Exception Handling in BPMs

Hello,
I guess this topic was already discussed here, but I couldn't find any sufficient answer to my problem.
I have a simple asynchronous send-step in my BPM. I'd like the BPM to move into an exception branch if the send step fails due to a sending error (e.g. the target url is not correct). But unfortunately in case of such a sending error the BPM ignores the exception branch and continues the normal path. I have no Idea why it does not work properly.
Thx for ideas in advance.
Regards.
Oliver.

hi,
did you specify the use of exception in your send step?
or did you only define it in the block step?
have a look at this example:

Exception handling without BPM

Hello,
I have done exception handling with BPM.
i.e. when there exception comes in mapping I have use Block Exception Handler.
Can this be done without BPM.
Please snd me blog for it.
Regards

Hi,
As explained by Michal it is correct, but in message mapping , we can raise an alert .
See the below links

11g ADF TaskFlow Exception Handling in BPM

Hi Guys
BPM 11g
I have a human task that is implemented as an ADF task flow. I would like to be able to throw an exception from the ADF application and have it handled by the BPM process, does anyone know if this is possible or how I would do that?
At the moment I have an ADF error page - I could return an "error" outcome to the process from that but an error is an error and it feels right to show that in the process instead of a normal outcome.
anyone else worked through this?
cheers,
Steve

Exception handling in BPM and ABAP mapping

Hello all,
We have a BPM with this structure:
. REC (receiver)
. <begin BLOCK1>
. TRANSFORMATION1 (Abap Mapping)
. <begin EXCEPT> (exception branch)
. CONTROL (Cancel Process)
. <end EXCEPT>
. <end BLOCK1>
The same exception is assigned to the block; to the mapping and to exception branch.
The problem is that, when in the Abap Mapping the exception CX_MAPPING_FAULT is raised, the exception branch seems to be ignored and so, the BPM doesn't finish.
This problem only occurs in some of ours BPMs, because the same thing, when done in other BPMs, works fine.
I know i can change the BPM to turn around this problem, but i would very much like to know the solution to this.
Please, help us with this posting.
thanks in advance
Filipe Barreira

Hi again,
We are in SP19, witch invalidates the note 921757 listed.
Also, i made an abap mapping witch only raises the exception. So i think it is not an ABAP error.
Also the XML seems to be correct, because this is a duplicates check routine. A message (with the same data) already entered previously (we trying to avoid another entry).
In the trace analysis for the message, it is stated that the exception has occurred:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <MappingTrace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Namespace:http://xi.es/suministros</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Name:IM_SALIDAS_TESTE1</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-SWCV:7CE651C00ABC11DBCBF0C8E8C0A901F6</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Step:1</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Type:R3_ABAP</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Mapping-Program:ZCLTD_MM_SALIDAS_CARGA_TESTE</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Creating Abap mapping. Classname =ZCLTD_MM_SALIDAS_CARGA_TESTE</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">CALL APPLICATION MAPPING.</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">Application error in mapping program ZCLTD_MM_SALIDAS_CARGA_TESTE, error code: , error text:</Trace>
</MappingTrace>
the problem is that the process keeps running.

Exception Handling in BPM

Hello,
1. I have created a block step B
2. I have created a ReceiverDetermination and send step(S) inside Block B .
3. I have created ExceptionHandler EH.
4. I have assigned this ExceptionHandler EH in the send Block Exceptions-SystemError.
5. In ExceptionHandler EH ,i have created a controlstep for throwing Alert .
Problem i am facing now is when an error occurs in send step it is not throwing Exception.
Did i missed something.
Thanks in Advance for responses
Rajesh

Hello All,
Thanks for your replies,but in my case i have defined the ExceptionHandler and assigned the ExceptionName (EH) to the send step Exceptions-SystemError property ,and when i run the BPM scenario at the send error occured and it has to go to ExceptionHandler block which is not happening and i am seeing error at block as NoAgent error and i searched the forum for this error category and
deleted all the BPM Instances and activated the Integration process but in vain ,
I tried to throw exception intentionally and which worked well'
Overall when an error occured at send it is not going to ExceptionHandling branch,What might be wrong
I think send asynchronous step is capable of raising systemErrors right???
Million dollars for the replies
Waiting for responses

Exception Handling in BPM:Access to Fault Mex in Exception branch

Hi Guys,
After the synchronous sent (in my case is to SOAP adapter)I intercept the exception.
Unfortunately I cannot send back the fault to the Caller since
the used called function has no exception defined,therefore I need
to handle exception and do something depending on the error back.
Ant suggestions?
thanks in advance
regards,
Giamma

Actually I map the fault of the web service to a XI SOAP fault.
The mapping back for the fault is called nevertheless I get an error
(Attribute prefix 'xsi' is not mapped to a namespace(:main:, row:1, col:90))
as I written in the following trace.
Did you have any suggestions regarding the issue?
thanks.

RFC Exception handling in BPM

Hi All,
I currently have a scenario where I receive an IDoc, then need to make an RFC call to another R/3 system to get some additional data, and then transform and send the resulting message out to another system. There is a possible case where the R/3 system will send back a fault message with some meaningful text which we would like to map to a Status IDoc to send back to the source system. The problem is, I can't seem to find a way to be able to use the fault message in a map in the BPM.
Is this a limitation of XI, or is there some way to get this fault message into the BPM?

Fault message propagation still functions the same for BPM....now instead of populating it as a Fault message can you ask the end system to populate the error (if any) as a response....may be the response RFC will be required to have the error structure.
Now in BPM decide whether this is an error....if yes then create the IDOC....if not then discard the message.
In one of my project requirements we had a similar req wherein there was proxy at receiving end....we updated the proxy (ASYNC) and if any error then another proxy would be populated giving error details (in case there was an error)....both the flows ASYNC....once we got the details we would do further processing.

Abhishek.

Exception thrown by RFC To be handled in BPM

Hi All ,
I am trying the scenario.
Http Client -> XI-->BPM -
> RFC
<- <-- <-------
The whole communication is Synchronous.
So I have
One Outbound Synchronous Interface
One Inbound Synchronous Interface.
Two Abstract Synchronous Interface for BPM.
And 4 Abstract Asynchronous Interfaces for the containers which is to used in BPM.
(Two for request and two for response )
For simple Request Response Messages from the RFC my Scenario is working perfectly.
But I Introduced an Exception in RFC, So my Rfc is Throwing an Exception Message which needs to be returned back to Http Client.
Now my problem is only Synchronous interfaces have the option of fault messages in which the exception message can be included. So how do I pass the Exception message to Http Client via BPM , Because Containers require Asynchronous Interfaces and they are not accepting fault messages.
Has Anyone tried this kind of exception handling in BPM,
Please Help Me.
Yomesh.

Hi Saravana,
first of all thanks for ur reply,
In my scenario there are two reciever systems(SAP and JDE) and call to both the systems is synchronous. I am merging the responses from both systems into one using BPM. Thats why I needed BPM.
Now About exception handling that is required because if response from one system is not there then also the BPM process should not terminate .It should give the output from other system and an error message for first one to the HTTP client.
I think now the scenario is clear for you,
Please see if you can help me with that.
Thanks,
Yomesh

Exception handling branch not executing in BPM

Hi all,
We have a problem with exception handling in BPMs.
We have created an exception branch in a block and a transformation step in it. However, the branch doesn't get executed in case of exceptions.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem?
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hi VJ,
The exception name can only be selected from a list. There is no chance of mistaking/misspelling in there.
That is fine as it is. I am quite sure about it.
Any other ideas?
I found SAP note 1039330 but we are already on patch 12 and that correction was released on patch 12.
Thanks, regards,
Aldo

BPM Exception Handling control step

Hi,
Does anybody have any idea, whats the variable we need to pass in the control step of exception handling in BPM? and how to map the error message back to the RFC Response.
I had Transformation step, in that mapping is also there.
Is there any ideas??.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi,
The requirement was to send the exception that occured to a target (say file).
insert a block for the exception
You cannot place an exception step without a block right... thats what i mean by the above statement.
Now, just after the exception has taken place, if i put a transformation step, and a send step, you will be taking care of sending the exception message to the target.
how to build the exception message ? It should map from what?
You could build a data type for the exception.
In the mapping, you could map it to constants. For ex:
if you build your DT as
<excep>
<code/>
<desc/>
</excep>
You could map the description to a constant string "timeout".
After this, the send step will send the message to the file, through the abstract interface that you create.

Smitha.

Getting Dynamic Error Text for Error Handling in BPM

Hello,
is there any way to get the error message or further details on an exception handler in BPM? I would like to pass the detailed error description of the error that has happened in BPM to an alert using a separate Alert container variable.
Is this possible or do I need to hardcode potential errors?

Hi Florian,

Exception Handling Problem In BPM

All
I am facing an exception handling problem I am using BPM and , I have caught exception in the transformation step but when there is any data problem in that mapping(mentioned in the transformation)
it is not throwing the exception . is there any option to collect these type of system exception in the bpm and give a alert thru mail
is there any way to collect these type of exception happened in the BPE and raise alert thru generic alert
Thanks
Jayaraman

Hi Jayaraman,
When you say there is any data problem, does that fail the message mapping that you have defined?
If the message mapping used in the tranformation fails, it should raise an exception in the BPM.
Did you test the message mapping using the payload and see if it really fails or not?

Exception handling of Transport acknowledgement in asynchronous send in BPM

HI,
A silly question, but your help would be greatly appreciated..
- I have a asynch send step in a BPM for sending data to the target system through RFC
- It has acknoweledgement property of this send step is set to transport acknowledgement
- The exception property of this send step is set to throw a 'RFCException'
- This send step is inside a block
- This block also has an Exception branch which catches this 'RFCException'
- now my RFC channel failed for some known reason, but the flow never went into the Exception branch
IS this behaviour of the 'transport acknowledgement' property of an asynch send step in BPM expected ?
What should I take care so that if my RFC receiver channel throws an exception, the flow of my BPM goes to the exception branch ??

branch ??
When an exception is caught by the Transport Acknowledgement it will trigger the Exception branch (if the send step is defined inside a Block with an Exception Branch)
I think you have not defined (and then assigned) a proper Exception Handler for the Block.
Click on the Block and define an Exception Handler......click on the Exception Branch and then select the Exception Handler from the dropdown......if this is not done then the Exception Branch wont be executed.....perform a check on your BPM in IR (using F7) you may get some warnings.

Abhishek.

Exception Handling (in Mapping) with out using BPM

Hello All,
We are on SP17. I have a simple flow involving XI
JMS -> XI (Message Mapping -> XSL Mapping) -> Mail
I would like to send an email if there is an exception in any of the mapping. But I don't want to use a BPM for this exception handling. How can I do it?
Thanks

BPM - Exception handling in multiline mapping

Hi,
I have in a BPM a block with processing mode ParForEach containing a transformation and then a send step.
If the transformation (mapping) generates an exception for one of the lines of the multiline variable being processed, no subsequent lines are passed to the send step.
I want the process to execute the mapping for each line and then send messages corresponding to lines without error. How can I do?
Thank you
Simona

Hi Simona,
I also feel that Michal had suggested the correct solution. Not sure why you are saying that the error gets propagated, if you have defined a proper Exception handling for the inner block.
But regarding your design for "ParForEach", I am not sure whether you really need to carry out a transformation step for each Block instance, in which case you can keep the transformation step before the "ParForEach" block.
