Attachment lost in BPM

Hi Experts,
we upgraded from PI 7.0 to PI 7.1
At 7.0 we had one scenario where a message with an attachment was received in a Business Process and later send via ABAP proxy to a SAP ECC. On 7.1 this is not working anymore, we just see the attachment in the incoming message but not in the proxy message (SXMB_MONI).
My questions:
- Is it possible to identify attachments in BPM monitoring?
- Does anybody have an explanation for that 7.1 behaviour?
- Is there any place to configure bpm/attachment settings?
Regards,
Udo

Hi Udo,
My problem is similar to yours. We are on SAP PI 7.1 SP6 I am creating attachement at mapping time and I am able to see attachment at all Integration Server pipeline steps but when I see the message at ECC end using SXI_MONITOR I am unable to see the attachement. Any help on this? Appreciate for your response.
Thanks,
Rao Mallikarjuna

How to attach image in BPM CustomJSP and view it

Hello everyone im new here ,
Is there any tutorial how to attach file into BPM Object ?
Im using Oracle BPM Studio 10.3.1
I have seen many tutorial how to attach file into BPM using fileChooser
( https://community.oracle.com/thread/880712 )
and succeed but my next problem is how to show image that i have been uploaded before
Thaaanks

Shiddiq

Hi Shiddiq,
You can get access to an uploaded file using the execData object.
For example, you can use execData.attachment[1].name to retrieve the file name of your first attachment.
Similartly use execData.attachment[1].contents to retrieve you first file contents in a base64 format.

Sender Logical system lost in BPM

Hi, we have the next scenario:
3 Sender Business Systems(file)->BPM->R/3System(IDOC).
We want that the inbound idocs arrive to R/3 with their corresponding Sender Logical System.
The problem is that the idocs arrive with the Logical system of BPM. I can do a header mapping, but the idocs arrive with one static Logical system, I've lost the information about the original sender logical systems.
What are my alternatives ?.
1- Make 3 'little' BPMs after the general BPM ?.
2- 'Tri-peat' the general BPM?
Thanks,
Francisco

solved it myself.. Thanks

Dynamic configuration lost in BPM

Hi,
My scenario : File->BPM(with several transformation steps)->File.
I would like to use the the dynamic configuration to have the sender Directory and FileName on the receiver side.
The dynamic configuration segment in the SOAP Header is "lost" after the BPM.
Do you know why?
Thanks,
Bela

Hi Moorthy,
"lost" => In the SXMB_MONI I can see the Dynamic Configuration segment in the SOAP Header before the message in transfered to the BPM. After the BPM the SOAP Header doesn't contain any Dynamic Configuration Segment.
If there is no transformation step executed inside the BPM the Dynamic Configuration is not lost.
I'm asking myself if it is not related to the fact that the mappings in the BPM are not executed on the same runtime, so the header is initilized again.
Thanks,
Bela

Notes and Attachment in SAP BPM

Hi,
In SAP BPM, the users that are completing a task can add some notes or attachment. These items will be visible by the other users who will execute the next tasks. However, when the process is complete, I'm not able via the SAP NWA to retrieve the attachment or view the notes that have been inputted during the execution of the process.
Does somebody know how to view this information once the process is completed?
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
You might have some access issues.
In a nutshell:
Prerequisites
You have administrator rights for the portal content, that is, the content administrator portal role is assigned to you.
Procedure
       1.      Log in your portal as a content administrator.
       2.      Choose the Content Administration tab page.
The portal content catalogue is displayed.
       3.      In the portal content catalogue, choose Portal Content ® Content Provided by SAP ® End User Content ® Standard Portal Users ® Pages ® Universal Worklist ® Universal Worklist.
Alternatively you can search for pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/pages/com.sap.km.pages/com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.uwl_page.
       4.      In the context menu of Process List Viewer, choose Open ® Related Links.
       5.      In the portal content catalogue, choose Portal Content ® Content Provided by SAP ® End User Content ® BPEM ® Pages ® Process List Viewer.
Alternatively, you can search for pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.bpem/com.sap.bpem.pages/com.sap.bpem.ProcessListViewer.
       6.      In the context menu of Process List Viewer, choose Open ® Related Links.
       7.      Confirm the Add Related Link dialog box with OK.
       8.      Save your settings.
Next time when you open your universal worklist (Home ® Work), in the left hand panel under Related Links the Process List Viewer is displayed.
Hope this helps,
David

How to attach documents to BPM workspace from IPM ?

Hi All,
I want to attach a document to BPM workspace, which is uploaded from Oracle IPM.
I can create the BPM instance and pass the metadata form IPM to BPM workspace.
Passing image URL to one of the field, also possible but i want to attach the document to *'Attachment'* area of the workspace.
Is this a possible scenario?
Thank you
E

Hi Nir
Yes, you can add attachments to Attachments section of Task under Comments and Attachments area. BUT you need to write some Java Code for this to use Task APIs to programmatically add attachments to the Task by reading the payload to get attachment details. You can write the java code in different places like when a Task is Assigned using TaskAssignment Callback handler. Or when Task is submitted using ITaskValidationCallback handler etc.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e10660/oracle/bpel/services/workflow/task/ITaskService.html (See methods like addAttachment(..))
You can find lots of samples online on how to use above APIs.
Thanks

Lost Original BPM For Songs On Itunes

Hi, im really frustrated right now, mostly because of my own doing while useing serato. But my question is how can i get back the original BPM on songs that I have downloaded from the itunes store? I accidently modified the files ID3 im guessing? please I really need to resolve this issue ASAP

If you had iTunes set not to copy added recordings into its own library, then the files might be anywhere and justreferenced in iTunes. Only you could know where you put the originals, but if careful searching doesn't find them that suggests they've been deleted.
If it did copy the files but you have deleted the library from your 'Music/iTunes' folder then the songs are gone. Again, if searching produces no results then the songs would appear to be missing from your computer.
With no backups, and the songs deleted, they are lost. 'iTunes in the Cloud' might enable you to re-download songs you had purchased, but I doubt this works on Leopard, which your signature says you have.

Attachment lost between 'Interface Determination' - 'Request Message Mappin

Hi experts,
I'm sending an attachment from client to server but server never got it.
In sxmb_moni, I can see that the attachment was there in steps:
1. Inbound Message
2. Receiver Identification
3. Interface Determination
4. Message Branch According to Receiver List
But, disappear in the next step 'Request Message Mapping'.
Had anybody seen this behavior before?
Rewards will be given to helpful hints.
Regards,
-Michelle

Thank you Ramesh.
We are using get_attachments() and set_attachments() already but in ABAP.
I do not think there is a problem with the way attachments are get and set. This is because I can see that it exists in sxmb_moni.
The problem is when I trace, in sxmb_moni, the attachment that was sent from the sender, I can see that it was there in step Interface Determination but was NOT there in the step 'Request Message Mapping', which is the next immediate step.
I'm wondering what can cause it to not being forwarded from one step to the other.
Regards,
-Michelle

How to bring attachement in BPM

Hello,
We are on XI3.0 SP10.
This question concerns an RFC to SOAP scenario.
we are sending purchase order from EBP to XI by RFC (bapi).
Inside XI we use a BPM for mapping.
RFC doesn't support attachements.
How can we catch the attachement in the BPM in order to join it to the final message sent by the soap adapter?
Hoping for your answers,
Best regards,
Laurent.

Hi Matias,
Thanks for these helpful answers.
For me i have now two solutions :
1. Change the RFC adapter with a Proxy to send the bapi (BAPI_POEC_XML_SEND) that sends po to XI. Is this possible?
2. "in the trigger program before the sending of this bapi, there is a step that you can configure to send the full content of the attachement to a webserver. (spro settings.) below is the module function that sends the attachement."
        CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_PUT_COMPONENT'
          EXPORTING
            absolute_uri     = lv_attach_url_write
            proxy            = lv_proxy
            user             = lv_user
            password         = ls_att_pub-i_password
            component_length = lv_filesize
          IMPORTING
            status_code      = lv_statuscode
            status_text      = lv_statustext
          TABLES
            component_data   = ls_attach-phio_content
          EXCEPTIONS
            connect_failed   = 1
            timeout          = 2
            internal_error   = 3
            tcpip_error      = 4
            OTHERS           = 5.
The phio_content is binary data sent with type RAW - 1022.
In the bapi sending step (second step of trigger program) there is no standard way to send the phio content but only url."
My first reaction was to add the phio_content to the bapi and send it with it.
But is there a way to rebuild the attachement afterwards in xi or in marketplace?
The other solution like you said is to follow standard that sends attachement to webserver. send the url by the bapi with rfc adapter.
Add a 'receive step' in the BPM that will look for the url on the webserver with a file or soap adapter and then bundle the two messages together to send it with the soap adapter.
Which solution should be the best?
Thanks for all.

Laurent.

BPM and UCM Integration

I want to save some flexField value of a BPM human task into a custom field created in UCM doc store, for that i am following the following steps
1) Created a custom field in UCM document store
2) Created a flex field in BPM work Space
3) Added pay load in human task from the "*data*" tab of human task flow
4) Mapped Pay load with the flex field of BPM Work Space
5) Now when I want to map the pay load attribute by adding a custom attribute in the "documents" tab of the human task, IDE is not allowing to add any custom fields except the pre populated values.
In this situation if I want one of my human task payload attribute to be saved in the custom field created in the document store how to do it. According to the Oracles guide we can add a new attribute through the "**document**" tab of the human task flow but it is not happening.

OK, so you are using the attachment option from BPM.
I gave you few hints in my previous post, but I will explain them in more details:
a) BPM has its own metadata
Forget for your document for a moment - the BPM process instance still can have its own metadata. These are used when you create BPM screen flows.
I think you will need to create a BPM parameter to store your custom value first. (and this is really purely a BPM question)
b) A document can be attached to a BPM process instance
In a sense, such a document is nothing, but an additional information for the BPM process instance. This has nothing to do with document-oriented workflow (quite often, the attached document enters no workflow at all); it is the BPM process instance that routes across the organization, not the document.
c) BPM metadata <--> UCM metadata
AFAIK, there is no integration between BPM and UCM concerning metadata. You may check-in (attach) a new document using UCM profiles, but for your process this value is not visible - unless you call a service to retrieve it/update it. If you implemented a) (created your custom value in BPM), you may call UCM's services to update this value - at the minimum when you are leaving from the BPM workflow step.

Regarding BPM and UCM integration

we are unable to add a custom attribute in documents tab in Human Task Flow, where we want to pass a custom value to be stored in UCM for retrieval of the document
How can we add a custom attribute in HumanTaskFlow, which has to be stored in UCM doc store.
but i am successfully uploadingdocument into UCM with out metadata attributes

Content license use in BPM

Hi,
can anybody help me to know how we can use WebCenter Content, since the license to use is binded with BPM ?
Can the attached files in BPM be accessed by others tools, applications ?
Thanks.

Hi Ger,
>That`s means we must use diferent logical system name for each BPM we created?
Yes, u r right.
One (dirty) trick: Route the message per HTTP adapter back to XI and route incoming message without mapping 2 IDoc adapter. Use only dummy datatyepes, messagetypes, interfaces. There not prooved during runtime.

Udo

Adding Attachment in a single Instance BPM Studio 10.3.1

Hello,
I am using Oracle BPM Studio 10.3.1.0 and I am trying to create a process, where there will be an Interactive activity for a user role to upload a file (for example a .doc/docx or .pdf) and after the file is uploaded, another role will be able to download that file to their local filesystem (in the same instance).
I can't find a way to do this.
I have tried FileChooserDemo from this thread, How to Use FileChooser on for Client files however I can't find where or how to display the file to be downloaded, neither the file itself on the filesystem.
I am using BPM for the first time for a project I have been assigned, so if you can please reply with good instructions.
The Oracle BPM server and client are the same machine.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Elina

Hi Elina,
Just a couple things.
Be careful with the fileChooser. I think you saw an old post from Lilach (Re: Browse for file where it is discussed. The file you're choosing is from your server and not from your client. It might appear that it is working from your client machine now, but that's because you are testing using your own machine and that's perceived as the "server".
Sure you've considered this, but you might want to use the OOTB attachment feature for work item instances that comes with the Workspace.

BPM to soap Attachment

Hi
My Scenario is from BPM to soap in synchronous mode in PO.
BPM is sending request to web service and getting response as attachment in Excel file.
for BPM to PI connection ,PI is using sender soap adapter with XI 3.0 message protocol .
for webservice to PI connection .PI is using receiver soap adapter with message protocol soap 1.1.
is it possible to receive excel sheet as attachment from receiver soap adapter ?
is it possible process excel sheet as attachment to BPM using XI3.0 message protocol?
Thanks
Harsh

Hi harshalata,
is it possible to receive excel sheet as attachment from receiver soap adapter ?
are you telling that you want to send attachment to receiver using receiver soap adapter? or to receive response as an attachement?
PI 7.0 :: Keep attachments in SOAP receiver adapter
is it possible process excel sheet as attachment to BPM using XI3.0 message protocol?
as per below link you can not process attachment in BPM.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail. Word worked in nothing. I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email. Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?
