BPM Control step issue

All,
We have had a BPM scenario that was working in the XI3.0 and we exported and imported the same into another environment PI7.0
In the new environment - there is a control step that raises time out after 2 minutes, that doesnt seem to happen. The infinite loop goes on for ever and we have to delete the workflow manually.
The BPM is very similar to the standard collect pattern based on time.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi RK,
I think you need a special background job running to handle the dedlines. Please check with the XI Basis guys to see if this job is running or not.
To my knowledge, the program RSWWDHEX should be scheduled in a job for any of the BPM deadline to trigger.
Hope this helps,
Sumant.

  • 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)......
    <b>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.</b>
    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.

  • Problem with the control step in a BPM

    Hi All
    My BPM is :
    There is a block , the first step is a Receive,  the second is a  Send(synchronus) step after there is a switch step. Depending on the result of Send step the switch step  goes to an other send step or it goes to a control step and  throws Exception .
    Checking the  BPM  a warning message occurs  , it says "Exception APError will not be caugnt" as APError is the exception defined in the Block .
    Running the BPM , the control step does not work
    Does anyone has an idea what is the problem ?
    Thanks
    Antonis

    Just defining the exception in the block step is not enough.
    You also have to "catch" it in an exception branch.
    That message usually occurs when the Block does not have any Exception Branch associated to that exception.
    Make sure you have at least one exception branch in your block step and that it is associated to the APError exception.

  • 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 <b>i could not define anything</b> 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

  • 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?
    BR
    Kalle

    Is it possible for me to use the Control Step in a BPM to trigger a indication of a error in sxmb_moni?
    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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • BPM Exception Handling control step

    Hi,
    Does anybody have any idea, whats the variable we need to pass in the control step of exception handling  in BPM? and how to map the error message back to the RFC Response.
    I had Transformation step, in that mapping is also there.
    Is there any ideas??.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    The requirement was to send the exception that occured to a target (say file).
    <i>insert a block for the exception</i>
    You cannot place an exception step without a block right... thats what i mean by the above statement.
    Now, just after the exception has taken place, if i put a transformation step, and a send step, you will be taking care of sending the exception message to the target.
    <i>how to build the exception message ? It should map from what?</i>
    You could build a data type for the exception.
    In the mapping, you could map it to constants. For ex:
    if you build your DT as
    <excep>
    <code/>
    <desc/>
    </excep>
    You could map the description to a constant string "timeout".
    After this, the send step will send the message to the file, through the abstract interface that you create.

    Smitha.

  • Timeout in control step(raise exception) of BPM

    All,
    Does timeout in the above control step means
    > The typical inactive timeout i.e. while using collecttime pattern, if IDOCS keep coming, the process is going to be active until the point there are no more IDOCs coming and then the exception time window starts kicking in (inactive)
    OR
    > No matter what, the system simply shuts of the inbound channel when the time expires i.e. even if IDOCS are continously flowing and a timeout=1 min is set, the BPM instance will unceremoniously shutdown the instance?
    If #2 is true, I am sure this is load dependent (a 1 min timeout my as well become 2-3 mins correct??)
    Thanks - this is not very clear anywhere
    m

    Im supposing here your scenario is multiple IDOCs to 1 receiver, is that so? For example, n IDOCs to file.
    So, suppose you define, in BPM, the max number of loops (as per CollectPattern example) and also you define a deadline in surrounding Block step. After the block, you have relevant steps (for example, transformation step to execute mapping to file expected structure; and async send step, to send the message to file receiver).
    While an instance is running, it will be receiving IDOCs which satisfy the correlation you set in BPM. As soon as max number or deadline is reached, the IDOCs in that instance will be mapped into a file and that file will be sent to receiver system.
    Whenever new IDOCs arrive, they will be gathered in another BPM instance, and hence they will be sent in another file to receiver system.
    Hope I made myself clear this time.

    Henrique.

  • Handling Java Mapping Exception in BPM Transformation step

    Dear SDN members,
    I have developed a File to File scenario using BPM as follows.
    Step 1:
    Sender file adapter picks the file from FTP server and using file content conversion mapped to XML structure.
    Step 2:
    BPM will recieve the XML payload , immediately in the block a transformation step is called with an interface mapping. In the interface mapping a Java mapping will be executed with certain data validations on the XML payload. If found any invalid data is there a suitable excptions will be raised . Here the transformation step should be catch the error and control should be sent to exception block to place the recived file as a error file.
    else if the transformation is executed with out any issues, the file will be placed in success folder.
    But in the transformation step, though java mapping thorwing exceptions, the control not going into exception block, instead it is continuing to next step i.e the file is placing in the success folder.
    Can anybody tell me, how to handle the exceptions raised in java mapping in the BPM transformation step?
    I have refered all the SDN blogs, forums related to this issue, but could not able to find the answer. Please help me?
    Thanks & Regards
    Vijayanand Poreddy

    Hi Abhishek,
    Once the file is picked from FTP server then sent to BPM,
    the BPM steps
    Step1:
    -->Recive
    Step 2:
    Block Starts
       ---Block Start: New Transaction
       ---Block End : New Transaction
       ---Exception : Error
    Step 3 
    Inside the Block
    Transformation Step
       --Interface Mapping: <IM Name>
       -- Check box ticked for Create New Transcation
       -- Exceptions
          --System Error: Error
       --Source Message: Message recieved in Recieve Step (Step 1)
    Step 4:
      --Send
      --Source Maessage: Output message from the Transformation Step
    Block End
    Inserted a Exception Branch for Block
    Steps inside Exception Branch
      -Control
        --Throw Alert
       --Alert Name
    In the above scenario
    The transformation step is not throwing error even my interface mapping going to error. The same transformation step if i place outside the block next to recieve step, then the transformation step is throwing error and BPM stops the process.
    Also, when transformation is inside the block, i have used the exception handling on the send step inside the block. here it is throwing error as the source message payload is empty. because in the preceding transformation step the interface mapping is failed due to which there the target will not be filled. But even though it is not entered into exception block.

  • Regarding Control Step

    HI friends,
    Can we send some user friendly messages using control step (throw alert ) mechanism.
    E.g I have to process 1000 records then in the sending step of BPM if i have to insert some text message to Moni then can i use control step so that after every message is sent i get some message at the moni .
    Is there any other better way to do it.
    Regards

    If you have mapping in your scenario, it'd be simpler if you just inputed some trace into AbstractTrace object (using .addInfo(String message) method).

  • Control record issue !

    Hi All,
    I am handling UK Payroll and got an issues related to payroll run and control record,
    Issue 1: The payroll driver (RPCALCG0) has skipped around 1500 Employees against payroll run for particular period
    Issue 2: How control record allowed user to Exit control record for period in which EE's skipped in payroll
    Please provide your valuable suggesting in regard to resolve the above two issues,
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Issue 1: The payroll driver (RPCALCG0) has skipped around 1500 Employees against payroll run for particular period
    Say you want to run payroll for FEB..
    But payroll control record may not be in FEB... It may be in March..
    Issue 2: How control record allowed user to Exit control record for period in which EE's skipped in payroll
    Payroll control record may have been deleted on the month of Jan..& been set in Release mode in March month directly...
    So feb month gets skipped & Exit mode in Feb is skipped too...
    For detailed info.. Go to PA03 enter payroll ares & click display option..
    Under Go To tab.. look for Control Record Log..
