Collecting multiple idocs using BPM

Hi,
I have a scenario where idocs sent from R/3 system are collected in Xi and posted as a single message in the file. We have done all the configurations both in XI and R/3 pertaining IDOC.
When we trigger an idoc in the R/3 system,we are able to see the message that IDOC has been sent to XI system. But we are unable to see any of the message transfers in SXMB_MONI.
(In simple words our interfaces are not getting triggered.)
Could anyone help us in rectifying the problem?
Thanks & Regards,
Vishnu.

When you trigger the IDOC from R/3
--Did u complete the configuration part of sending the IDOC to XI, have you created the TRFC POrt in R/3, cross check the RFC dest which you are using here is pointing to Right Xi box?
Your configration looks fine for atleast to take IDOC in XI, rest i am not sure at this point.
---No errors in the SM58 on R/3?
---IDOC metadata is loaded in XI? do u c any entry in the IDX5?
--Is your IS been configured wth the tracle level parameters, if yes set it to 3 value
--is runitme paramter LOGGING, LOGGING_PROPOGATION,LOGGING_SYNC present in SXMB_ADM?
if you have these then atleast you should c an entry in SXMB_MONI with with either sucessfull or failed state.
More importanatly the LS name of the R/3 is according to standards what SAP says in SLD?

Here i am trying to collect IDOCs for 5 minutes and i need to send them in XML format. Here i have mapping logic and that logic is working perfectly.
What i am dong is
1. I am sending IDOCs from R3 system to BPM in XI. ( Here to push IDOCs from R3 system to BPM, do we need to do extra ALE settings. Actually With out BPM simple IDOC to File is working fine, With BPM only i am having error. )
2. How to reslove above problem. AS per my understanding everthing is fine.
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi Rama Subbarao,
Error: Check with your loop condition and process steps.
Collecting of IDOCS using BPM is good, If u want to send the 100 IDOCS per one hour with single BPM it will takes times , Some performs issues and hardware issues are raising.
Suppose if u send 1000 Idocs per one hour it will takes much time.
Other Process:
The collecting of IDOCS it will be downloaded into FILE System.Once IDOCS is downloaded into FILE, it will be not changed the IDOCS.
Using FILE Adapter we send the flatfiles data from FILE System to XI. if u using this process performance wise its very good.

Collect Multiple IDOC(Single IDOC type) to single file using BPM

Hi All,
When i am generating multiple IDOC for the same message type, i am getting multiple payload for the same as a result i used to get multiple files generated in application server.
Now if i use BPM only to collect multiple IDOC to a file then what all the steps that i need to follow for the same.
Ex: I want to post 10 IDOC for a single IDOC type,, Now using BPM in XI i want to collect all the 10 IDOCs with multiple payload into one single message and then want to process this in XI to generate the file.
It would be glad if anyone refer me a good step by step blog for the same.
Thanks in advance,
Jay

Thanks a lot Abhisek.
I have also got a blog explaining the exact thing. But in the blog the ID part was missing which is present in the link you have provided.
I will be glad if you can through some light on the ID part,, however the IR part and the BPM part is now mostly okay to me.
I will configure this today only,, and may seek your help for any huddle.
Thanks a lot once again.
Regards,
Jay.

Multiple Idoc in BPM

I have seen this Blog "IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM"
In which case we collect multiple IDOC .Could any one give me
a real time example with three different IDOC's
With Regards,
Raju

Raju,
I don't know whether you have read the below thread ,if you haven't kindly have a look Re: Idoc multi mappings in a single interface
The requirement is they want to collect MATMAS, CLFMAS, BOMMAT IDOC , so this is a real time scenario. Consider if its R/3 - XI - R/3 scenario, then you can get these 3 IDOCS and merge in BPM and map to target IDOC and send to target R/3 System.
I think that target IDOC is UPSMAS01 if you read the thread you will get an idea.
Best regards,
raj.

File to RFC with multiple records using BPM Scenario Error...!!!

Hello Guru's,
I have done the File to RFC with multiple records using BPM scenario as per the Materiel available in the sdn.sap. This involves BAPI (BAPI_MATERIEL_AVAILABILITY). I have done exactly the same what is their in the materiel. SXI_CACHE is also giving return value " 0 ". File is getting deleted from the source directory, but no file in target directory. SXMB_MONI is also showing no error (black Flag). BPM is also error free. Checked the interfaces also.
Can any one tell me what mistake would i have done.
Thanks in advance.

Bundling of idocs using BPM

Hi
If you are using BPM to bundle the idocs and send them in file format to target system.............. here we can think of 3 different options on which we can bundle
1. Payload based
2. Message based
3. Time based.
Could you plz confirm me if we can achieve all these 3 options even without BPM in the application system ?? If we can achieve this in the applicaiton system itself ........are there any situations in which we are foced to use BPM for this particular scenario (Bundling of idocs)
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Very simple example which I had faced....
If you bundle idocs are application level..i.e. by setting XML port to collect idocs you will have multiple Control records i.e. control record for every idoc where as if you bundle them using BPM you can have only one control record. ( which we need most of the time while bundling idocs.)
Also in BPM you can set correlation on payload data. You can have multiple condition here...but at application level you do not get that control. Basically I think you get a control over Payload in BPM and you can play as you want.
Again even at application level if you try to bundle large number of idocs it will give you memory dump ( in sap)..
But bundling idocs at application level is faster process than BPM.

Collect Merge Patten using BPM in XI

Hi
I want 3 files to be sending data and only one file receiver.
How is it possible using BPM in XI?
Can anybody provide pdf on end to end Scenario of this type.
Points will be given?

Hi,
1.Inside the BPM have a Fork step with 3 branches and in branch have a receive step to receive the files from the Sender.
2.Use correlation to Merge the files of the same data by identifying a common field in all the three file's.
3. In the Transformation step Map the 3 Input MT to one Output MT.
4.Send the Message to the Target system.

Processing large volume of idocs using BPM Processing

Hi,
I have a scenario in which SAP R/3 sends large volume say 30,000 DEBMAS Idocs to XI. XI then sends data to 3 legacy systems using jdbc adapter.
I created a BPM Process which waits for 4 hrs to collect all the idocs. This is what my BPM does:
1. Wait for 4 hrs Collect the idocs
2. For every idoc do a IDOC->JDBC Message transformation.
3. Append to a Big List
4. Loop at the Big list from step 4 and in the loop for
5. Start counter from 0 and increment. Append to a Small List.
6. if counter reaches 100 then send a Batch JDBC Message in send step.
7. Reset counter after every send.
8. Process remaining list i.e if there was an odd count of say 5300 idoc then the remaining 53 idocs will be sent in anther block.
After sending 5000 idocs to above BPM following problems are there:
1. I cannot read the workflow log as system does not respond.
2. In the For Each loop which loops through the big list of say 5000 idocs only first pass of 100 was processed after that the workflow item is not moving ahead. It remains in the status as "STARTED" but I do not see further processing.
Please tell me why certain Work Items are stuck is it becuase I have reached upper limit and is this the right approach? The Main BPM Process is also hanging from last 2 days.
I have concerns about using BPM for processing such high volume of idocs in production. Please advice and thanks in advance.
Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Please read SAPs Checklist for proper usage of BPMs: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/d92e428819da2ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
One point i'm wondering about is why do you send the IDocs out of R/3 one by one and don't use packaging there? From a performance stand point this is much better than a bpm.
The SAP Checklist states the following:
<i>"No Replacement for Mass Interfaces
Check whether it would not be better to execute particular processing steps, for example, collecting messages, on the sender or receiver system.
If you only want to collect the messages from one business system to forward them together to a second business system, you should do so by using a mass interface and not an integration process.
If you want to split a message up into lots of individual messages, also use a mass interface instead of an integration process. A mass interface requires only a fraction of the back-end system and Integration-Server resources that an integration process would require to carry out the same task. "</i>
Also you might want to have a look at the IDoc packaging capabilities within XI (available since SP14 i believe): http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7a/00143f011f4b2ee10000000a114084/content.htm
And here is Sravyas good blog about this topic: /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/12/09/xiidoc-message-packages
If for whatever reason you can't or don't want to use the IDoc packets from R/3 or XI there are other points on which you can focus for optimizing your process:
In the section "Using the Integration Server Efficiently" there is an overview on which steps are costly and which steps are not so costly in their resource consumption. Mappings are one of the steps that tend to consume a lot of resources and unless it is a multi mapping that can not be executed outside a BPM there is always the option to do the mapping in the interface determination either before or after the BPM. So i would sugges if your step 2 is not a multi mapping you should try to execute it before entering the BPM and just handle the JDBC Messages in the BPM.
Wait steps are also costly steps, so reducing the time in your wait step could potentially lead to better performance. Or if possible you could omitt the wait step and just create a process that waits for 100 messages and then processes them.

Christine

File to Idocs using BPM

Hi,
Current Interface Flow - File (xml) to Idoc (single Idoc type)
Thirdparty sends a File for Goods Receipt. This file may have multiple orders.
Orders are sorted in an xslt by ORDNUM. Each record has a delivery type (Deliver Type PO or Delivery Type STO). For each order Graphical Message mapping occurs.
In case of PO, inbound delivery number and item number have to be received from ECC via an RFC call and passed to VBELN and POSNR. While in case of STO, source field ORDNUM and ORDITEM are passed to VBELN and POSNR. (RFC call happens only for POs, not for STOs)
In case of STO, TCode will be MB0A.and IDoc would be WMMBXY (As is the case right now)
In case of PO, there may be two cases -
a) There is at least one response from ECC for all the line items inside an order --> in this case TCode will be MB0A and IDoc is WMMBXY .
b) If there is no inbound delivery number for any line item from ECC inside an order --> TCode MB01 will be used and IDoc used is WMMBXY
So for all the above cases Target IDoc is WMMBXY.
Changes to be done - Now File (xml) to Idoc (Two different Idoc types, WMMBXY and DELIVERY03)
Now there is an additional requirement that I will be using an additional IDoc (DELIVERY03) in above case a).
I want to use BPM in this case
1) RFC call in message mapping to get the inbound delivery number (for POs only) (Should be before the message enters BPM)
2) Separating the messages based on IDoc type
3) Interface / Message mapping for each IDoc type
4)Send the message to ECC
Please suggest how to proceed with BPM
Thanks,
Varun

Message Split: File to Multiple IDOC Types

Posting multiple idocs without BPM

Hi all,
We have a JDBC->XI->Idoc scenario.
We would like to post "n" idocs to SAP for the "n" records fetched from database.
Due to performance issues we are not using BPM.
Is there any other way to post multiple idocs without using BPM.
rgds
Prashant

HI,
As suggested by others, it is possible without BPM.
For this, you need to alter the Idoc Schema i.e change the occurence of the idoc in the idoc schema. Then import this xsd as a External Definition into Repository..then mapping etc ..

Moorthy

File to multiple Idocs using external definitions.

Hi all,
I have to create multiple idocs based on one field from source side.
Inorder to do this..I have decided to change the occurance of Idoc from 1 to 1..unbounded , in the xsd i have downloaded from standard Idoc.
which i have a plan to map to the filed , based on that i need to create new Idoc.
I have tried importing the modified xsd into external definition. but how i should relate it to standard idoc which I have mapped earlier?.
Thanks,
venu.

HI Venu,
<i>
I have tried importing the modified xsd into external definition. but how i should relate it to standard idoc which I have mapped earlier?.</i>
After changing the Idoc occurence , you have imported the xsd into external definition. So this will act as as new message type for you in the mapping.
You can not use old mapping here.

One src message to multiple IDocs without BPM?

Is it possible to cerate multiple IDocs from one source incoming message without BPM?
I tried the scenario, but I get following error:
<SAP:Code area="OUTBINDING">CO_TXT_MMF_ENGINETYPE</SAP:Code>
<SAP:Stack>Messages in multi-message format can only be sent to one Adapter Engine</SAP:Stack>
Any ideas?
Thanx a lot!

Multiple sender - Using BPM

Hi,
I have 4 file senders to send message of same structure to BPM to process it.
There is no corelation between the messages.
But I am wondering, will it work, if I add multiple receivers using fork step and initiating each one as 'start process'?
Can we have multiple receivers in BPM with any corelation?
Please advice
Thanks,
Karthik
Edited by: Karthik Kaveriselvan on May 31, 2009 10:10 AM

But we need not bundle the messages.
agreed....but since the messages are coming from different sources and if you need to collsct the messages separately you will need to define correlation
As you mentioned that the messages have the same structure...check if you can cheat the BPM and use the following concept...not sure whether it will work...give it a try:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/content.htm
The only reason of having two senders in the same BPM, the way these messages to be treated are same.
could not make what you exactly mean by the above statement.

Abhishek.

We need to create output file for each record. In this case, the system should generate 26 output files.
I imported the RFC and created the required interfaces and designed BPM also.
Start --> Receive step --> Synchronous Send --> Asynchronous Send
But, I stuck in how to deliver each record to the output file from BPM.
Any idea, friends. (like using BPM Multi-line option. or 'Receiver From' property in the Send Step)
Kindly help me friends to solve this issue.
Thanking you.
Kind Regards,
Jeg P.

Hi
You can do it by creating one another message interface having structure same as your table.
What you have to do is create a mapping in such a way that for each record in table one message(newly created) must be created.
Use that mapping in an interface mapping, remember occurence of target message should be 0..Unbounded both in message mapping and interface mapping.
Now create one single line message and one multiline message in BPM for newly created message.Use transformation step with new interface mapping, mention source(RFC response) and target message(use multiline element of new message) for the transformation step.
Use send step inside a block,set block mode to "forEach", and attach new message to that send step.
Use multiline and single element of new message in the property window of block.
Now your BPM will look like
Start ---> Receiver ---> Synchronous send ---> Transformation ---> Block ---> Async Send(within block)
I think in this way you can implement what you want.
