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.

Accessing a BPM Container Variable Inside A Mapping

Hi
Is It possible to access a BPM container variable (Simple type say a String )in a Mapping (message mapping). This mapping is present in the same BPM itself. Is it possible to access the variable in the mapping.
My basic objective is i need to read and update values between My message mapping and Bpm container simple type variable. I read a value from BPM variable and then update this variable and again write it back to the BPM container variable and then again read it in a loop . Is it possible to do this exchange.

Hi,
The only way is to do with mapping. Totally you need to add your conatiner values into message and then thru mapping you can access.

Accessing container variables from ccBPM in Message Mapping?

Hello Friends,
I have created a ccBPM and require to send response messages to the sending system at different points as the message proceeds from one state to another. I do not want to create multiple message mapping stating different status in every message mapping. The message mapping remains the same only the status is changing. So I am thinking if I can access container elements in ccBPM at message mapping then I should be able to use only one message mapping. Is it possible at all?
Let me know if you have other solutions. Let me know if I am not clear?
Thanks & Regards,
Anand Patil

Hi Abhishek,
Your suggestion to use Parameterized Mapping did solve my issue. I was looking something like this. Thanks.
Now I have only one Message Mapping and it is used in multiple places. Thanks a lot

How to access the parent class variable or object in java

Hi Gurus,
I encounter an issue when try to refer to parent class variable or object instance in java.
The issue is when the child class reside in different location from the parent class as shown below.
- ClassA and ClassB are reside in xxx.oracle.apps.inv.mo.server;
- Derived is reside in xxx.oracle.apps.inv.mo.server.test;
Let say ClassA and ClassB are the base / seeded class and can not be modified. How can i refer to the variable or object instance of ClassA and ClassB inside Derived class.
package xxx.oracle.apps.inv.mo.server;
public class ClassA {
    public int i=10;
package xxx.oracle.apps.inv.mo.server;
public class ClassB extends ClassA{
    int i=20;
package xxx.oracle.apps.inv.mo.server.test;

public class Derived extends ClassB {
    int i=30;
    public Derived() {
       System.out.println(this.i);                  // this will print 30
       System.out.println(((ClassB)this).i); // error, but this will print 20 if Derived class located in the same location as ClassB
       System.out.println(((ClassA)this).i); // error, but this will print 20 if Derived class located in the same location as ClassA
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Derived d = new Derived();
Many thanks in advance,

Hi ,
You cannot access the controller attribute instead create an instance of the controller class and access the attribute in the set method
OR create a static method X in the controller class and store the value in that method. and you can access the attribute by
Call method class=>X
OR if the attribute is static you can access by classname=>attribute.

Get BPM Container Variable?

Is it possible to get the value of a BPM simple type container variable at Mapping time?

Hi Ruben,
you can use a trick:
- datatype: extend the source container with one field (your simple type)
- datatype: make all fields optional (0-1 or 0-unbounded)
- process: create a new multiline container from this type
- tranformation: fill the one line container with simple type
- container operation: append to multiline
- tranformation: fill the one line container with your message
- container operation: append to multiline
- transformation: merge the multiline to single-line
- transformation: Now you have the value of your simple type in an additional field

Thanks & regards
Premansh Gupta

Hi,
you said that the same variable is already being used in other queries?
where are you searching for variable list?
after opening the Query,find the characteristic in the left window (from dimension tree) and expend it and expand 'charateristic value variables'..here you will find all the variables associated with the char.
what is the characteristic? and whats the variable you are looking for?

How to use the variables used in the message mapping

Hi ,
In the message mapping we can declare variables in the JAVA section , these variables could be used across the mapping .
I have tried using it but I am unable to retrieve the values assigned to the variables in one UDF into the another UDF .
Please guide me how to use the variables declared in the JAVA section in the message mapping .
Thanks
Anita Yadav

Anita,
I have worked on the Global variables and i found no issues. Make sure that the variable is declared in the Declaration Section and then initlaized in the Initialization section.
If you declare a variable in the Declaration Section ,
int i;
then in any udf you can use if directly. No need to re declare the variable in the UDF. If you do this, then it becomes a local variable.

Access current system or target system ID in message mapping

Hi.
I have a requirement to map three different constant values to Sales Org field, depending on whether the system is D, Q or Prod.
This needs to be done in the message mapping section of the Interface along with all the other mapping logic.
Is there any way how we can access the current system ID or the Target system ID (XI is communicating with target, in this case, ECC, using RFC receiver Communication channel)?
Please help.
Thanks.
Anuradha.

Hi,
The key element would be :-
System.getProperty("SAPSYSTEMNAME");
Use this in UDF to get System Name ... and then on basis of systemname do whatever you want to perform.

Hi Mariano,
I'm using JSP presentation too. In "Interactive Component Call" active i'm using "Use JSP presentation", but i only can define one instance variable, i need to add more instance variables. In "Advanced" option of this task, i have the argument mapping .. but i don't understand how to use it.
I have a instance variable called "genders" of the type String[Int] (Associative Array) and i'm mapping this instance variable in "Arguments Show In" option of the advanced option of JSP presentation. In JSP presentation i have the code:
<select <f:fieldName att="person.gender"/>>
               <c:forEach var="gender" begin="0" items="${genders}" varStatus="status">
                    <c:choose>
                         <c:when test="${person.gender == gender}">
                              <option value="<c:out value="${gender}"/>" selected="true"><c:out value="${gender}"/></option>
                         </c:when>
                         <c:otherwise>
                              <option value="<c:out value="${gender}"/>"><c:out value="${gender}"/></option>
                         </c:otherwise>
                    </c:choose>
               </c:forEach>
          </select>And in my screenflow i have the code:
genders[0] = "Male"
genders[1] = "Female"But when i run my application, i have the error: "The task could not be successfully executed. Reason: 'java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer'."
What's the problem?

How to access TestStand Event and variables from external application?

Hi all
The test system was built by TestStand, now there is a new requirement to filter the test report without change the sequence file. The task must be done without any impact to previous software system, so I decide to write a tool by VC++.
My idea is to deal with the reports after every UUT loop, but I need to monitor the UUT loop status by VC++, if an unit is tested, pass or fail, raise a event and pass to VC++ application. In a word, I would like to access TestStand internal event and variables.
Anyone has ideal on this case? ActiveX or something.
thanks .

paulbin,
While sharing variables via COM or DCOM is certaintly possible, I don't think you need to go down that route. I think that there is probably an easier way to limit your report. In your Configuration menu, under the Report Options item, there is a field at the top that will allow you to filter what steps go into your report.
This will not affect any sequence file you may have already created, all it does is change a few options in the ReportOptions.ini file in the <TestStand>\cfg directory.
This is a much simpler option than trying to write a program to interface with a running TestStand engine.

How can I use loop in graphical message mapping

The source input XML is like:
<bookstore>
<book>
       <item1>xxx</item1>
       <item2>yyy</item2>
</book>
<book>
        <item1>zzz</item1>
       <item2>www</item2>
</book>
</bookstore>
I want to create an output XML like
<output>
   <item>
        <item1>xxx</item1>
         <item2>yyy</item2>
    </item>
   <item>
        <item1>xxx</item1>
         <item2>www</item2>
    </item>
   <item>
        <item1>zzz</item1>
         <item2>www</item2>
    </item>
   <item>
        <item1>xxx</item1>
         <item2>yyy</item2>
    </item>
</output>
That means I want to do permutation and combination for all <item1> <item2> under <book>.
Of course I can write a customer function to do it, but I want to basically use the buildin functions to do the graphical message mapping for this.
Any idea? thank you.

well, I'm not very clear of those 2 English words
What I want is to list all possible combination of item1 and item2 (and in fact, we have item3, item4, ....etc).
example
input:
<item>
          <item1> 111 </item1>
          <item2> 222 </item2>
          <item3> 333 </item3>
</item>
<item>
          <item1> aaa </item1>
          <item2> bbb </item2>
          <item3> ccc </item3>
</item>
I want to get
<item><Item1>111>/item1> <item2>222</item2> <item3>333</item3> </item>
<item><Item1>111>/item1> <item2>222</item2> <item3>ccc</item3> </item>
<item><Item1>111>/item1> <item2>bbb</item2> <item3>333</item3> </item>
<item><Item1>111>/item1> <item2>bbb</item2> <item3>ccc</item3> </item>
<item><Item1>aaa>/item1> <item2>222</item2> <item3>333</item3> </item>
<item><Item1>aaa>/item1> <item2>222</item2> <item3>ccc</item3> </item>
<item><Item1>aaa>/item1> <item2>bbb</item2> <item3>333</item3> </item>
<item><Item1>aaa>/item1> <item2>bbb</item2> <item3>ccc</item3> </item>

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

How to access BPM 11g payload or process varibles in ADF task flow

I am trying to view/edit data in a UI tied to a database using a foreign key, requestId. The foreign key comes from a BPM process where it is passed into the task flow, from a human task. The foreign key comes from process variables or payload values. I know I can simply load the payload in BPM with data from the tables, but I'm looking for a better solution to leverage ADF Business components to view and edit the data directly in the UI.
The BPM process uses a web service to kick off the process. The web services takes a primary key as a parameter to reference a column in the database table. The database is pre-populated with content and a primary key reference. The first activity is a user activity. I want the task flow behind the user activity to accept this primary key and use it to locate the desired row in the database so views associated with database bounded ADF Business Components can work to present the data in the UI.
I've tried two approaches to the problem. The first uses the operation setCurrentRowWithKeyValue. The other modifies the SQL where clause, used by the ADFbc Iterator, to only return a row for the given requestId. Both approaches fail to work because I don't know how to access the BPM payload or data variables coming into the task flow. Here's the snipet of code I used to try to set the row using setCurrentRowWithKey value:
public String setRequestId() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Object requestObj = context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(
context, "#{bindings.RequestId.inputValue}", Number.class);
if (requestObj== null)
return null;
Number requestId;
requestId = (Number)requestObj;
DCIteratorBinding itr = (DCIteratorBinding)
getBindings().get ("PatfRequestHdrView1");
itr.setCurrentRowWithKeyValue(requestId.toString() );
return null;
I haven't gotten very far with the second approach, modified SQL where clause, since I don't know Groovy. I think I need something like:
adf.object.viewObj.RequestId. But there isn't a viewObject associated with BPM data, so I'm sure this particular expression won't work.
Any help you can give me is very appreciated.
Regards,
Mark

The first thing I want the task flow to do is display a page with a form showing the values from the database. This is why I tried to call the method first. If I add the setCurrentRowWithKey to the form as a button, I can get the form to load the data, but it's a two step process, requiring the user to click a button. The method approach throws the following exceptioin
