BPM in Integration Scenario

Hi Everybody,
I have some queries on BPM in Integration Scenario.
In the BPM i will be using
1.A Receive step to collect the data from database.
2.A synchronous send step to send a request and get the response from the same database.
3.Finally a send step to send the data out of BPM to another system.
Somebody can guide me about how to incorporate BPM in the integration scenario(how many actions i need to create for the BPM).
Expecting your replies.
Thanks,
Zabiulla

Hey Mohammed,
you'll have 3 application components:
1. database;
2. BPM;
3. the 3rd system.
The actions you need are:
1. sending action (outbound async interface) @ database;
2. receiving action (abstract async interface) @ bpm;
3. sending action (abstract sync interface) @ bpm;
4. receiving action (inbound sync interface) @ database;
5. sending action (abstract async interface) @ bpm;
6. receiving action (inbound async interface) @ 3rd system.
The connections you need are:
1. async connection between database & BPM;
2. sync connection between BPM & database;
3. async connection between BPM & 3rd system.
Regards,
Henrique.

Configuration Scenario for BPM Using Integration Scenario

hi All,
I Have an Scenario where i am using BPM. Most of the blog tells about manually creating all Configuration objects. I had created an Integration Scenario for this scenario by referring to the earlier threads available for same.
Hoe to Create Integration Scenario for BPM Scenario
Integration Scenario in BPM and few more.
My IS looks like
Sender App Component - Integration Process - Receiver App Component
Now when i am trying to create Configuration scenario for same using model configurator, i am getting Model as "Not Configurable"
And when i click "Configurability Check" Button, i am getting below as status:
Component view IS_POC_BPM: Connection from receivePayload to getABSPayload does not have an inbound service interface
Component view IS_POC_BPM : Connection from sendABSPayload to getPayload has no outbound interface
getABSPayload and sendABSPayload are actions for Abstract interfaces.
IS_POC_BPM is the Integration Process Name.
Also in Integration Scenario, when i create connection between sender action to BPM action there is no inbound interface coming. And viceversa.
Please help me in identifying if i am doing any thing wrong in creating this scenario.
Is it possible to create Configuration Scenario for BPM Using Integration Scenario?
Thanks,

I think you shoudl refer the available Integration Scenarios created for BPMs in IR --> SAP BASIS --> http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns
Sender template will have the Action with Outbound Service Interface and then in the BPM Template the action will have Inbound Interface.....then within the BPM itself this inbound will be mapped to Action with Abstract Interface
may be after looking the Integration scenarios you will get more idea

BPM with integration Scenario

Hi Folks,
    I have designed a BPM scenario. Every thing is done but I dont know how to create a integration scenario when we are using an Integration process. My scenario is a simple BPM merge scenario. I have 2 messages as input and merging those messages into one as the input. I have 6 message interfaces like :
MSG_OB_ASYNC_1       -    Outbound Interface 1
MSG_OB_ASYNC_2       -    Outbound Interface 1
MSG_IB_ASYNC             -    Inbound Interface
MSG_AB_ASYNC_1       -    Abstract Interface
MSG_AB_ASYNC_2       -    Abstract Interface
MSG_AB_ASYNC_3       -    Abstract Interface
Kindly suggest the solution.
Regards,
   Santosh

Hi Santosh,
Create 3 application components as suggested above and create the required number of actions based on the number of message interface.
Create two 2 Async connection . 1 sender to BPm and 2 BPM to receiver.
the following will help in understanding the integration scenario designing .

Integration Scenario in BPM

My Scenario is
PI7.1 -->PI7.0 -- > Webservice --->response from bpm to another system.
iam doing the above scenario in BPM, I have some queries on BPM in Integration Scenario.
In the BPM iam using
1.A Receive step to collect the data from XI 7.1
2.A transformation step to append the file to the i/p payload from PI 7.1.
3.A send async to write the payload into R3.
4.A transformation step for the value mapping.
5.A synchronous send step to send a request and get the response from the webservice.
6.Finally a send asynch step to send the data out of BPM to another system.
Somebody Please guide me about how to incorporate BPM in the integration scenario(how many actions,application components and connections do i need to create for the BPM).
Expecting your replies.
Thanks
Srinivas
Edited by: Srinivas on Mar 10, 2010 1:01 PM

4 Application components would be for PI 7.1, BPM, R3, Webservice and if your final system is not among the 4 mentioned, then one component for that system too.
Connections:
Async with PI 7.1
Async with R3
Sync with Webservice
Async with final system
Actions would be required for all sending and receiving tasks.

How to use objects from other SWCs in my BPM Integration Scenario

Dear all,
I am experiencing some difficulties with the following. I have created a BPM Integration Scenario in a SWC. It contains a tranformation step in which a message from that SWC is split and mapped to two IDOCs. These IDOCs are imported in anothern SWC which I use for common objects. I have created Abstract Message Interfaces based on these IDOCs in this "COMMON" SWC, but the probIem is that I cannot use them in my scenario in the other SWC. Even though I have a usage dependency (Installation Time) created to the "COMMON" SWC.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
Will happily provide points for good answers.
Auke

Thus, I would have to copy/import all objects to the same SWC?
Or create a separate SWC for BPM Integration scenarios?
I have tried to create the Abstract Message Interface in the SWC and reference it to the IDOC structure in the "COMMON" SWC. This results in a reference to an invalid object during activation. Even though the defined usage dependency.
What's the standard solution?
Cheers,
Auke

Problem with Integration Scenario involving BPM

Hello All
I've created simple async Integration Scenario.
Sender is SOAP, then message is being processed by BPM Integration Process (some simple mapping inside - for now it is just proof of concept - later on it will split messages etc.) . Receiver is JDBC adapter.
Now, when I test Sender-> BPM (using Test Configuration tool ) - works fine, no errors.
BPM -> Receiver - as well.
But when I'm trying to test Sender -> Receiver it fails (so it does when I call Sender webservice from external tool).
Error is:
Receiver Agreement
<Trace level="1" type="B">CL_XMS_PLSRV_OUTBINDING-ENTER_PLSRV</Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">O U T B O U N D - B I N D I N G </Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T"> Cache Content is up to date </Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">determine OUTBOUND BINDING for: </Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">-SENDER </Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">-RECEIVER </Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">http://company.com/xi/sn.DataOut </Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">error with outbound binding. </Trace> <Trace level="1" type="T">
No standard agreement found for , SENDER, RECEIVER, http://company.com/xi/sn, DataOutt </Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="E">CL_XMS_PLSRV_OUTBINDING-ENTER_PLSRV</Trace>
In fact there is no Receiver Agreement for this pair of sender-receiver, but in scenario those are connected via BPM.
What am I missing in configuration to force PI to send messages correctly?
TIA
Regards
Maciej

Hi Maciej,
If you are trying to test it from the RWB -> Component Monitring-> Integration Engine-> Test Message option, then you should not be giving the receiver system and interface details.
Just specify the details of the sender system, interface name and namespace.
Give the user id and pwd details.
Give the Quality of service as "Exactly Once".
Paste the payload and click on SEND button. (DO NOT GIVE THE RECEIVER SYSTEM details).
It will work.
Thanks and Regards,

Integration scenario with BPM

Hi all,
I have an integration scenario: iDoc -> XI -> iDoc,
On the XI I use a BPM process.
1. On the Repository:
I have designed the integration process on the IR, and imported the needed iDoc.
I have created an integration scenario which consists of two SAP R/3 SWC, and an XI3.0 SWC.
The XI3.0 is assigned to the integration process.
2. On the Directory:
I am using the wizard to configure the scenario.
I have assigned the R/3 SWC to the required business systems.
I have created a service named "ProcessBPM" for the integration process and assigned it to the XI SWC.
all other objects(receiver determination, interface determination... etc.) were created automatically by the wizard.
when I send the iDoc to the XI, I get an error on the SXMB_MONI:
Unable to convert sender service ProcessBPM to an ALE logical system.
What does this error mean ? What have I missed ?
Is this the way to do the described scenario ?
Thank you,
Elad.

Hi Elad,
one second
>>I have entered the logical system name of my XI,
you enter logical names for r3 business systems (idoc sender or receiver)
>>Logical system <LS_Name> already exists in service <Service_Name>".
they have to be unique
if you're using BMP - try replacing the business system in "header mapping" (sender system) in receiver agreement
(to your r3 - the one with the unique LS name) - this way you'll be able to use the name as many times as you want:)

BPM n:1 scenario(file-file). everything is fine.output file not genarating

Hi friends,
I am doing a BPM N:1 scenario,
1.my ip(integration process) is at status 0 in sxi_cache.
2.No problem with SWF_XI_CUSTOMIZING.
3.after running my 2 commumication channels for 2 input files the flag is correct(black n white) in MONI.
But when i see the file in destination directory , it's not appearing there.
Any suggestions???

Hello,
Check all the queues SM58, SMQ1, SMQ2. Check the RWB for the messages on the adapter engine.
Also, you will have to check the workflow log. Go thru the following steps.
Scroll the successful message in the monitor to the right to see columns like Inbound or Outbound. You will see a value PE in one of the column. On clicking it, you will go into the workflow log. Then, goto the technical details. You will see all the steps configured in the BPM and various tabs below which gives minute details about each step. Look for errors in any of the step bu going thru the details.
There might be the case that the mapping itself might have gone into error. Or some step inside the BPE is in a waiting mode.

Akshay

Multiple message mappings in one integration scenario

I am trying to send a message to a marketplace that uses a web service interface. First I have to map the SRM PO to OAGIS XML, then This must be embedded in the message of the web service which requires a further mapping. In the integration scenario in the repository it seems straight forward, however the configuration of the scenario in the directory seems a little strange. This becaue the middle step does not really have an eternal receiver, as it must stay in the integration engine until the final conversion. Is it actually possible to perform several mapping in series or must I use an integration process for the middle mapping?

Andrew,
I am addressing the same problem as follows.
If you need a canonical mapping (such as OAGIS in your example) you need 2 mappings for 3 messages A(source) to B(canonical) to C(target). If you try to use XI (without BPM) as an action between the source and the target need to configure a channel in and out which as far as I can see is not possible.
When setting multi-mapping you seem to only have the folowing options:
Multiple source and multiple targets but this seems to limit you to one mapping program.
Multiple mappings if I have only one source and one target.
I think this is designed to map one or many sources to one or many targets in one mapping program.
Also you can apply a series of mapping programs to a single source and target pair.
If I understand Michal's solution you would define A as the source and C as the target. You then use multi mapping to get to the final result, but I think this is still on a single source and target. A second solution is to include multiple mappings as additional modules in the channel adpator.
To take advantage of the canonical approach I am using a simple integration process with a receive and send step. All this realy does is get round the problem you highlight of having to have channels for the middle action in your integration scenario. This is an overhead but does allow you to add splitting and combining messages if needed in the future without much additional configuration.
I can't see an easy option without BPM. Maybe there is an alternative but I can't find it. Maybe a next release of XI could include an interface mapping configuration that allows a sequnce of mapping betweem multiple pairs of maps:
Seq Source -
Mapping Program   -
Target
1 -
Message A -
Mapping Program 1 -
    Message B
2 -
   Message B -
Mapping Program 2 -
    Message C
I hope this helps.

Antony

Integration Process in Integration Scenario

Hi All,
I am trying to create an Integration scenario which can be used at configuration time to create all the config object. But during configuration time, in Assign Services step in Integration Scenario Configurator, it is only showing Business Systems under the product, previously configured in SLD. But i want to use the Imported Integration Process as the sender service. Is it possible?
Also the Assign Service screen is showing Assign Business System Services for A2A configuration. But we are using B2B configuration sometimes. So is there any way to do this?

Hi
Thanks for the reply. The above switch problem is solved. But now I am facing a new problem. I am making a synchronous call to BAPI from my BPM. How can this be implemented in Integration Scenario.
So how can I send a input message from BPM to BAPI and then take further steps only after getting response from BAPI. Is there any way to define synchronous Action??? And another point to be noted is that we are not using any communication channel to send the message from BPM or receive the response in BPM. We have only a receiver communication channel which receives the message for the BAPI.
So please help in solving this problem.

Biranchi

Problem for Bapi Call in Integration Scenario

Hi
I am creating an Integration Scenario at Design time which can be used during configuration time.In the Int. Scenario, I am using a Int Process(BPM). I am making a synchronous call to BAPI from my BPM. How can this be implemented in Integration Scenario.
So how can I send a input message from BPM to BAPI and then take further steps only after getting response from BAPI. Is there any way to define synchronous Action in Int Scenario??? And another point to be noted is that we are not using any communication channel to send the message from BPM or receive the response in BPM. We have only a receiver communication channel which receives the message for the BAPI.
So please help in solving this problem.

> Thanks for ur reply. I am trying to follow the suggestion given by u. U have specified that the BAPI in R/3 system has to be inserted as an application component. But I am unable to do that. I am using IDES system for the BAPI,but in the selection screen for the Application Component we have only instances of installed product in the SLD. So how to find out the application component to be imported.
>
What you need to do is, first of all your import the BAPI (RFC) into XI system. (I hope you must be knowing how to import the RFC & IDOCs into XI system). Make sure this BAPI is remote-enabled under attribute TAB in R3 ---> SE37.
Now this imported BAPI (RFC) will be used in your message interfaces and this message interface will be used inside ACTION. And then you can use this action in your Integration Secnario as mentioned in the picture above in my first reply.
Sorry for the confusion, you need to R3 business system name rather inserting the BAPI as a business system under 3rd swim lane.
> And another problem is that I have to create an action for in the application Component containing BAPI and then it should be connected to the action in BPM for interaction. I have created one action for this and given the BAPi as both outbound and inbound interface. Is this the proper way to do this???
>
As mentioned above, after you import the BAPI (RFC) in XI you can create the messge interface. There should be two Message Interfaces. One for sending the request and other for receiving the response message.

Sarvesh

Integration Processes within Integration Scenario

The process I need to model is as follows:
SRM XML PO => OAG XML PO => Embeded OAG XML PO in another message.
I have looked at trying to use an integration process to handle the first conversion and then a regular interface mapping for the 2nd. However despite creating the Integration process in the same software component as the Integration Scenario I get nothing in the drop down list when searching for the Integration process in the Application Component definition. Even if I try to create a new integration process from within the Application component I get an error saying that the SCV of the integration process and the SCV of the Application component are not the same
Does any one have any suggestions

Hi Rajasekar,
       Hope u do fine.
   Ur not mentioned any of ur requirement.
   In BPM scenarios only we can create the INTEGRATION PROCESS.
   In REPOISTERY--> we can design the INTEGRATION PROCESS.
   In DIRECTORY--> Service can installed the Directory.

Integration scenario in rep

hi,
i'm creating an integration scenario inthe repository. B2B. the scenari has two action one which picks a file and pother which drops a file. i'm creating the applicaiton component as template. after doing the entire configuration when i import it in directory and when i'm tryin assign communcation channel for the first action its showing communaction channel not required. but it is required. i've created the party, service and communcatio channle in the directory. and the sender party and sender service is being properly assigned from the integration scenario editor. anybody can suggest something.. please.
regards,
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
it is necessary to add the required interfaces into the /servicesparties (including BPM service) in the directory, which are connected to the process.
receiver agreements are not stand alone but connected to interfaces.
Possibly this will solve your problem!

Integration scenario in XI Content Package (Certification)

Hi,
During the design of an integration scenario for certication of XI-Content you have to define the application components. Should all application components be defined as "templates"???
In my case I have to define an integration scenario between an SAP product/component (not part of the SLD) and a third party software...
Thanks and regards!

Hi Christian,
if you use standard IDoc's delivered by SAP you should take them from software component SAP APPL (in case of R/3 IDoc's). If you need to use them in a BPM scenario, just create a dependency to this software component. Without BPM the dependency is not necessary.
If your IDoc's are specific to the industry solution O&G, the IDoc's are probably not yet uploaded by SAP. In this case you should contact ICC and the will take care of this issue (either they make sure that the IDoc's are available by SAP or they tell you to upload them into your SWC).

Claus

Regarding Integration Scenario and Communication Channel Template

Dear All,
1.What is the purpose of creating Integration Scenario in IR?Is it compulsary to create Integration Scenario in Every Case?(I mean Scenario not using BPM and Scenario using BPM).
2.What is the purpose of creating Communication Channel Template in IR?
3.If we create Communication Channel Template in IR?Do we need to utilize that Communication Channel Template for creating Communication Channel in ID?
4.IF we have created Integration Scenario in IR,and we transfered that Scenario from IR to ID,then Do we need to create Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination?or will they automatically created?
Please clarify my doubts.Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ramana.

Hi Ramana,
1.What is the purpose of creating Integration Scenario in IR?Is it compulsary to create Integration Scenario in Every Case?(I mean Scenario not using BPM and Scenario using BPM).
>>> For graphical overview about the sceanrio.It is not compulsary to create Integration Sceanrio.
2.What is the purpose of creating Communication Channel Template in IR?
>>> In integration scenario while creating the connection between two actions u need to specify the communication channel templates for Sender and Receiver.
3.If we create Communication Channel Template in IR?Do we need to utilize that Communication Channel Template for creating Communication Channel in ID?
>>>You can utilize these templates in ID.After completion to creating the configuration sceanrio need to modify the parameters of the channels.
4.IF we have created Integration Scenario in IR,and we transfered that Scenario from IR to ID,then Do we need to create Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination?or will they automatically created?
>>> From Tools-->Transfer Integration sceanrio from Integration Repository, From input help choose the sceanrio,Continue and click on Finish ,with the same name the configuration scenaro will create in ID.You need to follow the Confiuration steps like Assign services , here need to choose u r source & target business systems and Configure Connections in this step you can cross check the interfaces,mapping,channel templates involved in this sceanrio and Generate. It would automatically generates Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination. It would shown to u Generation Log, here you can check what are the objects generated and if there are any errors it would shown Number of errors.
By setting the appropriate channel parameters, activate all objects from change list.Now u can able to test the sceanrio.
However in latest version it is not compulsoary to create Integration sceanrio in IR and to the above things.You can use Configuration Wizard to do all these things or you can do these mauvally.
Hope it will helps to clear u r doubts.
