Container Operatrion in BPM

Hi gurus,
>> How to initialize a container variable in container operation that is not used in mapping?
Regards,
Dhayanandh .S

Hi Riyaz,
Thanks for your Response.We use the message of Abstact interface which is a wrapper of four messages.In that the fourth message has a default value which should be assigned to the same target.
But the problem is, it does not allow us to choose the Fourth message at target,eventhough the expression is chosen as default value of fourth message.
Purpose:
With this default value the transformation would validate the condition and send it to send step.
Issue:
As we are unable to load the default value in container operation we are unable to achieve the strategy.

Store Filename in Container Operation of BPM?

Hi,
Is it possible to store filename in Container Operation of BPM step? I know that using mapping and assigning that field to Container Operation can be done.
But, is it possible to do without using payload field assignment?
Regards,
Ashish

That seems to be the only possible way. Bcoz the filename in the dynamic header is lost when the message enters BPM.

Time Variable in Container Operation in BPM

hi,
how can we add a time variable in container operation in BPM?
Say i want to increment the time upto 5 hours and see if it has reached in my loop.
how can we achieve this?
Tiru

henrique -
I have a block with a timeout defined.
Within the block i have the deadline with control step which triggers the exception
I have the exception handler which has a send step which sends the actual error message.
I have a send step which polls the http receiver and is in a infinite loop.
Now the first time i receive an error message i get an email which is good and should work that way.
Next time if it errors out it should continue until a deadline of 8 hours and then should send out an error email.
What happens is i get the second error message immediately without the deadline getting exceeded.
When i look at the workflow log the exception handler gets executed but i don't see a sign of the deadline getting executed?
Any reasons why its behaving this way?
Thanks,
Tiru

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

Checking Multiline Container Value in BPM

Hi ,
We have scenario where we need to check the container value in BPM.
Could you please anybody let me know how we check the conditions for a conatiner.
Madhu

Hi Madhusudhan,
You can use the following threads and see if it helps:
Accessing container variable of BPM in Message Mapping function
Copy value of container (abstract interface) to an other container
Container object in Message Mapping
Specially check out the Michal's blog mentioned in the last thread. It might be useful.

Container Operation in BPM

Hi,
I have a BPM that should change a message with a container operation. The message got the structure:
message
|-errorcode
is it possible to fill the errorcode (string) with a container operation? It is an abstract interface. Or is a container operation only possible with a simple xsd-data type?
I tried it with an abstract interface, but don't understand how to fill the expression.
thanks
chris

Ok, I guess this, but points for you.
I tried now to do following:
S/A-Bridge open -> transformation step -> S/A-Close
In transformation I mapped request to response, but if I check the BPM he tells me, that the repsonse container is initializied, but not used ?!? Why? In closing S/A-Bridge I use the response.
thanks

Accessing container variable of BPM in Message Mapping function

Hi,
I have a scenario in BPM where i have a container variable that is used as a loop counter.I want to access that counter defined , every time when i go around the loop and perform certain actions based on that counter. so how can i access that variable in my message Mapping function.

Hi Sudharshan,
check these links, hope they give you the required information (i think there is some problem with SDN site, check these links after a while)

Unable to view Abstract Message Interface(Sync) in Container Step of BPM

Dear Friends,
This is IDOC---SOAP Sync Communication Interface
I have created the External Def by exporting & importing the Standard Idoc
and Imported the WSDL File which has the Request & response Structure
I have created the Outbound Sync message Interface for Idoc side
and Abstract Sync message Interface for the same to use in BPM
and also created Inbound Sync Message Interface for Webservice side
and Abstract Sync Message Interface for the same to use in BPM
Problem is::::
While creating the Container varible inside the Integration Process, i have to select the Abstract Message Interface which i created for Idoc.
But it is not at all visible in the list.
What might be the problem
REgards
Seshagiri

Hi,
I have created
For Idoc side
1) Create O/b Sync by having request of Idoc and response structure of Idoc
2) Create ABS Sync by having the request of Idoc and response structure of Idoc
3) Create ABS Async by having the Request of Idoc Only
For Webservice side
1) Create I/b Sync by having the request of webservice and response of that
2) Create ABS Sync by having the request of webservice and response of that
3) Create ABS Async by having the Response of Webservice only
I created the Steps inside the Integration Process as showed in the screens.
1)Integration Process graph

Correlation or container step in BPM

we had scenario where 3 files will come in batch in sequence
and after validation check in message mapping they had to transfered
to same RFC in that sequence.
File -> Xi-> RFC
Files will come in one shot/batch
batch by batch..
Now my concern is..
With BPM we want to correlate 3 files and then post it to RFC.
3 files will have some comman field/Filename extension...
why we want correlate is that:
- XI should not process any incomplete batch ( like 1-2 files have come)
- XI should differentiate between files of Next coming batch..correlation will help or only container variable ..
Regards
Ashutosh

Hi,
Why do u want to go for BPM is there any specific reason.
Did the functionality of BPM work only for batch files.
If it work for single file then make necessary changes in file adapter mention below.
3 files will come in batch in sequence
We can understand that they will come in batch (group) within that batch they are in sequence.
Correct me if I am wrong.
If so make necessary changes in sender file adapter.
Mention file name as .txt or .xml (depending your format)
Processing mode as Delete.
Processing sequence By Date.
Hope this changes is necessary with out using BPM.
If using BPM is mandatory
With BPM we want to correlate 3 files and then post it to RFC.
3 files will have some comman field/Filename extension...
if u want to use correlation then three files should have common Field.
reward points if helpful.

Container element in BPM of type integer

if i make a container element of type integer in my BPM, does it initiallize to some value

Hi Pankaj,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/78/62373f58502e48e10000000a114084/content.htm
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.

Can we set a default value for the container variable in BPM?

Can we set a default value for the container variable.?
Suppose if i have a loop step and i have given a container variable i=5 as end condition.What value will it take during its first execution?Can we set the value for container before a recieve step?

Hi
Define Container Variable of Type integer and Category Simple Type .Use Condtion in Loop.
In Container Operation Step Assign value and Use Expression to
Increase or Decrease Valus according to your operation.
look Pattern 4 in this blog to understand Container Operation

Reg:Container variables in BPM

Hi...
I have done one scenario with BPM.
In that i have used the below steps.
1. Fork with 2 receive steps.
2. and two container steps for the 2 recieve steps ( vara= "I" for the first recieve step, and varb= "S" for the second receive step)
3.wait -- for 1 min
4. switch (if vara ="I" and varb="S", then branch 1 should execute, if vara="I",then branch 2should execute else we need to cancel the process)
the above steps i have used and executed the scenario. It is working fine. BUt i am having problem with the containers.
I am not able to satisfy the condition for [if vara="I" and varb="S",]
The switch is not going to check the above conditon because whenever the file is recieved the container variable will get updated and wait for 1 min and will go for switch contion. So here i can check only for single condition at a time.
Can you please help me how to check the both the container variables at an time..?
Regards,
Leela

Can you please help me how to check the both the container variables at an time..?
So when the Switch Step is executed are both the variables filled with the required values (I am not able to understand your query clearly)....if both the variables are filled then in the condition editor you can define the condition based on both the values (use And...it will be Insert Expression ...for executing Branch 1)
It will be something like var1 = I And var2 = S .....while selcting the left operand select the appropriate message.
If you are on 7.1 then create two condition variables representing var1 and var2.
Similarly when defing condition for Branch2 it will be only var1 to be used.

Abhishek.

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.

Question regarding container operations in BPM

Hi there,
i used a container operation to retreive a value from an Idoc, later in the process i need to put that value to a different message on a specified field, the thing is the container operation box only allows me to set a container as the target, any ideas how can i do this?, or if this should be done in a message mapping??, thanks!!
Roberto.

Hi if you can use a variable in a mapping use this code and write and UDF function
Set the Variable
   import com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.*
    public static void setGlobalVar(String gvName , String gvValue , Container container) {
        GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
        gc.setParameter(gvName, gvValue);
Get the variable
    public static String getGlobalVar(String gvName , Container container) {
        GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
        String output = "";
        if (gc.getParameter(gvName) != null)
            output = String.valueOf(gc.getParameter(gvName));
        return output;
