Duplicate start process

We have a problem wherein our process chains are getitng triggered twice.
The chains are scheduled by event triggering and events are triggered thru dummy jobs.
WHen I rescheduling I get this warning message.
Several start processes with the same start condition as
START_ZZ have been found.
Should all these jobs be removed from new scheduling?
Is it possible to find what are the start processes with same condition?
The start condition is triggered by event in process chain.
Thanks in Advance,
Rajarathnam.S

Dear Ashish
Thanks for your help. I learned a new thing (table)
But still it didnt solve my problem...
I checked for the chains using the start process. But it shows only one chain..
Several start processes with the same start condition as
START_ZZ have been found.
This might mean the event used t o trigger the start process is used to trigger other start process also.
Is there anyway I can check the processes or jobs triggered by an event??

Sender File adapter and duplicate file processing

If I set the sender file adapter to delete or archive and when a file gets picked up and processed, this file will not get deleted/archived unless it was successfully processed. However, if it errors out during processing, the file remains but it's message will get persisted in the integration engine or adapter engine. Since there's automatic retry, we have the potential for duplicate processing as in addition to the retry, the file is still continously polling for this file. In other words, how do we stop this duplicate file processing?
Thanks.

Hi Bevan,
However, if it errors out during processing, the file remains but it's message will get persisted in the integration engine or adapter engine.
your file wont get deleted unless adapter engine sucesfull pickups. if does not picked up at adapter engine then is not stored in adapter engine . if it reached Intergation Server and failed their then file would be deleted.
please let me know if you haveany questions
please reward points

BPM Start Process

We have scenario(file to file) where we get multiple files and is merged using BPM, transformed and sent to the receiver. We have file This is a time based collection. Incoming file adapter is set to poll every 30 sec, and the block in BPM timeout in 2 mins ( for testing purpose).
The BPM receive step (inside the loop) has the start process turned on. The expected behaviour was to receive all files in one instance of BPM and send the merged one out.
It is spawning the multiple BPM instance based on number of files in the sender file adapter. My guess is it is doing this since we have the start process on receive step and for each receive it is starting a new process. How do we eliminate this to have only one instance start as I am not finding any other step prior to receive ( block , and loop) where I can start the process.
Any help is appericiated.
Thanks,
Samir

1. If you want to merge the same file format , Use "Loop" step before "Recevie" step. Put some deadline branch , which will ensure your time limit.
This would resolve your problem.
2. If you want to merge different file format , you need to have multiple "Receive" steps and for that you need to use the "Fork" step.
Let me know if you still find any problem.
Thanks & Regards,

Existing Categories are not listed in the Start Process

Hello,
I am currently using LC ES3 with SP3 and start having an issue with no Catgory listed in the Workspace ES3.
I checked the AdminUI > Application n Services > Categories and no Category is there either. If I create a new Category in the Admin UI then I can see it is listed in the Workspace ES3 but not sure why all of the existing Categories are not listed there.
Does any one have idea about this issue or any advise on this? Can you please share.
Thanks in advance,
HD

The -1 simply means it has no parent. I'm not sure when they enabled trees in the categories(much needed improvement!) as we just upgraded finally from 8.2.... For example if you have Category 1 and Category 2. If they are both -1 you will see them both on the "Start Process" screen. Where as if Category 1 was OID(2001) and parent_oid(-1) and Category 2 was OID(2005) and parent_oid(2001) then Category 2 would be under Category 1 in a treeview.
You just need to make sure that the parent_oid column is not nothing. If you did an upgrade it most likely is like ours was and the column is empty since it was a new column that 8.2 did not have.
Pic1 is (-1) for both.
Pic2 is Category 2 having Category 1 as it's parent.

Can't get batch from droplet to start processing

I'm using Compressor 4.0.7 running 10.8.5, but I've seen similar posts on other boards (Creative Cow) reaching back 2-3 years with same issue so I don't think it is new.
When using a droplet to submit a batch vs. submitting manually through Compressor, the droplet batch appears in Share Monitor, but hangs with a status of "Waiting" and never begins to get processed by my QuickCluster.
It clearly seems to be a bug as I did an A-B test without restarting any machines (host or clients) in the cluster and tried to submit 8 files by dragging them to the droplet.
Within a few seconds the batch appeared as expected in Share Monitor, but was stuck "waiting."
After a few minutes I manually created a batch in Compressor using the exact same 8 files, with same settings and same destination and submitted it directly from Compressor.
After a few seconds that batch also appeared in Share Monitor and immediately started processing correctly.
After it was finished successfully I then thought that maybe the "waiting" batch would then start up since things had gotten started in the queue.
No such luck - it just continued to hang with the "waiting" status.
Any ideas? It sure would save a ton of time to be able to use the droplet over and over ...
thx in advance.

Thank you very much for helping Allan. Something must have been wrong with the iTunes software. I switched it from Automatically sync when the iPhone is connected, to manual, clicked apply, then switched it back to Automatic, and now sync is in process. As a side note, I'm on Windows 7 and that may have had something to do with it. But it's working now, and why it didn't before when I did exactly the same thing is beyond me.
But again, thanks for your help.

Using CREATE PROCESS and START PROCESS in a JSP

Hi,
I have built a simple JSP page. I want to call my workflow program from this page.
How should I use the CREATE PROCESS() AND START PROCESS() inside the JSP page?
Also I want to get the value entered in the text field (which will be a hidden field) to be passed to the ITEM_ATTRIBUTE, which I have defined in my program. How can this be achieved?
Please give me the syntax for this.
Please find below the JSP page
=========================================================
<%@page import= "java.util.Date" %>
<script language="javascript" src="ibeCButton.js"> </script>
<html>
<head>
<title>First Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<H3>Today is:
<%= new java.util.Date() %>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="CART_ID">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" onclick = >
</H3>
</body>
</html>
==========================================================
To use LAUNCHPROCESS in JSP, the following is the syntax.
public static boolean launchProcess
(WFContext wCtx,
String itemType,
String itemKey,
String process,
String userKey,
String owner)
Should WFContext have the connection information of the DB.
If I pass only the WFContext and itemType attributes are they enough? Please let me know.
Thanks

There are two options.
1. Good one.
Include wf*.jar files in your system CLASSPATH. Use oracle.apps.fnd.wf.engine.WFEngineAPI class to access engine APIs. You would need to pass WFContext for which you need WFDB.
You basically created WFDB with username, password and connect string. Pass it to WFContext and use it for all Workflow Engine APIs.
2. OK one.
You can get JDBC connection using the default mechanism that your custom Java and JSP code could be using. Call the PLSQL procedures WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess over JDBC.
Anyways option 1 makes life easier.

Unable to start process via GP API in which group is exposed as input

Hi,
     I am not been able to start process using GP API for the particular senario.
I created Process at design time.
In this process I mapped parameters to a group and exposed this group, So that input is required for initiating the process.
Now I want to initiate this process via GP API.
I got sucess in starting processes which takes parameters as inputs or which does not need any inputs, but i was not been able to start process where group is exposed.
it's giving me GP INVOCATION Exception.

Cannot start BPM process, "Start process" button is disabled: Why?

Dear all,
I am working on the BPM example "Modeling Your First Process with SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management" with the "Purchase process". I did everything as mentioned in the tutorial.
At the end, I would like to start the process using
NWA > Configuration management > Processes and Tasks > Process Repository
I can see my WD example that I have deployed and I see the my task definitions and my process definition. In the tutorial it says, that I can select the process definition and click "Start process". But the button "Start process" is always disabled. I cannot click the button. I don't know why. Did I miss something?
I am logged in as Administrator. I am using NW AS 7.2 and I am developing with NWDS 7.1 SP04.
Anyone has an idea what can I do to start the process?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Patrick Beck on Jun 25, 2010 4:55 PM

Thanks for the link.
I added the new context attribute in the XSD files (under Process Modeling > Data Types > XSD Files).
Since I added a new context attribute "Comment" of type String in my Web Dynpro, I added the following on the corrent position of the XSD files:
                         <xsd:element name="Comment" type="com.sap.dictionary.string">
               <xsd:annotation>
                    <xsd:appinfo>
                         <xsd:attribute name="ReadOnly" type="xsd:boolean" fixed="false"/>
                                                                      </xsd:appinfo>
               </xsd:annotation>
          </xsd:element>
I also edited input and output mapping of the human and automated activities to support the new attribute "Comment". I thought this is enough to pass the new "Comment" parameter from activity to activity.
But when I started the process, I filled in the comment field in Web Dynpro and went to the next step in the process. Seems like the new attribute value for "Comment" got lost. It does not appear in the next process step.
Did I miss something?
These are the steps I did:
- edit Web Dynpro UI to support the new context attribute "Comment". created new input field and mapped to the Comment context attribute (that is defined in my WDP interface).
- edited XSD files (one for each human activity) to support the new Comment attribute as mentioned above.
- edited the mapping between the activities to support pass-through of the new Comment attribute between the activities
But it seems like it's not saved in the context attribute "Comment". It got lost after the first step.
Any ideas?

Collect BPM - Start process and correlation in one Receiver

I'm using collect pattern based on timeout. Somehow in my infinite loop, in the receive step, I cannot combine "start process" with creating correlation and using it. All in the same receiver. When I try to activate my BPM, in the processing log I get, "start process" trigger removed.
Can someone throw any light on this....I've being trying this for over few hours now. I cannot get start process and correlation in one receiver. I must be doing something wrong.
Even the copied BPMCollectPattern removes the start process from the receiver.
thank you,
Pam
Additional info:
The first message received starts the process within an infinite loop and activates the correlation "Correlation" by using IDoc message tyoe. Each subsequent message uses this correlation. The messages are received in the container element CollectMessage.In the loop the received messages are attached to the multiline container element CollectMessageList.

Hi,
We are also in SP12. So start process is not a problem, because you are getting an Information saying that "start trigger removed" right? It is not an error.
Are you getting this eror "expression must not return multiline value" after your complete Integration Process desgin ? If So...
I think you are getting this error in Transformation Step where you are doing N:1 mapping. In this step you are mentioning Interface mapping right? Once you mention Interface Mapping in Transformation step you need to give Source Message Structure as well as Target Message Structure. According to my understanding you are getting error here. You can check these errors, while design time itself. If your entries are showing with Red Border then it is understood that there is an error.
So if error is here then I think you need to check your N:1 Mapping. In this mapping your Source side Messages should be 0...unbounded. Similarly in Interface Mapping also. Just check for Source Message Occurences...
I think it will solve your problem.
Thanks,
Moorthy

Need to start process without SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin

We would like to give a class of users the ability to launch BPM processes without giving them SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin.
The problem with doing that, is that they could access NWA and change the process repository, if they found there way there.
Is there a way to just assign the role temporarily to the application?
Any thoughts?

Hi Jim,
Try this:
Create a wsdl in your bpm dc and assign it as an interface to the 'Start' of your bpm process. Build and depoy the bpm dc. Now create a small webdynpro dc with a button say Start Process and call the web-service which you have assigned to the Start of the process. Assign this wd dc to a page/role and assign it to the reqd users.
Hope it helps.

Process chain: manual data change as start process?

Hi,
i have two BWs in which i hold identical InfoObjects (master data). now i want to use a process chain to transfer any changes made to the data in BW X into that object in BW Y.
is it possible to use manual changes of this master data as a start process for the process chain? i only saw the possibility to use InfoPackages and so on. but my process chain should just be triggered by a manual change in the master data attributes.
how do i configure an event as a trigger for the process chain? i do not see the purpose of a start process because i do not see how i can link it with an event...
cheers,
stefan

Hi Ram,
i hope I understood everything right.
the table that you called "ztest1" I replaced with /BIC/PVCOM1_U02. That is the copy of the master data from the remote system.
The table in the local system, with which we compare the table /BIC/PVCOM1_U02, has the name /BIC/PVCOM1.
The name of the event I created is called "VCOM_DATA_CHANGE".
And here it goes...
****************BEGIN OF PROGRAM**********

/BIC/PVCOM1_U02 is the table copied from the remote system
/BIC/PVCOM1 is the table containing the master data on the current system
tables: /BIC/PVCOM1_U02, /BIC/PVCOM1.
data: zrec_old(15), zrec_new(15) type c.
data: ztest_old type /BIC/PVCOM1_U02 occurs 10 with header line,
ztest_new type /BIC/PVCOM1 occurs 10 with header line.
select * from /BIC/PVCOM1_U02 into TABLE ztest_old.
zrec_old = sy-dbcnt.
select * from /BIC/PVCOM1 into TABLE ztest_new

zrec_new = sy-dbcnt.
if i understood correctly, we sort the tables by field names
so i replaced CURRENCY and ANSALARY by /BIC/PVCOM2_U02, which is the only field in my table beside /BIC/PVCOM1_U02
sort ztest_old by /BIC/ZTEST1 CURRENCY ANSALARY.

Stop sign in the start process of process chain

Hi Team,
We are seeing a 'stop sign' in the Start process of a 'Process Chain'. Normally there's a green tick. Any idea why ? We did manually post a day's data.
Thanks,
R T

option 1. right click and display all jobs. If you see two released jobs, delete one of them. Also check the validity on the user-id of the scheduled job.
option 2. activate & schedule the pc again. If it still shows red stop. right click & get more info from the message long text. May be the start process is deleted somehow.
