BPM collects messages, and should terminate at a given time

Hi,
i'm trying to create a scenario where a business process collects messages. At a certain time each day this process must transform this messages into one message and terminate.
(I used the BpmPatternCollectTime process as a template)
My problem is:
how to tell the deadline branch it should rais an exception every day at a given time, lets say 10pm?
I already tried to configure this branch with "Reference Date/Time=Expression" and set date and time to 2008-10-04 14:30:00. But the process won't stop at this time.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
ms

Hi,
I am not sure if you could use this pattern for stopping at a given time?
Maybe you could configure a report that sends a message every day at the given time to the PI and your process stops with receiving this message.

  • BPM Collect Message dependent AND time dependent

    Hi
    I have a IDOC to file scenario where I have to collect all the IDOC until I receive a stop IDOC.
    Once the End collect IDOC is received I have to do a n:1 transformation and write the file to the FTP.
    The problem is, at times the IDOC which is suppose to end the collect loop gets stuck in ECC R3 system.
    So Im wondering If I can do something like say, we have two options inside BPM both time dependent and message dependent.
    In this case which ever comes first (the Stop/END IDOC or the Time say 3 mins) will end the collect process.
    Can anyone pls suggest will it work and if so what are the additional steps I have to introduce in the BPM.
    Pls advice.
    Right Now these are the steps in the BPM Collect Message dependent.
    1. Block (I have used correlation)
    2. Fork inside the block
    3. Fork branch one has a look with end condition as 1=1; then a receive step and a container operation inside the loop.
    4. Fork branch two receives the end collect idoc.
    5. Transform step outside the block.
    6. Send step.
    Thanks

    Hi Abhishek/ Raj
    Thanks!!
    I have done the changes let me confirm after testing it once. In the mean time I have one more question regarding the same BPM, as I have mentioned in the first post, the BPM contains the 6 steps mentioned but the the 6th step is inside another block (Block2).
    The steps 1 to 4 are inside Block1.
    The step 5 ie the transformation step (n:1) is in between the Blocks ie not inside any block (hope im not confusing).
    The second block is for sending the file to the FTP and based on the acknowledgement (transport level) I have to send an email.
    So Block2 already contains a deadline branch, it is to wait for the positive acknowledgement for say 3 mins and send the error email if incase we dont get positive ack within the time limit.
    My doubt is,
    1. Is it the only way (having two block and two wait steps) to achieve this.
        (one block for collecting and one block for ack)
    2. Is there any way I can have a single Block in the BPM insted of two. If so what are the steps.
        Having single block, Will improve anything??
    Thanks

  • BPM collect message

    Hi All,
    I am doing a scenario for collecting messages using BPM, the objective was i need to collect the input messages and to be stored, when the message reaches 10, then it should deliver all these 10 messages to the target.
    for this, i have designed bpm with the
    1. Receiver Step
    2. Container Operation
    3. Transformation and Send.
    but i am getting the following error while activating
    Exptession must not return an multiline value
    Expression must return the interface type MI_OUT_A
    Expression must return the interface type MI_IN_A
    Container element var1 in step Receive1 is initialized but is not used.
    Here var1 is the abstract interface
    the datatype& message type  was DT_A and MT_A and the interfaces are MI_OUT_A and MI_IN_A.
    could anyone clarify regarding this issue..
    regards,

  • BPm collect Message Check

    Hi,
    when i perform a check to standard BPM patterns BpmPatternCollectMessage. I get the following info am i wrong some where do any changes needed to be done.
    Container element stopmessage in step receive terminating message is initialized but not used
    Container element collectmessage in step *receive * message is initialized but not used...
    kindly help

    I did the above scenario as told.
    It is a bpm message dependent scenario. It keeps collecting messages till a particular message is received.
    I more or less used the message dependent pattern given in SAP BASIS.
    The data types are as follows.
    Dt_In
         Name
         OverallID
    Dt_In
         Name
        OverallID
    1 to 1 mapping
    I used the OverallId for correlation. The receive step inside the infinte loop collects the messages with OverallID '1' while the receive step below collects messages with OverallId '2'.
    In the container elements i defined 2 separate message interfaces. One for OverallID '1' and the other for OverallID '2.  The 2 message interfaces have the same Message type. Only values will be different.
    For the parallel fork step i have given end condition OverallID = 2.
    When i execute the scenario the messages are all comingin a queue. The status is wait for event.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks

  • XI3.0 BPM collect message using substring within correlation

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to collect a list of IDOCS using the first three characters of a field as a correlation.  I tried adding the XPATH expression
    substring(/ArticlePriceData/ArticlePrice/Site, 1, 3)
    within the correlation editor but this does not work - all IDOCS get added to a single process.  Has anybody been able to get this to work?  My integration process is based on the SAP example BpmPatternCollectMessage
    Many thanks
    Ian

    Hi,
    I have tried your suggestion and I still do not get the correlation value that I expect - now each message gets a new process ID with a correlation value of blank.
    Thanks for your help

  • After clicking "close" X, a message appears then disappears too quickly to read. It begins "Firefox will close now..." The word "security" appears in the next line. What is the rest of this message and should I be concerned about "security"?

    The full message that was almost impossible for me to read was: “'''Firefox will close now. Please standby while BetterPrivacy checks your hard disk for LSO cookies…'''”
    To see if your message is the same or different:
    1. Open Firefox
    2. Press and hold the Shift key with your left hand
    3. Close Firefox
    4. Then, as soon as the message appears, press the Print Screen key with your right hand

    6. A box with the full message should appear. If not, continue to open and close Firefox and hit Shift/Print Screen until you time it just right and the message will appear when you paste it into Paint
    There would not appear to be any security concerns with the message posted above
    There may be security concerns if your message is different.

  • Xpath in the collect message of BPM

    Hi,
    I created a BPM collect message. My source message has a field which is in the format of XXXX-NN such that XXXX can be any 4 letters and NN is a number 01 - 99. In the loop of the BPM, I made use of an Xpath command in the condition editor for the loop condition. The command is /header/segment1/segment2[(substring(field1,6,2))] for the left hand operand and comparing it as not equal to a counter variable.
    When I look at my graphical workflow log, there is an error in the Transformation step. In SXMB_MONI, I have a red flag with an error of "Message has error status on outbd. side" in the process view of SXMB_MONI.
    If I change the Xpath command to /header/segment1/segment2/field1 and change the value of my field to just use NN without changing anything else, my BPM is working properly. Is there something wrong with the added Xpath command? I followed the blog in /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/06/07/customise-your-xpath-expressions-in-receiver-determination but I wonder if this only works for Receiver Determination. Please help.
    Regards,
    Elbert

    Hi Elbert,
    the expression
    means a condition and requires a
    =
    For example:
    [//person/name[../no='123'] code]
    means: select element person/name where person/no "123" is.
    Because of unclear results regarding the namespace i wouldnt put the full path. Use for example [code]substring(//segment2/field,6,2)
    The substring expression is ok, i m shure.
    <b>substring(X-Path on String value, No of letter in string, length of searched substring)</b>
    If the string is not long enough, it might give you strange errors, he, he. Cant cut 1m of 20 cm salami.

  • ** File to Mail through BPM - Holding Messages

    Hi Friends,
    We are running File to Mail scenario in our PRD server. We use BPM design to collect messages and grouping it send to mail id with XL attachments.
    Some of the messages are in Holding state i.e from the BPM to Mail adapter.  I have compared the successful messages payload similar to the holding messages payload. There is no difference. Both payload are correct.
    When I resend the holding message, it tries to resend and again going into holding state. I am not able to trace out the reason. Because, the 'To' address is same, body of the content is same (except value).
    Do I need to check anything in BPM side ?
    Can you help me to identify this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Jegathees P.

    Hi,
    Does the messages are gng to hold state in the Mail Adapter Receiver??
    If so nthng needs to be done in BPM..
    But instead u need to check the Mail adapter Receiver.....
    In message monitoring fr this interface and namespace please check if any previos messages are struk in queue..
    Check by changing the dates of previos also and delete them....
    Once u delete all the messages previos error status... now run end to end.. u will get all the mails...
    If still any prblm.. do post
    If any question you are closing, please do also post the resolution you found..... So that others can benifit from that
    and we can avoid repeated question

  • "Bridge is running low on memory and should be restarted" error

    I am running Bridge CS4 on a DELL T-1650 with plenty of hard drive space.  I am having trouble with indexing / caching files.  My computer is connected to a large office server with a large amount of files that I need to be able to search.  I recieve a "Bridge is running low on memory and should be restarted" error each time I attempt to index the files on the server drive.  I have tried Purge and Cache, set the cache memory slider to max.  This is a very large amount of files (TB ) to index /cache.  I leave the computer running overnight to allow ample time, I nothing on my TB hard drive , and have 16GB of available RAM.  Any ideas?

    …My computer is connected to a large office server…
    Aha!  Working over a network is not supported by Adobe.
    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Splitting and Collecting Messages

    Hi,
    I have a scenario in which I get a message from SAP. In this message their are multiple item structures and 1 header structure. Now I have to sent these items to a WS seperately and collect the messages  from the WS response in one message with a header.
    Something like:
    Receive Message -> split message (message mapping) -> send all to WS / receive response for everyone -> collect messages from response in a new message -> send the new message to another WS
    How can I do this in BPM?

    Hi Chris,
    Your design should be like this:
    Start --> Receive --> Transform1 (Do the split and multimapping) -->  Send Step1 (Synchronous) --> Send 2 (Send Response from send1 to the output) --> Stop.

  • Collect Messages using BPM

    Hi all,
            Am doing a collect message pattern using BPM. After collecting messages wen mapping is called its throwing exception. CAn you help me out in this. I ll explain.
    the input i give is :
    <Root>
           <Name> asd </name>
           <ID> A </ID>
    </Root>
    i sent thid message 5 times to BPM (using collect pattern).
    the stop message is of the format
    <Stop>
       <ID> A</ID>
    </Stop>
    wen i send this the collect block is exited and the flow comes  to a transformation step which does a n:1 mapping
    ie. in my mapping i add the source message type and changed its occurence to unbounded in messages Similarly in IM also i changed the occurence of source MI to unbounded. wen i test the message mapping with this
    <Root>
           <Name> asd </name>
           <ID> A </ID>
    </Root>
    as input it gives the exception. But if i gve like this ten its showing successful.

  • XI BPM Collect Meassages Scenario with one Message as an optional

    Hi guys,
    I need help to implement XI BPM Scenario with Collect Messages Pattern. Here is my Scenario. I am getting four different types of flat files from four interfaces. Using these four files I need to merge using correlation relation and finally have to create One IDoc type to send it to SAP R/3.
    But out of these four messages last Message type is an Optional Message. i.e the process has to continue even if forth message is not available by taking first three messages.
    Please let me know which pattern is suitable for this scenario.
    Thanks.
    Siva.

    Hi,
    I hope u are receiving four different interfaces.Have a local container variable of simple type integer.you put a fork with four branches after the start step.Each branch has a receive step corresponding to one interface. Then after each of the receive step in each branch put a container operation performing some action on the container variable may be incrementing.so in the end condition of the fork check the value of the container variable i.e you can check if that variable is 3(three of the interfaces have been got).so this ensures that ur fork doesnot wait for all the four.hope this works.
