Mapping Errors in BPM

Hi All,
How can the mapping errors in BPM be handeld implicitly (without the use of Exception Handling Branch)
Regards,
Anurag

Hi Anurag.
Handling the mapping exceptions in BPM could be possible using the Alerts.
Go through this blog for Alert Configuration:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--step-by-step
And also go through this thread:
alert in BPM
Hope this helps you.

Mapping Error during BPM

Hi Gurus,
Im configuring a scenario to perform idoc collections using BPM.
When im testing the scenario, the SXMB_MONI transaction is telling me that there is a mapping error. I went thru the messages in SXMB_MONI but im unable to find out where the is the mapping error. In addition, I tried to test the scenario by sending 2 idocs and but its seems that the BPM is not triggered. It seems like somehow the erroneous BPM is stuck and im unable to trigger it anymore. I created a new BPM and tested it, it got triggered but is still giving me the mapping error.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I referred to the below blog but i do not have the option for Create New Transformation under the Transformation step.
Transactional Behavior in BPM.
But i managed to get some information on the mapping error
Cannot produce target element /ns0:Messages/ns0:Message1/PEXR2001/IDOC.
Im trying to collect all the PEXR2001 idocs, i.e. im going a N to 1 mapping. I've mapped the PERX2001 element of the source to element IDOC of the target. Is this correct? I've change the source from 0 to Unbounded.
In addition, now in SXMB_MONI, after i click on PE, im getting the following message
Message DD8878FE218C60F1948400170853600D held at process 000000002001 but not yet processed.
Is there any tcode i can goto to trigger this process?
Thanks!!!

Alerts on mapping error from BPM

In my BPM, when I use 'Throw Alert' via control step before transformation, it creates an Alert.
What I would like to do is to Throw Alert when there is a mapping error. And in order to do this, I created an exception block within my transformation step and inserted an exception handler. And in the exception handler, I created control step with 'Throw Alert'.
When there is a mapping error, I do not get an Alert but throws an exception.
Is there anything I'm missing.
Thank you,
Parimala

hi,
Following is the required order
1. Create a block Step BLK_TransformationExceptions.
2. In the properties of BLK_TransformationExceptions
    define an exception TransformException
3. Add Exception Branch into block step.
4. Set the exception handler to TransformException
5. Add your transformation step into block step.
6. In the properties of transformation step set the
    system exception to TransformException(your custum
    exception)
5. Move your alert login into the exception handler.

Message Mapping Error in BPM

when message mapping, if the length of source field is longer than specified length, I need to output these kinds of messages. what is the solution?

Hi,
        try using a user defined function written in java where u can check for the condition and raise a exception.
           if(sourcefield.length()>16)
S.O.P("The Invoice Number is greater than 16 characters");
or
   using a BPM where u can check whether Invoice number is greater than 16 characters and if it is true then raise an exception and send the message through BPM.

Catch mapping error message in BPM Exception branch

Hi dudes,
Does anyone know how to catch the mapping runtime error message into a BPM exception branch? I know how to create an exception branch and how to trigger it, but I wonder whether it's possible to pass the mapping error message as shown in SXI_MONITOR (i.e. 'Cannot create target element XXXXX. Values missing in queue context').
Otherwise, everytime my BPM fails I will have to take the payload and run the mapping test in order to find out the reason of the error.
Many thanks in advance!
Paco

Thanks,
My problem is not about handling exception in BPM, but getting the mapping error description and then passing it to the exception branch.
I can see in the workflow log that this info is contained into the Exception container EXCEPTIONS[2] / T100MSG:
Message Class: SAI_MAPPING
Message Number: 217
Message Type: E
Message Variable: com/sap/xi/tf/_<MM name>
Message Variable: com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.IllegalInstanceExcepti
Message Variable: on: Cannot create target element /ns1:<path/field>.Message Variable: Values~
The text in bold is the one I am interested in to be get and mapped into the exception branch.

Mapping error in the BPM!!

Hi Fiends,
I have a BPM ..where I have the steps defined like this..
Transform -> send mail..
In the transformation ..I have a simple mapping program(source & the target structures have got one field)..
message type structures are like this..
source& target
Return key ---> 1:1
field1 --->1:1
mapping is like this :
Field1--->field1(when field1 is not empty)
If field1 is empty then -> I am sending some constant to the target ...and in the mapping it is working fine...
My mail is working perfectly when there is some value in field1..and I am getting a mail..
and when there is no value in field1..I am getting mapping error.
do you have any idea..how can I solve this issue..plz help me..
Thanks..

Raju,
Try tracing the "transformation" step in BPM. Check the instance of the message in sxmb_moni and click 'PE' so you will be in 'workflow log' here you could see the data flow of your message inside BPE. Here you can trace were your message got exception. If it is in transformation step then click on 'list tech details' (left top corner) then click on 'show container' button corresponding to that 'transformation step'. Its similar to using trace area in sxmb_moni. here you will be aware of mapping error.
Hope it will be helpfull.

BPM Mapping Error using JDBC adapter JDBC - SAP - JDBC

Hi
I am facing an issue in XI BPM in my QA system .
My scenario involves a JDBC sender adapter which calls an SQL in the legacy database , a BPM which process the SQL resultset and IDoc send from BPM to R/3.Once IDoc is send successfully to R/3 XI BPM sends a response back to legacy database.
There are 4 mapping transforations inside BPM.
First XI executes an SQL in the database and then transforms it using BPM steps.
I have not made any changes in the mapping or within BPM.
However since last week the BPM is failing . When I checked the error log I found out the error due to mapping transformation in one of the steps.
In fact XI fails to successfully map in that step.
The same BPM and mapping works fine in the Production system.
However when I manually tried to test the BPM and the mappings with Production payload in XI QA system it again failed.
I believe the message is failing not due to data problem.
I also tried by deactivating and reactivating the XI sender channel which calls the SQL in the database.
Then I tried by restarting all backgrounds jobs related to BPM.
Both apprpoaches failed.
I am getting the following error in transformation step.
<b>com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeExceptionRuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~</b>.
Any inputs will be very helpful and rewarded.
Thanks in advance.

Please provide more detailed exception trace.
Also, I have seen some cases where the imported/deployed classes simply disapeared!!!
I had to make dummy changes in all my message mappings and activate them in order to get them working.

Henrique

Catch Mapping Errors on the Exception Hander in a BPM

Hi All
I am struggling to catch maping error in the Exception Handler, so my question is that, is it possible the catch mapping errors in the Exception Handler using BMP

Hello Yonela!
In the Transformation Step properties you can specify the exception handler in case the step fail. For more information, please check the help pages below

How to catch SAP application errors in BPM.

Hi,
I have a IDOC to Soap Sync Scenario where I send the message to a Webservice. I have used a BPM since we need to catch the resposne of this message and map it to a RFC. For ex if I get a success resposne I need to map success if not than I need to catch the error and map it to the RFC. Now here in some cases like if the target system (webservice) is down than XI raises a sap application error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Category>XIAdapterFramework</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="MESSAGE">GENERAL</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1 />
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: Connection refused (errno:239)</SAP:AdditionalText>
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack />
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
Normally XI stops the process in these cases and does not proceed to the next step but I need to catch this message and map the content in the AdditionalText to the target RFC. Can anyone let me know how to catch this SAP Application Error in BPM and map it to the RFC.
Thanks,
Bhargav

Hi Gaurav,
As I have mentioned I need to catch the application error in the BPM. If you see the discussion that is mentioned after the blog you have mentioned it is stated that the fault messages or the application error cannot be caught in BPM.
In the blog that you stated we can catch the fault message and map it to a message structure but only to that extent after that it would stop the BPM process at that step but would not proceed further as shown in the screenshot given in the blog it would fail as "application error restart not possible".
I need to proceed further and capture this error to an RFC Structure and call a proxy.
Here after the error it does not proceed to the next step.
Thanks,
Bhargav

Multi-Mapping Error after copying into new namespace

Hi everybody,
we got a BPM running using a multi-mapping.
We decided to design new namespaces. After copying every IR object (datatype, message-type, mappings etc.) --> SXMB_MONI shows a mapping-error.
But when I take the payload and test the mapping, everything is fine?
Any ideas?
Regards Mario

Hi,
If your payload has Messages tab remove that..and test the payload.
Payload doesn't have any Messages tab.
Just i have given example payload..this payload two strucures it will split into twofiles..and compare your payload should be like same
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<STRUCTURE>
<EMP_DETAILS>
   <EMPNO>123<EMPNO>
   <EMPNAME>XYZ<EMPNAME>
<EMP_DETAILS>
<STUDENT_DET>
   <STUO>123<STUNO>
   <STUNAME>XYZ<STUNAME>
</STUDENT_DET>
<STRUCTURE>

Catch Mapping Error in File to IDoc scenario

Configured BPM and now learning Error Handling. I know that through BPM we can handle system Errors, but I doubt whether Mapping error is a system error.
I am interested to know the classification of errors with examples, preferably listing out all types of errors.
Please provide some weblogs or explain briefly how to handle system and application errors through BPM.
Thanks,
Raja

Hi Raja,
You will need CCMS if you want to send the Alerts to external system or you want to access the ALerts from the transaction. You can capture your alerts without this also.
When you go to Alert Configuration in the Runtime Workbench you can see Create Alert Rules. These rules are pertaining to the error generated in your AF,AE or IE.
Once you have completed the whole config. The error happening in the AE, IE or AF would trigger the alert. you can see this in your Alert Inbox.
The best would be if you go through the URL I have mentioned below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/942f3ffed33d67e10000000a114084/content.htm
You have to use BPM only if you want to do an activity after the alerts are raised.

Runtime errors in BPM

Hi all,
We have a transformation step that is generating mapping errors at runtime. We do not see alerts generated by default on the alert framework for these errors. Is this expected? Should we be implementing the alert generation specifically inside the BPM using exception block (if it alerts are not generated by default)?
Thanks

Hi,
If you are using BPM, it is prefer to throw an Alert from BPM itself. Anyway if you configure the alert for Message Mapping, if there is any Runtime Mapping Errors it should throw alerts.
Btw, you can cross check this guide to find more tips:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/09/xi-alerts--troubleshooting-guide
So It should show alerts for Transformation Error if you configure the Alerts correctly
Hope this helps,

Debug ABAP Multi Mapping in a BPM

Hi Guys,
My scenario is as follows.
1) Send IDOCS from SAP.
2) Loop start
3) Collect in BPM based on some correlation
4) append to a multi line container
5) Loop ends at certain condition
6) Transform using interface mapping which is in this case ABAP mapping.
7) Send the merged message
I am facing a mapping error, but could not figure out what it is, it says
"Parsing error after mapping: unexpected symbol: '<' (line 0, column 53)"
My question is how to debug ABAP Mapping when it is BPM.
Things already done and did not work
1) HTTP break point does not work as BPM is run by WF-BATCH user and it is not a dialog user, so debug window does not appear when the mapping is running
2) I cannnot use SXI_MAPPING_TEST transaction as any of BPM cannot be selected on the first screen, without which it does not allow you to debug.
Please help me how to go into a debugger when my Multi ABAP mapping is executed in the system.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Sujan

Hi Sujan,
Try debugging with this approach if possible.
1. Unregister your queue from TC SMQR
2. Execute your scenario
3. Check the Queue and Debug your LUW by pressing Debug LUW.
4. Set the breakpoint at your mapping program and test.
5. After completion Register your queue again.
Pls see the document more more details.

Handling Java Mapping Exception in BPM Transformation step

Dear SDN members,
I have developed a File to File scenario using BPM as follows.
Step 1:
Sender file adapter picks the file from FTP server and using file content conversion mapped to XML structure.
Step 2:
BPM will recieve the XML payload , immediately in the block a transformation step is called with an interface mapping. In the interface mapping a Java mapping will be executed with certain data validations on the XML payload. If found any invalid data is there a suitable excptions will be raised . Here the transformation step should be catch the error and control should be sent to exception block to place the recived file as a error file.
else if the transformation is executed with out any issues, the file will be placed in success folder.
But in the transformation step, though java mapping thorwing exceptions, the control not going into exception block, instead it is continuing to next step i.e the file is placing in the success folder.
Can anybody tell me, how to handle the exceptions raised in java mapping in the BPM transformation step?
I have refered all the SDN blogs, forums related to this issue, but could not able to find the answer. Please help me?
Thanks & Regards
Vijayanand Poreddy

Hi Abhishek,
Once the file is picked from FTP server then sent to BPM,
the BPM steps
Step1:
-->Recive
Step 2:
Block Starts
   ---Block Start: New Transaction
   ---Block End : New Transaction
   ---Exception : Error
Step 3
Inside the Block
Transformation Step
   --Interface Mapping: <IM Name>
   -- Check box ticked for Create New Transcation
   -- Exceptions
      --System Error: Error
   --Source Message: Message recieved in Recieve Step (Step 1)
Step 4:
--Send
--Source Maessage: Output message from the Transformation Step
Block End
Inserted a Exception Branch for Block
Steps inside Exception Branch
-Control
    --Throw Alert
   --Alert Name
In the above scenario
The transformation step is not throwing error even my interface mapping going to error. The same transformation step if i place outside the block next to recieve step, then the transformation step is throwing error and BPM stops the process.
Also, when transformation is inside the block, i have used the exception handling on the send step inside the block. here it is throwing error as the source message payload is empty. because in the preceding transformation step the interface mapping is failed due to which there the target will not be filled. But even though it is not entered into exception block.

Mapping error for MessageSplit

Hello,
I am getting mapping error when i tried the scenario MessageSplit using BPM.Could somebody guide me in this context
Illustration of Multi-Mapping and Message Split using BPM in SAP Exchange Infrastructure i have followed this blog, but during mapping i have created mapping using createIF node functions when i test the mapping i am getting the below error as cannot produce target element check the source xml instance, i am newbie to this world.
Rajesh

Hi,
Check the transformation step again and check this thread An empty container element
Also try to post one question per thread. Close the thread once you get the reply for the original one.
Thanks!
