Prblem with Switch step in BPM

Hi all,
I have a problem with a switch step in my BPM. The condition on my BPM is that I have an xpath and that should have a particular constant value. If true, then proceed or else passs through the otherwise branch. The success branch has a transformation and a send step. The otherwise has a control step with an Alert category defined.
So the BPM is like
Receive message --> Switch (XPath condition a particular node must have a value not equal to zero.) --> if tru then transformation and send step otherwise control step.
This all works fine as expected when I pass in the correct message format. The problem is, if I send in a message of a completely different structure, it is still going through the otherwise step of the switch case and not erroring out. The BPM is not erroring out no matter what message I pass in.
Ideally I am expecting it to error out and send an alert message according to the category.
could somebody please help me on this?
Thanks
Karthik

Thanks for your reply. I already did go through that thread. The switch case works fine for correct conditions and wrong conditions. The problem is, there is no error being generated when the input message is not in a recognizable structure. Switch goes on to otherwise path is I just pass in some random file.
My question is, why dint the BPM error out when the XPath itself failed..meaning the structure itself is wrong?
Please reply.
Thanks
Karthik

  • Problem with Switch Step in BPM

    Hi,
    I am using Switch Step in BPM, to check a condition. I created following condition (App_Resp./p1:App_Resp_MT/Response = true). The mentioned is correct and it should succeed but it is failing. Its going thru OTHERWISE branch. Can anybody help me to solve this out?
    Thanks,
    Yaseen.

    HI,
    I checked in the workflow the xml file generated contains value 'true'.
    Its not multiline and looks xpath reflects for the changes made.
    I think it may be problem that needs to deploy any OSS notes.
    Please throw some idea.
    Thanks,

  • Issue with Receive step of BPM

    Hi all,
    I have an BPM scenario in which I send a file to the target system and then receive an acknowledgement from the system. I have used correlation in the BPM for the send and the next receive step .
    When a wrong acknowledgement is placed , the message goes to the queue with the error message "Active correlation Not Found".
    But when an right acknowledgement is placed then also the message goes to the queue with the message "Error in delivery of message to receive step of BPM ".
    The acknowledgement is received and then interface mapping is used which sends the Filename to the Integration Process which is used for the correlation.
    Please give your suggestions .
    Regards,
    Srivatsan M

    When a wrong acknowledgement is placed , the message goes to the queue with the error
    message "Active correlation Not Found".
    when there is wrong ack then there seems to be no value coming in the field which you have used for correlation....or it seems that the field itself is not coming in the wrong ack message
    But when an right acknowledgement is placed then also the message goes to the queue with the
    message "Error in delivery of message to receive step of BPM ".
    Now in right correlation the value that is coming in the correlation field is not  matching with the field for correlation of the send step...
    So the reason for both the errors is wrong correlation configuration.

  • Problem with switch step

    Hi,
    I want to proof in a switch step, if the message part 'price' is lower than the 'price'-part of an other message. Dependent from the expression, the corresponding fork is triggered in my BPEL process.
    I know there is an expression editor, but I can't find a lower than and greater than symbol, respectively.
    Are these operands not supported or am I blind
    Best regards
    Sascha

    I donot think you are blind..:)Switch step doesnot provide that....Instead check the condition in the message mapping and add a field in the target message which will contain the result.You can use that check for you to switch...Iam not sure wether am right but this is option I could think..:)

  • Checking condition in switch step of BPM

    hi all,
    i am doing an 1to1 transformation where: i am converting my source into a target. the target has
    header 1
    lineitem 1..unbouneded.
    lets say there are three line items:
    header1
    lineitem
    lineitem
    lineitem
    i am using a send step where i am sending this target msg to a switch step. in the switch step i am checking for a condition.i am checking for the occurence of a field in the line item. but when specifying in the condition editor, it allows only to choose from the root of the structure. how can i check the ocuurence of a particuler field for the lineitem alone??
    is there a way to to do it??
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    This is the condition i have currently given: but if i have 2 or more lineitems in the incoming msg does this condition also check for :
    MI_DOC./p1:SRC_ROOT.lineitem/itemfield2 EX
    MI_DOC./p1:SRC_ROOT.lineitem/itemfield3 EX
    etc...
    and in one of the line item the field may EX and some it does`nt. when it doesn`t i am cancelling the process, if the field EX then it is sent to further processing.so if i have 3 lineitems in which two of the line items the field EX and in the other one the field does the EX, are the msgs split accordingly??

  • Correlation used with synchronous steps in BPM

    Hello,
    we have a problem with a correlation.
    A receiver step synchronous activates a correlation.
    The step is completed by receiving a response.
    The receiver step connects via sRFC to an R/3 system to trigger there an IDOC.
    Next step of the BPM is to receive the IDOC from the R/3 system (async).
    This system uses the correlation (time stamp field from RFC).
    But: This doesn not work.
    We only had success when using an asynchronous RFC.
    Does anybody have experience with such issues?
    What is possibly wrong with our correlation ?
    (Corr. is local within a block where both steps are included, RFC and IDOC step)
    regards
    Dirk

    Here is a little twist to the correlation issue...
    I had the following problem. I have a very simple Sync/Async bridge, including a sync. reveiver (sr) at the beginning, as closing S/A bridge sender (ss) at the end, and a async. sender (as) and an async. receiver (ar) in the middle. My messages have an orderId that I use for my correlation.
    The first receiver (sr) activates the correclation (using the orderId in the request message).
    I then attempted to "use correlation" in my async. receiver (ar) step. The correlation shows up in the drop down options in the properties window of the step, but my selection would not "stick" (it would show it and revert to the red question mark).
    After checking my correlation and unsuccessfully trying a few permutations of where to "activate" the correlation, I tried this:
    I temporarily turned my synchronous steps into asynchronous steps (sr and ss). Then I selected my correlation in the async. receive step and it "stuck". After my selection was accepted in the "use correlation" property of the async. receiver step, I turned my first and last step (sr and ss) back in to synchronous steps and had the desired result.
    ... and it worked! I guess it is just a little bug in the tool (which may not be an issue in later releases?!)

  • How to check condtions for multilines in switch step in bpm?

    Hello,
    I am implementing a scenario that send PO create Idoc(orders.orders05) to bpm and bpm receives an OrderResponse from File adapter, I have a switch to check the condition if the Qunatity for each line items from the OrderResponse xml matche with the quantity for each line ltems in OrderCreate, but I don't know how to specify mulitline containers in conditon editor, currently the system only takes the quantity from the first line item.  Any suggestions or other recommendations?  BTW, here is the blog talks about modeling multi rows for incoming message, didn't totally get it...
    Using BPM (Blocks) when Incoming message has multilple rows
    Thanks,
    Hy

    Hi,
    go to Condition Editor-->After selecting your message in the LeftOperand -->then it will lead into Expression Editor there you can see a check box stating "Multiline".
    This will be enabled , if you choose option of XPATH in this Expression Editor.
    Hope this helps,

  • Switch Step in BPM. Pls advice

    Hi All,
    I want to give condition that if in a field (test) value
    is 000 or field (test) is empty it should go to branch1
    How will I do this
    For case 000 I can select my test field as left operand
    and select value 000 as integer as right operand.
    Now I want to have OR condition for empty also
    How to do it

    Hi,
    As suggested
    (SWITCH_RES./p1:MT_SWITCH_RES/Response u2260 000) OR (SWITCH_RES./p1:MT_SWITCH_RES/Response = )
    Now when I am not sending any value in field Response
    it is going to different condition.
    Is ot not ok?

  • BMP: Condition Editor for SWITCH Step

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how I stipulate the following conditions for a switch step in BPM:
    >, <, <=, >=
    The only options that seem to be available are:
    =, !=, Existence check and contains a particular string pattern...which is very limiting?
    Surely SAP has given the options for the greater than, less than etc oprands....hopefully i simply missing a service pack or something like that.
    Cheers
    Yackeen

    Hi
    One way could be to use XPATH expressions & XPATH functions in your condition editor. Chk whether an element has a value greater than or less than some value in the XPATH expression itself.
    The result of this check now can be compared to a true or false(that is your rt hand operand). My 2 cents.

  • Teststand switch step without NISE software installe

    Is it possible to run a sequence with switch steps on a PC without NISE installed. Is there a run time engine or something.
    kph

    In order to access a NISE virtual device fom TS you will need to have the NISE virtual device present in MAX and therefore you will need at least the deployment version of NISE installed on the machine.

  • BPM: XPath-Condition in Switch Step

    Hello,
    I have the following requirement in BPM.
    There is a switch step with five branches, and I have the following document structure:
    <Root>
    <Segment>
       <Docnum> 12345 </Docnum>
    </Segment>
    <Segment>
       <Docnum> 12346 </Docnum>
    </Segment>
    </Root>
    The switch condition is done based on the last digit of the first Docnum element. So in this case the value would be 5.
    I tried to work with a substring as the total number of digits of docnum is always 5.
    How would an XPath expression look like to retrieve the substring from the first <Segment> element? I tried different combinations but none of them really worked.
    Example what I tried: p1:/root/Segment[1]/substring(docnum, 4,1)
    Any advise on this?
    Thank you very much

    Try this...
    substring(/p1:/root/Segment[1]/docnum,4,1)

  • Switching Step based on Send Step Acknowledgement in BPM

    Hello Everyone,
    We have an inteface scenario to read a file, send the message to an R/3 system, check the return code and generate an email if the acknowledgement is not OK.  NT file -> SAP XI -(asyn ABAP proxy)-> R/3.
    We want to use the standard inbound interface provided by SAP which is an asynchronous proxy interface. We implemented a BPM with a send step and application acknowledgement. Now based on the application acknowledgement we want to send an email to a support group. Is there a way we can check the acknowledgement status and implement a switch step?
    Sathi.

    Hi Naveen,
    Thanks for your response.
    OK I will try transport acknowledgement. I find these acknowledgements are not available in a container. So how can I implement a switch to perform 2 different processing paths based on success/failure status of the acknowledgement.
