BPM Scenario Development

Hi
I am using BPM for the first time and have tried to reach at a certain stage. The process is
FIRST STEP
Legacy File(MQ Series)-------> SAP XI(Validation)
<------ Back to legacy if Error
SECOND STEP
SAP XI(Via Proxy)One record at a time -
> SAP R/3(Validation on Data)
<----
Back to XI with validated Data(Via Proxy)
THIRD STEP
SAP XI(Validated Data Posted via IDOC) -
> SAP R/3
The STEP 2 and 3 will be repeated for every record and 'N' Number of Idocs will be posted and finally the Error if any will be posted back to legacy system.
I have designed Interfaces(Abstract also) for every process, but dont know what all objects and process to put in BPM. The First receive step contains the abstract interface for receieving message in BPM. Need to understand how to proceed in building the above scenario.
If possible kindly notify the steps involved and how to build this one. When and where I need to use Transformation, Switch and block etc.
Best Regards
Swetank

Hi,
>>>When and where I need to use Transformation, Switch and block etc.
at first check read this - you have to know which steps are used in which case:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/dcef46dae42142911c8f14ca7a7c39/content.htm
I think you can do it all in one integration process
(all of your three steps)
>>>The STEP 2 and 3 will be repeated for every record and 'N' Number of Idocs will be posted
you may try Anish's approach to cut your legacy file to a number of messsages (lines for instance)
take a look at his weblog:
/people/anish.abraham2/blog/2005/12/22/file-to-multiple-idocs-xslt-mapping
but please first read the documentation on process steps to understand how BPM's are build
also there's a number of BPM weblogs which you can find on my XI FAQ page (question 3 - documents section):
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/06/28/xipi-faq-frequently-asked-questions
it would be wise to read them too as they are very easy even for a "BPM begginer"

How to test BPM Scenario?

HI,
Experts,
I have developed a BPM scenario successfully but i didn't understand how to test that BPM Scenario i tried test that in ID->Test Configuration but i having only one sender details how to another sender details or any transaction to test BPM.
Thanks in advance
Shabeer Ahmed.

For testing purposes you can use RWB.
Give all the details like Sender Business System, Message Interface and Namespace and the correct payload.
It just mimics your sender system provided you have only one sender in your BPM.
otherwise you need a parallel instance of RWB for different senders.
Thanks,
- Gujjeti.

BPM Scenario

Hi,
    I am trying out an BPM scenario for an N:1 mapping,in which i'll be sending N number of 2 different structure of messages.The source file got picked from the Source.The SXMB_MONI describes that the "Message being sent",but i couldn't get at the target.I doubt that my BPM design could have strucked up in the looping and hence the message couldn't be delivered.Can anyone provide some pointer to get it resolved.The BPM design is as mentioned below :
Block
          Deadline
          Exception Handler
                                    Loop1     Recv1     Container1    Loop1
         Fork                                                                                Fork     Transformation(2:1)   Send Stop
                                  Loop2     Recv2      Container2      Loop2
Note : The loop will come out when the deadline time reaches 2 min.

Yes.The Correlation desfined as below
File1 of Abstract type Message Interface
FileList1 of of Abstract type Message Interface(Multiline checked)
File2 of Abstract type Message Interface
FileList2 of of Abstract type Message Interface(Multiline checked)
TargetFile of Abstract type Message Interface

BPM Scenario: Message has error status on outbound side

Hi All,
        I am doing one BPM scenario. In my scenario i am collecting 12 different type of idocs in BPM and bundling these idocs and sending these to the 12 different files.
        If i send 12 idocs from the R/3 then my scenario is working perfectly fine. If i send less than the 12 idocs that time i am getting the error message as "Message has error status on outbound side" with red flag.
           Can you please explain what minght be the problem. I have already checked in SM58,SMQ1 and SMQ2.
Thanks & Regards,
Purushotham

Hi Nutan,
        I hv configured my scenario as follows
1. Start
2. Block ( Deadline and Control step for cancell the process)
   3. Fork(Necessary branches 12)
      4. Loop(12 loops)
          Under loop
          a. Receive Step
          b. Container Operation( For count)
          c. Container Operation(For append)
5. Fork( Necessary branches 12)
    6. Transformation
    7. Send
8 Stop
This is my scenario. In the first Fork step i am checking end condition as total number of idocs is reached then i am sending all the data to the target system. If the idocs are not reaching with in 1 hour then i am cancelling the process.
        Now can you please tell me what is the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Purushotham

BPM scenario,message struck in queue.

Hi folks,
I am doing a Simple file to file BPM scenario(NO TRANSFORMATION)...
My scenario executed properly,but in moni i receive a green flag, after i looked it in
LUW -->Display Process, I can see the steps as
Receive1--initialize-send1-UNDEFINEDWork flow completed.
I think there is a problem after send.... can u plz tell me what may be the reason.
Or Am i doing in creating a IP,..... if so can u give me a simple file to file scenario,with detailed steps

Yes i have checked everything,
Status code of IP is 0 in sxi_cache-->IP
and interfaces are assigned properly at right places......
Still the message gt struck in queue...
I have a doubt,that why The Unsefined step is coming after send1....
RECEIVE1>INITIALIZE>SEND1>UNDEFINED-STEP>COMPLETED

BPM Scenarios not working

Hi All
I have done a simple file_2_file and SOAP_RFC scenario. Both of them are perfectly working fine.
Now I did a simple file_2_file scenario using BPM and this doesn't work. When I go the transaction SXI_CACHE, it shows as "Cache contents are obsolete". Also, in SXMB_MONI, when I see the messages, only sender interface is there and no part of the BPM messages are shown.
I am sure that my BPM configuration is perfect as its a simple example which I implemented from one of blogs.
Do I have make any settings for a BPM scenario to work? Please help.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Moorthy,
I already implemented your blog. After activating all the objects, I just tried SXI_CACHE, it says the "Cache contents are obsolete". Also, my previous scenarios doesn't work. Now If I take out the BPM scenario, I mean if I delete the scenario, then the previous scenarios start working fine.
Any solution please?
Thanks,
Vijay

File to RFC with multiple records using BPM Scenario Error...!!!

Hello Guru's,
I have done the File to RFC with multiple records using BPM scenario as per the Materiel available in the sdn.sap. This involves BAPI (BAPI_MATERIEL_AVAILABILITY). I have done exactly the same what is their in the materiel. SXI_CACHE is also giving return value " 0 ". File is getting deleted from the source directory, but no file in target directory. SXMB_MONI is also showing no error (black Flag). BPM is also error free. Checked the interfaces also.
Can any one tell me what mistake would i have done.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There is one similar discussion I found,

PI 7.0 BPM scenarios

Hi Experts,
Do we need to do any Post-installation to work on PI 7.0 BPM scenarios? I have creted and activated the business process thro' PI, but I couldn't see those business process in SXI_CACHE.
Please share your suggestions..
Regards
Sara

Business logic is the functionality performed on the data at the communicating systems (sender/receiver).
Intregration logic are the business rules based on which the data is transformed from one format to another and the path through which data should flow
BPM mostly concentrates here on the integration logic.

Webservice response in BPM scenario

I am doing a BPM scenario where I take data from ERP asynchronously using proxy and send it as a request to a third party synchronous webservice. The webservice gives a response and I am using the response to send it further along to other systems.
Everything works fine if correct messages are sent and received. The problem starts when PI/BPM receives an un-expected response from the webservice. If the webservice sends an unknown error message in the response, the mapping fails and goes into the error queue. (smq2)
And the real problem is every successful message or response after that also goes into the same queue and getting stuck. Why is this happenning? Do we need to monitor and clear the error queues all the time so that subsequent successful messages go through BPM corrrectly?
Do you guys think it is a cache problem or something else?
Thank you.

this is because there is no proper error handling in your BPM.
you need to handle the exceptions in case of mapping or communication failures.

File to RFC to File with BPM Scenario

Hi all,
 I am trying to implement a Sender File ( async ) to RFC (sync ) to Receiver File with a BPM. I using the blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1926. [original link is broken] But it doesnt work. First message FileRequestOut is correct in SXMB-MONI, but the second is showing a error. I checked in SXMB-MONI-BPE and I say in workitem is follow message:
Message Error Workflow
Error handling for work item 000000001714
Work item 000000001714: Object CL_SWF_XI_MSG_BROKER method SEND_SYNCHRON cannot be executed
No reference message specified when sending a response
No reference message specified when sending a response
I configured my BPM scenario in this way:
( Sender File Adapter )
First Step
Receiver Step ( Asynchronous )
Mode: Asynchronous
Receive Message: File Request
( Receiver RFC Adapter )
Second Step
Send Step ( Synchronous )
Mode: Synchronous
Request Message: File Request
Response Message: File Response
Receiver From: Send Context
( Receiver File Adapter )
Third Step
Send Step (Asynchronous )
Mode: Asynchronous
Receive Message: File Response
Receiver From: Send Context
 I have changed it, many times and I can get solve it. About my configuration objects, I think it is ok, because a tested my Interfaces in Configuration Test Tools it was ok. ( Receiver Det. Interface Mapping, etc)
 I have seen in SDN, this error maybe Sencond Step must be Synchronous e Third Step must be Synchronous too. Is it true? In other hand, I have seen, it is possible to use a Async / Sync Brigde.
 Could you help me about this problem?
 Thanks for help
 Best regards

Hi ,
 I have seen in SDN, this error maybe Sencond Step must be Synchronous e Third Step must be Synchronous too. Is it true? In other hand, I have seen, it is possible to use a Async / Sync Brigde.
 In BPM did u used as
 Recive Step Async
 Synchronous Send Step
 Send Step is Async
 it is possible to use a Async / Sync Brigde.
 No need to use Asyn Sync Step for this
Assign poins if u found hepful

Error in BPM Scenario

hi,
Using a BPM scenario (File->File). In SXMB_MONI the status of the process is showing "Scheduled for Outbound Processing", with a green flag associated with it. How would I go about troubleshooting this error? Have checked SM58 and made sure all the queues are registered and activated. Also no messages show up in SXMB_MONI_BPE. Could you please guide on how to proceed?
regards,
SK

Hi
Have a look at the following links, even though they are not specific to your scenario, they give you some good hints on troubleshooting and where to look.

BPM scenario - How to check it?

Hi Experts,
I couldn't see any difference between in wsdl file which was created for BPM scenario and non-BPM scenario.
How to make sure that the BPM process worked fine? I couldn't get anything for SXMB_MONI_BPE. Am I missed out any steps?
Regards
Sara

Hi,
Refer to the guide: 'How to Monitor Integration Processes' at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e7bc3a5a-0501-0010-1095-eb47159e169c.

BPM Scenario : How to Proceed ?

hi folks,
I am working on a BPM scenario .
Scenario goes like this : I want to pick the data from a file and post the data into SAP using a RFC and get some data in response .now data which came back as a response from RFC response should be written in a XML file whose name should be dynamically generate and then the name of the dynamically generated XML file should go into a table.
My BPM is like this
Step 1 : Receive ( For collecting the data from file)
Step 2 : Sync Call to RFC ( For making a sync call to RFc and then sending back the resp data)
Step 3 : Send Step ( For sending the response data to XML file , name should be dynamically generated)
Step 4 : Send step ( For sending the dynamic file name of XML file to Table)
Till step 3 i have worked fine and getting the desired output also ( as i am getting the dynamic file name in the output xml file) but after that not sure how to proceed...
how to push the dynamic file name from XML file to Table.
Now my doubts...
Is design of my BPM is right...? if not please correct me...and also if there is any other way to get the same functionality ?
Regards,

Hi Latika,
-->hw r u generating the filename? is it thru a field in ur structure that u are capturing by setting adapter specific attributes in receiver file adapter config?
Yes
-->if yes, then use that field only to get the file name. in ur last send step u can use a mapping to trasfer this field into the target structure for oracle database.
even i also want todo this...but how..this is the question..
My BPM is like this
Step 1 : Receive ( For collecting the data from file)
Step 2 : Sync Call to RFC ( For making a sync call to RFc and then sending back the resp data)
Step 3 : Send Step ( For sending the response data to XML file , name should be dynamically generated)
Step 4 : Send step ( For sending the dynamic file name of XML file to Table)
I step 3 data to file(dynamic file name) is send.
Now how can i send the data from dynamic file generated just now to JDBC.....?
Kindly help by step by steps..explanation..
Regards,

BPM Scenario question

Hi
i created a bpm scenario according to the blog "RFC Scenario using BPM --Starter Kit" by Arpit Seth. I get the file into XI successfully, but after this first step nothing else happens. In the SXMB_MONI i have only one successful message that read my file.
How can i debug the reason of this problem?
thx in advance
Michael

i haven't a SXMB_MONI_BPM. But i checked SXMB_MONI again and found 2 error messages from BPM belonging to the resend tests from the PE trace.
The Response message contains following error:
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: failed to parse BAPI response due to: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.util.bapi.BapiException: Parameter with name RETURN not found.</SAP:AdditionalText>
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
Is this a BAPI problem?
