BPM: read value of simple container variable in mapping

Hi everybody,
is this possible via UDF?
Regards Mario

Hi Mario,
maybe you can (mis-)use dynamic attributes of a message: Set a dynamic attribute in a UDF for the message, where you want to set the value. In a later mapping, you can read the attribute again.
Not very nice, I know, but maybe helpful. But you will need a message mapping to set the variable.

Can we set a default value for the container variable in BPM?

Can we set a default value for the container variable.?
Suppose if i have a loop step and i have given a container variable i=5 as end condition.What value will it take during its first execution?Can we set the value for container before a recieve step?

Hi
Define Container Variable of Type integer and Category Simple Type .Use Condtion in Loop.
In Container Operation Step Assign value and Use Expression to
Increase or Decrease Valus according to your operation.
look Pattern 4 in this blog to understand Container Operation

Integration Process: using simple containger-variable in mapping

Hi,
I am storing a simple string in an container-variable of an receiving interface (ID).
ID: Type String
At a later time I want to use this container-variable in a later mapping:
IF1 ->   IF2
a    ->   c
b    ->   d
> f <<== here I want to use a container-variable!
IF1 is mapped to IF2. Element 'f' of interface IF2 should receive the value of the container-variable.
How can I do this?

"Now populate the asynchronous interface (ID) using a container operation."
I am curious how this can be done... on our system (SP14) we are not able to assign the value of a simple variable to a message interface using a container operation, we always get "<absif> and <simplevar> are not compatible".
<i>Where <absif> is the abstract interface and <simplevar> is the simple text variable in the Integration Process container</i>
Does anyone know how can this be done?

Trace not showing Global container variable at mapping test time.

Hi Folks ,
I have a scenario file to Proxy scenario. At mapping time I am doing a lookup inside a UDF using JCO connections.
Lookup is taking 2 fields(ex X an dY) as input and coming up with couple of fields in output.
Output fileds I am storing in global container and want to access in further mapping .
I am using trace to see variable values at mapping tijme
Surprisingly :
1. For a particular "X" field in Input, No output fields are coming at trace . On testing it end to end I can see fields getting populated at run time at lookup table . but not getting reflected at mapping trace . what could be the possible cause ?
2. For few input fields like "Z" . It is showing all the output values at Trace. But when I go and place a value in lookup table for the same Input field "Z" . this new value is not coming up at trace Level while rest of teh values are coming up. Can anyone hint where I am going wrong ?
End to end Debugging sahows values populating and being sent across . Where I need to look at ?
Regards ,
Santosh

Hi Horia ,
By trace do you mean display queue or running the mapping completely in the ESR ?
--->I am talking about running the mapping at IR and getting the values of trace by using messagetype.traceinfo() in UDF functionality. I am working on Pi 7.0

Get BPM Container Variable?

Is it possible to get the value of a BPM simple type container variable at Mapping time?

Hi Ruben,
you can use a trick:
- datatype: extend the source container with one field (your simple type)
- datatype: make all fields optional (0-1 or 0-unbounded)
- process: create a new multiline container from this type
- tranformation: fill the one line container with simple type
- container operation: append to multiline
- tranformation: fill the one line container with your message
- container operation: append to multiline
- transformation: merge the multiline to single-line
- transformation: Now you have the value of your simple type in an additional field

Accessing container variable of BPM in Message Mapping function

Hi,
I have a scenario in BPM where i have a container variable that is used as a loop counter.I want to access that counter defined , every time when i go around the loop and perform certain actions based on that counter. so how can i access that variable in my message Mapping function.

How to read container variable in UDF

Hello expert,
I have created a container variable(var_callerId) in an integrationprocess.
In a mapping I want to read the container variable with an UDF.
Can anyone send me the code for the UDF please ?
I can't find the solution in any post message / blog.
Thx for your help!
Best regards,
Juergen

Hi navneet,
thanks for your fast reply.
Let me explain why I wanted to use container variables:
(Perhaps there is a better way to fix the requirement)
I've following IP
Message Interface (input)
<getData>
<callerInfo>
<callerID>SYSA</callerID>
<SessionID>43545455545355</SessionID>
<number>3434344334</number>
</callerInfo>
</getData>
Then I have a mapping (<number>) to call a webservice.
I get the data from the webservice.
At last I will send the data back to the business System.
But I need the both tags from the input interface (SessionID, callerID) again, to send it back.
I tried a mapping to map sessionID and callerID from the input interface to the output interface, but it doesn't work.
So I thought I can store the sessionID and callerID in a container variable and in a mapping I will get it back with an UDF.
I think there should be a possiblility to get the stored value from the container variable inside the IP. But I don't find any solution.
I don't understand your solution with the global container. How can I access to the container variable(IP).
Thx for your help
Best regards

Not able to give multiline container variable in transformation step.

Hello,
I'm doing a simple collect pattern in BPM.
I have three container variables, one- the source interface, second the multiline of source interface and third-the target interface.
Now, i have block in which i have the exception and deadline steps and then a loop in which i have my receiver which collects the message and gives it to the container to keep it to the list. Outside the block i have my transformation step which takes the relevant interface mapping. When i try to give the multiline container variable the box turns red, but of give the normal source container variable it accepts it.
If i do a check by F7, Expression must not return a multiline value.
The scope of the container variables is maintained as Process.
What could be wrong, please help.
Thanks and regards,
Akhil

hi akhil,
think in transformation it sees source messages and target messages.
if u have n:1 scenario then n interfaces to one interface right
thats is each interface will have one message type
so if u are using interace mapping in transformation it is expecting n interface variables to one interface variable.
it will display n source messages to one source message jsut check.
so transformation step is expecting one n sub message types to be embedded in one message type
<messages>
<message 1>
<meessage n>
</messages>
this one is mapped with one XML target messgae
so if u have n different messages see that u compress them in to one message type like the above and give it in trasnformation step.
if you have n different messages then u can alwasy go for n different interfaces to one single interface
then u can see in tranformation step n diff source messages and one target message
was just confused with reciever step which allows multiline receivers
Thanks & Regards,

XPATH Predicate for container variable of simple type in BPM

Hi Experts,
I have read various threads and blogs with this topic and as I couldn't get a clear view, hence I am raising it here. In my BPM, I am collecting idocs by means of a finite loop. I have used a receive step, container step(to append the idocs) and another container(to increment the counter_variable) in a loop. I want to run the loop for the condition: counter_variable<=3 whereas 'counter_variable' is a container variable of 'simple XSD type(XSD: integer)'.
All the blogs and threads have demonstrated like how to use the EX operator with container variable of type 'Abstract interface'. But how can i incorporate the above scenario for a container variable of simple xsd type ? Please share your ideas.
Regards,
Laawanya

so this is what you need to do,
1. in your loop have a container operation that will increment your simple integer variable each time a message come in.
2. for your loop the condition will be, left operand (simple integer variable) /= (not equal) 3 (Constant)
Ref: SAP BASIS (SWCV) -> http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns -> Integration Process -> BpmPatternCollectPayload
the only difference here will be the loop condition to be altered as i have mentioned above.

Add 2 container variables in control step BPM

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I need to add 2 container variables in control step under AlertMessage and I am using under exception branch
Control Step
StepName: XXXX
Action : XXXX
AlertCategory: XXXX
AlertMessage: ?
I am successful putting one container variable in alert message with &AAAA& but I want to add another variable values &BBBB& as well.
When I tried to keep variables as &AAAA& and &BBBB&..I can return code 99 in sxi_cache.
How can I achieve this with BPM..I am using sap pi 7.0

may be i need to explain more clearly..
I have 2 container variables with simple type which holds 2 different payload values.
Under exception branch I have a control step to throw alert. In this I need to pass alert messages with these 2 varaibles.
As I said earlier I am able to pass successfully one container variable value but when I insert the second variable it is not picking up and when I check sxi_cache the IP return was 99 which means some error occured while assiging these values.( I tried in different ways)
But when I inserted has &AAAA& and &BBBB& then reuton code was 0 but whn I run scenario it is not populating both values
Can anyone please help me how I can populate 2 variable values in alert message under control step.

Accessing a BPM Container Variable Inside A Mapping

Hi
Is It possible to access a BPM container variable (Simple type say a String )in a Mapping (message mapping). This mapping is present in the same BPM itself. Is it possible to access the variable in the mapping.
My basic objective is i need to read and update values between My message mapping and Bpm container simple type variable. I read a value from BPM variable and then update this variable and again write it back to the BPM container variable and then again read it in a loop . Is it possible to do this exchange.

Hi,
The only way is to do with mapping. Totally you need to add your conatiner values into message and then thru mapping you can access.

How to Access a BPM container variable in XI graphical message mapping

Hello XI BPM and Mapping experts,
is it possible to access a BPM container variable from an graphical mapping?
If yes, how ?
We need this for the following scenario:
IDOC to BPM.
BPM transforms and sends transformed IDOC to fileadapter
If both steps are successful a STATUS.SYSTAT01 IDOC should be send back to SAP-ISU with status 06.
If one of these steps fails the status in the SYSTAT01 should be set to 05. (Exception branch of block)
We want to avoid to write 2 mapping programs for mapping the SYSTAT01.
Instead we would like to use a BPM Container Variable which contains the status.
In the mapping for the SYSTAT01 we want to use this Container Variable.
Is this possible?
Thanks for soon answers.
Regards Marlies

Hi Marlies,
Is not possible to acces a BPM container variable from graphical mapping. For other hand, you can to use runtime variables for this purpose.
You could create an abstract interface with a message type having a single node with the required value and using this message in other mapping.

Reg:Container variables in BPM

Hi...
I have done one scenario with BPM.
In that i have used the below steps.
1. Fork with 2 receive steps.
2. and two container steps for the 2 recieve steps ( vara= "I" for the first recieve step, and varb= "S" for the second receive step)
3.wait -- for 1 min
4. switch (if vara ="I" and varb="S", then branch 1 should execute, if vara="I",then branch 2should execute else we need to cancel the process)
the above steps i have used and executed the scenario. It is working fine. BUt i am having problem with the containers.
I am not able to satisfy the condition for [if vara="I" and varb="S",]
The switch is not going to check the above conditon because whenever the file is recieved the container variable will get updated and wait for 1 min and will go for switch contion. So here i can check only for single condition at a time.
Can you please help me how to check the both the container variables at an time..?
Regards,
Leela

Can you please help me how to check the both the container variables at an time..?
So when the Switch Step is executed are both the variables filled with the required values (I am not able to understand your query clearly)....if both the variables are filled then in the condition editor you can define the condition based on both the values (use And...it will be Insert Expression ...for executing Branch 1)
It will be something like var1 = I And var2 = S .....while selcting the left operand select the appropriate message.
If you are on 7.1 then create two condition variables representing var1 and var2.
Similarly when defing condition for Branch2 it will be only var1 to be used.

Abhishek.

BPM: Pass container variable out to message

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how to pass a container value in BPM out to a message easily ?
I am managing to set the container variable ok but need to pass this value out to the destination message of the BPM process.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Colin.

Hi Michal,
Thank you for your response. The problem we are facing is that we can extract a value from the incoming message using a container operation. We call the variable the REQUEST_DOCNUM. We then make an synchronous call out which maps the ORDERS ORDERS05 IDoc to a CXML OrderRequest, posts to a vendor website which returns a CXML Response status, which is then mapped to a STATUS SYSTAT01 IDoc.
At this point, we want to stick the REQUEST_DOCNUM into the STATUS IDoc. The problem is that we cannot use a container operation to stick the REQUEST_DOCNUM into this IDoc because the STATUS IDoc is an abstart interface. We cannot assign a simple variable to an abstract interface.
So the only other thing that we can think of is the Transformation. However, how can we transform a simple type and a STATUS IDoc to a STATUS IDoc that has the simple type variable in one of the elements. I don't think we can do this.
We appreciate your help.

Using Standard Container Variables in Email Alerts from BPM

Dear All
While creating alert categories from ALRTCATDEF we have a Long Text Tab where we can use Container Variables like SXMS_MSG_GUID ,SXMS_RULE_NAME, SXMS_ERROR_CAT , SXMS_ERROR_CODE etc create the mail contents. We can also display the message passed by the BPM by using the variable
ALERTDYNAMIC_SHORTTEXT , ALERTDYNAMIC_LONGTEXT .
In my case when I call the alert category from the BPM , the message passed by the BPM is displayed through the ALERTDYNAMIC_LONGTEXT in the alert inbox , but I am not able to utilize the other container variables (like SXMS_MSG_GUID ,SXMS_RULE_NAME, SXMS_ERROR_CAT ) for displaying the messageid ,error category etc. Using these variables for alerts invoked from BPM results in Blank Values for all the container variables.
If the alert is not invoked from BPM these variables are getting populated.
My question is is there a way by which we can utilize these variables for Alerts thrown from BPM.
regards
Nilesh .
