Split message mapping to integration process

Hi,
I faced an error when trying to send a multiple message (after a message split) to an integration process and I would like to know the possibilities to resolve this issue.
What I want to do (more details below) :
1. Get an order list from a database
2. Split the order list in multiple orders (via a multi-mapping)
3. For each order, create a new integration process instance
The error I got is:
Messages in multi message format can be sent to one adapter engine only
The solutions I thought of:
- Creating a new integration process / Update the existing integration process in order to execute the message split in the process engine
- Create a new service (or business system) as a receiver instead of the process that points back to another XI service and set-up the appropriate configuration between the second service and the existing integration process
My question: is there another solution than the two above?
Thanks in advance
Here are the details of what I did:
1. A JDBC request returns an order list like:
<resultSet>
 <row>
 <order>[...order 1 details...]</order>
 </row>
 <row>
 <order>[...order 2 details...]</order>
 </row>
</resultSet>
2. During interface determination phase, a multi-mapping is executed to produce several orders:
<order>[...order 1 details...]</order>
<order>[...order 2 details...]</order>
3. The target receiver is an integration process who take as initial document only one order ; so, having two orders as a result of the split, I would like XI to create two new instances of my integration process, each receiving exactly one order.
And there's when the above error occured.

Hi Alexis
Creating a new integration process is suggested as your target receiver is your current integration process and along with this splitting and passing data to multiple receiver can be done in integration process.
Thanks

Line Split Interface to feed Integration Process - Performance Issues

Hi All
We have a scenario whereby we receive an XML message from a 3rd Party through an exposed SOAP Adapter service. The XML Message has multiple lines that need to be split up and processed as individual messages. We need to create a Line Splitting interface in order to achieve this. The Line Split interface would feed different Integration Processes depending on a specific payload value. The Integration Processes would then perform certain specific logic & Rules as well as transformations to specific message formats (e.g. idoc, xml, flatfile). The Line Split interface also maps from an xml structure that caters for multiple lines, to a flatened xml structure which only contains one line. The uper range of a message we may need to split into individual messages is 30 000 lines.
We first used an Interface Map and used SplitByValue to achieve this, however we ran into the constraint that we could not feed the output split messages to an Integration Process - you can only feed it to Adapters that reside on the J2EE engine.
We then decided to build a seprate Integration Process thats sole purpose was to split the message and route the indvidual messages to other integration processes to perform the logic, business rules and specific transformations. However, the performance of the ccBPM line splitting Integration Process was nowhere near the Interface Map.
e.g. Interface Map Split 1000 Lines = 13 seconds - BPM Integration Process 1000Lines = 100 seconds.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how we can perform the line split outside of BPM, or how we can improve ther performance of the line splitting within BPM?
Thanks for your assistance.

>>>We first used an Interface Map and used SplitByValue to achieve this, however we ran into the constraint that we could not feed the output split messages to an Integration Process - you can only feed it to Adapters that reside on the J2EE engine.
the easiest (not the only) way :
do the split as you did here and post the results in different folders (file adapter)
then set up scenarios that will get the files from those folders
(many additional objects but will be much much faster and better then a BPM)
you could also split the messages in the adapter module but this is more advanced
and officially SAP does not recommend it - even though it's possible

Message mapping to a process- question

Hi,
I am trying to do a small scenario with the following steps. ( FILE - BPM -FILE)
1) File adapter sends the message to the integration process.
Both the integration process and file adapter use the same massage type.
So should I create any message mapping and interface mapping for the receiver process to accept the message into the container type from the file adapter.
Regards,
Meher

Hi,
In the same FILE-BPM-FILE scenario.
Should we have to create a sender agreement for the send step in the integration process??
I configured the following scenario.
1) FIle --> Bpm
2) Bpm Receive
3) Bpm Transformation
4) Bpm send
Configuration has
1) 2 receiver determinations
a) Sender (Business service) to BPm
b) Bpm to the receiver (Business service)
2) 2 interface determination
3) 1 sender agreement (from Sender to the Bpm)
4) 1 receiver agreement (from bpm to receiver)
5) 2 communication channels (2 file adapters)
Source file adapter picks the file but target adapter shows no file processed.
Monitor shows that process executed successfully.
My receiver did not receive any file
Adapter engine shows no file received till now.
Please help.

Correlate MDN to AS2 message using an integration process

Hello,
I had a similar question in a previous thread but closed it as the problem might have not been to clear.
Problem is that we have to use BPM for an AS2 scenario and correlate the MDN back to the process as we need BPM functionalities such as error handling and time-outs as well as some data enrichment.
Problem is even when I request the MDN synchronously on Adapter Level it is delivered as asynchronous message back. So I need to figure out how to correlate it.
MDN contains the messageID so I tried to use the messageID of the original message as correlation. However problem is that a new message ID is assigned when the message is sent by the integration process and the second on is used then as ID in the MDN.
It seems to me that it is therefore not possible at alle to correlate the MDN? However this is a definitive requirement so I am really stuck at the moment.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you very much!

Hello,
well, actually the correlation itself would work as I extract the messageID in a transformation step and then activate the correlation in a send step.
If I check the flag "Refer MDN to XI" in AS2 receiver channel the MDN is delivered back to the integration server and the original messageID is then part of the MDN message payload.
However, and that is the big problem, the MDN uses the second messageID that is created when sending the message from the integration process (and not the first one when the message is sent from sender and process by the integration process).

Handling fault messages in an Integration Process (bpm)

I have a bpm in PI 7.11 which performs a synch call to an external webservice. In addition to the request/response, that webservice can also generate two faults: ObjectNotFoundFault and generalfault. I am having trouble handling these faults - when a fault occurs my handler is not being invoked and thus the bpm process stops/errors. When I look at the underlying process (via txn swi1), I see the exact error text:
"No exception defined for fault message ObjectNotFoundFault http://www.companyb.com/services/olsa_v1_0/"
From what I understand within the bpm synch call step to the webservice I need to do the following to handle the exception/fault:
- put the synch call (to the webservice) into a block
- add an exception branch to that block named let's say A & set the exception handler of that block to be A
- in the exception setting of that synch step, select A
In my case, I don't care about the fault details other than to ensure it does not stop the whole Integration Process, so in my exception branch I don't do anything. I did try adding a control step within it too (as per SAP Press text book).
Is there anything else I need to do here? I am not mapping the returned fault - does the fault need to be mapped (not sure how I would do this given that the synch step uses an abstract interface and therefore to my knowledge no fault mapping can be done)?
There are 2 Notes that describe my issue exactly:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1484903
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1158699 <-- this one refers more to me, but we already have in 7.11
Can anyone let me know exactly the steps I would perform to handle these faults - does the exception name / handler A above need to be named the actual exception / fault ObjectNotFoundFault?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks - my scenario I guess is #2 of that blog. But is your take that even if I don't care what is in the fault message, i.e. I don't care about the contents of it but rather I just want to continue on from it, that I still need to perform this java coding? It's not clear to me from what he says - it seems to me he does the java coding to actually capture the contents of the message. I am in fact using the soap axis adapter too, as he is. The screen shot showing the exception branch is basically what I have.

Configuration for Message Exchange in integration process

Hi,
I'm a beginner in SAP XI (7.0) and trying to develop an integration process for a purchase order.
There will be sent a message via Http to a receiver with Ftp.
So for the integration process are two communication channels necessary which will be defined in the integration directory:
One for the Sender: Http.
One for the receiver: Ftp.
Within the integration process are some sender and receiver steps with Bapi's.
My questions are:
- how and where could these sendings to a Bapi (send step) and from a Bapi (receive step) be configured?
- is it possible at all to configure a communication channel for these sending and receiving steps within a integration process?
Thanks for your help!
Zoran

Hi Zoran
While using BPM as well you will need to have communication channels.
BPM - > BAPI request.
BAPI response -> BPM
both sender and receiver channels are required for you.
1.Demand for a material is send via HTTP to XI
2.XI does a material availability check to the SAP system
3.A material reservation has to be done if there are any materials available in the stock (inventory) to the SAP system
4.If there is no material available a purchase order to a supplier (no SAP) has to be done via FTP
5.Parallel to the purchase order a purchase order confirmation is send to the the SAP system.
6.The supplier sends a purchase order confirmation to XI
7.The XI sends a purchase order confirmation to the SAP system
If i understood your requirement correctly and you want to use BPM. You need to do following in BPM
Receivestep1(receive HTTP post) -> transform1(mapping to BAPI request) ->send step1(Send BAPI request to SAP) -> Receivestep2 (Receive BAPI response from SAP) -> Transform2 (Map BAPI response to File)-> send2(File post to non SAP supplier)-> Receive3(receive purchase order confirmation)-> transform3(map to SAP purchase order confirmation)-> send3(Purchase order confirmation to sap)
You need no of channels
1.Receive 1 - (HTTP)
2.Send1/Receive2 - (RFC)
3.Send2 - (FTP)
4. Receive3( HTTP or FTP)
5. For purchase order confirmation.
Thanks

Capturing of Message ID in Integration process

Hello,
I have a scenario where my a file is picked from FTP server and passed to Integration process. Here if there is any failure in IP then i am throwing alert. Here i am preparing dynamic text in alert message. But my problem here is i am not able to catpture Message ID whereas i am able to capture all standard variables like SenderParty and etc.
Please help me in this regard,
Thanks,
Vijay Kumar T.

Hi,
I have implemented the same. I have used container variables and used it in the Title of my AlertMessage.Store the Message Id after the receive step of BPM. Pass this value to the Function that triggers the Alert from Transformation step. We have a RFC SCREATE_ALERT that is used to set container values.
With Dynamic Text, i feel it always gives the processId.You can have MessageId in Alert Long text.Store the MessageID in a container element of BPM and use it in the control step message text : &message_id&. Dont forget to check the Dynamic Text in the properties of ur AlertCategory.
Hope this gives u an idea.
Ref this link for the possible container variables

How to use the fault message type? when define the fault message type for inbound message interface, how to output that fault message?
hope from your helps
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
A fault message is usually sent from the receiver system to the sender system.
when define the fault message type for inbound message interface,
We usually use fault messages when we need the receiver to report an application error to the sender.
How to use the fault message type?
In order to use these fault messages, we need to make use of the data type exchange fault data.
We need to create a message type which has exchange fault data as the message type.
When we create an outbound synchronous interface, we need to specify this fault message type.
how to output that fault message?
This i am not very sure.
But we must be able to map it to a similar structure, and send it as a file to a file server.

Export Parameters in Parameterized Message Mapping does not work.

Hello, XI-Gurus!
I have a question: how to use an EXPORT parameter in Parameterized Message Mapping? seems it does not work...
(I use XI / PI 7.1)
For example, I have a follow scenario: a large message comes to XI from one BS (message contains a lot of rows), then this large message splits to some small messages (something about 1000 rows in one small message), and send small messaeg one by one from XI to second BS. So, after receive step I use a transformation step with Parameterized Message Mapping to get a total amount of rows in large message (it needs for making condition for loop in IP, for example). I want to use an EXPORT parameter to pass this number from Parameterized Message Mapping to Integration Process. How can I do it?
Of course, I know the way to how to make this scenario without any parameterizing, but I want to use exactly "Parameterized Message Mapping" like it writes in this help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/c3e1fa6c31599ee10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
This topic contains something about procedure how to use an EXPORT parameter, but this procedure does not work. I don't understand how to write this UserDefined Function, which I can set any export parameters.
I read this blog:
/people/jin.shin/blog/2008/02/14/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-parameterized-message-mappings
this blog has NO solutions about EXPORT parameters. about IMPORT parameters - everything OK.

Hi Rudolf,
It still does not works.
Great thanks for all your answers! If your advice works on your PI-server, it means that my problem not in UDF.
Step by step:
1) I create in "Signature" tab two parameters: FILE_NAME, FILE_TYPE (of course, they both Export and xsd:string type)
2) Then, I goes to "Functions" tab and create new function "testUDF" with one argument var1.
3) In body of this UDF insert 2 strings:
getOutputParameters.setString("FILE_NAME" , "Order");
getOutputParameters.setString("FILE_TYPE" , "PDF");
4) in "Definition" tab I bind function "Local.testUDF" with one field in my input message and goes to "Test" tab for testing.
5) And then I have a message window "Problems While Testing":
Source text of object Message Mapping: mm_ParamMap | urn:****.*.:****:TEST has syntax errors:

Viewing the way of a message through integration process

Hey,
I would like to check the lifecycle of a message through an integration process (IP). Therefore I took the ID of a message that triggers the IP. Our IP have several sending steps and I would like to see the messages that will be send. In sxmb_moni I clicked on PE and opened the technical view of my IP.
The payloads of the container are empty. I think this is because of configuration in sxmb_adm.
Is this the only way to figure out which messages belong to my IP?
How to found the message IDs of all messages that belong tho this IP?
thx
chris
Edited by: Christian Riekenberg on Aug 20, 2008 3:38 PM

@Bhavesh Kantilal
No I didn't check this flag. Thanks for this information.
I figure out that you can show all messages to a integration process
by using transaction sxmb_moni_bpe.
Following steps are necessary:
- took the message ID, date and time of receiving of the message that triggers a integration process
- go to sxmb_moni_bpe and choose "Process to a message"
- enter receiving interface name that triggers the process and a fitting time.
- choose your process with the time and date of your message
- mark this process and look in the further information if your message ID is in this process
thx

Logical System for Integration Process

I am getting a error message for my Integration Process: "Unable to convert sender service IP_Kleinschmidt_Shipments to an ALE logical system"
I am confused as to what i need to put in the IP -> Service -> Adapter Specific Identifires ->Logical System.
I won't let me enter either the R3 system nor the XI system.
What value do I need to put here so my acknoldgement can go back to the R3 system?

Use header mapping in receiver agreement to apply a business system as sender of the Idoc message.
That business system must have a logical system aplied and this should be maintained in R/3 as well.
if you use XI system as logical system as IDoc receiver in R/3, then you can apply also XI as sender here.
But you have to load the PI as business system to ID for this reason.
You cannot apply a logical system to the business system, which already used elsewhere.
I discused that issue with the developer a couple of years ago. He told me to use the workaround.

Slow paralel processing (parforeach) in an integration process

Hi all,
I've an integration process with the following steps:
1) Receive a message;
2) Transform: map this message to a multiline message;
3) Block: configured for parforeach mode, it send assynchronously the message n times (each line from the multiline message is a new message).
I'm putting 50 messages in this integration process and the difference between the first and the last message processed is 65 seconds. I have the following questions:
1) Is this process slow in our system or this time is expected?
2) Where can I make this process faster?
Another question is: Is BPM and Integration process the same thing?
Thanks for any help,
Alessandro.
XI 3.0, SP10 in HPUX with much RAM

Hi Frank,
in case you are using QoS EO you will be able to tune partially through the tuning parameters in the integration engine (sxmb_adm), although I think you probably know that. However there are additionally some issues you could consider.
Regarding your question of setting the rfc adapter max connections to 50 I would strongly suggest you NOT to do it. I imagine you will get outofmemmory errors in doing that. Start with a lower number, perhaps 5 is ok, and then you can test, raising this value a bit, but 50 seems to me to be too high. You could also think about tuning in the visual admin, the Messaging system service, that is, SAP XI AF Messaging, parameter "messaging connections", the values for consumers, recvmaxConsumers, call max consumers, rqst max consumers etc. Additionally tune the MaxThreadcount parameter. The tuning guide advises you to set a 300, but you could test other values too.
Be careful, again when doing this tuning, because when trying to have high numbers, as I explained you, you may have memory problems because the heap size runs out. It will not always be good to increase the heap size excesively. Instead, it is much better to add an extra node for this purpose.
I hope this helps you a bit. Regards, Jaime

Failed in Message Mapping for Sender SOAP Adapter

I have already tested a few steps like:
1. We have applied the latest patch to E-filing GB. This did not help solve the problem.
2. Tested the Message Mapping. No error at Message Mapping.
Is there anything we are missing out on?? Please suggest.
