Fault on using bpm:getPerformer() in a script activity

I am trying to get the performer in a swim lane using script activity just before the user task activity. It throws fault:
<bpelFault><faultType>0</faultType><subLanguageExecutionFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"><part name="summary"><summary>XPath expression failed to execute. An error occurs while processing the XPath expression; the expression is bpm:getPerformer(). The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: FOTY0001: type error. Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct. </summary></part><part name="code"><code>XPathExecutionError</code></part></subLanguageExecutionFault></bpelFault>
Not sure on why is it an invalid Xpath expression. Please let me know how can I get the performer from a application role mapped to a swim lane.

i had tried that approach and ended up facing the same issue. I achieved the use case following these steps,
1) Get the taskId from the ExecData payload of the component.
2) Have a script activity to evaluate this expression " hwf:getPreviousTaskApprover(bpmn:getDataObject('taskId')) " which will give the performer of an application role.
Thanks,

Handling SOAP Fault messages in BPM

Hi,
My scenario is Sync-Async Bridge involving File to SOAP transformation. I have used BPM as 1 file has many records and each record is required to call the web service synchronously.
In the BPM I have
Receive ---> Transform (1:n multimapping ) -
> Block (Par for Each)
In Block I have Send Sync step to call Web service . I have an exception branch for the send step for catching Fault message that is sent back from webservice for Application Fault.
Problem:
Though the Fault message is sent from web service ,in the BPM the block goes in error saying : "No exception defined for fault message ". The Exception brach is not executed.
Please suggest if anyone has come across such a scenario and solution to this.

hi satesh
using "exception handler" in BPM we can handle the error messages

Handling fault messages in BPM

Hi,
I am using BPM for a RFC to SOAP scenario to handle Fault messages. (Please have a look at my previous post also SOAP Fault message )
I have created an exception block in BPM to catch the fault message from SOAP service. Inside the exception block i need to map the fault message to RFC response. But fault message is not accessible in Exception block.
Let me know if you have any idea to solve this.
Thanks,
Uma

Uma:
Let me make clear the requiremt. You have RFC Import(aka Request message) and Export(aka Response + Exception) and you have Web Service with Request, Response, Fault messages. And you want to send the fault messages back to the RFC in addition to the response. I was wondering, If we do the following mapping without BPM, does that fulfill your requirement.
RFC-Import <----
> SOAP Request
RFC-Export <----
> SOAP Response
RFC-Export <----
> SOAP Fault
Can you let me know if you face any problems with this one. I have seen your other thread and was wondering, whats the problem is. May be I didn't understand the requirement properly. Please clarify me

Emulate Fault message in BPM

Hello
I have read all related topics
fault message in BPM process
Alert monitoring and fault message types
Using Fault Message Type in BPM
but no answer..
I have synch BPM that send synch request to RFC and a mapping step. Then I have to catch exception (of send step or mapping) and send fault message in exception handler.
I haven't a proxy. I want to create fault message manually and send it. Is it possible? I cannot create an interface of fault message type.

Hi Sergey,
As far as I know, it's possible to catch the mapping/send exception.
It's also easy to define an exception branch for this exception, and inside the exception branch, send a "normal" message in a send step.
However, as far as I know there's no way of specifying a BPM send step that sends a fault message.
At least in my experience, regular messages are just as useful when sending error information.
Cheers,
Ofer

Multiple files to single using bpm

Hi,
Scenarion : 6 files to 1 file using BPM
( 6 files are generated from the tool in a folder )
Files
abc1xyz_20101210.txt
abc2xyz_20101210.txt
abc3xyz_20101210.txt
abc4xyz_20101210.txt
abc5xyz_20101210.txt
abc6xyz_20101210.txt
Conditions
1) Sender File Adapter needs to pick the files when all the files are generated .
2) Should not pick the duplicate files
(eg : abc1xyz_20101210.txt
abc2xyz_20101210.txt
abc1xyz_20101211.txt
abc1xyz was repeated 2 times , ignore the file before file is picked.
ponints will be awarded
Thanks

Hi,
I prefer these kind of check can be easily done by the sender system or tool while generating those files itself..
that is during the generation of file if the file already exists then overwrite the content or delete the existing file and create new file...
other option can be..using OS scripts to validate the file name till 4 characters..read the file name and take first four chars and compare it with the all other files...
I cannot provide the exact code but check with some scripting guys..I think the above logic can be achievable..

How to use IF Conditon in SAP Scripts?

Hi Guys,
               I am having adoubt how to use IF conditon with multiple variables in SAp Scripts
for ex If a>b and a>c and a>d
         Elseif b>a and b>c and b> d.
         Elseif .....
          endif.
          How to use above example in SAP Scripts.
thanks,
Gopi.

hi Gopi,
it is almost the same as normal ABAP, you only have to use & before and after the variable and the variable has to be in capitals and you have to make the line as command ( /: before the line )
IF &A& > &B& AND ...
text to print
ELSEIF ...
text to print
ENDIF.

How to use BPM itegrate different system aysnchronously

for example, 3 enterprise applications need to be integrated together with BPM, which are Bid system, ERP system, Finance system,
and erery business document should be approved by persons one by one in the 3 different application system with its workflow respectively, we can't change the workflow in the
different system, and only when the document is finished approved in the BID system asynchronously, it can enter the ERP system, an so on .
after the business document is approved in the Bid system, it should be returned in the BPM contexts,and the BPM user will dicide whether it will be enter the next system.
so how to integrate the 3 application system?
I draw a[ BPM process|http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/2586651/640/Picture-Box/aaa.jpg], but in this process, the "ERP human activity" activity, this activity how to get data from the "BID system asyn workflow" which is an asynchronized
wrokflow?

Gavin,
For asynchronous cases, you should adopt the "wait and trigger" principle. In BPM, you can acheive it by using a timer and an automated activity. Set the timer repeat time to say 15 mins (you should change it as per your business scenario), and then execute / trigger an automated activity, which will call your Bid system to check the state (whether the data entry / specific workflow is over). If the state is completed, (you may check using exclusive choice), move to next step. Else, pass back the control to timer which will again make the process wait. This way the objective could be attained.
Hope this helps.

raja

Hi Raja,
PERFORM key work is used to include subroutine in sapscript form...
But the processing is lttle bit different form the one we use in ABAP.
Here the paramters passed to form is stored in internal table of name-value table. there are two table one for inbound parameter and other for outbound parameters.
Check out the example below to see how this is used..
Definition in the SAPscript form:
/: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM QCJPERFO
/: USING &PAGE&
/: USING &NEXTPAGE&
/: CHANGING &BARCODE&
/: ENDPERFORM
/ &BARCODE&
Coding of the calling ABAP program:
REPORT QCJPERFO.
FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number
NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY PAGE.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY NEXTPAGE.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY BARCODE.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
IF PAGNUM = 1.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = |. "First page
ELSE.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = ||. "Next page
ENDIF.
IF NEXTPAGE = 0.
OUT_PAR-VALUE+2 = L. "Flag: last page
ENDIF.
MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDFORM.
Hope this is clear to understand...
Enjoy SAP.

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:
"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. "
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

Help needed in Multiple Receivers sceenarios using BPM

Hi,
I am new to BPM. As per my requirement, based on a business logic i may split the messages into two at message mapping. If i have spitted the messages into two, it should go to different receivers. Or if my logic hasnt splitted the mesaage means it should go to any one of the receivers. I also expect response from the receiver system once its done successfully.
Could you help me how to do this using BPM?
Thanks & Regards,
Senthil.

Hi,
You can do it without BPM also, by using MultiMapping. If only splitting is required then I would suggest not to use BPM since it will consume much memory. Instead you can use multmapping.
For Multimapping, go to messages tab in message mapping and select your different target structures and map it as per your requirement. In Integration Directory, go to advanced Interface Determination and proceed.

Asynchronous, but need Ack without using BPM and IDocs.

Hi Experts,
                 I would like to do a scenario i.e., "Asynchronous communication, but need Acknowledgement without using BPM and also without using IDocs whether it is sender side or receiver side". Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Srihari.

Without using BPM will be little longer process. But the alternative way is to add one more receiver in the receiver determination and send some file to that location with the actual mapping getting executed for the actual receiver. and in the second interface you can get the file created at second receiver back to the source location. But this will be little long as compared to synchronous scenarios.
Flow:
Source
          Receiver 1--> Actual mapping as per requirement
          Receiver 2(For Ack)--> Create a mapping with blank file sent to Receiver
Receiver 2-->File Adapter--> Source through 2nd mapping/interface and keep the File adapter pooling interval around 5 sec or less so that you can get the file back to source location.

Anand

Message Spiltting Without Using BPM in XI-7.0

We are using XI-7.0.
We need to spilt the message from 1 to many without using BPM based on following conditions.
We need to spilt the one message in many messages depending on the segment records of ZORDER3 and ZORDER2.
If IDOC message do not have segment ZORDER3 then message needs to be spilt based on the segment records of ZORDER2.
In the following example, one IDOC message would come from SAP system and that message needs to spilt into 7 messages for the vendor's system.
Any help will be appreciated.

Mrudula,
If you give the target structure and occurrences of it , then it will be more helpful. Also please quote on wht basis the message needs to be splitted, coz the condition is not clear, Please give the condition too.

Multi-Mapping and Message Split using BPM

Hi All,
Could anyone pls let me know clearly how message mapping can be done for this weblog
/people/sudharshan.aravamudan/blog/2005/12/01/illustration-of-multi-mapping-and-message-split-using-bpm-in-sap-exchange-infrastructure
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
When you are doing Message mapping after adding the Messaget types for source and target messages. You can click on the "" button in the target message and add one more tab. You can go to Message tab as shown in the 5th image and click "" button to add one more message type. Then do the mapping as usual.
Based on the value of the element(name), the node of input(details)should be directed to one of the two message types
Here in this blog it is done based on the Name.
You need to use IFTHENELSE boolean function and do the mapping.
Thanks,
Prakash

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
