Container Variable ?

I define alert category! in XI 3.0 and it does display all of them with value(s)... such has
SXMS_MSG_GUID
SXMS_FROM_PARTY
SXMS_FROM_SERVICE
SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE
SXMS_ERROR_CAT
You know when you check XML messages like goto SXMB_MONI and couple click any of them it does show big error coding, and big messages
Which variable sould I user to display that error...
Please Advised
thanks

Hi
I have also looked for this. But what i found is this is controlled by RWB and all ABAP types cannot be used.
These are standard container elements provided by SAP to use for generating alert for PI. Using BPM we can define our own Data elements and can raise exception. Otherwise it never worked.:)
We can create Elements on our own but not getting populated (non BPM case) while sending emails.
SXMB_MONI all the fields are available as Data elements in ABAP but alerts raised by RWB (JAVA) not able to generate them
Thanks

Error while assigning Payload to container variable, Activate SXI_Cache

Hi experts,
I have a BPM-Szenario. There is a ContainerOperation where I want to fill a Container Variable with a Payload variable. Unfourtunately I get an error in TA sxi_cache: "The value of expression "&.....&" cannot serve as the source of an Assignment.
My question is, is it really unpossible to do this?
By the way: After them my bpm in sxi_cache is blocked. Also if i delete the container operation it is a lot of luck to activate my bpm.
My actions to activate the BPM are:
IR - F7 = all is ok
ID - Delete IP and Create the IP new
SLD-Cache - Activate in IR and ID
SXI_Cache - Delta and Full Cache Refresh
TA SWWL - There are no error work items
All actions do have no influence to the sxi_cache.
Are there any ideas from the experts?
Best
Mathias

Hello Mathias,
How do you assign the container varaible? Are you sure, that your XPath-expression is correct? Is your target container a simple typed container?

How to collect JScrollPanes into a Container variable? (urgent...)

Please help me in following problem:
I can collect succesfully one JScrollPane into a Container variable allComponents and then show this Container in application window. However, I would like to collect several JScrollPanes into this same Container variable but it does not work. Should I use some kind of add command?
I tried something like
allComponents.add(jspane);
but I got error code "variable allComponents might not have been initialized" allthough I have tried my best to initialize it.
Thanks for your kind help!
Snippets from my program:
class SwingApplication implements ActionListener
public Container createComponents()
Container allComponents;
jspane = new JScrollPane(panel);
jspane2 = new JScrollPane(cards);
allComponents = jspane; // THIS WORKS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO COLLECT BOTH jspane AND jspane2 WITH ADD COMMAND
return allComponents;
class DragImage
{ public static void main(String[] args)
JFrame frame = new JFrame("SwingApplication");
SwingApplication app = new SwingApplication();
Container contents = app.createComponents();
frame.getContentPane().add(contents, BorderLayout.CENTER);

THanks for your interest!!
Perhaps I give the whole source code
The problem lies in the following place:
allComponents = jspane;
return allComponents;
I would like to use some kind of command
allComponents.add(jspane);
but it does not seem to work. I get the error "variable allComponents might not be initialized".
The program should print images in two rows. With my current knowledge i can only print one row of images.
Thanks!

Intenal table as container variable in the alert category

Hi
Is it possible to create internal table as Container Variable in the alert category. If it is possible how can we pass the data to this internal table in the Run time to the funtion module SALRT_CREATE_API.I have tried this to pass the data to the container parameter
it_container ,but i was unable to achive it .If anyone has come across this please guide me .
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

You can use the Forms "From Clause Query" as the datasource for the data block. Then you can change the QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME using set_block_property, so you can use any SQL statement you like. Of course you must name/alias the columns in a consistent manner so that the number of database items on the block matches those being queried.

Using Standard Container Variables in Email Alerts from BPM

Dear All
While creating alert categories from ALRTCATDEF we have a Long Text Tab where we can use Container Variables like SXMS_MSG_GUID ,SXMS_RULE_NAME, SXMS_ERROR_CAT , SXMS_ERROR_CODE etc create the mail contents. We can also display the message passed by the BPM by using the variable
ALERTDYNAMIC_SHORTTEXT , ALERTDYNAMIC_LONGTEXT .
In my case when I call the alert category from the BPM , the message passed by the BPM is displayed through the ALERTDYNAMIC_LONGTEXT in the alert inbox , but I am not able to utilize the other container variables (like SXMS_MSG_GUID ,SXMS_RULE_NAME, SXMS_ERROR_CAT ) for displaying the messageid ,error category etc. Using these variables for alerts invoked from BPM results in Blank Values for all the container variables.
If the alert is not invoked from BPM these variables are getting populated.
My question is is there a way by which we can utilize these variables for Alerts thrown from BPM.

Nilesh .

XPATH Predicate for container variable of simple type in BPM

Hi Experts,
I have read various threads and blogs with this topic and as I couldn't get a clear view, hence I am raising it here. In my BPM, I am collecting idocs by means of a finite loop. I have used a receive step, container step(to append the idocs) and another container(to increment the counter_variable) in a loop. I want to run the loop for the condition: counter_variable<=3 whereas 'counter_variable' is a container variable of 'simple XSD type(XSD: integer)'.
All the blogs and threads have demonstrated like how to use the EX operator with container variable of type 'Abstract interface'. But how can i incorporate the above scenario for a container variable of simple xsd type ? Please share your ideas.
Regards,
Laawanya

so this is what you need to do,
1. in your loop have a container operation that will increment your simple integer variable each time a message come in.
2. for your loop the condition will be, left operand (simple integer variable) /= (not equal) 3 (Constant)
Ref: SAP BASIS (SWCV) -> http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns -> Integration Process -> BpmPatternCollectPayload
the only difference here will be the loop condition to be altered as i have mentioned above.

Accessing container variable of BPM in Message Mapping function

Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

Hello,
I am using User decision Step in BPM.
When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.
If I use container variables in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully but status in SXI_CACHE shows 99.
It shows the below error
"Problem updating an integration process with object ID 073AF2C620F43E839B2903344DEE29BB. Symbol 'CE/KO' expected at position 1 in expression ''
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shabari

Hi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?
Maybe discussion [in this thread|BPM activation Error in SXI_cache; can help, it is unanswered though.

BPM and own container variables and their usage in transform

Hi folks,
I have a question about the usage of own container variables within the transform step of a BPM.
I want to know whether I can get the actual content of such a container variable within the mapping being done in the transform step.
I have been looking into this forum upon related topic(s) but somehow they all seemed to go about being able to get standard values like messageID etc within the transform step and NOT about getting your own variables ... It is clear that getting those standard variables will not work directly ( not without actually getting them into an XML payload before entering the BPM) ...
So basically I want to define global BPM variables, populate them with some content during BPM execution and then at some point reference those container variables in the mapping ( prob via java code ) in a transform step ... Is that supported ?
Regards,
Steven

Hi,
>>>So basically I want to define global BPM variables, populate them with some content during BPM execution and then at some point reference those container variables in the mapping ( prob via java code ) in a transform step ... Is that supported ?
no, this is not possible
you can only compare those varabiels with some of your message tags (in a loop step for example)

How to Access a BPM container variable in XI graphical message mapping

Hello XI BPM and Mapping experts,
is it possible to access a BPM container variable from an graphical mapping?
If yes, how ?
We need this for the following scenario:
IDOC to BPM.
BPM transforms and sends transformed IDOC to fileadapter
If both steps are successful a STATUS.SYSTAT01 IDOC should be send back to SAP-ISU with status 06.
If one of these steps fails the status in the SYSTAT01 should be set to 05. (Exception branch of block)
We want to avoid to write 2 mapping programs for mapping the SYSTAT01.
Instead we would like to use a BPM Container Variable which contains the status.
In the mapping for the SYSTAT01 we want to use this Container Variable.
Is this possible?
Thanks for soon answers.
Regards Marlies

Hi Marlies,
Is not possible to acces a BPM container variable from graphical mapping. For other hand, you can to use runtime variables for this purpose.
You could create an abstract interface with a message type having a single node with the required value and using this message in other mapping.

How to read container variable in UDF

Hello expert,
I have created a container variable(var_callerId) in an integrationprocess.
In a mapping I want to read the container variable with an UDF.
Can anyone send me the code for the UDF please ?
I can't find the solution in any post message / blog.
Thx for your help!
Best regards,
Juergen

Hi navneet,
thanks for your fast reply.
Let me explain why I wanted to use container variables:
(Perhaps there is a better way to fix the requirement)
I've following IP
Message Interface (input)
<getData>
<callerInfo>
<callerID>SYSA</callerID>
<SessionID>43545455545355</SessionID>
<number>3434344334</number>
</callerInfo>
</getData>
Then I have a mapping (<number>) to call a webservice.
I get the data from the webservice.
At last I will send the data back to the business System.
But I need the both tags from the input interface (SessionID, callerID) again, to send it back.
I tried a mapping to map sessionID and callerID from the input interface to the output interface, but it doesn't work.
So I thought I can store the sessionID and callerID in a container variable and in a mapping I will get it back with an UDF.
I think there should be a possiblility to get the stored value from the container variable inside the IP. But I don't find any solution.
I don't understand your solution with the global container. How can I access to the container variable(IP).
Thx for your help
Best regards
Juergen

Add 2 container variables in control step BPM

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I need to add 2 container variables in control step under AlertMessage and I am using under exception branch
Control Step
StepName: XXXX
Action : XXXX
AlertCategory: XXXX
AlertMessage: ?
I am successful putting one container variable in alert message with &AAAA& but I want to add another variable values &BBBB& as well.
When I tried to keep variables as &AAAA& and &BBBB&..I can return code 99 in sxi_cache.
How can I achieve this with BPM..I am using sap pi 7.0

may be i need to explain more clearly..
I have 2 container variables with simple type which holds 2 different payload values.
Under exception branch I have a control step to throw alert. In this I need to pass alert messages with these 2 varaibles.
As I said earlier I am able to pass successfully one container variable value but when I insert the second variable it is not picking up and when I check sxi_cache the IP return was 99 which means some error occured while assiging these values.( I tried in different ways)
But when I inserted has &AAAA& and &BBBB& then reuton code was 0 but whn I run scenario it is not populating both values
Can anyone please help me how I can populate 2 variable values in alert message under control step.

Can we set a default value for the container variable in BPM?

Can we set a default value for the container variable.?
Suppose if i have a loop step and i have given a container variable i=5 as end condition.What value will it take during its first execution?Can we set the value for container before a recieve step?

Hi
Define Container Variable of Type integer and Category Simple Type .Use Condtion in Loop.
In Container Operation Step Assign value and Use Expression to
Increase or Decrease Valus according to your operation.

Reg:Container variables in BPM

Hi...
I have done one scenario with BPM.
In that i have used the below steps.
1. Fork with 2 receive steps.
2. and two container steps for the 2 recieve steps ( vara= "I" for the first recieve step, and varb= "S" for the second receive step)
3.wait -- for 1 min
4. switch (if vara ="I" and varb="S", then branch 1 should execute, if vara="I",then branch 2should execute else we need to cancel the process)
the above steps i have used and executed the scenario. It is working fine. BUt i am having problem with the containers.
I am not able to satisfy the condition for [if vara="I" and varb="S",]
The switch is not going to check the above conditon because whenever the file is recieved the container variable will get updated and wait for 1 min and will go for switch contion. So here i can check only for single condition at a time.
Can you please help me how to check the both the container variables at an time..?
Regards,
Leela

Can you please help me how to check the both the container variables at an time..?
So when the Switch Step is executed are both the variables filled with the required values (I am not able to understand your query clearly)....if both the variables are filled then in the condition editor you can define the condition based on both the values (use And...it will be Insert Expression ...for executing Branch 1)
It will be something like var1 = I And var2 = S .....while selcting the left operand select the appropriate message.
If you are on 7.1 then create two condition variables representing var1 and var2.
Similarly when defing condition for Branch2 it will be only var1 to be used.

Abhishek.

Container Variable in Alert

Daer Experts,
I m trying to configure Alert and in the Long Text, I want to pass the value of an element in the pay load.
What I believe that, I have to create a container variable .
I think that while creating container variable, under D.TYPE Tab, the radio button "Object Type" is to be selected and Object Type should be "XML OBJECT TYPE" . When I m clicking on F4 button,I am getting a list of Objects. How I'll include mine in the list?
Pls let me know, is there any other way to do?
Please give some solution.

Container Variable in Alert Cat

Hi,
I have a FTP To FTP scenario, where I have to handle alerts if any error occurs in PI. For Example FTP Password is changed in the Target system and not updated in the Receiver Channel. Obviously the Adapter throws an error saying the Password is wrong.
My motto is to send an alert mail to External ID with the details of the Error occurred in the XI and the name of the file for which this error occurred.
As the Container Variable are limited in the Alert Category, how can I catch the file name for which the error occurred.
Could some throw light on it.
Thanks
Azias

You can use this link to see How to raise Alerts with variables from the messages payload XI:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated
USE THE FOLLOWING UDF TO GET THE VALUE OF THE SOURCE FILENAME AND STORE THE VALUE OF THIS SOURCE FILENAME IN AN EXPORT PARAMETER NAMED "exportParam" declared under the Signature tab of message mapping:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
OutputParameters params= gc.getOutputParameters();
if(params.exists("exportParam") == true)
params.setString("exportParam", ourSourceFileName);
return ourSourceFileName;
Then use the value of this export parameter exportParam to raise an alert in BPM control step where you can easily use the value of this parameter in the short or long text of alert.
For this, you need to create a container variable in BPM of category SimpleType and Type as xsd:string with some name say "param".
Then in the alert text, you can make use of this parameter as &param& to get its value in alert short or long text.
Thanks
