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.

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?

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

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.

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

Bundling of IDOCs using BPM.PLS Help .Its very very URGENT

Hi all,
I have a IDOC to file scenario in which I have to bundle some number of INVOIC02 IDOCs.
For this I have an IDOC whosw occurance is 1...1.
I have an XSD for the same IDOC whose max occurance is 1.....9999999999.
Si I have created one mapping for these two(i.e IDOC with max occurs 1 and IDOC with max occurs 9999999999.)
I created one more mapping for IDOC XSD and the target file structure.
For this scenario how many abstract interfaces and interface mappings do I need to create?
Can anybody explain the BPM flow in detail in this case?
Thanks in advance.

Idoc to Idoc using BPM

Dear Friends,
I am sending the Idoc from one ECC server to other ECC server using XI, it has been completed ,but reciever side after one hour only it has to be updated.
so in this case how it's possible with BPM or any other method is available.
Please let me know the process.

Shalini shah.

With BPM you can have a wait step inbetween the receive and send ........not a good option to make the BPM wait for 1 hour....
Without BPM...refer the replies of Samiullah in these two threads:
Re: Can I slow down Processing of each mesg in PI?
Re: Delay in MM possible ?

JDBC to IDOC using BPM

Hi Experts,
I am doing the scenario JDBC to IDOC
Note: i need a solution without stored procedures
My requirement is , in sender JDBC side
1) We need to select data from 3 tables from the DB ( I think we can do this by JOIN query specified in the channel)
2) after selecting data we need to update all 3 tables
(I think we can't do this, as we have only one update option in the sender JDBC channel). So i want to go for BPM.
Can we do like this...??
2 mappings:
--> sender JDBC o/p structure (MT-1)   to IDOC structure(MT-2)                                         (MM-1)----> (IM-1)
--> sender JDBC o/p structure (MT-1) to JDBC update structure (for 3 tables) (MT-3)                 (MM-2) ----> (IM-2)
BPM:
MT-1                    (IM-1)                                                     (IM-2)
Receive           Trnsformation             AsyncSend to R/3             Transformation             Async Send to JDBC(Receiver)
Step                    Step1                                                   Step2
MT = Message Type;   MI = Message Interface;    IM = Interface mapping;    MM = Message mapping
Edited by: murali krishna on Mar 9, 2010 8:24 AM

u do not require a BPM..
the method that u specified is right..
mappings:
--> sender JDBC o/p structure (MT-1)   to IDOC structure(MT-2)                                         (MM-1)----> (IM-1)
--> sender JDBC o/p structure (MT-1) to JDBC update structure (for 3 tables) (MT-3)                 (MM-2) ----> (IM-2)
just in the 2nd mapping that updates the tables the receiver service is same as the sender ..
also specify both the mappings in the interface determination...first the update mapping and then the Idoc one and click the maintain order at runtime so that Idoc is trigeered only after update mapping is done..

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

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.

Collecting Idocs without using BPM

Hi Experts,
I am working on a sceanrio, where Idocs are coming from sap and we need to generate a single Flat file out of them.
For this scenario first we need to collect the Idocs and then process them to make a single file output.
To achieve the same I am using the BPM to first collect the Idocs and make a packet out of them and then processs it to generate a single flat file.
Can someone please suggest me that, How can we achieve the same without the BPM.
If yes, how can we do that?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pradeep

Pradeep ,
Option 1 : /people/stefan.grube/blog/2006/09/18/collecting-idocs-without-using-bpm
here you collect them as a file and file is picked up and sent to the target
Option 2 :
in WE20 in ERP set idoc package to 50
in XI sender idoc channel - package to 50
XI will receive 50 IDOCs at once...
(courtesy Michal....till then i thought there is no sender idoc adapter )
Option 3 : collect using BPM.
Option 4 : This is what i woould suggest....no need of collecting you can send one idoc at a time generate the file.....why do u want to collect?

Collecting IDOCs in BPM

Hello BPM experts,
I needed some help with one of the scenarios with BPM.
We are sending outbound IDOCs from ECC to PI (v7.0 SP14)
Step 1 - Process kicks off from ECC.
1.There are multiple partners in WE20(Configured in WE20) which sends out IDOCs through the single tRFC port(WE21).
Step 2- XI starts to collect the IDOCs from these different partners in ECC(Configured in WE20) using a wait step in ccBPM.
Step 3-By using correlation,the collected IDOCs recieved from different partners are translated and send to File adapter in seperate files.
Note:For example if there are 10 partners in WE20 which sends to 1000 IDOCs,these transactions grouped and translated into 10 files and finally transmitted to partner using file adapter.
We tested the scenarios and it is working fine,In production we faced an issue with BPM processing larger number of messages.SAP asked to apply note 1147377 to resolve this issue with bigger load.
My concern here is if the mapping for a particular partner fails,will this cause an issue to the rest of 9 partners ? Please give me your suggetions.

Posting Purchase Orders (IDOC Adapter) according to Vendor using BPM's

Hi,
My requirement is to post purchase orders into SAP r/3 according to vendor wise using IDOC adapter using BPM's.
Input is a FLAT File which contains all the Purchase order items/records for various vendors.
We need to process these items/records according to vendor and post it into SAP r/3 using IDOC Adapter within 8hrs processing time(Time Bound).
What i mean is: the process should collect all respective vendor related items/records from the flat file and post respective purchase orders in SAP. That means if 5 items out of 20 are from one vendor, we shud create a PO in SAP with 5 items for that vendor and likewise for the rest of the items.
Please explain the procedure and detail Mapping in step by step procedure... how to send 'n' items for a PO.
Regards,
Ravi

for idoc configuration refer
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SAP+R3+%28Idocs%29+To+XI+--+Steps+Summarized
Source WIKI. As far as BPM is concerned, set the correlation based on vendor number. this will ensure u collect the message according to vendor number.
there are two option set for ur for posting the PO WRT vendor number:
1. using BAPI
2. using idocs
The mapping for both the methods are straight forward except care need to be taken for mapping the data segment esp WRT the vendor number.
