Collect BPM - Start process and correlation in one Receiver

I'm using collect pattern based on timeout. Somehow in my infinite loop, in the receive step, I cannot combine "start process" with creating correlation and using it. All in the same receiver. When I try to activate my BPM, in the processing log I get, "start process" trigger removed.
Can someone throw any light on this....I've being trying this for over few hours now. I cannot get start process and correlation in one receiver. I must be doing something wrong.
Even the copied BPMCollectPattern removes the start process from the receiver.
thank you,
Pam
Additional info:
The first message received starts the process within an infinite loop and activates the correlation "Correlation" by using IDoc message tyoe. Each subsequent message uses this correlation. The messages are received in the container element CollectMessage.In the loop the received messages are attached to the multiline container element CollectMessageList.

Hi,
We are also in SP12. So start process is not a problem, because you are getting an Information saying that "start trigger removed" right? It is not an error.
Are you getting this eror "expression must not return multiline value" after your complete Integration Process desgin ? If So...
I think you are getting this error in Transformation Step where you are doing N:1 mapping. In this step you are mentioning Interface mapping right? Once you mention Interface Mapping in Transformation step you need to give Source Message Structure as well as Target Message Structure. According to my understanding you are getting error here. You can check these errors, while design time itself. If your entries are showing with Red Border then it is understood that there is an error.
So if error is here then I think you need to check your N:1 Mapping. In this mapping your Source side Messages should be 0...unbounded. Similarly in Interface Mapping also. Just check for Source Message Occurences...
I think it will solve your problem.
Thanks,

BPM Start Process

We have scenario(file to file) where we get multiple files and is merged using BPM, transformed and sent to the receiver. We have file This is a time based collection. Incoming file adapter is set to poll every 30 sec, and the block in BPM timeout in 2 mins ( for testing purpose).
The BPM receive step (inside the loop) has the start process turned on. The expected behaviour was to receive all files in one instance of BPM and send the merged one out.
It is spawning the multiple BPM instance based on number of files in the sender file adapter. My guess is it is doing this since we have the start process on receive step and for each receive it is starting a new process. How do we eliminate this to have only one instance start as I am not finding any other step prior to receive ( block , and loop) where I can start the process.
Any help is appericiated.
Thanks,
Samir

1. If you want to merge the same file format , Use "Loop" step before "Recevie" step. Put some deadline branch , which will ensure your time limit.
This would resolve your problem.
2. If you want to merge different file format , you need to have multiple "Receive" steps and for that you need to use the "Fork" step.
Let me know if you still find any problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Dijesh Tanna.

Scheduled Task - Stop/Start processes and .exe

I've running some short batch files to stop a process and an .exe at just past midnight.
and then corresponding files to start a process and an .exe at 6am
I've set up Task Scheduler to run the Stops at 00:05 and 00:10
and then the starts at 06:30 and 06:40
However when I run tests, the scheduled tasks giving a status of "running" long after the the "stop" batch files have run.
How can i set them up so they run once, then stop running so there is no danger of conflict when the "start" tasks run in the morning.
I hope this is clear.
Thanks
Pete

Hi,
Please check the in the task manager (+show tasks from all users) to see if it is indeed still running. You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
TASK SCHEDULER: scheduler status is being “RUNNING” always
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2f6dc29c-3b8b-45f5-a2a7-53e076acc062/task-scheduler-scheduler-status-is-being-running-always
If the issue still exists, the workaround is adding this line at the very end of the batch file:
TASKKILL /F /IM cmd.exe

BPM start process from WD UI

Hi all,
I am quite new with BPM in the SAP environment and for the moment I am strugling with the start of a process using an WD UI.
What i have is a simple process with two activities. The process starts with no problems from the respository and also I created a wdsl and managed to start the process from the wsnavigator.
Now I want to start the process from a simple UI. For that I created a WD component, assigned it to an app and connected to a model. Next I edited my portal to have a new folder with a page that contains my app.
The UI has to fields and a button. My goal is to use that button to start my process.
Probably I am doing something wrong when creating the action and maybe someone can help me with the java part on the actual button action.
Please help. Thank you.

Stefy

I've made a lot of research and of course found a lot of forums and help. But for the moment I had some issues with addapting them completely to my situation, since I have to prior experience with this.
For example I think this is the best solution that I have found so far: /people/arafat.farooqui/blog/2010/06/23/introduction-to-sap-netweaver-bpm-part-6
but at the following step:
/ Bind the object
wdContext.nodeRequest_Name().bind(objRequest);
I can't figure out what is the nodeRequest_Name()...
couldn't find this "asset" in my WDContext.

Start Process and inherited handles on Windows

My application starts a launch-and-forget process using ProcessBuilder.start. That process keeps a handle to a file of mine that was opened (and I guess not closed) by a dll I called but didn't write. That's messing me up when I try to replace or re-write that file. (The sub-process has no interest in that file.)
The Windows CreateProcess function has a "inherit handles" boolean. Is there someway I can get Java to set that boolean to false?

Also to be sure you need at least Windows XP Service Pack 2 if not 3 (XP3) as Firefox since version 13.0 will not work on XP1 or older.

File To File with merging and two sources one receiver.

Hi Experts,
My scenario is File to File
In this I need to pick Files from two different Directories on different systems: Sys1 and Sys2
In Sys1 i have 7 Files File1 to File7
In sys2 i have 8 Files File 8 to File14 and File_EOPM
Now <B>I need to merge File1 to File5 in one File say File_new and transform my file File6 into say File_new2</b>
Condition is when File_EOPM is uploaded in my Sys2 Directory then the Files should be transferred to Receiver file Directory RCVR
In RCVR i shud have the following Files
File _new
File_new2
File8 to File14
File_EOPM.
Hope I made my requirements clear
Please advice me whether this can be done w/o BPM?
Also help me in developing dis scenario
Thanks & Regards,
Rookie.

Well here is the design which i can think of
You can have a total of 3 scenarios
Scenario 1:will have a OS script executing before message processing,this script will keep on looking for file File_EOPM,if this file exist,it will activate the sender file communication channel to transfer the file File_EOPM to RCVR directory(Simple file to file scenario),the script will also activate the sender file communication channels for scenario 2 and scenario 3.
Scenario 2:this will collect files File 1 to File 6 via BPM,its sender file communication channel will remain in inactive state,this will only be activated externally by the script of Scenario 1.
Scenario 3:This will send rest of the files to RCVR directory,even this sender file communication channel will remain in inactive state,this will only be activated externally by the script of Scenario 1.
You dont have to create separate scenarios for all the above though,just create all of them within one scenario,i have split them in 3 separate scenario for ease of understanding
Check the below blog to control adapters externally

Concept of Sub Process and Starter Process in BPEL

Hi Forum -
With my limited understanding of BPEL I have found that if a process has to interact with another process it has to be exposed as a service however that is not good in all cases.
Is there a way in BPEL where once can create a process and do not expose it as service and still be able to call it from another BPEL process.
For example there can be a process called sendNotification and all the other processes if they want to send a notification can call this process.
In TIBCO there is a concept of Starter Process and Sub Process. A Starter Process is a process which will wait for an event to take place, like a web service request or a JMS message or a database adapter event and then this main process can call a sub process, just like the main program calling a function. This sub process need not be defined as a service in TIBCO and it can still accept an xml schema type as input.
Is this possible in BPEL?
Thanks!

10g -> Every process is a service.
11g -> Create a Composite, You could wire multiple BPEL Components and expose only the desired ones as a service through a mediator or directly the bpel. Mediator provide one more layer of virtualization and hides even the first master bpel component.
But if the send notification have to be reused outside the composite, it has to be an exposed service. Although it is exposed as a web service, it uses only WSIF binding to interact between bpel processes and not a soap binding(unless specifically instructed).
If you are looking for function kind of construct, you could create custom xpath functions (like logging etc.)

BPM Integration Process that correlates 2 messages.

I have an BPM Integration Process defined that collects Deliveries for an Order number and when an Invoice arrives for the same Order number it merges the messages to produce another file that is for a 3rd party.
I correctly receive in the Delivery and the Invoice u2013 I can see them in SXMB_MONI with a checkered flag and they are directed to my BPM. I can see this also in SXMB_MONI_BPE. I can also see the correlation correctly found in both messages. No error is reported by either SXBM.. transaction.
However it does nothing except receive the files u2013 I am expecting a transformation and then the send step to execute.
Start > CollectIDOCBlock > Collect Fork
Fork1
Infinite Loop for Receive Delivery (Start process) and Collect in Container. It uses and activates Correlation OrderNum
Fork2
Receive Invoice uses Correlation OrderNum (it does not activate the correlation)
At the end of the Fork (when Delivery collected and an Invoice is received)
It will then do the Transformation and Send Step.
<End
I have tried various combinations of the correlations and which receive step starts the process. Any ideas ?

Yes that did work. Now does somebody know what exactly the FORK parameter number of branches does ?
The SAPHelp is here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
+You can specify the required number of branches and then define whether the process must run through all branches, or just a particular number of branches+
But it does not explain why you need to have 1 as necessary branches rather than 2. There are 2 branches in the FORK - so why does having 1 as the parameter work and not 2.
In this SAPHelp for Message-Dependent Loop
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
it indicates to me that the parameter should be 2.
BUT the SAP pattern (BpmPatternCollectMessage) I have used as a base for mine has this as 1 and not 2.
Why is 1 the correct value and not 2 ??

Need to start process without SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin

We would like to give a class of users the ability to launch BPM processes without giving them SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin.
The problem with doing that, is that they could access NWA and change the process repository, if they found there way there.
Is there a way to just assign the role temporarily to the application?
Any thoughts?

Hi Jim,
Try this:
Create a wsdl in your bpm dc and assign it as an interface to the 'Start' of your bpm process. Build and depoy the bpm dc. Now create a small webdynpro dc with a button say Start Process and call the web-service which you have assigned to the Start of the process. Assign this wd dc to a page/role and assign it to the reqd users.
Hope it helps.

Stoping Start Process in Process Chain ...

Hi Guys,
We are working in BI 7.0 Planing and Forecasting System.
Here we are using one Meta chain which has a program that triggers 6 sub process chains.
Out of those subprocess chains 1 chain is running with green colour at Start Process stage only for the last 3 days.
We have checked the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH, but we all have no authorization to execute that.
Please let me know is there any other approach to rectify this issue.
Points are awarded to ASAP replys.......
Thanks in advance
Peter

hi,
is the color of the start process is green? if so it might have triggerred the next process.
right click the start process then chk the chain option end time, is the satsus shows any time of completion? if so this process is completed. chk what is the next process .
chk the table RSPCPROCESSLOG by giving the instance of the start process and variant of the start process.
there you can find the status - chk if it is G, then the process is completed successfully. else if the status is F then it is just finished and will not trigger the next process and you have to trigger the next process manually if you dont have access to run the RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH.
chk this works or not - goto se38/se37 you have an option of information click on it and there you can specify the FM RSPC_PROCESS_FINIsh and search in FM, then surely it will take u to the FM and have the option to run it. give the instance,variant and logid of start process then give the status as G and execute it.

HCM Process and Forms - Create and End record using the same form scenario

Hi All,
I have the following requirement while using HCM Processes and Forms: Using one form/scenario I need to both create a record or be able to end a record for infotype 841. When looking at the back-end service SAP_PA I have operations Create, Change, Change without delimiting and Delete. My requirement would be to do both a create and a delete I guess, but these two can't be selected at the same time while configuring the form scenario.
I was thinking about doing somethign with the startdate and enddate instead of using the effective date. But I have no clue how to do that.
How would this be possible?
Thanks,
J

You are correct in assuming that you cannot have a create and delete on the same infotype. The config will not allow it. Instead, configure the create and then do the delete via a call to you own method in the workflow or via the advanced generic service
Cheers

How to pass Employee number of MSS - Employee Search to Start Process

Hi All,
Just like HR admin role, Employee Information number is getting passed in Display Processes, Start Processes, and Personnel File, we have to make same scenario working for MSS also.
In MSS, General Information Page, when manager selects the Employee, then that Employee Number should get passed in Display Personnel File and also in Start Process.
I am new to HR module so I have not explined the requirement properlly, but Experts may be knowing this. Please help.
Regards,
Nikesh

Hi Siddharth Rajora,
I have actually 2 doubts..
1. You mean to say this can be done and is already implemented, but I think it will only work if we put "Display Personnel File and Start Process" under "Related Activities" area right ?
2. But user wants these views in the Detailed Navigation, so if he selects PERNER from general Information Page, and then if he clicks on "Start Process (under Detailed Navigation)" , then it shud show list of processes for that Employee.
Can you please guide me properly.

Correlated message processing and QOS in BPM

Hi,
I need one clarification w.r.t correlated message processing within integration process.
Is there any relationship between the QOS and correlation w.r.t message processing inside the BPM ?
In otherwords, will the QOS automatically changed to EOIO in BPM while processing correlated messages ?
I appreciate your reply.
Regards
Venkat

Hi,
In case of multiple messages to same receiver the QOS will change automatically....EO to EOIO
