Check payload in the BPM

Hi All,
Can anybody help me to how to find the data in BPM process. Like in moni we can see the payload i.e exact data transfering. Is there any option to see the exact data in each BPM step and how it transfering.
Regards,
Kum

Kum,
Follow the below process to check the payload.
Click on PE in SXMB_MONI, it will take you to workflow Log.
Now, Click SHIFT+F9 - It will display the log with Tech Details
For example clikc on the Mapping step, if you want to see the input and output of the mapping program, then
In the bottom screen , click Container tab and click Messages1 - it will take you to next screen which displays 1. Now right click on 1 --> Nested Table --> Messages. Now Double clikc on the message displayed in the pop-up window. It will take you to the payload.

Check payload for a BPM scenario

Hi,
When testing a BPM scenario (BpmPatternCollectMessage) I got error in Transformation step.
I want to collect payload (source message) in transformation step so that I can test in Message mapping
I know we can monitor BPM in sxmb_moni_bpe. But from that Tcode I can not collect payload (reply to me if I am wrong).
I check sxmb_moni but no use...
Looking for responses...
Regards,
Pradeep A.

Hi Prateek / sunil,
thank you for your reply,
I send olny one message before stop message, then also i got an error in transformation step.
But when i copy the same message from payload and test in message mapping then it is successful. I thought that source message is converted in to another format when it reach to transformation step.
so i want to collect the input message of the transformation step.
>>>>Don't say that.
>>>>Thats the place where you will get the payload. What's the problem there?
so i check sxmb_moni for that stopmessage bec i got redflag in moni under outbound status column.
when double click on stop message --> i notice two pipe line steps inside 1) Central Client 001 2) PE_ADAPTER Client 001
i check payload of all pipeline steps (Central Client, PE_ADAPTER )and notice that same payload exists at every step.
please guide me if i am doing any wrong
1) where can i collect input message of the transformation step.
2) if i copy sap provided BPM and Message mapping form Basis SWC to My SWC, then my i got error in transformation step
3) I copied payload from message mapping and test from RWB keeping ID as constant and changing over all number for every message i send.
regards,
Pradeep A.

I am stuck at send Step after receiver determination ,I want to know what is the payload (input output)
after each workflow step in the BPM ,but i am unable to check .
Is there any way to check this. Basically i want to know how to check the i/o and o/p of the each workflow step.
Thanks in Advance
Rajesh

Hello Experts,
Could somebody guide me in this scenario as i am not able to carry on
I want to see the payload for BPM workFlow steps ,first of all is this possible ,if yes i am at step
container (list technical details) where the option payload is display but no data is found .
If no how can we check or monitor the BPM workflow step by step. I hope some body might have faced this problem ,could some BPM experts throw light on this.
Thanks in Advance

Unable to read payload from the message object

Hi
I have a scenario where i am send request to http receiver and getting the response. When I am testing through WFETCH it is working fine. But when i am testing through XI I am getting the follwoing error
Unable to read payload from the message object
I have tested the XI payload in mapping. I have done all kinds of testing but it is still giving the same error.
One more strange thing is
I have done one BPM scenario where Data is coming from Source to BPM( which is asyn) and then from it will go from BPM to Target (which is sync) But when I am checking the SXMB_MONI... it showing the messages like this
Source to BPM
Target to BPM
Target to BPM.
But i think it should show message like

Receiver determination step in the BPM and multiline container

i have made a file2file scenario where:
there is a BPM,
the BPM has a send step which contains a receive step,
a transformation that mapps the incomin message to two messages(Split-messgae case),
and then a FORK step which sends the two messges to through 2 SEND steps to the intended receiver services.
It didnt work......and i followed a blog-> /people/sudharshan.aravamudan/blog/2005/12/01/illustration-of-multi-mapping-and-message-split-using-bpm-in-sap-exchange-infrastructure ............... which suggested to have a
"receiver-determination" step in the BPM before the SEND step.... it says that this
"receiver-determination" step will put the message in a MULTILINE container..
i m confused bout this step ........ can anybody explain.....
please help

HI,
In receiver determination step selctthe multi line container element.in container editor create the one element with type as receiver and select the check box.
A Receiver Determination step returns set of receivers configured for the output abs interfaces in the directory and puts it into receiver which is a multiline container receiver element

How to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist

I Have created a flex field label and was able to map to the flex field attributes .
But when i try to create a rules , I don't see the label or the flex attributes in the task payload .
Can someone please help is understanding how to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist .
Even I am also searching for any scripts which will take the flex fields prompts and can directly create a label in the bpm worklist .
Any pointers or suggestion is highly appreciated .

Hi,
SE38 -> Enter program
Select Variants button and display. In the next screen, enter a variant name, (If not existing , press Create to create new one), else click on Change.
Now the selection screen will display with a button "Variant Attributes" at the top.
Click on that button.
In the next screen, go to the selection variable column of the date field. Press F4 or drop down and select 'D' for date maintenance.
In the column "Name of Variable (Input Only Using F4)" press F4 or drop down, select whichever kind of date calculation you want and save the variant.
Now whenever you run the prgrm with this variant, date will be displayed by default.

Can we able to see the Work Items status in the BPM Workspace

HI,
Can we able to see the work item status in the BPM workspace.
For exampls, I have create the request as requester then it will go for approval.
After sometime i login into the workspace can i able to see my request status(it mean where it is like approval1, approval 2)?
Pls let me know, its possible in the BPM workspace.
Regards,
Anandh P

Hello Anandh,
You can utilse the filter option of the BPM workspace.
When you filter the instances you can view the status of all the instances even if they are currently not assigned to the particular user.
All you need to do is click on the show filter link.
Select the process from the Filter by: combo box.
Check the status boxes and click on apply filter.
You will be able to view the instance even if it is not assigned to you.(Though you will not be able to work on it.)
If you wish to give custom messages like "pending with HR" or "Pending with Admin" then you need to add a column by creating a project variable and mapping it to the custom view. Then these messages can also be shown on the instances.
Hope ths helps.

Jaydev Doshi

How to change the value of project data in the BPM instance?

Hi Everybody,
I have a situation that after the bpm instance was created. We found that one of the project data/variable contains the incorrection information. Is it a way we can change the value of that project data/variable? I checked the BPM workspace, as administrator, there are not function for it and we can't stop/withdraw the instance. Can we change the MDS database for it? Please advise. It is so important for us that will stop us to move on of our project.
Thanks

As per my knowledge we can not change the value of BPM project variables from outside BPM. If you look at PAPI API also you will find methods to get values from BPM but not to set to BPM.
If this is daily issue for your application then change your design to add a Edit Data Activity (Screen) and then use Grab functionality to get the control to this Edit Data Activity to change the required data.
Else if it is an issue with the only one instance then it is better to Abort this instance and re-create the instance with correct data. Changing value in the MDS database is not encouraged.
Hope this helps.

SC_SEMANTIC_OK in the BPM

I am getting the following error in SXMB_MONI.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

</SAP:Error
While checking the BPM it is giving the information SC_SEMANTIC_OK .
Could anybody please try to solve this issue?
Thanks & Regards,
Sekhar.

Hi,
have a look at the process signature. Does the message you try to send to the BPM really correspond to the input message of the process signature? Probably not....
The BPM itself is developed correctly if SC_SEMANTIC_OK is shown, however that is only a test at design time. Your problem originates at runtime. What you might want to do, is create an integration scenario and put all message interfaces you are going to use into the actions. You can then check the scenario via F7 as well, and if the outbound mesage of one action does not correspond to the inbound message of the connected action it will give you an error.

Referencing functionality in the BPM-2 separate interfaces

Hello - I need to check the functionality in BPM that if one Interface is already exists(say PO) with its own BPM flow and Can another Interface (say GR)reference the previous interface(PO interface)?
To clarify more, these 2 interfaces are purely different interfaces (developments). I need to check if the data from the previous interface have been created successfully or IS IN PROCESS. If the data for previous interface is in process then wait for the task to be done otherwise create another thread in the BPM for the current interface.
If this can be done then How ? Any help is appreciated.
Thanx....

Scope of the BPM Process variables

Hi All,
What is the scope of the process variables in a BPM Process?
I had defined couple of process variables in my BPM process and observed that whenever i go into a Human Task activity and come back to the BPM process all my process variables values are back to null. Is this the expected behavior or am i missing some thing?
Thanks,

Odd character generation in the payload from the R/3 side to PI server

Dear Experts,
The scenario is an integration from R/3 -PI- Webserver (Ext CRM server). An ABAP report is executed on the R/3 side which in turn invokes the RFC which is connected to PI server through RFC Adapter. On the receiving side the SOAP Adapter is used for connecting the External web server. Now when ABAP Report is executed on R/3 server it generates a transaction which does not gives error but the payload generated from the R/3 side is incorrect. When we check it on the PI server using the SXMB_MONI transaction, we can clearly see the odd characters like ㄲ㠸㈰㠺㔴㘱㌺ which is defined as string in the inbound message payload.ie In the payload looks like as given below.
<ns1:string>??㠸㈰㠺㔴㘱㌺</ns1:string>
Kindly advice on how to overcome such problem. Is there any setting which needs to be done on the R/3 side or on the PI server side pls let us know.
Thanking You
With Kind Regards
Sylvester
