BPM Validation

Hello everybody,
I need to develop a BPM with XI for do the next process:
Synchronous Outbound 1 Interface with SOAP Sender-> Synchronous Inbound 1 WebService Client to System A, then I need to evaluate the response of this webservice from systema A, by this validation if it's correct the info I get then insertion of data to system B and return system answer to system that made the call to Synchrnous Outbound Interface 1, if the validation is incorrect to return error value to system that made the call to Synchronous Outbound Interface 1 with SOAP Sender, this is my first BPM can anyone help with documentation if this can be donde by a Integration Process and documentation to lear to use the graphic editor????, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Julio Cesar

BPM workflows Vs MDM internal workflows.

need clarity on BPM workflows Vs MDM internal workflows.
My understanding:
BPM are kind of workflows created on portal.
and MDM workflows are internal within MDM system.
Questions:
1. Are BPM workflow and MDM Workflows are connected in anyway.
a. If YES,How? Pls give me an example.
b. If NO, when exactly are MDM workflows used and when are BPM workflows used.
2. How are validations done in BPM
3. What is the role of web services in BPM, when exactly we are using
web services.
.......... Pls explain with example if possible.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
ve

Hi Veena.
As a definition SAP BPM is a component helps you to model, execute, and monitor your business processes based on a common process model. BPM is used to create composite applications and to streamline a process of execution. It can model the application with different areas using webservices etc.
SAP BPM provides modeling and implementation for a UI centric business process u2013 you can develop the business process based on BPM modeling tools.
1.
a. Are BPM workflow and MDM Workflows are connected in anyway.
As far as I know, it is Not.
b. If NO, when exactly are MDM workflows used and when are BPM workflows used
- MDM Workflow is extensively used in case of MDM Components for Cleansing, de-duplication, validation, approval etc. A MDM Workflow is tightly integrated with the MDM Clients to perform the operations.
- BPM workflow is of UI centric business process to integrate various functional usecases.
2.
Validations are created in BPM using the validation rules framework or BRM(Business Rules Mangement) based on the functionality. User can create their own validations from this layer.
3. As a definition, Web services are typically application programming interfaces (API) or web APIs that can be accessed over a network. So if Im designing an application which creates a purchase order in the back end, an webservice should be exposed where I pass the required inputs and get the desired output. The validations are exposed as webservices which can be used in BPM.

Scenarios for PI 7.1

Hi,
I am looking for different scenarios for PI 7.1, I am specifically looking for these scenarios.
1. iDoc to File
2. File to iDoc
3. iDoc to Webservice
4. Webservice to iDoc
5. Proxy to Webservice
6. Webservice to Proxy
Please do not send links for PI 7.0, I am specifically looking for PI 7.1
Thanks,

Processing Schema Validation error in BPM?

Hi all,
We have a file to IDOC scenario where if the schema validation fails on the file adapter sender agreement, we want to pull the filename and send it in an error email. So, we are talking about the adapter specific message attribute "Filename".
unfortunately, this does not seem to be available as a container element for alert catagories in ALRTCATDEF. So, we are starting to look into using BPM to send a email via the email adapter. However, since the validation happens prior to BPM being called I am at a bit of a loss. Any ideas on how to get the email with the filename out to the suport group would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

"BPM-70830: Deployment validation failed" when deploying from composer

Hi BPM developers,
I am trying to deploy a BPM project based on a template to Oracle BPM Suite 11.1.1.6.0 running in SOA & BPM Development VM and I get the following error :

You're right, I restarted the server again and again...
I have just opened the sr in metalink, it has been confirmed as a bug. Unfortunately there's no way to workaround. What I can do now is waiting for the solution.

Calling FI Validation Rules in BPM server through call transaction

I m trying to call FI validation rules through call transaction (for FBV0) in BPM server but in the messages table of call transaction it does not gives us the validation rules error messages while when i run manually the transaction in R/3 system i get the validation error messages. So please tell how i can get these validation error messages when called through BPM server.

Hi madhvi,
You are using jtab within the form.. i dont think you can use it directly inside ur FORM sub1 without declaring it or without passing it. and it will give you the syntax error.
and please send me the step by step code you have written in editor so that i can check it and can reply you with proper solution'
Thanks ,

BPM Problem: Schema validation error notification

Hello all,
When a schema validation error takes place upon receiving XML messages via HTTP, is there something that can be set up in BPM to notify data owners? (either alert or email)
Regards,
Steve

Bhavesh,
<i>When you mean source schema validation, does it imply that you want to validate your Source XML before graphical mapping to make sure it meets the Source XML Schema?</i>
validate my Source XML
<i>As you pointed out you are usinga BPM, you can wrap the Transfromation step with a Exception handling block, so when there is a mismatch of Source schema and ite actual message the exception handler will be invoked and in the exception handler you can trigger alerts using the control step.</i>
I'm using an outbound interface (outside BPM) to call the abstract interface (very first step in BPM), and there's a tranformation step after that.
-If the Source schema is wrong, will the error take place at the outbound interface or at the transformation step? If outside at the outbound interface, i wouldn't be able to wrap anything around it.
-Exception handling block means the BLOCK step?
Regards,
Steve

How is validation done using BPM and MDM

Hi everybody.
I have a business usecase. It is with BPM-MDM Integration. I need your comments on this.
Data is transferred/imported from ERP to MDM. This process is automized and data is imported through Import Server.
whenever the import happens, validation has to be happened like null check, format etc. Based on that the record has to be imported or it can ignore it.
Should these validation needs to be done at MDM end or at BPM?
If MDM End, should I need to use MDM Workflow as well or Is it be possible without using MDM workflow.
How can I check the non-imported data(ie. Records which failed during validation)
can I get this information from MDM level by any means, saying can we get the records which failed during validation
Is there anything which we can do from MDM side or should we do this check from BPM side?
Also Is it recommended to go with MDM Workflow and BPM as well in this usecase. (like BPM-MDMWorklfow-MDM).
Any suggestions.
Regards
Bala

Hi Bala,
As per your requirement, you can go ahead with MDM workflow. This MDM workflow will trigger on Record Import.
See, I assume that you understand the different steps of MDM workflow, like Assign, Validate, Branch, Start, Stop etc.
As your workfow will trigger on Record Import with Start step (Checkout state) and record will check-in only if it validates that validation else will get rollback.
can I get this information from MDM level by any means, saying can we get the records which failed during validation
Before Roll back you can syndicate that records also for your reference.
Start(Checkout)>Branch step(checks validation like null case and other MDM fields population etc)>If fails( Send these records to)>syndicate step>Stop1 (Rollback) else if Pass -->Stop2(checkIn)
In this way only records which are valid records gets checkin ( gets created into MDM) and failed validation records would be syndicated out of MDM for your reference before Stop step (Roll back) means not get created into MDM.
I dont have MS-Visio to test this scenario but i hope it should work..

Validation in BPM by callinmg RFC

hi
I have a scenarion in which a file is coming contaioning header and line item .Based on the header field i have to give validation by taking the values from R/3 if true then further procced othrewise stop.

is either sender or receiver of your scenario R/3?
See, if it is, then it is not a very good solution architecture to do it like this.
R/3 -> XI -> R/3 -> XI -> target
or
source -> XI -> R/3 -> XI -> R/3
If source system is R/3, perform validation even b4 you send it to XI.
If target system is R/3, use synchronous RFC to communicate with it, in this RFC perform validation if data is valid then post entry and return OK message to XI, in case it is not valid, return ERROR message to XI. Then XI can return this message back to source system.
If neither sender nor receiver of your scenario is R/3, then u could use BPM for it.
Regards,
Henrique.

BPM Objects in valid values

Hi,
I want to display a combo box showing some strings to the user, but having something else in the background. Using e.g. an integer in the background is easy. But is there a way to put complex objects (i.e. BPM objects) "behind" the string values?
Thanks & Regards
Matthias

Hi,
we usually use this way to show objects in combo box: BPM object has an id attribute (Integer). We will associate combobox with this id. Open attribute properties if 'id'. Mark 'dynamic method' on valid values. Mark 'method return descriptions' too. You have to create a method thats returns a String[int]. This will contain text displayed on combo box associated to this id. Users will see the text but you get the id of the selected object.
Regards,
Juan Escot

Validation by mapping in BPM

I need to validate an object. I plan to add trasformation step and exception handler for it.
Will XI validate data (after mapping) by XMLSchema?
For example I added constraint maxLengh=10.
Will transformation step throw an exception if length > 10?

Hi Sergey
Please check out this weblog entry written by myself on the topic of XML Schema validation in XI:

Doubts in validating message using BPM

1)Have to check the response message has not been sent twice for the same id,
if wrong stop processing the message further.
2)Have to check the values coming in message is valid or not by comparing the values with R/3 table.
3) When sending Email alert, some of the values of the invalid message also has to be send with alert.
4) Have to check the details sent back and sent are same.
eg: if i send vendorid and some more values for which inturn they sent back are same
or not.
5) I have configured deadline branch there I have given the alert category, description.
I have configured only one recipient for the alert. so if delay in response am getting the mail in particular id.
So when i send message to particular system its fine.
But in my scenario, one system connected to more than four system.
When i send message to morethan two system how to send email alert to particular
system where delay to send response.
Can anyone guide me how can i approach these validations.
Thanks in advance,
Sakthi

Hi,
1)Have to check the response message has not been sent twice for the same id,
if wrong stop processing the message further.
--> If you have a synchronous call you EVER have just one reponse message. So in SYNC this should not be necessary. In ASYNC mode you don't have a response, so this is also not neccessary
2)Have to check the values coming in message is valid or not by comparing the values with R/3 table.
>>>You need a RFC in R/3 that gives you table records. In this case see, if a RFC is already available; otherwise you have to develop the RFC
3) When sending Email alert, some of the values of the invalid message also has to be send with alert.
>>> Design a sender step and send the interface which caused the error. The message will be attached.
4) Have to check the details sent back and sent are same.
eg: if i send vendorid and some more values for which inturn they sent back are same
or not.
>>> I would suggest that you inspect the samples delieverd by SAP. In Integration Repository goto SWC SAP BASIS. There are samples.
5) I have configured deadline branch there I have given the alert category, description.
I have configured only one recipient for the alert. so if delay in response am getting the mail in particular id.
So when i send message to particular system its fine.
But in my scenario, one system connected to more than four system.
When i send message to morethan two system how to send email alert to particular
system where delay to send response.

Record Count validation - BPM v.s. Message Mapping

Greetings,
I've got a file of sales orders coming in from File -> RFC -> File.
In my incoming file, the final record contains my record count.
In my outbound file are, of course, the messages from my RFC to create orders.
In my BPM I receive the inbound file, then use a transformation to count the number of orders and split them into separate messages so I can loop through them in a block & call the RFC.
I want to validate my order count against the number of orders listed in my trailer record. Should I use a switch step in my BPM... or should I use a UDF in my message split? All I want to do... I think... is supress everything coming in and pass a message stating the error... in my outbound file.
Please advise...
Doug -

Hi Doug,
As pointed by Prabhu, u need to validate it within Mapping...
However , I am of the opinion that the source system should ensure to send correct record count before passing on to XI....
Thanks,
Himadri
