BPM - Interact with external system

Hi Experts,
We are implementing a project with BPM Suite Version 1.1.1.6 (PS5). A requirement is the following things:
- The BPM process begins through a human task.
- Upon completion of the human task, the flow must interact asynchronously with an external system through a webservice. The BPM system sends data to external system.
- The user interacts with the external system and runs a couple of tasks.
- After completing the activities in the external system, the BPM should be receiving an event to continue with the main flow was in wait.
The question is....as an external system can reactivate a BPM process that is in wait hoping the event.
Thank you very much.

Investigate the use of the Call activity. If the external process is long-running, you might use a Service activity in conjunction with correlations.

RFC with External system

Hi,
We are trying to develop interface with external system to calculate the shipping costs for a delivery. We will establish RFC connection between SAP and External system.
Do we need SAP .NET connector to send and receive data from/to SAP. SAO shouls act as client and external system as server. If we have to use SAP .NET connectore, can anyone explain me the detailed process of using SAP .NET connector and connecting to external system.If there is anyother way without using SAP .NET connector, i.e by using RFC function modules, can you please xplain that process too. What is the program ID for RFC destination in SM59?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ashok.

setting the program id you need a person with the knowledge of both the system, with the current input it will be difficult to help with that.
since you are in 4.6C the available options are
1. DCOM connector
2. .net connect
3. JCO
4. or a plain http call to your external system.

Interaction with operating system

Hi!
I want to know how shuold i interact with operating system using java.Actually i m implementing speech to text converter and for that i want to use control panel of windows. so please tell me how i can interact with operating system.

Use either the methods of the Runtime class or use JNI (Java-Native-Interface)
There are many examples of each, and JNI has a separate forum, Native Methods. Search both Sun documentation and the forums.

Interact with extern process by Runtime.exec()

Hi,
I want interact with a extern process by Runtime.exec(), but I don't Know the way for introduce the params required for the extern process.
So, Is posible, interact with the extern process from Java?
Thanks

Exactly, I would like to know how exec can pass a PIN
number when the proccess already has been launched. Sounds like you're doing it through the process' stdin. Read that article I linked.
You'll have to call Process.getOutputStream() or whatever that method is. To you it's an OutputStream, to the process, it's input. You'll write the stuff to that stream that you'd type to the command line. If you want to get that from the user interactively, you'll do it like you would any interactive user input in any Java program--get it by reading System.in or from some GUI element, and then take that and write it to the process' stream.
If you're not familiar with I/O in Java, look here:

Integration of Financials with external systems

Hi,
I am strugling with an implementation where the client is not sure if Oracle Financials suits his business processes
Overview of situation on Hand:
We do not have the product installed as yet at the client site
Products of Oracle Financials to be used :General Ledger, Account Receivable, Account Payable, Fixed Assets,India Localization Patch
Products of Oracle Applications NOT available for use :
Purchasing, Inventory, Order Management
(All these areas are being covered by developing a customized Bespoke system)
1.     Is it possible to use Oracle India Localizations (with regards to the excise functionality, for e.g. claiming of ModVat, the various excise registers that are to be maintained for e.g. RG23 A, RG23C,etc ) in the above situation (without implementing Purchasing, Inventory, and Order Management?).
2.     Further, while passing the Vendor’s Bills (in Oracle Payables), one of the criteria for PO Matching is to check if the ModVat has been claimed. Is this functionality available in Payables with the India localization patch?
3.     Does Oracle India localization cater for VAT requirements?
4.     Is an Open Interface available to transfer Purchase Order data from external systems to Oracle Purchasing tables (which are shared by Oracle Payables the names being PO_HEADERS, PO_LINES, PO_LINES_LOCATIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_AP_V (VIEW OF PO_DISTRIBUTIONS), PO_RELEASES (Blanket Purchase Orders), PO_LOOKUP_CODES) at transactional frequency? However, if the oracle purchasing module is not being used, can the interface tables of Purchasing be used?
5.     An open interface (Payables Open Interface) is available in Oracle Payables to import the Invoices from external systems. While importing these invoices, does the system expect to have the Purchase Order data in the PO tables mentioned in the point above?
6.     Is an Open Interface available to transfer Quantity Received/Accepted data from external systems to PO_line_locations table to enable carrying out of 2/3/4 way matching of Purchase orders with invoices? Can the 4 way mathcing be carried out in AP by just importing Purchase Order data??
7.     Can the Credit Card Transaction Interface be used for uploading employee expenses / advances settlement (not carried out via credit card) directly from feeder system?
8.     Is it possible to use Open Item interface (including import concurrent program) even though Inventory module is not being installed ? If yes, then we would like to use this interface for updating Item master from bespoke system..
9.     Can Auto Invoice API be used to import invoices from feeder system / legacy system (via RA interface Tables) into the Oracle receivable invoice tables? Is order number as column a prerequisite for successful completion of Auto Invoice API?
10. Where should the Masters be kept....OF of Bespoke
eg. Employee master, Inventory Item Master etc.
11. What is the best strategy for keeping the data in Bepoke and OF related to Masters in sync?
I have got various answers to these questions .....but some seem to contradict each other.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks,
Kamana

Dear Kamana,

Interacting with Operating System

Does anyone know if Java has the ability to interact with the OS to filter print jobs and IO operations initiated from other applications?
I need to write an application that acts as as a filter to prevent Netscape from printing and/or saving files.
Thanks

No, Java doesn't do things like that, that are specific to the operating system. You would be far better off to use a low-level language specific to the operating system you have in mind.

Connection with external System using AS2/SFTP adapter.

Hi All,
I need to use SFTP/AS2 to connect to an external Server which is not in our landscape.
Can anybody could help whether i need to create a party on the Sender side as sender system is an external Server.
I have gone through many docs but i am not clear when to use party and when not..?
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul
Whether to use a party or not is both an architectural question as well as a development question.
Architecturally, if an external server is not in your landscape and belongs to a different company/entity, your scenario would be a B2B process. You can refer to the below link for more details about B2B, but I've included a short snippet below too.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/c7a475da5e31ebe10000000a42189b/content.htm
Using a communication party, you address a company that is involved in a B2B process.
The (technical) name of the communication party (for example Bosch) is the identifier for the company within an Integration Directory. To be able to identify the company during any external communication using a globally unique ID, you specify alternative identifiers for a communication party. For external communication, the name of the communication party that is known internally is mapped to the ID. A particular identifier is specified in the communication channel (see below).
In terms of development, not all adapters (FTP, SFTP, SOAP, etc) require the use of a party object when you develop a B2B integration scenario. There are companies which have implemented all B2B scenarios using those adapters in an A2A style (using just Business Systems.)
As Harish has mentioned, if you use the Seeburger AS2 adapter, you will need the party object (AS2ID is configured there), but if you use the SFTP adapter, it is optional.
For your case, I'd recommend going with Party to clear distinguish that it is a B2B process.

Interface with external system

Hello Experts,
The query i am posting is very naive and mite seem vague to you but I am doing it for a sure shot methodological approach. My client have an vendor system that they want to interface. All the information I have is
1> I will get the XML schema frm the guys of that company.
2> XI is installed in my company.
Can you tell me wat all things i need to configure and how can i go about achieving this?
thanks and please advise me,
Mehta

Hi Gaurav,
you will have to provide more details like who is your sender, who is your receiver etc....
i would recommend that you go through the SAP help documentation and follow the pipeline steps.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
You will have to perform the basic steps to get your thing (XSD) into XI.
1. In the Integration Builder - Integration Repository; You take your XSD provided by the vendor and create an interface out of it. This depends whether your vendor is sending (Outbound Interface) or receiving (Inbound Interface) the data.
2. Then add this interface to your service in the configuration (Integration Directory).

Attendance recording integration with external system

Hi,
there is a scenario where an employee punches in and out to enter and leave his office. This information like employee number, date, mode(in/out) etc is collected in a flat file. How this information can be captured in R/3? Do we need IDOC or XI or both or BAPI? kindly respond.
Regards,
Murali.

Hi,
You have to maintain Infotype 0050 and to upload the information you can use BDC or any other interface ( time in time outs will be writtten to the table CCITYEV and after processing will be stored in TEVEN table.)
You need an ABAP program that can transfer data from third party systen to R/3. This is the simplest way. Without XI we can integrate the system.
This can be done in so many ways .
Warm Regards,
Kapil Kaushal
