BPM Container operation not executed

Hi
We have a scenario where several Idocs are to be collected to one flat file. I have set up a time loop in BPM to receive idoc (abstract), map idoc to flat file, add flat file to flat_file_list (container operation, append). After 2 minutes the loop ends, and the flat_file_list is mapped to a flat file and sends the flat file to the connected legacy system, via the file adapter.
Most of the process steps work just fine, but the files are not appended into one file. All mappings are correct, and the FTP adapter correctly sends the files to the FTP server.
Using the Business Process Engine monitoring I see that all interfaces receive the messages, all mappings are done, but there are no steps for the container operation! Should this container operation be visible in the monitor?
So it seems that everything is working except the bundling of messages. Does anyone have any experience with this?
The container operation is setup as following:
Step name: AddMsgToLst
Target: FlatFileList
Operation: Append
Expression: FlatFile (which is the flat file I am mapping the idoc to)
Any help is highly appreciated!

Hi Robin
Thanks for your message. After I insert a new step and save the process, I can't activate the process from the sxi_cache. It says that the Cache entry for directory process is already up-to-date.
I have tried both with activating first in repository and not activating the process, but in both cases the sxi_cache says it's up-to-date.
Any suggestions?

BPM send step not executed in BPM (after Message split)

Hello everybody,
we use BPM:
We have a paralell Block which should send the rows of a multiline element. In SXMB_BPE_MONI the send step is not executed?
Any idea?
Thanks lot, regards Mario

HI,
Go to SXMB_MONI_BPE->and check the workflow log (technical details).and go to SXI_CACHE and check the return code of the Integration Process. It should be zero. If not try to activate the same
If there is no error then go with like this-
Also check the Syntax in Integration Repository with F7. Change the IP and activate it. If there is no syntax errors.
Then reimport the IP into Directory and then test your scenario

Container Operation not working properly

Hi,
In my workflow, container operation is not working properly sometime.
I am assigning agents from class attribute to workflow container . sometime the value is not correct.
scenario: class attribute - WFAGENT - value USABC
workflow container: WFAGENT_VAR.
assigning class attribute - WFAGENT to workflow container: WFAGENT_VAR.
instead of USABC, workflow container WFAGENT_VAR is having value as USWF-BATCH.
Please suggest.
Thank you.
Regards.
SG

Hi,
It is fairly logical to exclude the option that the container operation doesnt not only work but also that it passes on different information all of a sudden.
In your situation, either the class attribute has the incorrect information at the time of the containeroperation.
That, or your workflow container gets overwritten with another container operation,or with a binding from method-->container element in some step in your workflow.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Problem in BPM Container Operation - SP14

Hi all!
Just upgraded to SP14 - since then I am no longer able to grab some Payload information of involved messages and put it to some simple container variables within BPM!
I always get the error message: "<b>The Value of Expression '&<MessageVarName>.<Element>&' Cannot Serve As the Source of an Assignment</b>" in the Workflow Activation Protocol within SXI_CACHE (return code "99") - however Activation and Check of the BPM design within the Integration Builder works fine ...
Does anybody have an idea how to avoid this? Anyone of you experiencing the same problem in SP14?
Many thanks,
Andi

Hi Ian!
Note "890760" helped to be able to assign Payload information to Container Variables as well.
It does NOT provide a solution for assigning the context object <b>"ProcessStep"</b> which should be available in the BPE to a container variable (same error) - but therefore I guess I will open a new post!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Container Operation step in User Decision

Hi,
I have used one set container operation step in one of the user decision task. But it seems it is not working inside the user decision step.
I have checked the SWI1 log as well, but it is bypassing it.(screen shot attached from Workflow and SWI1).
Please sugegst that can we use container operation step inside the user decision task.
SWI1 log as well ( Not setting the variabl)e
Regads,
Priyanka

Hi,
check if in the workflow definition you mention if this step should be shown in the log or not. Also make sure using the technical details option in the workflow log that indeed the container operation was executed or not.
If everything seems correct, but still in execution it skips something, then your workflow definition might be corrupt, either fix it by deleting the step in development, saving it and then recreating it. Or if it was corrupted after transport you could try your luck with function module SWD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999.

BPM : Files are not appended in the container operation step

Hi Guys,
I am using the BPM pattern, "BpmPatternCollectTime" provided by the SAP under SAP BASIS 6.4 for the N:1 transformation.
In the the Message mapping and Interface mapping source structure has "0 to unbounded" occurance and Target has 1 coourances.. I have given the Time as 5 Minutes to collect the messages...
I dont know why the files are not being appened? Each time am getting the only one file's content as output other files contents(records) are not being merged.
Is there anything wrong in the given BPM pattern? or i need to do any changes in the container operation step ?
can anybody explain why the messages are not appending into a single file. any help would be really appreciated...
Can anybody guide me , how can i debug the BPM?
Thanks and Regards
Venkatesh

Hi Raj,
The Source and target structure are the same ie, BpmPatternCollectMessageToBeCollected..
Structure is
    BpmPatternCollectToBeCollected
    ID
    OverallNumber
In SAP BASIS 6.4 , In the message maaping you can find the
"BpmPatternCollectMerge". I am using the same mapping..
The mapping contains the Source field mappings for field element ID and OverallNumber to the same field in the Target.
After selecting Source's occurance for 0 to unbounded , In the mapping the tool itself is adding two extra nodes as below...
Messages
Message1
    BpmPatternCollectToBeCollected
    ID
    OverallNumber
Mapping is
Source Structure ->Target Structure
Messages (1)                  Messages (1)
Message1 (1)                  Message1 (1)
BpmPatternCollectToBeCollected (0-unbound) BpmPatternCollectToBeCollected (1)
    ID (1)-------> ID (1)
    OverallNumber    (1)-------> OverallNumber
The line indicates above the mapped fields...ID and OverallNumber is only mapped above.

Files are not appended in the container operation step ?

Hi Guys,
I have a BPM scenario where i receive a single file with multiple transactions
1. Receive step receives the file and starts the process
2 Transformation Step - Splits the file into individual transactions
3. Block step --ForEach - Block has the follow 2 steps
        1. Send - Synchronus - sends the request of each individual transaction to a 3rd party system and receives the response.
       2. Container Operation: Appending all the responses into a single file.
    Properties of container operation:
Target: Multiline element (Block level element)
    Operation: Append
    Expression: Single element similar to structure above with out multiline.
4. Send Step: I am writing this file locally to a file and this always shows only the last transaction in case of ParForEachMode and first transaction in the case of ForEach mode.
can anybody explain why the messages are not appending into a single file. any help would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Liang,
Check to see if the Sync Send step send every reply messages it received to container operation step:
You might need to remove the container operation to see if you receive each individual msgs.
> I have removed the container operation and i am able to see all the individual responses which i basically written to file just to cross check and every thing looks fine.
Another way to go to workflow log (Complete Process with all the steps) to get debug information:
SXMB_MONI -> Click "PE" under outbound queue -> Press "Display WorkFlow Log" button -> Click List with technical details -> Click Show Work item Container
Here you can see the container and XML message used in this process step.
You might have information on how message be processed in this step
> I have checked in the workflow log and workflow shows the container operation only in the case of ParForEach mode and when the block is in the ForEachMode i dont see any container operation step in the workflowlog and even in the ParForEach mode the container operation dosent have any details.
Your Container Element reference to response message should also defined in block level, since the response message only exist inside the block. However, using process level container element should not cause any problem
> I have defined the response messsage at block level in the container and the target i have defined it as multiline element defiend at process level. This multiline element is taken as input in the transformation step at prrocess level.
are there any other alternatives for this process, i dont understand why the container operation is not appending the elments.
any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
srini

Container operation BPM

Hi ,
This question is on container operation inside the BPM (PI 7.0 sorry a bit outdated here )
why is it that in a container operation you can set a simple type variable to any tag in the payload but not the other way round .
Is it possible to set an XML tag in a payload with the value in a simple type variable .

Hi Robin
Thanks for your message. After I insert a new step and save the process, I can't activate the process from the sxi_cache. It says that the Cache entry for directory process is already up-to-date.
I have tried both with activating first in repository and not activating the process, but in both cases the sxi_cache says it's up-to-date.
Any suggestions?

Container operation step in BPM using context object

Hi all,
in my BPM I have a send step using the file adapter. The file adapter builds a dynamic filename.
Now I want to have the filename back into an acknowledgement. First, I need it in the container, right?
So after the send step, I have a container operation step as follows:
target: simple string
mode: assign or append, doesn't matter
expression: In expression editor, I select Interface variable 'message', then context object 'FileName' from namespace http://sap.com/xi/XISystem/File
This should be the filename from the fileadapter, right?
In SXI_Cache, I get return code 99:
The Value of Expression '&MESSAGE.FILENAME&' Cannot Serve As the Source of an Assignment
Why is there a context object, if you can' t use it??

As far as I know, the filename in the Dynamic Header will be lost in when the message enters the BPM.
As a work around, make a mapping at the Interface Determination level that reads the filename from the SOAP header and sets it into the payload which can be accessed inside the BPM.
Reason the way I see this that the BPM does not store the filename is ,
1. What if you have multiple receive steps in the BPM with a fork.
2. How would the context object know which filename you want to read?
The reason you see this in the context object is because all Context Objects are the info you get from the Adapter metadata.

Container Operation in BPM

Hi,
I have a BPM that should change a message with a container operation. The message got the structure:
message
|-errorcode
is it possible to fill the errorcode (string) with a container operation? It is an abstract interface. Or is a container operation only possible with a simple xsd-data type?
I tried it with an abstract interface, but don't understand how to fill the expression.
thanks
chris

Ok, I guess this, but points for you.
I tried now to do following:
S/A-Bridge open -> transformation step -> S/A-Close
In transformation I mapped request to response, but if I check the BPM he tells me, that the repsonse container is initializied, but not used ?!? Why? In closing S/A-Bridge I use the response.
thanks

Time Variable in Container Operation in BPM

hi,
how can we add a time variable in container operation in BPM?
Say i want to increment the time upto 5 hours and see if it has reached in my loop.
how can we achieve this?
Tiru

henrique -
I have a block with a timeout defined.
Within the block i have the deadline with control step which triggers the exception
I have the exception handler which has a send step which sends the actual error message.
I have a send step which polls the http receiver and is in a infinite loop.
Now the first time i receive an error message i get an email which is good and should work that way.
Next time if it errors out it should continue until a deadline of 8 hours and then should send out an error email.
What happens is i get the second error message immediately without the deadline getting exceeded.
When i look at the workflow log the exception handler gets executed but i don't see a sign of the deadline getting executed?
Any reasons why its behaving this way?
Thanks,
Tiru

Store Filename in Container Operation of BPM?

Hi,
Is it possible to store filename in Container Operation of BPM step? I know that using mapping and assigning that field to Container Operation can be done.
But, is it possible to do without using payload field assignment?
Regards,
Ashish

That seems to be the only possible way. Bcoz the filename in the dynamic header is lost when the message enters BPM.

Calling a WS from a servlet...EndpointPort does not contain operation meta.

Hi all,
I'm trying to call a service from a servlet but I get an error:
Error: Endpoint {http://com.susan/SusanWS}SusanWebServiceEndpointPort does not contain operation meta data for: LoginWebService
...the WS is up and running (of this I'm sure...cause I also tested it with soapui...and it works..)
The webservice is running on a local jboss (to which i can successfully connect, and see the wsdl...).
the servlet is running on a local tomcat (which is also ok...).
I'm trying to call the WS like this:
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call)service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new URL( wsEndpoint ) ); //http://localhost:8080/webservices/SusanWS (the same I used in soapui...so it should be right)
call.setOperationName( "LoginWebService"); //name of the method i want to use...
call.addParameter( "appCode", Constants.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
call.addParameter( "login", Constants.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
call.addParameter( "passwd", Constants.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
// call.setReturnType( Constants.XSD_INT ); //left this out...should be the cause...
Object retval = call.invoke( new String[] { appCode, login, passwd} ); //appCode,login,passwd contain the strings i want to forward as input.if I try to run it I get(in the jboss log...):

How to execute contain operation in sequences?

Hi,I am confused about sequences,it seems java.util.Collection more convenient,so why need sequences.
and how can I do a contain operation on sequences?if use indexof operator,how to determin object equals?how to implements equals method in javafx object?

One way to determine whether or not a Sequence contains an element is to implement a Comparator (or have the element implement Comparable) and use the javafx.util.Sequences.binarySearch function.
I don't have access to a compiler at the moment, but something like this should work:
import javafx.util.Sequences;
var strings: String[] = [
        "Hello",
        "World",
        "Goodbye"
//Sequence needs to be sorted for us to be able to determine whether or not it contains a given string with a binary search. String already implements Comparable, so we do not need to use a comparator.
strings = Sequences.sort(strings);
//Now determine whether or not this sequence contains the specified string.
var containsString: Boolean = (Sequences.binarySearch(strings, "Hello") != -1); //This should return true.I haven't tried overriding equals, but I've overridden toString() just fine, so you can probably do that in a similar way:
public class MidiInstrument {
    public-init var name: String;
    public-init var bank: Integer;
    public-init var program: Integer;
     * Overrides toString to ensure that the ChoiceBox used to choose an instrument can display this item as a string.
    public override function toString(): String {
        return name;
}
