BPM and interface mapping

Hi All
I have done a BPM which collect messages and send them to a file adapter in one message.
I have added a tranformation step , which uses the interface mapping IM_map
when i run the program it failes , and in the sxmb_moni_bpe it showed mapping error and navigating to the message it says the following
http://test.com.IM_map
(SWCV=127593A01FA211DBC43DEDD90A16547D) not found.
I deleted the Interface mapping IM_map and created a new Interface mapping IM_map_2
and refreshed the cache and changed the mapping program in the BPM to the new one , I can se the IM_map_2 in sxi_cache but whenever I run the program it stille shows the message refering to the deleted inteface mapping IM_map that is not found .
how can I get rid of this error.
Thanks .

Hi Malu
while creating new IM in IR activate this with your software compnent
right Click on the BP object in the IR and activate it select SWC also with this and activate
then make a full cahe refresh either BY t code SXI_CACHE
or In IR go to environment and make a full cache refresh
or through URL
http://<host>:5<sys#>00/CPACache/refresh?mode=full Full CPA cache refresh

Message Mapping And Interface Mapping

Hi,
I have 2 software components.
One is for sender and one is for receiver.I have created all the Data types,Message type and Message Interface fro sender in the first Software component and data types ,message type ,message interface for the receiver in the second software component .
Now, in which Software component should i create Message Mapping and Interface Mapping?
Thanks in Advance,
mvk

Hi,
You could use the created Message type and Message interfaces in Sender as well as receiver software components for creating message mapping, interface mapping and integration scenario.
Generally it makes sense to maintain the message mapping, interface mapping and integration scenario in receiver software component. The message mapping and Integration scenario is specifically based on the receiver end requirments, so its preffered on receiver software component.
The sender side details could be reusable in case if you need those for another new receiver software component. If you maintain it in sender component, then that will lead to mix-up all the things on sender side even though its based on receiver end.
I think this could help you.
In PI7.1 now there is concept of Folders to maintain all the interfaces appropriatly and leads for reusability of existing objects.
Please refer below links for more details,

Exception handling in BPM and ABAP mapping

Hello all,
We have a BPM with this structure:
. REC (receiver)
. <begin BLOCK1>
. TRANSFORMATION1 (Abap Mapping)
. <begin EXCEPT> (exception branch)
. CONTROL (Cancel Process)
. <end EXCEPT>
. <end BLOCK1>
The same exception is assigned to the block; to the mapping and to exception branch.
The problem is that, when in the Abap Mapping the exception CX_MAPPING_FAULT is raised, the exception branch seems to be ignored and so, the BPM doesn't finish.
This problem only occurs in some of ours BPMs, because the same thing, when done in other BPMs, works fine.
I know i can change the BPM to turn around this problem, but i would very much like to know the solution to this.
Please, help us with this posting.
thanks in advance
Filipe Barreira

Hi again,
We are in SP19, witch invalidates the note 921757 listed.
Also, i made an abap mapping witch only raises the exception. So i think it is not an ABAP error.
Also the XML seems to be correct, because this is a duplicates check routine. A message (with the same data) already entered previously (we trying to avoid another entry).
In the trace analysis for the message, it is stated that the exception has occurred:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <MappingTrace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Namespace:http://xi.es/suministros</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Name:IM_SALIDAS_TESTE1</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-SWCV:7CE651C00ABC11DBCBF0C8E8C0A901F6</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Step:1</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Type:R3_ABAP</Trace>

<Trace level="1" type="T">Application error in mapping program ZCLTD_MM_SALIDAS_CARGA_TESTE, error code: , error text:</Trace>
</MappingTrace>
the problem is that the process keeps running.

</ns0:Employee>
If you look at the above message, the 3rd & 6th employee are female. In the BPM design, we use
a) 'Transformation' step, to split the messages (1:n).
b) Block Step (Mode : For Each) to process one by one message
c) in the Container Step, thru XPath expression we created one variable and assign '***' to that variable
d) In the Switch step we check whether variable is 'F' (Female). If it is there we insert control step to throw exception. (But, exception Branch is not added to catch the exception. The reason is that to restart the BPM)
e) If the *** is 'M' we insert Send Step to send the employee to the output file.
Note that if we insert exception handler branch, the BPM will tell this is completed. So, we are not able to restart those records (*** = 'F') after correct ***. Once the BPM is completed, that work item will not come in tcode 'Continue Process Following Error' option in tcode SXMB_MONI_BPE
Requirement is whenever the BPM encounters *** = 'F', it should throw an error and the same time BPM should not stop and continue with the next records.
Friends, we tried all the ways thru 'Queue Assignment' property of the BPM and made settings thru tcode SWF_INB_CONF. But, we are not able to achive this requirmenent.
'Restart possibilitye of the BPM for the error record and the same time should process the remaining correct records'.
Any idea friends, to solve this issue.
Kindly Reply,
Jeg P.

Use one more Receiver Abstract interface for this and do the message and interface mapping .
Collecting :
If ur record is female (u r checking this in swich step) , pass tht record to intreface mapping (use one branch here to collect the message).
Else you send that message to the target(else branch)
After that use one block for collecting messages and throw the exception for each record......

Use of Orders05 Interface mapping & XSLT mapping file for Orders03 IDOC

Hello Experts,
In a scenario we are sending Purchase orders and Purhase Order change from SAP to SNC through XI.
Currently Orders03 IDoc is used and standard mapping for Orders03 XSLT is used.
Now the requirement is to use the same IDOC (Orders03) but
- XSLT mapping (OrdersOrders05_ReplenishmentOrderNotification) and
- Interface Mapping (OrdersOrders05_ReplenishmentOrderNotification_01) of Orders05.
What changes would be necessary
- On SAP side,
- in the XSLT mapping, and
- On XI side.
Thanks in advance,
Suraj

Hi Suraj,
First compare ORDERS03 IDOC and ORDERS05 IDoc structures,if both structures are same then u no ned to chnage the XSL it will work fine.
If any chnages in ORDERS05 Idoc then u have to adjust XSLT as per ORDERS05 IDOC.
test interface mapping first and let me know if any error.

Raj

Interface Mapping Not Found in Integration Directory

Hey guys!
I'am getting this error in the test configuration part of the integration directory:
"Interface Mapping: <Not Found> com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException thrown during application mapping"
I don't see why I should be getting this error since I have properly defined a message and interface mapping for the receiving interface.
BTW, I get this error when I use XSLT mapping. If I point my interface mapping to a normal message mapping, I get no error. Is there anything I am missing?
Regards,
Glenn

The weird thing is that when I test the the configuration in the Integration Directory, it is still looking for my old message mapping (the one i created using xi editor) even though I already replaced the referenced message mapping in the interface mapping to the XSL one.
Yes, I tested the interface mapping with the same data using the XSL mapping and there's no problem.
When I send the message though, I get an error saying "NO_RECEIVER_CASE_ASYNC" I really don't see why it should not recognize the receiver. I tried refreshing the cache but it still looks for my old mapping program...
:P

Interface Mapping Not found in ID

hi all,
I am not getting the Interface mapping in interface detemination.
I have cleared all the cache.
My inbound mapping and interface mapping in IR are corret and activated.
Please suggest me possible cause for the problem.I have to give a demo by today EOD.
thanks and best Regards,
Nidhi

Hi,
May I Kidnly request you to explain your scenario in more details.
as per the information till you will not activate the Inteface Mapping, it will not be available in ID.
Thus you need to temparory create the request side mapping with request side Message structure and don't mapp all the fields =, just mapp the header nodes. and use it in Interface Mapping.
I think you don't wish to pass any data to receiver just to triger the event on receiver with call and the receiver will give back teh response to you.
Thanks

ID-Error: Interface Mapping Not Found

Hi,
While doing the test configuration in Integration Directory, i'm getting the below errors, after pasting in the payload area & after executing step by step:

Also, once when i'm adding message interface to interface mapping in Integration Repository, i'm getting the error as:
"Message Interface does not exits on any software components"
afterwards this error not came once again.
Plsssssssss help me to resolve the same.

Hi Balaji,
try to do a cache refresh,using tools>>clear SLD cache.
also see if message mapping and interface mapping have been created properly and activated.
Check the following:
--> The o/b and i/b interfaces in the mapping program are same as used to create the interface det. object.
--> THe Interface mapping shld be active...

UDF works in Message Mapping but not in Interface Mapping

Hello,
I have encountered a very strange problem. I use a simple UDF in a message mappings which imports a class that has been imported as "imported archive".
This works perfectly fine when testing the message mapping itself.
However when I execute the message mapping within a interface mapping I get a Java Error indicating that resources are missing (com.sap.aii.ib.core.mapping.ResourceNotFoundException) This error refers to a missing class.
How can this be? Message mapping works but not when using it in a interface mapping.
Do you have any idea?

Hello,
this is what I have already tried, with the same result. But now I have come to a conclusion. It is a little bit tricky, but maybe also helpful for others:
A method of a class (part of the imported archived) itself calls a class which throws an exception. This exception however is handled by the method itself and does not affect the overall outcome.
In the message mapping itself you do not see the error message, only in the interface mapping. Result however is the same.
Maybe the trace level is set different for mesage and interface mapping.....

Message Mapping Vs Interface Mapping

What are the differences between Message Mapping and Interface Mapping?

Hi,
Message mapping
1) Transformation from one message structure to another message structure
2) Message Mapping is nothing but a set of rules for producing target XML from the source XML according to business requirement.These rules are nothing but relations between the source XML tags and target XML tags
3) 4 types(graphical, java, xslt, abap) mapping
4) You can check whether a complete message mapping functions at runtime once you have described it, by using the Test tab page.
Interface mapping
1) Interface mapping registers a pair of interfaces for a scenario and specifies the message mapping to be used
2) you can execute multiple mapping programs consecutively
3) To check whether an interface mapping that you have defined functions at runtime, test the interface mapping on the Test tab page.
Limitations
1) value mapping table cannot be accessed here
2) runtime constants of the mapping runtime are not set,but set to dummy values.
differences
message mapping you declare how the source message will be mapped to the the target message.
What source field will be mapped to the target field and any conditions for it to happen.
interface mapping you define what interfaces that will be communicating with each other. You will also see what message mapping the interfaces are using to exchange data. You need to do the message mapping before you do the interface mapping to get it correct.
Other releated things
->I think there can be Interface mappings without any Message mappings. This will work properly if both the source and target interfaces are of same type.
There might be less sense in these scenarios but they cannot be ruled out. They can help at times.
Interface mappings register your mapping program for an interface pair in the Integration Repository. If you require a mapping at runtime, it is sufficient to select the interface mapping for the interface pair at configuration time.
->The Integration Server uses the interface mapping to identify associated mapping programs for request messages, response messages, fault messages, or all three.
You can also create multiple interface mappings for the same interface pair.

Interface mapping in BPM

hey guys
i was just wondering why in a BPM scenario we have to do interface mapping between outbound(or inbound) and abstract interface,whereas in a regular scenario(without BPM) we do it between outbound and inbound interfaces?is it just because BPM only understands abstract interface?
thanx
ahmad

Hi,
It is receiver Data Type , Since in this scenerio the sender is IDOC and recevier is Flat file , We have declare the data type . for sender we are importing the IDOC..for receiver we have declare the data type.
>>DT_S47,DT_S68 etc and then she is using them in the 'Type' field. --YES in receiver side.

The question about Interface Mapping in BPM

Hello,
I am a few confused about an Interface Mapping in BPM at the Design step.
I have a task to transmit and trasform two messages of two sender file adapter to two IDOCs messages and then to send them to SAP system.
I use BPM.
But I don't understand what types of message interfaces should I use for source and target interfaces in Interface Mapping? As to the target interface I understand it must be abstract but which of interfaces exactly?
Actually there are some questions here:
1) If the source interface should be abstract or real in Interface Mapping?
2) If the target interface should be the abstract interface of Receive Step object or the abstract interface of Send Step object?
3) And what the message types should I use for the source and target message interfaces in Interface Mapping? If I understand correctly that these message types

hi igor,
you have to import the IDOC Types under the imported objects in the integration repository objects,
what are all the data that coming out from the file adapter, you design the datatype.
the target IDOC should be real and you do the mapping for the all necessary fields.

Confused regarding interface mapping in BPM scenarion

hi
my scenario goes like this:
have 2 sources sendign files to target.
Am using BPM to merge the input files into a single target file.
am confused as to which interfaces to use in interface mapping.
(have 3 abstract ,and 2 outbound and 1 inbound interfaces).
am already using 2 abstract interfaces as input and 1 abstract target interface in o/p for nterface mapping.
However ,while running the configuratin wizard,no interface mapping appears.
please help me ASAP.

Hi...
Whenever you use transformation in BPM process where you will mention interface mapping there itself, so you cant see the it in interface determination. Your scenario is configured correctly.

Without BPM:Call RFC using JCO in interface mapping using java mapping

Hi all
I have a very small scenario where REQUEST from the customer comes via Web Service all i have to do is to read the request using SOAP adapter and call an interface mapping(lets say the name is IM_TEST) inside which there is a JAVA MAPPING program written which will call an RFC in CRM using JCO.
Now this was really simple and i cud test the Interface mapping successfully, but the problem is when loading the scenario in integration directory i have certain things to do
1. to set the SENDER AGREEMENT which i did correctly
2. set the RECEIVER DETERMINATION, INTERFACE DETERMINATION AND RECEIVER AGREEMENT now here i am stuck because there is no receiver in my case as the RFC is called inside the mapping only.
can i call one more message mapping in IM_TEST which will write file onto the XI directory and then in RECEIVER DETERMINATION, INTERFACE DETERMINATION AND RECEIVER AGREEMENT i can mention the reciever as FTP.
I tried it but i gives the following error
Runtime exception occurred during execution of application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TEST_WRITE_FILE: com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException; Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!
Please help me how to complete the scenario so that customer can run it end to end.

Stefen
What do i do then...actually this is the project requirement. They want a very fast response from PI and thats why they wnt us to omit BPM and the Graphical mapping from the scenario.
I am able to test the interface mapping which calls the the Java mapping inside which there is an RFC call, but i cannot implement it end - to - end as there is no receiver business system in this case. The only business system i have is the SOAP sender.
I am really troubled now, please help me with a solution.
Is there any other possible way through which the process can become very fast whic hcan meet their requirement.
