Events and receiving process
Hello,
I have defined 2 processes. The first proces, starts an pl/sql function where a raise of a certain event is executed. The subscription behind this event is also executed. so far so good.
Now i have a second process in the same item type that starts with a receive event for the raised event.
So i would think that , after executing the subscription, workflow would continue with my second process as it
listens to the raised event. But nothing happens. What did i do wrong here ?
Chris.
Always remember to start the process the itemtype/itemkey combination should be unique. When you try to start the second process through the event, the itemkey remains same for the second process. So it will not start the process, aslo it will not show any error.
To avoid this try to call the process of another itemtype. Or else if you want to create both process under same itemtype, you have to write a rule function and change the event key in the rule function.

Re: Service Object events and LockMgr
On the option that you have considered, I have implemented the same model
in my previous project (using Java/RMI), but I felt that it is more than
what is normally needed for concurrency protection.
I can suggest another option that is worth considering which is in place in
our app for concurrency.
Almost every table in our db has created By, created On, modifed By,
modified On columns. The parent class of all business objects has
attributes that correspond to these four columns. In addition to these
four, there is a fifth attribute (introduced when concurrency was built)
called originalModifiedOn. Upon retrieval from the db, it is set to
modifiedOn value (from the db), during UPDATE, the value in this column is
added part of the WHERE clause. So when the second user tried to do save
the same object, the underlying db update will get a 'zero rows updated'
which is translated into an application error 'possible concurrency
error'. The user re-retreives the now 'stale' object before applying their
edits.
A lot of these things are and can be built into the framework imposing very
little work that each Object needs to do to have concurrency protection.
I am not sure if there is a mention in the Patterns paper of this model,
but it is very easy to implement and supports what is needed.

Subject: Service Object events and LockMgr
Hi folks,
We're currently looking at strategies for dealing with the simultaneous
updates to the database from multiple clients (concurrency
management). That is when two (or more) clients load the same object to
edit it, then make different changes and save them to the database.
We have a copy of a Forté document (from the "Patterns" course, I
think) which describes three methods of dealing with this:
1) Lock the database table row as soon as a client select it for editing
and hold the lock until it is saved.
2) Immediately before 'saving' check that the database hasn't changed
(either by reading what's there before updating, or by using a huge
'where' clause that contains all unchanged fields)
3) The Forté "LockMgr" pattern, which uses a service object with notifier
proxies to allow locking and updating notification between the clients.
Option 3 is obviously the most robust method, but it requires a fair
amount of coding and could also be a bottleneck for database reads and
writes.
But I have another option for which I was looking for opinions. What if
we had a "Change Event manager" which broadcast an event every time
a change is made to the database. Each business class would have its
own event. If the event had the object's primary key as a parameter, then
clients editing that particular object type could check to see if the object
currently on screen is the one that changed. That way you could disable
the 'save' until they had refreshed their on-screen data.
It's not particularily elegant, but it's reasonably simple to implement. It
also deals with changes sent across our WAN from other database
servers.
But this option is only worthwhile if you can replicate the "Change Event
manager" SO and still register for an event on the client. Can clients
register for SO events and receive an event generated by any of the SO's
replicates? Or when you register for an SO's event do you register for
only one instance of the SO?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Just wonder exactly how this Lock Manager can be implemented. Do you mean that you are
going to cache every object that is instantiated from the database? Or you just cache
the object id, primary key, etc?
Frankly speaking, I won't attempt to due with this kind of currency coding myself as
the database vendor has spent years in coding just to do this.

I would recommend you to use the following approach (of course if you
do not have some special requirements :) ):
1. You should have a LockManager that will synchronize all clients in
their attempt to modify/delete objects in your application.
2. Each client, when attempts to modify/delete some object, it must
LOCK it using the services provided with the LockManager.
3. The requested operation can be performed only after successful
locking.
4. If a lock can not be obtained (for example if the object is already
locked by some other client) then the operation is aborted.
The details of this pattern depends on your needs. :)
Hope this helps.

Event and Process Types - Urgent
Hi All,
I am little confused between Events and Process Types in a PC. How an event can be used in a PC ?
I know that SM62- To create event, SM64 Execute Event. But how its used in PC.
Thanks in adv for your reply.Events can be used to start the process chain based on the event raise. In order to use the events
1. Create an event using SM62
2. Go to your process chain start variant and select the start type as After event and give the event name which you created and then activate and schedule the process chain
3.Now go back to sm64 and trigger the event that should actually start the Process chain. This can be monitored using the Process chain log.

BDT Event DSAVE and Error Processing
Hi there.
I would appreciate it if someone can help me please.
I have a requirement to update the contract account on the save of Business Partner changes. To do the BP Change I am using BAPI_ISUPARTNER_CHANGE.
On the save the event DSAVE is entered and in there, we have a custom FM to update certain fields of the Contract Account.
The core to my issue is that I wish to report any failure in the CA update back to the BAPI (BP Change)that has initiated the process in the event.
I have been attempting this by FM: 'BUS_MESSAGE_STORE' in the event and then by calling FM:BUS_MESSAGE_GET in the BAPI BAPI_ISUPARTNER_CHANGE when processing returns from the event. This does not work unfortunately. I get the message: "Message handler not activated" from the BUS_MESSAGE_GET.
I am sure I am missing a few steps here.
Again, I would appreciate it if anyone can help me resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Mick.
Edited by: Mick Ahern on Jul 29, 2008 12:15 PMHi Ankit,
Try to do the enhancement in the BDT event DSAVC and would recommend you to use the FM VKK_FICA_GLOBAL_MEMORY_GET for finding the lock information.
Thanks,

How to include Events Concept in Process Chain and how to trigger it
Hi
I have Three Process Chains PC1, PC2, PC3 .
I want to trigger there Process Chains by Events .
I want PC1 needs to run every day 7:00am . And once it is finished then PC2 needs to start . And once PC2 is finsihed then PC3 needs to execute .
So please give me step by step process for Process for implementing the Events in this model and give me the steps to include Events concept in my model .
Thanks Alot
Regards
rizwanHi,
You can do this without event also. Schedule PC1 first and then have PC2 as local to your PC1 and PC3 as local to PC2. In that way, as soon as PC1 is done it will trigger PC2 and as soon as PC2 is done it will in turn trigger PC3.
If you want it through an event, first create event in SM62 and you can trigger this event in SM64. Then for the PC1 in start variant, click on select conditions, select After Event and give this event name. Now again its better & efficient to trigger this even automatically, for which you need to write an ABAP program in SE38 and define a variant there. This ABAP program can be scheduled as a background job in SM36, click on Click on step on top. Give program name and variant.Click save.Next click on Start Condition and schedule is as your require it to run. So this background job starts automatically and runs your ABAP program which in turn will trigger your event and PC's will get triggered.
For both the approaches, you have to have PC2 & PC3 as Local chains as I explained above.

Subscribe event and processing with data
Hi.
We made a portal component with DynPageWithJSP model and this program subscribe event from other iview.
Other iview trigger event and store Data using data bag.
When event trggered my portal component, load data and I wan to process with this data in PAI routine.
So, Here is JSP file.
<%@ taglib uri="tagLib" prefix="hbj" %>
<jsp:useBean id="SalesOrderBean" scope="application" class="com.sap.training.portal.SalesOrderBean" />
<script>
function eventFired () {
var Cust_No = EPCM.loadClientData('urn:com.sap.training.portal','Cust_No');
var Sales_Org = EPCM.loadClientData('urn:com.sap.training.portal','Sales_Org');
alert(Cust_No + " " + Sales_Org);
var funcName = htmlb_formid + "_getHtmlbElementId";
func = window[funcName];
var ipField1 = eval(func("Cust_No"));
ipField1.setValue(Cust_No);
var ipField2 = eval(func("Sales_Org"));
ipField2.setValue(Sales_Org);
var form = document.all(htmlb_formid);
form.submit();
EPCM.subscribeEvent('urn:com.sap.training.portal',
'SalesOrder',
eventFired);
</script>
<hbj:content id="myContext" >
<hbj:page title="PageTitle">
<hbj:form id="myFormId">
<hbj:inputField id="Cust_No" type="string" maxlength="20" value="" jsObjectNeeded="true" >
<% Cust_No.setVisible(false);%>
</hbj:inputField>
<hbj:inputField id="Sales_Org" type="string" maxlength="20" value="" jsObjectNeeded="true" >
<% Sales_Org.setVisible(false);%>
</hbj:inputField>
<hbj:textView id="welcome">
<% welcome.setText("Hello, " + SalesOrderBean.getCust_No() + " from " + SalesOrderBean.getSales_Org()); %>
</hbj:textView>
</hbj:form>
</hbj:page>
</hbj:content>
Above code, I checked portal compoent load data when event trigger. (in statement : alert(Cust_No + " " + Sales_Org);)
After then, I try to access that data using following code.
public void doProcessAfterInput() throws PageException {
InputField myInputField1 = (InputField) getComponentByName("Cust_No");
if (myInputField1 != null) {
this.Cust_No = myInputField1.getValueAsDataType().toString();
InputField myInputField2 = (InputField) getComponentByName("Sales_Org");
if (myInputField2 != null) {
this.Sales_Org = myInputField2.getValueAsDataType().toString();
IPortalComponentRequest request = (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
IPortalComponentContext myContext = request.getComponentContext();
SalesOrderBean myNameContainer = (SalesOrderBean) myContext.getValue("SalesOrderBean");
myNameContainer.setCust_No(Cust_No);
myNameContainer.setSales_Org(Sales_Org);
I can't acess it.
Is there any problem ?
Welcome to any comment.

try placing submit button...and use onClientClick="eventFired" in jsp file...try this out...
hope it works fine...

Difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process
Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process available in PI7.1?
SAP says that Monitoring process is a special kind of integration process that receives the event messages.
My doubt is even integration process can receive the event messages.
Why these two different type of entities are created for the same purpose?
And what is the technical difference between the two in terms of PI perspective?
Regards,
Sami.My question is now answered.
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70a25d3a-e4fa-2a10-43b5-b4169ba3eb17]
On page 17 of this pdf following sentence is mentioned :-
From technical perspective, there is no difference between monitoring process and integration process.
Though logically those are two deifferent things.
Monitoring porcesses are used to receive only event messages that is comprises of event data only.
Like Purchase order creation is a event and its event message will have the event data like Order Id, Created on, Created by, Quantity etc., instead of whole purchase order.
Where as Integration Process is a way to provide solution in some specific circummtances like where we have to automate our process or where we need something in between for the course of communication.
Guys thanks for your precious time.

Sami. -
ALBPM - Batch events and Load Balancing
Hi,
We are planning to design a BPM solution for one of our current applications. The need we have is that the BPM solution should be able to start process instances in a batch mode. We receive about 25,000 to 30,000 events in a batch file and we need to start one BPM process instance for each record. Currently we are evaluating the ALBPM, but trying to figure out a best approach to do this. Also I would like to know what will be be ther better options to configure load balance instances of BPM for this scenario. I could not find any documents from BEA to address these. Anybody tried or came across this situation? Any documents/examples that can answer or suggest options for the batch modes? Thanks in advance!First of all, load balancing applies at various levels.
1) load balancing at the horizontal level is only achieved by creating a WLS cluster and deploying the BPM engine in the cluster.
2) load balancing at the vertical level can be achieved by creating many BPM engines and deploying processes on each Engine, this will distribute instances between the engines.
if you need to create 25k instances of the same process in a batch, there is no problem, it will queue the executions and dispatch them to the available threads.
A good approach would be to create instances in smaller chunks, to do this you can create a "batch process" that can get the file, split it in smaller chunks and process one chunk at a time. An important thing to consider when working with so many instances is that the transactions tend to get bigger and longer, so if you have a huge chunk, you can get a transaction timeout or a DB exception because of redo logs sizes.
Hope this helps!

Multiple start events in a process
How does one add more than one start event to a process?
"6.2.1.2 Using Multiple Start Events in a Process" of the modeling and implementation guide suggests this should be possible. I'd like to be able to create process instances using a none start event followed by a user task defined with the initiator pattern, so users can initiate the process. I also need to support creation of process instances via web service call. I should be able to accomplish this using a none start event followed by a receive task. However, I can't seem to get both in a single process. It only seems to allow a single start event.Sorry, I didn't realize that my component palette was being hidden - so I was missing a lot of activity/flow object types.
Why is there only a small subset of flow objects displayed in the header of the process editor? (the one with the swimlanes) -

Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.
How to create idoc?

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
Try this..Hope this will help.
Steps to configuration(Basis) >>
1. Create Logical System (LS) for each applicable ALE-enabled client
2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers
3. Create background user, to be used by ALE(with authorizaton for ALE postings)
4. Create RFC Destinations(SM59)
5. Ports in Idoc processing(WE21)
6. Generate partner profiles for sending system
The functional configuration(Tcode: SALE)
Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
Generate outbound partner profiles;
Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)
6. Define Partner Profile(WE20)
Important Transaction Codes:
SALE - IMG ALE Configuration root
WE20 - Manually maintain partner profiles
BD64 - Maintain customer distribution model
BD71 - Distribute customer distribution model
SM59 - Create RFC Destinations
BDM5 - Consistency check (Transaction scenarios)
BD82 - Generate Partner Profiles
BD61 - Activate Change Pointers - Globally
BD50 - Activate Change Pointer for Msg Type
BD52 - Activate change pointer per change.doc object
BD59 - Allocation object type -> IDOC type
BD56 - Maintain IDOC Segment Filters
BD53 - Reduction of Message Types
BD21 - Select Change Pointer
BD87 - Status Monitor for ALE Messages
BDM5 - Consistency check (Transaction scenarios)
BD62 - Define rules
BD79 - Maintain rules
BD55 - Defining settings for IDoc conversion
WEDI - ALE IDoc Administration
WE21 - Ports in Idoc processing
WE60 - IDoc documentation
SARA - IDoc archiving (Object type IDOC)
WE47 - IDoc status maintenance
WE07 - IDoc statistics
BALE - ALE Distribution Administration
WE05 - IDoc overview
BD87 - Inbound IDoc reprocessing
BD88 - Outbound IDoc reprocessing
BDM2 - IDoc Trace
BDM7 - IDoc Audit Analysis
BD21 - Create IDocs from change pointers
SM58 - Schedule RFC Failures
Basic config for Distributed data:
BD64: Maintain a Distributed Model
BD82: Generate Partner Profile
BD64: Distribute the distribution Model
Programs
RBDMIDOC Creating IDoc Type from Change Pointers
RSEOUT00 Process all selected IDocs (EDI)
RBDAPP01 - Inbound Processing of IDocs Ready for Transfer
RSARFCEX - Execute Calls Not Yet Executed
RBDMOIND - Status Conversion with Successful tRFC Execution
RBDMANIN - Start error handling for non-posted IDocs
RBDSTATE - Send Audit Confirmations
FOr testing you can use WE19.
You can directly create an iDoc using some transaction like...
Use TCODE bd10 - to Send Data
and TCODE bd11 - to Get Data
and you can check the IDoc List using TCODE we02.
As you want step by step procedure.
1. Define Logical System and Assign Logical System
TCODE sale
2. Define RFC
TCODE sm59
3. Define Port
TCODE we21
4. Define Partner Profile
TCODE we20
5. Define Distribution Model
TCODE bd64
6. Send Data
TCODE bd10
7. Get Data
TCODE bd11
8. IDoc List
TCODE we02
There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Extended IDOCs

IDoc Packaging on Event Driven Message Processing Message Filter
Hi Experts,
I am testing IDoc Packaging on Event Driven Message Processing and I got struck at scheduling the job.
My scenario is IDoc to File. I have created sender and receiver id with coresponding interfaces. While creating the message filter I have selected outbound channel --> IDoc Packaging Option n I have took 10 as Package Size in Messages. In SM 36 I have created JOB and in the step I have selected SXMS_START_JOBS.
Now my problem is while creating the JOB in SM36 what condition should I select? How do I test this event driven message processing with IDoc packaging??
Please guide me...
Regards
SAPTOTALin the event, you should also have a job for RSEOUT00 scheduled so that the IDocs are send out as a package
