BPM Impementation Question

I have a scenario where I want to do the following:
Receive a Sync interface
Split this into multiple different other sync interfaces to be sent to different receivers
map responses of these sync steps back to the original sync message but the response side of it.
I initially had the idea of
Receive: Sync Interface
Transform: Split to multiple sync intefaces
Sync send steps for each sync message which has been split
Transform: Reponses from previous sync send step into response for original sync message
Send: Response message back to original sync sender
Now I think there may be an issue here... Namely the fact that the receive mode can only be Async or Opens S/A Bridge.
I have tried with the Opens S/A Bridge but either I have configured something wrong or this is not the way to complete this scenario.
Could someone shed some light and let me know how this should be implemented or tell me that what I am doing is right and I then need to go back try to solve the issue with what I have done already

I did but it is the same as described in my last thread
XBQO$PE_WS90100002 1 SYSFAIL and the error is
Permanent error in BPE inbound processing
With regards to the MONI the error occurs at the call adapter stage and I have the following trace:

BPM performance question

Guys,
I do understand that ccPBM is very resource hungry but what I was wondering is this:
Once you use BPM, does an extra step decreases the performance significantly? Or does it just need slightly more resources?
More specifically we have quite complex mapping in 2 BPM steps. Combining them would make the mapping less clear but would it worth doing so from the performance point of view?
Your opinion is appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Viktor Varga

Hi,
In SXMB_ADM you can set the time out higher for the sync processing.
Go to Integration Processing in SXMB_ADM and add parameter SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_ASYNC_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT to 120 (seconds). You can also increase the number of parallel processes if you have more waiting now. SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_MAX_SYNC_CALLS from 20 to XX. All depends on your hardware but this helped me from the standard 60 seconds to go to may be 70 in some cases.
Make sure that your calling system does not have a timeout below that you set in XI otherwise yours will go on and finish and your partner may end up sending it twice
when you go for BPM the whole workflow
has to come into action so for example
when your mapping last < 1 sec without bpm
if you do it in a BPM the transformation step
can last 2 seconds + one second mapping...
(that's just an example)
so the workflow gives you many design possibilities
(brigde, error handling) but it can
slow down the process and if you have
thousands of messages the preformance
can be much worse than having the same without BPM

File Adapter Acknowledgement in BPM - NEW Question

This is in cntinuation of my earlier question:
File Adapter Acknowledgement in BPM
Now I understand that the send step should wait to get the acknowledgement from file adapter.
As I understand This ack may be +ve or -ve.
<b>So my question is how do we test for + ve acknowledgement in the next step / switch?</b>
Thanks,
HImadri

hi,
in condition editor of this switch step you need to choose technical objects
and check it they = true
for sender apps
you can also use Main/MessageClass field
have a look at the bottom of this page to
check their values:

BPM certification questions

Hi friends,
I taking up XI Certification this week.
Could anyone pls send me sample questions in BPM and other areas or XI.
I am reading thru the certification material. If you can advice me tricks in exam it would be wonderful.

Jeff

Hi,
BPM part is extremaly easy. Certification materials are enough. Just read about general concepts and all blocks.

BPM Scenario question

Hi
i created a bpm scenario according to the blog "RFC Scenario using BPM --Starter Kit" by Arpit Seth. I get the file into XI successfully, but after this first step nothing else happens. In the SXMB_MONI i have only one successful message that read my file.
How can i debug the reason of this problem?
thx in advance
Michael

i haven't a SXMB_MONI_BPM. But i checked SXMB_MONI again and found 2 error messages from BPM belonging to the resend tests from the PE trace.
The Response message contains following error:
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: failed to parse BAPI response due to: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.util.bapi.BapiException: Parameter with name RETURN not found.</SAP:AdditionalText>
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
Is this a BAPI problem?

File-XI-File BPM Split Question

Iam using BPM to split the 1 file into 2 files. I have to use BPM due to requirement.
Iam sending file to BPM
In BPM:
receive step
transform Step - Here message split is performed
Fork Start
Send Message 1
Send Message 2
Fork End ( end condition is 1=1 )
Stop.
Only 1 file is written and 2nd file no information
When I looked at SXMB_MONI_BPE
Send1 Workflow system logically deleted
Send2 Workflow system completed
I dont know whats happening for Send 1
Where can I look for potential errors ?
In the request message mapping of SXMB_MONI ( 2 payloads are as follows )
1st Payload ( Maindocument ( Application/xml))
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Anyone have any suggestion for me how to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot.

Ram,
Since Iam going to add more process steps ( such as synchronous calls) i really wanted to finsih the sending of both SEND steps in the FORK. If I dont give end condition, am I sure that those SENDS are processed before next process step following fork ?
BPM will come out of FORK only when all steps in all branches are executed succesfully.
If you give an END condition to the fork, then this is used when you are not sure for how long the steps in the fork should run, and so on.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/24/e2283f2bbad036e10000000a114084/content.htm
+You use a fork () when you want to continue a process in branches that are independent of each other, for example, to communicate with two systems that are independent of each other. The branches of the fork join in a union operator.
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. Furthermore, you can define an end condition for the fork (see also: Condition Editor).
As soon as a branch reaches the union operator at runtime, the system checks the following conditions in the specified order:
· The process has run through the required number of branches
· The specified end condition has returned true
The step is complete as soon as one of the conditions returns true.+
Earlier when you gave condition as 1=1 one of the steps was executed and it came out of the fork. So, do no give any condition and it will execute all steps in the FORK and come out as you want.

Bhavesh

B2B Addon - BPM Scenario Question

We have SAP PO 7.4 single stack working on B2B Scenarios. We will be using AS2 Adapter to send and receive ANSI X12 messages like POs inbound, Order acks Outbound, PO changes inbound etc. We installed B2B Add on ESR Content and has some sample scenarios in B2B Mapping Kit.
Scenario 1: When order received from Customer (850) we need to send Functional Acks ( Both Positive and Negative ) based on the status of success / failure of IDOC Posting. How do we achive this scenario without BPM. What is SAP recommended solution ( RDS approach) for this scenario considering its ANSI X12 850 to IDOC Orders scenario. I'm thinking of using exit in IDOC Posting fucntional module to trigger Proxy to PI which wil lbe sent to Customer after Mapping.
Along with Funtional ack ECC should send ORDRSP IDOC to PI to ANSI X12 855 as well.
Scenario 2: in another scenario, If send Order 850 to Vendor wil lthey typically send 855 as a response ? Since Its Orders IDOC outbound, how to make this as synchronous to receive 855 and update ECC with ORDRSP IDOC without BPM?
I would like to develope these scenarios avoiding BPM if possible. Since we are not implementing RDS solution, we will be developing mapping inhouse. what is the SAP standard recommended approach if you used RDS ?
Thank you

Hello,
If I am not wrong you are talking about below scenarios
These scenarios need not wait for each other( independent of each other)
In case of outbound EDI interfaces, EDI 997 (if partner is capable of sending one) will be helpful in updating the status of the Outbound IDoc.
In Inbound EDI scenarios, 997 is generated at adapter level as s0on as message reaches PI successfully, 997 is sent back to partners if requested.
To understand more on acknowledgements please have a look at below blog
Functional Acknowledgement (Inbound and Outbound FA 997)- for Beginners
(P.S.- ACK 855 is an interface on its own (needs mapping from EDI to SAP (Idoc, rfc, file..))

Pooja

BPM design question

Hello folks,
I have this requirement and I have designed a BPM for the same, I would appreciate if you could give me any improvements/suggestions:
Req: Receive a message from Sender A the message has a transaction ID associated to it, Send the message to Receiver B and from then on wait an Hour to receive an acknowledge from Receiver B for that transaction. if no ack is received then shoot a mail to the users saying that the transaction didn't make it through. If success don't do anything, Just end the process.
Design:
1. Recv step (to receive the message/ start the BPM)
2. Send Step (to reciever B to send the message )
3. Block --- Block has the following a. Receive step (to receive the ACK from Receiver B) b. Deadline Branch (with a wait time of 1 hour) Inside the Deadline branch there is a Send Step to send Email followed by a Control step to end the process.
Thank you! I would appreciate a betterment in design

In my opinion, this is not a very good design. Keeping open a BPM instance for 1 hour is not recommended. In case you have hundreds or thousands of such messages coming in, it would badly hit the performance.
You haven't mentioned which kind of system is your receiver system. You may think about the following parameters:
1. What is taking so much time to send the ack?
2. Could this ack be sent later as an async interface?

Activity Guide 11.1.1.4 & BPM Workspace Question?

Hi
Anybody have a simple document or demo on the Activuty Guide.
Also does it need Process Spaces or can it be shown with BPM Workspace.
Regards
Craig

I would expect more support in BPM Workspace for activity guide in a later ps/feature pack.
For now i think only api is available.

BPM collection question

Hi all,
In BPM collection scenario
Is there any way to capture all the messages ids(inside BPM) which are being sent to that BPM?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Ivá

Hello Ivan!
Yes. You might specify a WHILE or UNTIL loop inside a block of your BPM process. For example, create a FORK and then create on one path a Receiver Step waiting for a "STOP" message, and in the other fork path create an infinite WHILE step with another Receiver Step to gather the incoming messages (and appending them to a Message List container). Or you can just set a WHILE or UNTIL with a limited amount of messages, without the Fork.
Please check the Help page below for more information about this.

BPM Transformation Question

Hi all,
i have a BPM where i have 2 subsequent Transformation Steps within one block with the following properties
Step1:
SourceMessage = aaa
TargetMessage = zzz
Step2:
SourceMessage = bbb
TargetMessage = zzz
As i have the same target message in both steps, will the content set after the first transformation still be set after performing the second transformation ?
Best regards,
martin

Hi,
guess you have to do it in one transformation step like in this pattern:

BPM starting question

Hi all,
I have developed a BPM which basically reads 2 files (INVOICES and BILLING) makes some transformation and send it to a SAP R/3 system.
Both files have a data field which it is used to correlate them.
So when sender system send INVOICES file or BILLING file, SAP XI read it, begin the BPM which waits for the other to come. When the other file come the BPM continue in their next steps.
But we have experienced the next situation:
- Sender systems send 2 INVOICES files (duplicate files) and some time later send a BILLING file (only one).
The process:
1.- SAP XI reads the first INVOICE file and starts a BPM process.
2.- SAP XI reads the other INVOICE file and starts another BPM process.
3.- SAP XI reads the BILLING file and enroute it to the 2 BPM process
Is there any configuration in my BPM or configuration scenario which doesn`t allow this situation. I only want one BPM for one pair of files.
Thanks.

Thanks for your comments Udo.
I need the correlation because there are days in which I receive several invoices and billing files (specially the first days of the month due to the bussiness process in sender system).
But the source of the problem is on the sender system. Some times the generation of the files is done manually, and there are situations in which operator makes mistakes and generate multiple files for one day.
The onwer of receiver systems wants that SAP PI can control this kind of situations. One situation is what I have described before: the BPM collecting pattern should work with two files.
The normal behaviour is:
INVOICE1 --> BPM (instance #1)
BILLING1 --> BPM (instance #1)
INVOICE2 --> BPM (instance #2)
BILLING2 --> BPM (instance #2)
INVOICE3 --> BPM (instance #3)
BILLING3 --> BPM (instance #3)
INVOICE4 --> BPM (instance #4)
BILLING4 --> BPM (instance #4)
But my situation is:
INVOICE1 --> BPM (instance #1)
INVOICE1 --> BPM (instance #2)
BILLING1 --> BPM (instance #1) BPM (instance #2)

Simple BPM correlation question

Hi!
My correlaiton is activated with the following correlation key and value:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<CorrelationKey Version="001">
<AGENCYID>00000110</AGENCYID>
<ITEMNUMBER>01</ITEMNUMBER>
<ORDERNUMBER>00000035</ORDERNUMBER>
</CorrelationKey>
But the response message is like this:
<AgencyID>00000110</AgencyID>
<OrderNumber>00000035</OrderNumber>
<ItemNumber>0001</ItemNumber>
As you can see the ItemNumbers are differs from each other with the leading zeros.
My correlation is waiting and waiting .
this can be the reason for the waiting?
If I duoble click on 'PE' in the message in sxmb_moni the Event Queue Browser stars and there is an row:
ZXI_PROXY_FLIGHTBOOKINGOR_0002 RECEIVED 97D39D48F3D0D56EE1000000C0A80804 CORRELATION_MANAGER Waiting because of e
I read all the thread related to the error "Waiting because of e", but it did not help me.
Please help.

Hi!
Yes it is can be a problem. Thanks for every one. This error was occured with the standard Demo examples. I thought that an demo example should work correctly, but it is not.
I send the changed message (with itemnumber 0001) with a http client and everything is all right now.
Thanks

BPM: error at exactly 2500 messages after message split: no coincidence?

Hi everybody,
we poll a message, split it in BPm and than call a WebService.
We got an error exactly after 2500 messages were processed successful.
Is there a special parameter which influences the BPM?
Thanks a lot
Regards Mario

Hi,
In SXMB_ADM you can set the time out higher for the sync processing.
Go to Integration Processing in SXMB_ADM and add parameter SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_ASYNC_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT to 120 (seconds). You can also increase the number of parallel processes if you have more waiting now. SA_COMM CHECK_FOR_MAX_SYNC_CALLS from 20 to XX. All depends on your hardware but this helped me from the standard 60 seconds to go to may be 70 in some cases.
Make sure that your calling system does not have a timeout below that you set in XI otherwise yours will go on and finish and your partner may end up sending it twice
when you go for BPM the whole workflow
has to come into action so for example
when your mapping last < 1 sec without bpm
if you do it in a BPM the transformation step
can last 2 seconds + one second mapping...
(that's just an example)
so the workflow gives you many design possibilities
(brigde, error handling) but it can
slow down the process and if you have
thousands of messages the preformance
can be much worse than having the same without BPM
