Collect pattern in BPM

Hi All,
1) On which field I should use correlation in order to post POs into R/3 using Collect Pattern procedure in BPM?
2)What is the advantage of using Collect Pattern in BPM?

Hi Krishna,
Pls give complete scenario, so that exacltly we can help how to use.
Just for information on collect pattern

Interface Mappings in BPM Collect Pattern

Hello
I am new to XI development and currently facing problems while implementing collect pattern of BPM.
I am trying to map IDoc structure with target legacy format.In BPM I had a block with infinite loop where I am transforming IDocs to target legacy format.Then I am trying to transform list element (Multiline Abstract container variable) to form a single message.For this I tried to have interface map with Occurences 0..unbound..but while activation of Interface Map it gives error
<b> Mapping program Message does not match the interface mapping. The number or frequencies of source or target messages for the message mapping are not identical to the number or frequencies of source or target interfaces.</b>
If I use single line in Interface map then in BPM it gives error when passed Multiline element to this Interface map.
I checked the sample program provided by SAP but I found out that every message interface was using same Message Type which has got occurence as 1 but in the message mapping program its 0..unbound.
My question is can we have data type (or Message type )with Occurence as 1 and Message Mapping program using same message type with occurences 0..unbound..I tried to find such option but could'nt find that.Otherwise how to do Interface Map for transforming Multiline parameter of BPM to a single message.
Please help..Thanks in advance..

Initially I tried to perform test by tree view and it worked fine.But it was one message in the source and the same was in target.Later as given by you I updated XML source message.The source message looks like

BPM Collect Pattern: N:1 Mapping error in trnsformation step

Dear All,
I am using collect pattern Payload Dependant.
I have one source data type and one target data type. Mapping is one to one.
Data type contains 3 fields, Value Name and Surname.
In Loop I have used condition when Counter is equal to value stop the loop.
I have used Transformation step as I am using N:1 mapping.
I have used abastrct to abastract message mapping.
Source message is 0 to unbounded.
In interface mapping target message occourance is 1. But in mapping program target message occourance is 0 to unbounded.
When I am running my scenario, Third party to IP is working fine. But in IP i am getting error in transformation step.
"com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element /ns0:Messages/ns0:Message1/ns1:Collect_Receiver_MT. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.start"
Can anybody will help me to solve this problem?
Warm Regards,
Gouri

BPM Collect Pattern.

Hi Experts !
I am trying to implement this scenario.
Source File Adapter -
Message - Vendor # - Material # [Only one material ]
Pattern : Collect Pattern
Key for Correlation - Vendor #
Message collection in Loop for a counter of 3 Messages.
Target file on Directory to be created using file adapter should be of this structure:
<Header> 1.1
vendor
<Header/>
<Items> 1..Unbounded
<Material>Matl1 <Material/>
<Material>Matl2<Material>
<Material>Matl3<Material/>
<Items/>
When collect messages into a multiline container it will be based on source message. The multiline container will be looking like this:
vendor# Material#
vendor# Material#
vendor# Material#
after all the three records are collected.
What mapping from this point is required to get the output explaine above.
Please mention whether it is a step outside BPM or inside BPM.
When system encounters a multiline container does it process each message at a time or is the mapping applied to all the messages at a time.
Thanks in advance..

Thanks for sharing your views.
As I mentioned I will stop collection based on a counter.
Coming to my question again..
N : 1 Mapping..
Can you elaborate on N:1 mapping you are suggesting.
Here is what I did ..
One Msg...   -
>         Multine Line                           Mapping
abs                          similar to One msg          source                target
                                                                    multiline abs        target_abs..
Message Mapping details...this is what i use in Intf.Map..aplied above.
vendorx         -
> VendorX
material1 1.1 -
> Material [1..n]
where the output I get is only the last item processed...
If I pass                                       Output
Vendor1 - Matl1                       Vendor - Matl3....
Vendor1 - Matl2
Vendor1 - Matl3
Where am I going wrong...
thanks.

BPM Collect Pattern Scenario :Container is empty for the loop at run time

Hi Friends,
I am working on BPM Collect Pattern Scenario after looking into the example delivered by SAP in namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns and IP name as BpmPatternCollectPayload.
After configuring the same and when it is run, I see strange behaviour as illustrated below
1. Container step is empty and not able to see the counter for which it needs to be incremented at runtime
2. I understand that Loop should start and it need to be incremented as when we get a new message into the same BPM.
But I observe that it is creating a new message and loop never stops and completes the condition and comes out to go to next step.
Request your help.
Regards,
Hussain

Hi,
define or declare a variable with name counter and type as integer in Container where you define abstarct variables...

BPM Collect Pattern:File to IDoc

Hi,
My scenario is File to Idoc. An invoice excel file will be sent by the vendor.The excel has a built in macro, which converts the excel to a csv file and file is placed in a file share server.
*Logic of Macro: *
There will be a button in the excel file containing macro. In one excel file there would be multiple invoices that contains different number of item lines, The macro checks the u2018Invoice Numberu2019, lines with the same invoice number will be saved in one CSV file. So for example a excel file contains 5 invoices, when press the button that contains the macro, there will be 5 CSV files created under the same path, each CSV file contains one invoiceu2019s information.
After this I have to post the Inovices in to SAP using an IDoc.
So, I am using BPM collect pattern to achieve this. In the collect pattern, I see a correlation defined on one of the source fields, What does correlation exaclty do in my case. Let's say I have defined a correlation on Source field called Invoice number.
BTW I am using FCC on the filed adapter to change the CSV(Invoice) to xml
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi
to use Xpath for your receiver det. ref these blogs;
a combination of logics should help you in this case ...
Customise your 'XPATH' Expressions in Receiver Determination
XPath to show the path (Multiple Receivers)

BPM collect pattern based on payload

Hi,
i am doing BPM Collect pattern based on stop message which is RFC. Means, i need to collect the IDOCs until i get the RFC from another system.
For this i am using predefined pattern BPMcolllect pattern which is in BASIS SWCV.
is it possible to do with out correlation?
if correlation is required, there should be one common fiield between two messages?
Thanks,
karthik

Hi ,
Your design it self wrong, when you develop interface as a sender IDoc , then how come you will receive RFC in to BPM??
so check your requirement with your client, if you want to collect messages there are different ways, implementing patterns in last option.
search in sdn.

Raj

CcBPM Collect Pattern Error

All,
Im trying to do a collect pattern based on time example. This is what the BPM does,
1. Receives the IDoc from another R3 system.
2. Collects the IDocs based on a correlation and there is a timer for 3 mins.
3. Merges all these IDocs using a transformation.
4. Sends the the merged xml to an FTP location.
When i get the first IDoc message - in SXMB_MONI it says inbound side is ok and there is an error on the outbound side... and in the technical log - it gives the following error,
Work item 000000046192: Object FLOWITEM method EXECUTE cannot be executed
Error when executing work item '000000046193'
If i remove the block and just make it a straight forward collect the xml (only one XML since there is no timer), transform and write to FTP - it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

That link is almost similar to the example we have and it gives the same error as i mentioned earlier.
One more thing - we tried changing the BPM the following way,
1. Start
2. Begin Block
3. Receive IDoc.
4. Container operation to add the IDoc to multiline variable.
5. End Block
6. Transform the multiline container to an XML.
7. Send the XML file to a FTP location
8. Stop.
There is no timer or no collect pattern in above example... this also gives the same error as in post 1. But if we remove the Block (#2, #5 in the above BPM), it works without an error.
So - it looks like the block is causing an error... or are we missing something else?
Thanks.

Collect Messages using BPM

Hi all,
        Am doing a collect message pattern using BPM. After collecting messages wen mapping is called its throwing exception. CAn you help me out in this. I ll explain.
the input i give is :
<Root>
       <Name> asd </name>
       <ID> A </ID>
</Root>
i sent thid message 5 times to BPM (using collect pattern).
the stop message is of the format
<Stop>
   <ID> A</ID>
</Stop>
wen i send this the collect block is exited and the flow comes to a transformation step which does a n:1 mapping
ie. in my mapping i add the source message type and changed its occurence to unbounded in messages Similarly in IM also i changed the occurence of source MI to unbounded. wen i test the message mapping with this
<Root>
       <Name> asd </name>
       <ID> A </ID>
</Root>
as input it gives the exception. But if i gve like this ten its showing successful.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
   <ns0:Message1>
<Root>
       <Name> asd </name>
       <ID> A </ID>
</Root>
</ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Messages>
But how can wedo that as transforamtion happens in BPM. PLease help me out in this

BPM Collect pattern is not coming out and it is in loop.

Hi Experts,
We have implemented a BPM Collect Time pattern and it was working fine in Dev and QA environments perfectly. Couple of days back we have some server issue in Dev environment and Basis team has done some thing with File Storage. From that time, all our BPM's were not working in Dev. It is showing that the block is waiting for some event to trigger and it is in Process state. We have set it for 5 min and block is not coming out from loop. We exported the code to QA and it is working in QA. We tried SWU3 transaction as given in the below forum and it didn't help us.

According to thread mentioned by you ,Schedule your Missed Deadline Branch.
Also check your BPM using transaction SXMB_MONI_BPE and find out which step have error.

Time Dependent Collect Pattern BPM

Hi,
I need to collect messages during certain time interval using BPM in my scenario. I have used the exactly same pattern as given in SAP BASIS 7.0 SWC under namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns with name BpmPatternCollectTime.
The problem I am facing is, when I execute the scenario, the loop does not end and the TimeOut exception is never thrown so the process never reaches to transformation step. I just cant understand what can be the reason. Please help.

Hi Bhargav,
Check my suggestion in this [thread|Problem with timeout exception on a block step;.
Hope it would be helpful.
Regards,
Sunil Chandra

Necessary steps for incorporating BPM collect pattern?

I am working on my first BPM.
The scenario is as follows: Supplier information (CREMAS) has to be splitted into their respective receiver countries (This has been done with a switch) For each country all CREMAS has to be collected into one XML and sent.
I have decided on BPMCollectPatternTime.
What should I do in order to include a CollectPattern in my BPM?
What design objects should I copy to my namespace?
And how to configure receive, loop and transformation?

Hi Thomas,
So you are sending multiple CREMAS IDocs to SAP XI and you want a BPM to collect the IDocs together into separate XML messages by country.
In this case you dont need a switch statement, just use a time based collection routine and a correllation on the country field.
We have used this method extensively, you want to choose how to terminate the BPM. You can set up an infinite loop scenario with a time based termination via a deadline branch.
In order to use this in your own BPM create the Integration Process and add the following steps in the editor, this will aid you in understanding the various steps and how the process works.
You will need 3 Abstract Message Types:
1) Single IDoc Message Type
2) Multiline IDoc Message Type for Appended IDocs
3) Non Multiline IDoc Message type for the List of collected IDocs
First add a block step
Mode = Default
Local Correlation = Define Correlation on Country
Within the block step:
Deadline Branch = 1 minute for example
Control step = Throw Exception
|
Main Branch = boldLoop Step Beginbold --- Receive Idoc Step --- Container Operation --- boldLoop Step Endbold
Loop Step
Condition = (1 = 1)
Receive Step
Message = Abstract Message Interface
Use Correlation = Local Correlation
Container Operation
Operation Append
Outside the block step:
Transformation Step
Send Step
Hope this helps,
Pete
