BPM - Viewing Container Elements

I have a small BPM Scenario, in which I receive a message and Transform it and send it to the Receiver. It ran OK.
I am trying to see the content of Container Element!
To do the above taks I did the following
So from MONI I clicked the PE in the INBound, it took me to Workflow Log ,then I clicked one of the Step and it took me to "Display Work Item Screen", in this screen from the Menu Extras --> Container I see one message went in. I clicked that and a window opened below, I right clicked Nested Table --- Messages. But I am unable to see the container Element content
Please help me. Thanks friends.

Hi Karen,
Even screen shot in the document shows SXMB_MONI (Step 8). But the only difference is SXMB_MONI will shows only the input message to your BPM but if you go through the steps mentioned in the document it will show you the selected message only. This will be useful when you have multiple mapping steps in your BPM or multi mappings. Say you have two mappings in your BPM (MAP1, MAP2). If you directly go to SXMB_MONI and double click on a message it will just show you the input to the BPM.
But if you go through the steps specified in the document it will show you input message to map1, output message of map1 and similarly for map2(input/output). All this four messages input/output for map1 and map2 which cannot be seen directly through SXMB_MONI. only through the steps specified you can see all these four messages.
This will make sense when you have multiple mappings or multimappings.
hope this clears your doubt...

BPM Alert Container Elements Not Filled

Hi All,
Another problem i am facing when i am raising alert from BPM.
In inbox i see alert message being raised but with no text.
I have also subscribed to email alerts.

and the content is the first alphabet of the AlertMessage container element.
Ex : In BPM my container element is AlertMessage and the message assigned is Error . Then in email message i only get E. where as in alert inbox i get nothing.
ps : im using XI 7.0 SP 9. there are no notes which are applicable for this release.

Hi Bhavesh,
>When you select Dynamic text in the Alert category, the Container tab will no longer be available in ALRTCATDEF for your Alet Category.!
the container tab is available but the Long& Short text tab is disabled.
I did not mean that..
What i meant was see next to the Properties tab in Alert Category defination there is a Container tab where we define our own container elements.
Do i need to define the names there..or i can directly use in the BPM?

Error message for View Container Element that is no longer existing

Hi Experts,
i have problem in my webdynpro component. After perform the Code Inspector I get a error message accordingly View Container element.
In one of my view I have rename the name of a viewcontainer element.
Afterwards I could the find the ViewContainer element with new name in my window. But there is also displayed the view container element with the name before renaming. Therefore the code inspector give the error message:
"View Container ..... does not contain a View Container UIelement".
I try different ways to solve it, but it is not possible to delete the displayed ViewContoinerElement in window(that is no longer existing) and it is also not possible to find the ViewContainerElement with the old name in the View.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Instead of trying to delete the View Container UI Element in window, Delete the View itself in window and then re-map it again to the window by simply drag and drop.
Hope this helps u,
Thanks & Regards,

Show view container elements on click of button in view

Hi All,
I have a view ,in that view I have 1 View Container UI Element.In ViewContainer I have a Table.
I have a button in my view.onclick of that button I want to open a view Container's table.
Could anyone please suggest me what are all the steps i have to follow for this?
Regards,
Karthick

Hello Karthick,
1) Create custom controller.
2) Create attribute with type Visibility in custom controller.
3) Add custom controller in "required controllers" for embedded view and for container view.
4) Create attribute with type Visibility in embedded view and container view.
5) Map visibility attribute from custom controller to container view and from custom controller to embedded view.
6) in container view in wdDoInit put wdContext.currentContextElement().setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
7) In action handler for button put something like:
final int ordinal = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVisible().ordinal();
wdContext.currentContextElement().setVisible(WDVisibility.valueOf(ordinal%2 + 1));
While clicking on button table would be shown or hidden.

BPM error:Container element in step transformation is not initialized

Hello Experts,
I am new to the concept of BPM.
I'm trying to create an integration process in which I'm taking an Idoc and processing it in many ways. The process contains many transformation steps. There two such transformation steps which have been placed in block step in a fork. And i get this error: Container element XXX in step transformation is not initialized
What could be the problem?
Regards,
Akhil

Hi
if u are getting the messaga with red sigh then it means it will craete the error while running the scenario.
but if it is in blue then i think it will not create any error.
the meaning of that statement is that the container u have defind is not used anywhere. it is just giving u a warning message.
Thanks

Dynamically embed View into View Container UI Element

Hi all,
I'm searching for a possibility to embed a view into a dynamically created View container element.
I want to do this out of another view, where a tabstrip is contained. So I have a button on this view for generation of a new tab with an view container element in it. Now I got to the point where I have to set the view to this container within the tab strip.
I read several blogs and articles, where this is done via the window manager within an method of the window, but non how to do this within a view.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Olli

HI,
that's nit what I wanted. What I want to do is a kind of table maintenance. There is a button under the tabstrip for creating a new row. If the user klicks on that button a new tab should be created for the new row. Therefore the view on the tabs are always the same.
I have created the tabstrib. dynamically add a tab to this strip on button press is no problem. Also a ViewContainerElement is created. But now I have to set the statically created view for the row maintenance into the container.
Thanks

BPM Container Element and Container in UDF Relation

Hi,
I am creating a BPM with container elements. Can I access this container variable value in a Java based mapping User Defined Function. If so, can you please let me know how can I do that.
Thanks,
-Padmaja

Hi Padmaja,
q1 -Is the target message same in all the cases with different values?
q2 - Also, after this message(with different content based on the where it is created from) is created is sent out or is it used some where further again in the BPM?
i am also assuming you are above SP16..
If the answer is yes to q1 and no to q2, you can achieve this quite easily.....from each of the 3 places(success,failure and deadline)....have a send step each with the source message...in the send step you should have the "ConversationID" field filled with values which distinguishes the place from it is is send....now in the interface determination attach one mapping and in that mapping using a UDF you can access the Conversation ID from mapping variables....and you can manipulate your output message..
I have made lots of assumptions without knowing your scenario..check it out if it helps...
Thanks & Regards,

View Container UI element in a table popin dynamically

Hello people,
I create a WD Table dynamically using the runtime class. I also create the table popin and then I set it in the table using the method SET_POPIN from the runtime class.
Now my requirement is that I should be able to add the 'View Container UI Element' into this popin so that I can embed any other views into this VC UI E. I cannot find a way in which I can achieve this. I am able to do it statically but not dynamically.
Even though it is suggested that such a design would lead to performance issues, but I have to achieve this.
Regards
Rohan

Hi Anita,
you cannot set metadata at element level of a node. When you set the metadata ( example mime type or file name ) for a particular element in the node , it changes for all the element. So you are always getting the file for the last row. ( most recent set metadata ).
Try using the inteface IWDCachedWebResource for file download.
For each row add a button, and associate an action "DownloadFile" for it. Use the following "onAction" for the said action.
public void onActionDownloadFile(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionDownloadFile(ServerEvent)
    int selectedIndex = wdContext.nodeFileTab().getLeadSelection();
    IPrivateView_pdfView.IFileTabElement file = wdContext.nodeFileTab().getFileTabElementAt(selectedIndex);
    try {
     IWDCachedWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(
          this.
          getByteArrayFromResourcePath("/sapmnt/PCD/global/config/cm/etc/pdf/"+
          wdContext.nodeFileTab().getFileTabElementAt().getFilename(selectedIndex),
          WDWebResourceType.PDF);
     wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(webResource.getURL(),"Download File",true).open();
   catch(Exception e) {
     // take some action
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.toString(),true);
    //@@end
Hope you get a solution.

Embedding view in view container UI element

Hello,
   I have a requirement which is given below:
I have a MAIN view where there is a view container UI element. This container holds one of 3 views(VIEW1,VIEW2 and VIEW3) depending on user input. Initially VIEW1 is displayed (this is set as the default view). Then the user navigates to VIEW2 and enters some selection criteria and confirms. Then VIEW3 is displayed with the entered selection criteria. Then the user clicks on search on the MAIN view and the RESULT view is displayed. When the user clicks on back functionality in the RESULT view,MAIN view is again displayed but the view container has VIEW1. The user wants to see VIEW3 in the viewcontainer in MAIN view.
Please let me know if there is anyway to achieve this.
Regards
Nilanjan

Hi Nilanjan,
Create three context attributes V1,V2,V3 of type char1.
Default value for V1 is 'X'.
Bind the visible property of each view container to the above attributes like
View1-V1
View2-V2
View3-V3
When you run the application, defaul View1 displays, coz its default values set as 'X'.
Now depends up on the logic, change the value of each attribute as 'X' or SPACE .
Eg:
    DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
    DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->Element_context.
    DATA lv_v1 TYPE wd_this->Element_context-v1.
    DATA lv_v2 TYPE wd_this->Element_context-v2.
    DATA lv_v3 TYPE wd_this->Element_context-v3.
*   get element via lead selection
    lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
*   @TODO handle not set lead selection
    IF lo_el_context IS INITIAL.
    ENDIF.
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V1`
      value = 'X' ).
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V2`
      value = '' ).
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V3`
      value = '' ).
or
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V1`
      value = '' ).
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V2`
      value = 'X' ).
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V3`
      value = '' ).
or
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V1`
      value = '' ).
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V2`
      value = '' ).
*   set single attribute
    lo_el_context->set_attribute(
      name = `V3`
      value = 'X' ).

Hi,
I am not sure how to do add an ALV table dynamically but you can have a look at this blog which talks about creating and adding a TABLE ui element dynamically. And TABLE UI element may solve your problem.

BPM - An empty container element was specified when sending

Hello Experts,
My BPM process looks as below:
Receive -> Loop (execute if the status of IDoc is ERROR(E))--> Mapping ---> End Loop --> Send
The message is failing in BPM workflow with the log: An empty container element was specified when sending
Container for receive and send stepe are different. IP in SXI_CACHE has process code 0.
Mapping program is defined between the abstarct msg type of receive step and abstract msg type of Send step.
Th message being processed has initial status as ERROR and after the mapping step is exceuted, it retrieves teh current status i.e SUCCESS. This ends the loop step and while tying to send the messgae to target system, this error occurs.
Pls advice if I am missing anything.
Thanks,
Elizabeth.

Go to Assigning Values
At runtime, you can assign a value to a container element, for example to increase a counter or to append a message to a list of messages.

BPM: How to return the total number of lines in Multiline Container Element

Hi all:
I am trying to follow the following blog to do message splitting:
/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi
In the blog, total number of messages for Message1 was returned to Count in Message 2.
If I do not want to create message 2, if there any way to return total number lines in multiline elements ? Because this number need to be used to specify in loop condition:
While Indxe != TotalNumberOfLines
Thanks
Liang

Hi, Matias:
For the loop block option, your answer is passing message count in different message type is best option !
I really do not know why SAP does not deliver a build-in function to return the number of items in multiline element at run time ?
Now the question for the second option: ForEach block:
When I leave current line of block properties empty, the compile does not pass
I have to input a another element (Var_Cur) in current line
Inside my block, I have one send step, it will send Var_Dest[Index], followed by a container operation step to increment Index by 1.
With above setup, I compile it, compile passed, but it says:
"Container Element Var_Cur in Step Block1 is initialized but not used"
then I added another containter operation step in block:
Var_Cur = Var_Dest[Index]
I modified send step to send Var_Cur rather than Var_Dest.
Up to now, I can compile it without any warnings.
But when I send message to IE, the message pass pipe line, but it seems does not pass the BPE.
When I go to SXI_CACHE, to check the return code for my Integration process is 0, means no error.
But my message does not reach my target system.
Where do you think I made wrong ?
Thanks
Liang

How to Initialize Container Element in BPM..No Payload found

Hi All,
How do we initialize a container element in BPM if that container element is a message Interface.
I am doing exception handling in BPM, so whenever a exception occurs i need to send a mail.
So in the exception box i have a transformation step and a send step.
In the transformation step what will be my source message?
How do i initialize that source message?
What i have done right now is created a dummy interface(abs) for source and then mapped with the target abs interface.
When i execute the schenario,in the monitor i find in the Transformation step the following error
No payload found.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi Pinto,
I too agreee. Lemme try to explain witha example.
In my first transformation, MI_MAIL_TEMP_ABS is there along with 3 other interfaces. Each one is getting mapped i can see that in monitoring.
Now in the exception branch in transformation step,
i am mapping MI_MAIL_TEMP_ABS to MI_MAIL_ABS.
Now in the send step im giving MI_MAIL_ABS as the interface name.
Do you see anything wrong with this?
>>>>>>>Did you try to do outbound interface -> inbound interface mapping in the exception branch? Just to try to make your scenario work. Then you can investigate further on why the abs message is not being carried away.
Which outbound interface & inbound are you talking about?
Regards,
Sumit
