Go to Assigning Values
At runtime, you can assign a value to a container element, for example to increase a counter or to append a message to a list of messages.

How to Initialize Container Element in BPM..No Payload found

Hi All,
How do we initialize a container element in BPM if that container element is a message Interface.
I am doing exception handling in BPM, so whenever a exception occurs i need to send a mail.
So in the exception box i have a transformation step and a send step.
In the transformation step what will be my source message?
How do i initialize that source message?
What i have done right now is created a dummy interface(abs) for source and then mapped with the target abs interface.
When i execute the schenario,in the monitor i find in the Transformation step the following error
No payload found.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi Pinto,
I too agreee. Lemme try to explain witha example.
In my first transformation, MI_MAIL_TEMP_ABS is there along with 3 other interfaces. Each one is getting mapped i can see that in monitoring.
Now in the exception branch in transformation step,
i am mapping MI_MAIL_TEMP_ABS to MI_MAIL_ABS.
Now in the send step im giving MI_MAIL_ABS as the interface name.
Do you see anything wrong with this?
>>>>>>>Did you try to do outbound interface -> inbound interface mapping in the exception branch? Just to try to make your scenario work. Then you can investigate further on why the abs message is not being carried away.
Which outbound interface & inbound are you talking about?

Sumit

Starnge problem while creating container elements in BPM

Hi All,
I am trying to create Container element of category Abstract Interface in BPM. While I try to give Type as the abstract interface created, it not populating the my abstract interface and says: No obects found.
Kindly, What could be the reason?
Thx
Navin

Hi,
You can use abstract sync inteface in the async-sync bridge (sender), using the async abstract interfaces as request and response to the sync abstract interface in the BPM sender properties configuration.

Need F4 Help for custom container element based on partner type

Hi Friends
I am displaying customer details in custom container .In that custom container I have a field Partner number,Partner type etc etc..
I included F4 help for partner number field, In that I referenced the following field.Now its coming perfectly.
wa_cat1-f4availabl = 'X'.
wa_cat1-ref_table = 'KNA1'.
wa_cat1-ref_field = 'KUNNR'.
But as per my requirement, customer wants to get the different F4 help when the partner type eq "Contact Person".
Rest of the partner type(Ship to party, Sold to party,Reseller, End user) should show the above one.
So I dont know, where I have to change, because in the field catelod level there is no option to control particular type in the column.
Kindly help me on this.
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi Jose
Thanks for your Input.I created Event Receiver than Defined and implemented a method to get F4 help for customer number and email id field.Already F4 help is available for Email ID.Now I want to Include the F4 help for partner number field, it will call the search help based on partner type.I can able to get the partner number field search help, but F4 help is not working for email id.
I am not sure some whee its over writing some values or I am not sure.If I comment partner number F4 help class, I can able to get the F4 help for email address.
Plz guide to me to fix the same.
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Two Container elements having same message interface

Hi,
We have two container elements in BPM having the same message interface assigned to it.
For example imagine they are
1. CO_split
2. CO_single
Now, there is a transformation step, which fills the container element CO_split & its associated message interface.
In the send step immediately after the transformation step, we have used CO_single. Remember, that the associated message interface for the container CO_single is the same as that for CO_split. The container element CO_single, is used for the first time in the entire BPM.
My question is whether the send step would be executed with an empty payload since the container is used for the first time or will there be a valid payload in the send step, since the associated message interface is already filled.
I have another question too. That is, if the container element in the send step is empty, will the send step be executed at all?
Kindly help.
Thanks,
John

Same message interface does not matter. The send step container would remain empty. In this case send step won't be executed.

BPM - An empty container element was specified when sending

Hello Experts,
My BPM process looks as below:
Receive -> Loop (execute if the status of IDoc is ERROR(E))--> Mapping ---> End Loop --> Send
The message is failing in BPM workflow with the log: An empty container element was specified when sending
Container for receive and send stepe are different. IP in SXI_CACHE has process code 0.
Mapping program is defined between the abstarct msg type of receive step and abstract msg type of Send step.
Th message being processed has initial status as ERROR and after the mapping step is exceuted, it retrieves teh current status i.e SUCCESS. This ends the loop step and while tying to send the messgae to target system, this error occurs.
Pls advice if I am missing anything.
Thanks,
Elizabeth.

BPM: How to return the total number of lines in Multiline Container Element

Hi all:
I am trying to follow the following blog to do message splitting:
/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi
In the blog, total number of messages for Message1 was returned to Count in Message 2.
If I do not want to create message 2, if there any way to return total number lines in multiline elements ? Because this number need to be used to specify in loop condition:
While Indxe != TotalNumberOfLines
Thanks
Liang

Hi, Matias:
For the loop block option, your answer is passing message count in different message type is best option !
I really do not know why SAP does not deliver a build-in function to return the number of items in multiline element at run time ?
Now the question for the second option: ForEach block:
When I leave current line of block properties empty, the compile does not pass
I have to input a another element (Var_Cur) in current line
Inside my block, I have one send step, it will send Var_Dest[Index], followed by a container operation step to increment Index by 1.
With above setup, I compile it, compile passed, but it says:
"Container Element Var_Cur in Step Block1 is initialized but not used"
then I added another containter operation step in block:
Var_Cur = Var_Dest[Index]
I modified send step to send Var_Cur rather than Var_Dest.
Up to now, I can compile it without any warnings.
But when I send message to IE, the message pass pipe line, but it seems does not pass the BPE.
When I go to SXI_CACHE, to check the return code for my Integration process is 0, means no error.
But my message does not reach my target system.
Where do you think I made wrong ?
Thanks
Liang

BPM error:Container element in step transformation is not initialized

Hello Experts,
I am new to the concept of BPM.
I'm trying to create an integration process in which I'm taking an Idoc and processing it in many ways. The process contains many transformation steps. There two such transformation steps which have been placed in block step in a fork. And i get this error: Container element XXX in step transformation is not initialized
What could be the problem?
Regards,
Akhil

Hi
if u are getting the messaga with red sigh then it means it will craete the error while running the scenario.
but if it is in blue then i think it will not create any error.
the meaning of that statement is that the container u have defind is not used anywhere. it is just giving u a warning message.
Thanks

BPM Alert Container Elements Not Filled

Hi All,
Another problem i am facing when i am raising alert from BPM.
In inbox i see alert message being raised but with no text.
I have also subscribed to email alerts.
In the email the subject is Process 000000008058
and the content is the first alphabet of the AlertMessage container element.
Ex : In BPM my container element is AlertMessage and the message assigned is Error . Then in email message i only get E. where as in alert inbox i get nothing.
ps : im using XI 7.0 SP 9. there are no notes which are applicable for this release.

Rahul

Hi Bhavesh,
>When you select Dynamic text in the Alert category, the Container tab will no longer be available in ALRTCATDEF for your Alet Category.!
the container tab is available but the Long& Short text tab is disabled.
I did not mean that..
What i meant was see next to the Properties tab in Alert Category defination there is a Container tab where we define our own container elements.
Do i need to define the names there..or i can directly use in the BPM?

Rahul

Sync interface as container element, And Sync Rec in BPM

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to implement a scenario with sync RFC to Sync SOAP using BPM.
RFC <- -> BPM <- -> SOAP
How do I implemnt this scenario, cause if I am not mistaken the first receive step in the BPM can only be asynchronous.
Also when I declare container variables in BPM, it lets me choose only from async interface and does not display synch interfaces. So iam only able to create container variables of abstract asynch type.
Please advice.
Regards,
Ashish

Guys here's why I want to use BPM:
I am implementing a scenario wherein:
1) Data is passed from R/3 to xi and then to a web server.
2) From webserver the updated data is sent back to xi.
3) A particular field is boolean checked in XI, if true the data is sent back to webserver.
4) and then again the updated data is sent back to r/3 via xi.
R/3 ---> XI ---> Web Server ---> XI -(If condition true)-> Web Server ---> XI ---> R/3
R/3 ---> XI ---> Web Server ---> XI -(If condition false)-> XI ---> R/3
Start > Receive (Async) > Send (Sync) > Send (Sync. This step only if boolean true) > Send (Async) > Stop.
Also i am using BPM because I am implementing double mapping, i.e Message1>Message2>Message3.
Regards,
Ashish

JSF 2.0: InputText element of type Integer have become pre-filled with '0'

Hello to all!
I have invested a lot of time, but unfortunately without success. I hope intensely that somebody of you can help me!
I have an inputText element of type Integer, which pre-filled my input field with a '0' when I'm loading/starting my form.
When I'm loading my form for the first time I would like to have an empty field and not a field, which is pre-filled with a '0'.
Is this possible?
I have some code:
<h:inputText id="field" value="#{customerBean.field}" converter="javax.faces.Integer" validator="#{validatorBean.validateField}" />
@ManagedBean(name = "customerBean")
public class Customer
 private int field;
 public int getfield()
 return field;
 public void setfield(int field)
 this.field = field;
@ManagedBean(name = "validatorBean")
public class Validator
public void validateField(FacesContext ctx, UIComponent comp, Object inValue) throws ValidatorException
 int value = (Integer) inValue;
 if (!(value >= 0 && value <= 100) && !(value == -9))
 throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage("Illegal entry! Legal values are: '0' to '400', '-9'.", null));
}Thanks for helping!

Hello!
With "private Integer field" it works.
I did not know that for any primitive data type it exists a corresponding object data type.
Now I know. :-)
Thanks for helping.

BPM Container Element and Container in UDF Relation

Hi,
I am creating a BPM with container elements. Can I access this container variable value in a Java based mapping User Defined Function. If so, can you please let me know how can I do that.
Thanks,
-Padmaja

Hi Padmaja,
q1 -Is the target message same in all the cases with different values?
q2 - Also, after this message(with different content based on the where it is created from) is created is sent out or is it used some where further again in the BPM?
i am also assuming you are above SP16..
If the answer is yes to q1 and no to q2, you can achieve this quite easily.....from each of the 3 places(success,failure and deadline)....have a send step each with the source message...in the send step you should have the "ConversationID" field filled with values which distinguishes the place from it is is send....now in the interface determination attach one mapping and in that mapping using a UDF you can access the Conversation ID from mapping variables....and you can manipulate your output message..
I have made lots of assumptions without knowing your scenario..check it out if it helps...
Thanks & Regards,
Renjith

Elements from BPM in alert container. Possible?

Hi!
Is it possible to define container elements in TCODE ALRTCATDEF and fill them with values from a BPM? I have read about this and it seems to be possible when coding an abap application, but can it be done from the BPM at runtime?
Thanks!
regards Pavel

Hi Pavel,
If you are using the fault message's to get the errror details.
It is possible to trigger the alert ...with all the information which inturn is coming in the fault message.
Do an RFC call in the fault message mapping to RFC - SALERT_CREATE.
If not then the easy option

BPM - Viewing Container Elements

I have a small BPM Scenario, in which I receive a message and Transform it and send it to the Receiver. It ran OK.
I am trying to see the content of Container Element!
To do the above taks I did the following
So from MONI I clicked the PE in the INBound, it took me to Workflow Log ,then I clicked one of the Step and it took me to "Display Work Item Screen", in this screen from the Menu Extras --> Container I see one message went in. I clicked that and a window opened below, I right clicked Nested Table --- Messages. But I am unable to see the container Element content
Please help me. Thanks friends.

Hi Karen,
Even screen shot in the document shows SXMB_MONI (Step 8). But the only difference is SXMB_MONI will shows only the input message to your BPM but if you go through the steps mentioned in the document it will show you the selected message only. This will be useful when you have multiple mapping steps in your BPM or multi mappings. Say you have two mappings in your BPM (MAP1, MAP2). If you directly go to SXMB_MONI and double click on a message it will just show you the input to the BPM.
But if you go through the steps specified in the document it will show you input message to map1, output message of map1 and similarly for map2(input/output). All this four messages input/output for map1 and map2 which cannot be seen directly through SXMB_MONI. only through the steps specified you can see all these four messages.
This will make sense when you have multiple mappings or multimappings.
hope this clears your doubt...
Regards
Anand

String type container element truncated in email

Hi Folks
In the email step of the workflow I have used a string type variable ( Notes of approver of ESS workflow ). The variable is populated completely in the container element in workflow log, but in the email body it's getting truncated after about 80 characters. I did apply the note 975947 but it did not help. Appreciate if anyone can let me know the fix for this.
Regards
Rajeev

I Know that EMAIL subject has a limitation upto 80 characters.
so you can do like this, create a internal table with one variable of 132 chanracters.
Pass this variable to that table.
so while inserting the table in email body, you will be asked to choose one of the options.
there you choose an with line break, it will appear in your editor as&it_tab##&.
Then definitely all the contents will be displayed.
