How-to Integration Process

Question about Integration Process:
Would the use of IP be a candidate for the following scenario;
. I'm receiving three text files with three different structures (Header,Detail & Summary).
. Each files contains multiple records.
. For each files, records inside have an ID Number. Which means it's a key. Therefore 1 transaction (example PO#12345) is scattered in those three files.
I need to consolidate, for each record, into one XML message!
Can you correct me if my high level IP is ok or not?
1. Create three receive steps
2. Create correlation based on PO#
3. Create a block
4. Create three transformation steps that will put relevant info into the commun message.
5. Create a send step
Thank for your help!

Hi Guys,
First, to answer Agasthuri, no the sender side can't send us a consolidate file.
Second, to Sekhar, How can I use only one transformation steps? The sources messages have three different structure, therefore 3 messages mappings!
Third, if I don't use BPM, then I will need to collect the first message(outbound) (header) --> Message Mapping to create the consolidated message (inbound)
And collect the second message (outbound) (detail) --> Message Mapping to Update the consolidated message (inbound)
And last, collect the third message (outbound) (summary) --> Message Mapping to Update the consolidated message (inbound)
What's your opinion??????

How check Integration process

Hi friends
I have scenario like when ever maintenance order is created and released an event will trigger function module to post the details to PI to start the Integration Process.
We created Maintenance order in IW31 and released from IW32.
after this i am not able to find messages in SXMB_MONI and I am not able to see in SXMB_MONI_BPE
how to check Integration Process working or not. Please guide me

Hi
you need to put breaakpoint in your FM to see if FM is being triggered and the value are getting inserted into the tables/structure of FM

How to test ABAP mapping used in a Integration Process node

Hi,
anyone can suggest me how to debug an ABAP mapping used into a transformation node belonging to an Integration Process ?
Thanks.
Francesco

Hi, Francesco.
I've debugged ABAP Mapping with SXI_MAPPING_TEST transaction.
If you have creted a scenario including your ABAP Mapping, you only hace to put the correct sender/sender interface and receiver/receiver interface. You have to put some XML document as an input.
I wrote in my code the Break-point instruction an debugged the process without problems.

How to check if message is empty in Integration Process

Hi!
I have Integration Process with container object OUT_CR This type of message I get from another message using xsl-mapping. The point is that result message can be empty (only message header - "<MT_1C_BXY_CR/>").
In Integration Process I place the step Switch where I use condition to determine if my message is empty and if it's not - to send it to receiver system.
I'm beginner in PI and it's the first time I try to use Condition Editor. I tried to put condition like "EX OUT_CR./p1:MT_1C_BXY_CR/ONE" but it doesn't work.
Could you advise me how can I check If the message is empty using Condition Editor in IP? Or may be any tutorial on working with Condition Editor in PI?

you might have to try the XSL function exists - http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_functions.asp
Try the EX operator as shown in this blog Customise your 'XPATH' Expressions in Receiver Determination

fault message type

Hi Spring,
If u give an exception step along with your Transformation Step, whenever some error occurs in your message mapping, this exception block wil be triggered.
You can configure your exception block to do all exception processing that you want. This exception handling is like any other java Exceptio n Handler. You can do anything that you want in your exception handler block on the basis of your requirements.
If an exception is triggered at runtime, the system first searches for the relevant exception handler in surrounding blocks. If it does not find the correct exception handler, it continues the search in the next block in the block hierarchy.
When the system finds the correct system handler, it stops all active steps in the block in which the exception handler is defined and then continues processing in the exception handler branch. Once the exception handler has finished processing, the process is continued after the block.
If the system fails to find an exception handler, it terminates the integration process with an error.

How to configure Integration Builder using an Integration Process?

Dear experts,
I have problems configuring the Integration builder using a Integration process.
Scenario = idoc to PI, integration process transforms idoc to file, file to external system.
My integration process starts with an abstract interface (structure of idoc) and ends with an abstract interface (structure of file). But I just can not configure the integration builder correctly...
I did it as follows:
Sender agreement: comm.component = SAP system; interface = Idoc;
receiver determination: comm.component = SAP system; interface = Idoc; configured receiver = my integration process;
interface determination: comm.component = SAP system; interface = Idoc; receiver = target system comm.component;
Receiver agreement: comm.component = SAP system; receiver = target system comm.component; interface = filestructure of target
This does not work unfortunately. How can I pass the Idoc to my abstract interface? And how can I pass the result of my integration process (abstract interface) to the inbound interface? In the interface determination I can not select my Operation Mapping (but that should not be nessesary as I already created an Integration Process)...
Hope anyone can help.
Thanks and regards
William

Just consider your BPM is receiver, and sender:
Src --> BPM (BPM is Receiver)
==========
Sender Agreement (If it is IDOC or HTTP, then you do not have to create)
Commnunication Channel
Receiver Determination
Interface Determination
BPM --> Target (BPM is sender)
============
Receiver Determination
Interface Determination
Communication Channel
Receiver Agreement
If your BPM interact with other systems, you will have more Receiver Determination and Interface determination, possible Receiver agreement
Hope this clear your doubts

How to Cancel the integration process(ccBPM) after a specifice period

Dear Experts,
I have a ccBPM(integration process) having two receive steps using one correlation,
1. First receive step receives the Delivery IDOC
2. Second receive step receives the Invoice IDOC of the corrospondng delivery of the first receive step using the correlation.
This works perfect when both the documents comes to XI.
Problem is if the delivery comes and invoice dosen't come for some reasons then process is active and waiting indefinately. We want to cancel the integration process if the invoice IDOC is not received in 48 hours.
Please guide how to achive this in ccBPM.
We are working on PI7.0
thanks and regards,
Ravi Siddam

HI,
you can use block step and cancel process after a particular time(48 hours in your case)....
control step has 3 operations.......throw exception,raise alert and cancel process..
Thanks,

On all my other apple devices my Icloud works. I have tride the hard reset idea, i have tried to delete my i clod account on he iphone, but nothing works. Why is the not an integrated process apple? How do i change my apple id and password to my new

Why is the update on Icloud setting not an integrated process Apple desingners! On my apple iphone 5, after new ipdate. My icloud on my iphone askes to back up. It still have my old id an password and I cant change it anywhere. I dont have that email account for a year now , and dont have the password of it. All my other devices shows my new apple Id and password. I cant change it at mannege my apple Id because it is the new one. Itune use the new one, but no, not my iphone. So, what do I do now?

You have to do the following to get your new Apple/iCloud ID signed onto your device:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is temporary):
Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete the iCloud account. Use your current Apple ID password when asked. Follow the prompts to delete the account
3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your new email address (you may need to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with your new Apple ID. Turn on the options you want sync'd with iCloud, give it a little time to push the info down to your device.

How to trigger an integration process at a certain time each night.

I have an integration process to collect messages that I would like to trigger at a specific time each night. I looked at the Wait step in order to do this, but it looks like you can specify a fixed time, or a repeating time.
If I used 'Wait until Specified time', I could specify the time, but the date is a problem; I cannot fix it as a certain date because it will only work for that date only.
If I take the date from a field of the message, I'm not sure what will happen since it looks as if the date would be updated each time a message is received to the collective process.
I could take the date from the first message, and store it as a variable, then use that in the wait step, but since the date is not in the correct format, I would need to use xpath somehow to do that.
Alternatively I was thinking about using a wait for event step, and raising the event from a background job, but this only seems to be available in ABAP Workflow directly, not from the Integration Process Editor. Is it permissable to modify the generated ABAP Workflow and add a Wait for Event step to allow this to happen?
Does anybody have an opinion on the best way to proceed?

How to configure Integration Directory for Integration process async sync

Hi Experts,
I am confused about doing configuration in Integration Directory i.e receiver determination,interface determination and receiver agreement and sender agreement for my integration process as it involve synchronous send at target side.
In my Scenario , we get Purchase order request(asynchronously) from SRM system in proxy xml format which we have to map to Cxml format send it to third party system(say system 2) as http request.Then we will recieve a response from system2 in Cxml format through HTTP.Now,we have to map this response as to SRM system via proxy code for successful and error case .If error occured we also have to mail to the respective department about the error occured via mail adapter.Proxy to XI is a asynchronous communication and XI to System2 is a synchronous communication .Then again XI to SRM is a asynchronous communication via proxy.I have request and response External defination for Cxml i.e HTTP side.
I have done following integration process in ESR
Start- Receive(1)---Transformation(2)-send(3)-Fork(4)--
stop
...................................................................................................... .....[----Branch 1 [-Transformation(5)-Send(6)-
.......................[-----Branch 2 -
SWITCH STEP to check error code[
............................................................................................................[.otherwise branch of switch
Fork(4)----[
.......................[----Branch 1-Transformation (9)-send(10)-
Here,
Recieve(1) -- is used for recieve request from SRM.Mode is asynchronous
Transforamtion(2)-- is used for operation mapping between request of SRM to HTTP request.
send(3) --is used to sending request synchronous to HTTP,mode is synchronous,used synchronous abstract interface,abstract reqhttp and abstract resphttp
switch-switch Branch1 is used for checking error response to be true---
Transformation(5)--- is used to map HTTP response to Mail response structure
Send(6)----
is used to send mail content to Mail adapter
Transformation(9)---- is used to map HTTP response to Proxy response
Send(10) --- used to send mapped proxy response to SRM as to update status by calling calling Function module using proxy code.
Thanks

Deepak,
In BPM data does not flow in Backword direction!
take any step in your BPM the message it is goiong to receive will be what a step just before it is giving to BPM.
Now in your case
IR Part:
You have to call Third part Synchronously and the input to it will be what Proxy has given to you.
Create an Abstract Synchronous(in case of abstract you need not bother it is Inbound or Outbound) in which(I mean the Message Interface) The Output message will be what you have Received from Proxy and the input message will be what you are going to receive from the Third party as a Response. Now you would have Inbound Synchronous Interface created for calling Third party.
Have a Interface Mapping between the Abstract Synchronous and Inbound Synchronous Message Interface.
ID Part:
For synchronous Step: BPM will; be sender with Message Interface Abstarct Synchronous
Third Party will be receiver With Inbound Interface(Synchronous). Use the INterface Mapping between Abstract Synchronous and Inbound Synchronous that You have created in IR.
Have a Receiver Agreement for the Thirs part.
No Sender agreement required in case of BPM as a Sender.
Thanks,
Sunil Singh

Handling fault messages in an Integration Process (bpm)

I have a bpm in PI 7.11 which performs a synch call to an external webservice. In addition to the request/response, that webservice can also generate two faults: ObjectNotFoundFault and generalfault. I am having trouble handling these faults - when a fault occurs my handler is not being invoked and thus the bpm process stops/errors. When I look at the underlying process (via txn swi1), I see the exact error text:
"No exception defined for fault message ObjectNotFoundFault http://www.companyb.com/services/olsa_v1_0/"
From what I understand within the bpm synch call step to the webservice I need to do the following to handle the exception/fault:
- put the synch call (to the webservice) into a block
- add an exception branch to that block named let's say A & set the exception handler of that block to be A
- in the exception setting of that synch step, select A
In my case, I don't care about the fault details other than to ensure it does not stop the whole Integration Process, so in my exception branch I don't do anything. I did try adding a control step within it too (as per SAP Press text book).
Is there anything else I need to do here? I am not mapping the returned fault - does the fault need to be mapped (not sure how I would do this given that the synch step uses an abstract interface and therefore to my knowledge no fault mapping can be done)?
There are 2 Notes that describe my issue exactly:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1484903
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1158699 <-- this one refers more to me, but we already have in 7.11
Can anyone let me know exactly the steps I would perform to handle these faults - does the exception name / handler A above need to be named the actual exception / fault ObjectNotFoundFault?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks - my scenario I guess is #2 of that blog. But is your take that even if I don't care what is in the fault message, i.e. I don't care about the contents of it but rather I just want to continue on from it, that I still need to perform this java coding? It's not clear to me from what he says - it seems to me he does the java coding to actually capture the contents of the message. I am in fact using the soap axis adapter too, as he is. The screen shot showing the exception branch is basically what I have.

Integration Process Receiver Determination Step

Hi experts,
May I know whether the "Receiver Determination Step" (in Integration Process) that collects the list of receivers configured, can be used only to find list of asynchronous receivers?
Can't we use this "Receiver Determination Step" in synchronous scenario? If yes, may i know how to?
Thank you!
Best Regards,
Saravanan

Thank you Gaurav!
I can understand we can use multi-casting.
To clearly put my scenario, I have to use synchronous send (so cannot split send and receive step, and so no need of correlation) in my BPM, which have to synchronously send (and so it receives within same step) message to multiple receivers. This is the reason I am trying to use receiver determination step first and in a loop trying to synchronously send message to each receiver and receiving response.
Now my problem is in the receiver determination step, it is not identifying any of the receivers configured in the integration directory. The receiver determination list returns empty.
So, I want to know whether this receiver determination step is only for async receivers or synchronous receivers also.
Best Regards,
Saravanan N

Performance tuning in objects involving Integration process (BPM)

Hi,
We are facing a performance problem in one of our objects having integration process. The messages are getting processed sequentially instead of parallel processing within the integration process. As a result, the messages are getting queued up in the queue waiting for processing. Thus by the time all messages get processed, the time taken would have been alarmingly high. There is no correlation involved in the int process. My questions are
1. Is there any performance related best practices/checklist/config steps available for BPM related implementation. If so, please furnish/provide the links if any.
2. If it is not related to BPM , but related to tuning up of the queues, please provide the guidelines for queue tune up.
3. How to ensure that the messages are processed in-parallel within BPM ?
Regards
Ganesh

Hi,
Am not sure whether this would help you. By any chance did u use For Each instead of Par For Each.
Cos, when u use For each in an container step, all messages would be processed sequentially.
Do let me know if it helps you!

Missing sender information in message from Integration Process

Hi All,
I am testing a scenario uses Integration Process. This Integration process sends out a async message but this message has empty sender tag in header , Because of this routing rules and agreements defined for this are not triggered and message goes into error state.
There is sender interface Information in message header but not integration process information. I am working on SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 system. This is working from other synchronous interface in same process.
Routing rule and receiver agreement has sender as mandatory field, so can not define generic set without sender component.
I went through SAP Note 807640 But there is no information about such error.
Am I missing something in configuration? Please let me know how can i configure Routing Rule and Interface Determination for this scenario.

Thanks for replying to the post.
Integration process is used as a async-sync bridge. Following are high level steps.
1. Receive async FI message from sender
2. Map message to BAPI SAP FI document
3. call Sync BAPI.
4. Map the response of BAPI.
5. Post it back to sender in async mode.
I am having problem in step 5 where message is coming out of BPE without its own name (i.e sender name). Thus it does not triggers Routing rules and fails.

Idoc to flat file using Integration process does not show up at all

Hello All,
I created a scenario IDOC to Flat File using Integration Process and one without IntegrationProcess. I am able to execute the one without Integration Process easily.
However when I send the IDOC from SAP then the Integration Process scenario just does not work.
I Checked SXMB_MONI There is no entry for the Integration Process.I can see entry for other without Integration Process.
SXI_CACHE : I can see my Integration Process active
SWEQADM : I have activated the Event Queue and Background job
SWF_XI_ADM_BPE : ALL BPE is showing green status.
All syntax check on IP are fine.
There is no Basis Help for me so there could be some additional basis steps which need to be configured. Has anyone faced such an issue with Integration Process?
Regards
Prashanta

Hope this might help you. when u configure an IDoc as Sender with BPM this is how you proceed.
1. let us split the scenario into two.
a. Sender to BPM ( Integration Process).
b. BPM to Receiver.
2. First let us configure the first Sender to BPM.
a. Sender Agreement( Not required ).
b. Receiver Agreement( NOT Required).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service, Outbound Interface, Receiver Service(Integration Process).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface(Sender Abstract Interface), Message Mapping(NOT Required if your using transformation stepin Integration Process)).
3. Now let us configure the Second BPM to Receiver.
a. Sender Agreement( NOT Required)
b. Receiver Agreement( Sender Service(Integration process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver service, Inbound Interface).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service(Integration Process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver Service).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface, Message Mapping(NOT Required)).
So Finally we have One Receiver Agreement, Two Receiver Determinations, Two Interface Determinations.
Please let me know if you have any more queries.
Regards
Gopi
