP TO IFRS USING BFC STARTER KIT

    Dear All,
    1.Does the Starter Pack provide data translation from GAAP to IFRS especially when the underlying GL is a non-SAP GL?
    2.What are the specific u201CAutomated controls, business rules and calculationsu201D that are performed in the starter kit as stated in the presentation?
    3.For banks not using SAP ERP, what combination of SAP solution will you advise that they take and why, if they must beat the January 1, 2012 deadline.
    4. Where SAP GL is in place, what relevance will the IFRS Starter pack provide?
    5. Can't I just build a universe in BOBJ to do the data translation from GAAP to IFRS and display the report in the IFRS format?
    Thanks for your advice

    Hi and sorry for the late answer.
    You may find answers to your questions in the paper about "IFRS adoption in consolidated statements with BOFC".[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/30effe30-6c44-2d10-c48a-fb26102b0bf6]
    Be aware that BOFC is a consolidation product, it doesn't cover the same areas as the GL.

  • Using IFRS Starter kit to build a quick POC for Client

    Hello Friends,
    As IFRS starter kit comes with a packaged solution, I was planning to use the same to build a quick POC for the client. However, I am seeing issues with basic functions like Data Loads. I updated the Dimensions members with the client specific data. I am getting error mainly with the Interco dimension. For some reason, when I tried to process this dimension, it kept waiting for server response indefinitely. I see this problem only with this dimension. In this context, I have the following questions:
    1. Can the starter kit be used with custom data?
    2. If so, is there any better way to overcome these issues?
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    Ven

    Hi,
    The kit can be definitely be used with customer data. The functionality doesnt depend on what data you have. Rather, it depends on how the configuration has been done. There is definitely something wrong in the IntCo dimension, because of which it might be getting stuck. I believe its just getting stuck. Can you try to maintain only few members in the dimension and then try again? Are you able to process all the other dimensions?

  • RFC Scenario using BPM -- Starter Kit

    Krishna,
      I awarded points for my last line of questioning for 2 reasons.
    1) I think you're right about the Pipline URL
    2) I appreciate your help
      Where can I find my pipline URL?
    I looked in the profile directory and found one of the files with: icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=80$$.
    That's telling me 8000.... right?
      Also... which ICF server will I probably have to restart?
    Doug -

    Hi,
    Yeah..profile looks fine. After changing pipeline url, did you test the scenario?
    If not check it once.
    Regd. http service, you have checked correct one..anyway for this you can refer this configuration guide- section 8.1 if required- to know more

    Anyway first test it , hope it works.

  • MessageExpiredException error in JDBC - RFC scenario using BPM.

    <b>Scenario:</b> JDBC( Asynch)- RFC( Synch)- JDBC (Asyc)
          We are using XI to read oracle table records to insert the records in R/3 and after the insert in R/3 we return a sap code to update in oracle db.
    When we try to process 10 or less rows from db, the process is successfully running, but when we try processing more records we are getting the following error. We tried increase the timeout setting in RFC adapter as per the SAP note and forum. 
    <u>Detailed error: </u>
    <b>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.MessageExpiredException: Message 443jdjsd-e432-2ec8-e100-000046eb2e5f(INBOUND) expired.</b>
    If I use correlation in asynchronous RFC instead of synchronous RFC, will this solve the problem or is there any better solution for this ?
    Any useful steps to change the synchronous RFC to asynchronous RFC in BPM would be great.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi,
    <i>1. Any suggestions to meet this requirement in XI ?</i>
    >>>One option is using ABAP Proxy . Instead of calling Sync. RFC, call synchronous Proxy. So your client proxy, should receive all 200-300 rows at a time, and inside the proxy, and call the RFC. Once all the reocrds are processed, send the response back to BPM
    You can try out this.
    I think, probably you may require to do looping for each Row.i.e For each row the call the RFC.. As of now try to go with Proxy.
    Also try to findout, why the RFC is taking that much of time.. So check for the provision of  tuning in the RFC side..
    Hope this helps,
    regards,

  • File to RFC Scenario using BPM

    Hi,
    Scenario:We have to post data 1 by 1 to SAP and also handle errors
    The file will be picked by the sender file adapter and given to bpm,bpm (uses message splitting) posts the data one by one to the sap r/3 system using receiver rfc adapter.
    errors could be due to connectivity..in this case we need to send alerts to users uing alert framework.
    good blogs or docs or ppt/pdf explaining a similar kind of scenario, will be highly helpful.
    thanks,

  • RFC Scenario using BPM -- Performance

    Greetings,
      I've implemented a File->XI->RFC->XI->File scenario.
    I use a BPM which transforms the lines of my inbound file into multiple sales orders & line items, then loops through them in a ForEach block to call an RFC and then output the RFC's return structure to a file.
      It takes about an hour for a thousand sales orders to go through & get created.
    That really doesn't sound so bad to me except for the fact that there is a good probability that I will occasionally be receiving files containing up to 10,000 sales orders.
      Could anyone with experience with this type of XI processing please suggest any performance enhancements that have provided results.
    Thanks,
      Doug -

    Hi Doug,
    For effectively using BPM, plz have a look at this checklist
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3bf550d4-0201-0010-b2ae-8569d193124e

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/d92e428819da2ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    1 Mapping inside a BPM could affect performance. If u have transformation step in ur Integration Process, then try to perform this mapping outside BPM. It will greatly improve the performance if mapping is complex.
    2. Reduce Tracing - parameter: LOGGING in SXMB_ADM
    Have a look here
    SAP note 857530
    And monitoring all these is always required

  • File-To-RFC without using BPM

    hey guys
    is a File-To-RFC scenario possible without using BPM? i have gone through the blog by Arpit Seth ( /people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit ) but it uses BPM.
    i am new to XI and not very comfortable with BPM.
    please let me know if BPM is the only way out or are there some other methods too.
    Also under what circumstances one should use BPM?
    thanx in advance.
    aamir suhail

    Hi,
    it's a standard non BPM scenario
    (you can find many weblogs like this)
    the only different thing is the RFC signature import
    (inside repository)
    and the use of different channels (file and RFC)
    you can find many examples in my XI FAQ
    (document section)

  • Step by step File to RFC Scenario with BPM

    hi
    for the following scenario i m following the webblog
    /people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit
    i have successfully created the design phase
    in the configuration stage
    i need to create a business system or business service will do to create the communication channel
    i have not created the systems so i feel i should not create the business systems
    i would like to create the business service
    so in only one business service can i assign all the communication channel
    useful answers will be rewarded
    Regards
    JM

    There are 3 parts of communication: Sender service to Integration Process (Asynch.), Integration Process to RFC (Synch.), Integration Process to Receiver Service (Asynch.)
    The configurations should be like as follows:
    <b>Sender Service to IP</b>
    Receiver determination:
    Sender Service->Request Outbound Message Interface->Integration Processs.
    Interface Determination:
    Sender Service->request Outbound Message Interface->Integration Process->Request Outbound Abstract Interface. (No interface Mapping is required as the interfaces share the same structure.)
    Sender Agreement:
    Sender Service->request Outbound Message Interface->Integration Process->Request Outbound Abstract Interface>FileRFC_Send
    <b>IP to RFC</b>
    Receiver determination:
    Integration Process->Request Outbound Abstract Interface->Business service.
    Interface Determination:
    Integration Process->Request Outbound Abstract Interface->Business service->RFC Structure->Corresponding Interface Mapping between file structure and RFC structure.
    Receiver Agreement:
    Integration Process->Request Outbound Abstract Interface->Business service->RFC_Receiver
    <b>IP to Receiver Service:</b>
    Receiver determination:
    Integration Process->Response Inbound Abstract Interface->Business service.
    Interface Determination:
    Integration Process->Response Inbound Abstract Interface->Business service->Response Inbound Message Interface. (No interface Mapping is required as the interfaces share the same structure)

    Hi Naveen,
    File system will not support Application Acknowledgements. It will support only System Acknowledgements. So inorder to handle this we need to have a BPM.
