Getting BPM Process Analytics out

I have added measurements, dimensions and a counter to a process per Beulow, and have created a custom dashboard to view them. However, the numbers come out as zeros/nothing.
There was talk about something needing to run for a cube to be updated.
Anyone got this to work?
Any ideas where to find the measurements in the underlying database, to bisect the problem?
All help most welcome.

Hi Lavanya,
to 1). The process context is stored on the CE server. Likewise, SAP delivers some predefined data sources that you can report on directly using Visual Composer or
to 2) you can extract the information into your BW system. All the BI objects needed for that are part of BI Content 7.05 (it might be in an earlier version but I know it's in 7.05)
to 3) Maybe, :-). Haven't tried it and I don't know what the underlying data model is but it may be possible to read the tables directly.
Here's a good link to get started.

BPM process analytics

Hi
We are trying to report on BPM process analytics.
Has anyone succesfully implemented the same.
We have some basic questions on it
1. where is the process context and generic data stored(is it in ECC backend or CE's database or file system)
2. how to pull data from ce to BW (do the datasources get created automatically in source system?)
3. Is there a way to pull data without using BI content datasources. (process context and generic)
Please clarify.
Regards
Lavanya

Dynamically get BPM Process ID in 7.2

Hello,
Anyone find a way to dynamically generate the BPM ProcessID ?

Hi Craig,
You can build a more user friendly tool using VC and the standard BPM realtime reporting datasources. Just model a reporting activity (with a custom datasource) in your process model that has your business object id (say customer id). Then you can build a reporting UI in VC using this reporting acitivity. However, if your primary concern is to retrieve the process id, then from that custom datasource in the VC story board you can get the process id.
Just update the thread if in case more details are required. Have already implemented a VC based reporting UI which accesses nested sub-processes using the the process instance id.

A BPM process with out any human task

Hi All,
I am new bie to BPM. Can I create a BPM process without any human task?
Like start event, service task (or any other activity) & end event.
If it is possible, please let me know the proper steps to execute and test this process also.
Thanks,

Hi
Yes, ofcourse you can have a Process without any User Task. Ex: Start Node -> Service Task -> End Node. Start Node can be 2 things say like DB Adapater and File Adapter. Read something from DB from some table and put into the Text File.
But the thing is, BPM Process is more of Role Oriented. If you already saw, you define something called Swim Lanes and put each User Task in those Lanes and automatically users in that Role only can work on those Task.
If you do not have any such things like User Task, you don't even need to create a BPM Process. Just create a simple BPEL with your custom Payload.
Now, the most important question is how do you plan to trigger/start this process whether BPM or BPEL. Do you assign some users to the first Role and do users log into bpm/workspace and click the Link on the left side to start the process. ALSO since there is NO User Task, you will NOT have any Task Details Page and this means you MAY NOT even see the link on the left side in bpm/workspace.
The only option I could see is have BPEL. This BPEL will have a WSDL automatically generated. And you can use this WSDL to instantiate the task.
If your intention is to use this process/bpel in some other MAIN Process then it is totally possible.

Error Handling Inside BPM Process

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which, when a BPM Process errors out due to any of the System Exception I'm catching it using a Event SubProcess activity and handling it.
Problem:
I want the control to get back to the next activity i.e Normal Process should resume once the control is out of the Event SubProcess.
I found that using a Normal Subprocess with boundary event helps to resume the flow back to normal control. But Its difficult to have individual Subprocesses for N number of activities.
Is there any other method to overcome this?
Please provide a solution.
Two Cents,
Karthick.

I'll bow out of this thread after this post, but a couple thoughts.
You might have seen these, but here are some links that should help you. If you have not already looked at Fault Policies, pay particular attention to this in the posts below:

I don't mean for this to sound harsh and please keep in mind that I don't know the problem you're trying to solve or what you're process looks like.
>
Yes we do, but we have many activities inside a single process since the business is big.
>
Sounds like you're pretty far down the road now, but just a word of caution. I've found myself on projects with large processes. It's not just exception handling that you'll find more difficult, but many things became more cumbersome to maintain in a large process.
>
A thought of using Boundary Events with subprocess looks good but its not possible to use a single sub process for all boundary events in order to resume to normal activity.
>
I did not follow this. If you invoke a subprocess using a Call activity, you'd be able to add a boundary event on the Call activities for the activities in the called sub process. You'd also have a process that is easier to read and maintain.

BPM Process Monitoring

Dear All,
We have implemented a BPM process in NWCE 7.2 SP03 for KM document approval. In order to monitor this BPM process we tried to use Process List Viewer http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/4a/ee9c8588946d62e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm which provided by SAP as standard function. But we want to the link which an attribute in process to KM document shown in the process list either. Is it possible to customize the Process List Viewer only for this BPM process? Which Service or API is used by SAP to get BPM Process to monitor? May we use this Service or API to implement own Process List / Process Instance Monitoring?
Thanks in advance & Regards
Yao

Hi Yao,
unfortunately it is not possible to customize the Process List Viewer.
In your case I would recommend to create a custom process dashboard with Visual Composer, using the BPM datasources and reporting activity.

Christian

What Oracle version? What, if any, error messages follow that message in the trace files? Anything in the alert.log?
Did you try an MOS search? How about a Google search?
This seems to be a pretty well known error.

Getting error while Startting a BPM process programmatically

Hi Experts,
I am getting an error while trying to start the BPM process programmatically. What i have done till now is
1. Created a WS in process composer
2. Binded this ws with start of the process
3. Created input parameters
4. Testing it in WS Navigator
I am following this doc /people/arafat.farooqui/blog/2009/08/13/introduction-to-sap-netweaver-bpm-part-4
and I am getting error while testing in WS Navigator. I am getting error at the last step i.e. in result step and the error is
Web Service returned an error. Fault Code: "(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/)Client" Fault String: "No operation found using soap keys [], [cn_comments]. InterfaceMapping Object class: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.mappings.InterfaceMapping mappings: (BindingType=Soap, SEIName=NewWSDLFile, BindingQName=(http://www.example.org/NewWSDLFile/)NewWSDLFileSOAP, PortTypeQName=(http://www.example.org/NewWSDLFile/)NewWSDLFile, SoapVersion=SOAP11, Galaxy_SDO=true, InterfaceMappingID=45ffb27c:1237f972cd8:-7d7e)."
If possible can any one help me out.
Thanks and regards
Pranav

Hi Arafat,
Thanks for replying. Yes i have completed the output mapping. Input parameters i need for this service are :
1. cn_comments
ca_comments
2. cn_planningGroup
ca_account
ca_serialnumber
and few more attributes
Now, what i did was i have created a complex type and added elements in it. But to my surprise i was not able to get these nodes and elements in output mapping. So, i changed the type of "parameter" from "new operation" to my complex type. By doing this i was able to get my nodes and elements in output mapping. Now i tested the entire thing in WS Navigator and i got that error.
Please suggest how o proceed.
Regards
Pranav

BPM Process not getting started

Dear All,
I have created a BPM Process, and have attached a webservice with the start event.After deploying the Process DC I am getting my start webservice in my wsnavigator. When I am executing the start webservice I am getting the following error.
Web service returned error. Fault Code: "(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/)Server" Fault String: "Process start has been triggered."
But my process is inprogress but not getting proceeded to the next step , it is stuck in start itself.
how can i make my webservice work?
Regards,
Shamila

Hi Shamila,
To me this looks like a configuration issue. You can trouble shoot it this way
First try to check if the web services is up and running
Second check your configuration, for this, in NWA Manage Processes application get all the 'failed processes'
-check if your in-progress process is listed here-
- if so then open the Error log tab for the process in the details section in Manage Process
- See the logs listed here; generally the last log will tell you if your configuration is correct or not
-if you figure out that the configuration isn't done or is improper then correct the same in provider systems and/or application communication configuration
- then once this is done, re-query the failed process and use the "Recover" option

How to find out what is causing an error in a BPM process

I have a very basic question and I can't figure it out from help.sap.com
I have a BPM process deployed to a SAP NW Java BPM 7.40 system. It can be triggered with a web service call.
It goes into error immediately. I go to NW Administrator > Operations > Process and Tasks > Manage Processes and see the process with status "Error". But the "Error log" tab below is grayed out. I can't see any error message anywhere.
How do I find out what is wrong?

Ah, I didn't notice that on the history tab I can switch from Basic to Medium or Advanced, in Basic it was showing nothing. In Medium and Advanced it shows:
Mapping failed
com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions720.NameNotFoundException: Object not found in lookup of test.sap.com.polreuse.ejbs.UUIDProviderLocal.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not lookup 'test.sap.com/bpmear/LOCAL/UUIDProvider/test.sap.com.polreuse.ejbs.UUIDProviderLocal' bean

What could this mean? I didn't deploy all parts correctly or something like that?
Also, where do I check the default trace?

How to call / execute BPM process out of portal (Universal Worklist)

Hi,
at the moment I try to get fimilar in working with bpm processes. In this regard, I try to execute a process outside the portal.
I always have to login at the portal, go to the Universal Worklist, refresh the list and execute the previously started process. But in future that would NOT be the prefered way for the user.
May anybody help me?
Thank you.

Hi Martin,
what do you mean exactly? Do you want to start the workflow without using the portal or do you want to start the different human activities outside the portal?
If you mean the first one, you can use a webservice to start the process (see Re: Starting a flow through a web service). As such you can start the process from pretty much everything with webaccess.
For the second one I dont have an answer... You can probably use a different application and check if there are any new tasks via webservice... but thats just a guess

How to carry out an action on a task in a bpm process from another adf app?

Hi everyone,
We have a simple BPM process with only one human task with two actions: approve and reject.
We want to know if it is possible to approve or reject this task from another adf application; I mean by clicking a button on a different page - not using the Actions menu in workspace, can I change the status of the task to approved or rejected and remove the task from the workspace of the assignee?

I think you can use ItemAdding event to update your fields. This works better for you instead of ItemAdded event.

Unable to Trigger BPM Process from ECC --- Need Help

BPM process not responding

Hi
I have created a very simple BPM process in BPM Studio 10Gr3. It is processed as a Web Service and takes in a string and outputs a string (synchronous). The trouble I am having is once it has been deployed onto a clustered environment, I then attempt to call the process from SOAP UI but unfortunatly it just hangs and eventually timesout.
I know the process is running because I can see it in the BPM log viewer and I have outputted additional log messages from the process to the log viewer. However I do not get a response back from the process.
I would appreaciate any help with this.
My setup includes a clustered Weblogic Environment and I have set authentication type to: Username Token Profile.
Thanks
Saheem
