Mapping inside/outside BPM

Hi All,
I would like to know the flow when mapping is inside BPM and when it is outside BPM.
And also about the configuration steps in either cases.
Thanks,
Vishal

Hi,
Try to avoid using transformation step in BPM, executing mapping program in business process engine not advisable.
Try to execute the mapping program in Interface determination level, in this case mapping will execute in Integration engine.
Flow :
Sender Communication Channel pick ups the message and send it to Adapter engine ,from there internal XI adapter will take the message from AE and send it IE,when you use BPM ,BPE engine come in to picture to execute/process the message, if you use Transformation step , then mapping program will be executed in Business Process Engine.
After execution of mapping program in BPEN then message will be send to IE, from there to AE.
Outbound service Interface---sender abstract interface-receiver abstract interfaceinbound interface (some times).
AE-IEBPEIEAE

How to check data after mapping for BPM if the mapping done outside BPM ?

Hi.
I have simple scenario BPM. Proxy -
> JDBC. I have 1 message mapping in between PROXY and JDBC.
and i have put the mapping outside the BPM (i didn' use transformation step). In case error happen. how i can see the data after the mapping ? i am always got difficulty to check the data if i have mapping outside bpm.
Thank you
Fernand

Hi
In case error happen. how i can see the data after the mapping ?
You have used mapping in interface determination of corresponding receiver determination. In transaction SXMB_MONI, open message corresponding to that receiver determination. There in left hand side you will see IS pipeline steps. There if you want to see message payload that is input to Mapping than see payload of any pipeline step before Request Message Mapping and test it in Design. If mapping fails you can see trace of the same step.
Request Message Mapping ---> SOAP Header ---> Trace
There you can see where your mapping failed.
And as rohit replied you can also get message from RWB.
For further clarification revert back to us.

Message Mapping outside BPM

I often see a point from XI-Legends that a Message Mapping should be executed out side the BPM and that will make the XI performance good.
How to do a Message Mapping outside BPM? What does it mean?
Any Blog that narrates the above situation?
Thanks.

Data Types
Source/Sender Data Format ---     DT_Sender File
Target/Receiver Data Format --     DT_Receiver
Message Types
Sender Message Type - MT_SenderFile
Receiver Message Type - MT_ReceiverFile
Message Interface
MI_OB_Sender(Async, Outbound)            MI_IB_Receiver(Asynch,Inbound)
AI_Sender(Async, Abstract)                    AI_Receiver(Async,Abstract)
So
if the mappaing is done between
MI_OB_Sender       To   AI_Receiver           (Its Before BPM)
AI_Sender              To   MI_IB_Receiver      (Its After BPM)
AI_Sender              to AI_Receiver            (Its inside BPM)
Whether my understanding is correct? Thanks for your patience.

PI 7.11: Mapping inside or outside PI??

Hi,
We have an IDoc to SOAP scenario.
Currently we have many issues with that interface, because the message mapping is very complicated (various entries per infotype have to be mapped to one target field etc.).
Wouldn't it be easier (especially for me as an ABAPer) to do the mapping in a user exit on SAP ERP side and call the PI WS from there?
Then we would have only to bypass the data through PI, because the inbound/outbound message type would be the same.
For me it always takes ages to find out what's wrong inside the mapping.
And the graphical mapping becomes very confusing even for easy mappings.
In ABAP the mapping part would be much easier!
What is here the best practice?
Do PI developers have always the aim to do all the mapping inside PI?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
my problem is still not solved
I've extended Idoc HRMD_A06 now.
The problem is, that it works only if i put the Z segment under segment E1PITYP, which is always linked to an Infotype (currently I put '0000' as Infotype).
E1PITYP contains the following fields:
PLVAR     PLVAR
OTYPE     OTYPE
OBJID     HROBJID
INFTY     INFOTYP
SUBTY     SUBTYP
BEGDA     PD_BEGDA
ENDDA     PD_ENDDA
LONG_INFTY     LONG_INFTY
I tried to put my segment under header segment E1PLOGI, but then SM58 gives me the following error:
Segment 'ZHRMD_A06', segmentnumber '000084' not correct in structure
E1PLOGI has the following fields:
PLVAR     PLVAR
OTYPE     OTYPE
OBJID     HROBJID
PROOF     CHAR1
OPERA     HROPERA
SERIAL_COUNTER     CHCOU
FILTER1     HRMD_FILTER1
FILTER2     HRMD_FILTER2
I don't really understand why I cannot do it that way...
My question:
Is there a way to include my data without linking it to an HR Infotype???

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.

Google map inside the spry collapsible panel

So this time I've bumped into interesting 'bug'. I've placed the google map inside the spry collapsible panel. Panel is set to the closed mode on load of page. When I open the tab, map appears, but address marker is hidden behind the top left corner. If I place the same map outside the collapsiple panel it renders all well.
So my question is whether there is any way around this issue. When I know where the marker is hidden I can simply move the map and see it, but customer who's not aware of the problem will see only blank map with not marked address which is not acceptable.
cheers,
Simon

Sure mate. Here you go:
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel">
              <div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0">SHOW MAP</div>
              <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
              <cfmap width="242" height="200" zoomlevel="12" name="mainMap" markercolor="333444" showscale="false"
typecontrol="none" showcentermarker="true" centeraddress="#get_event.event_address1#, #get_event.event_address2#, #get_event.event_city#,#get_event.event_county#, #get_event.event_postcode#, #get_event.event_country# "
></cfmap>
              </div>
            </div>
And this bit goes at the bottom of the code :
<script type="text/javascript">
var CollapsiblePanel1 = new Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1", {contentIsOpen:false});
</script>
And that would be the preview that I get once the panel is open:
And that is the preview of how it should look:
As you can see the map marker sticks to the top left corner. I was wondering whether there is any way to re-focus it once the panel is open.
cheers,
Simon

Issue with using BRM Ruleset inside a BPM Process

Hi all,
I am trying to use a BRM Ruleset using a Mapping artifact inside my BPM process. I have used the same data type (XSD) for my process context and my ruleset parameters.
Yet on building the Process DC, I get an error that "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid restriction, base is not set on... ". I haven't be able to find the cause of the issue as I have passed the same parameter the Ruleset expects.
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue? Or am I missing somthing here?
Thanks
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
We need more information on the error occured. Can you please provide me with the complete error message you are getting?
Also, if possible can you provide the complete error log here.

Nat (inside,outside) static 200.x.x.x

Hi Everyone,
Say we have webserver which has internal IP of 172.16.10.10
If we need outside users from internet who need to access the webserver on IP say 200.x.x.x
We can config the NAT as below also
nat (inside,outside) static 200.x.x.x
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
I would usually configure a normal Static NAT as Network Object NAT
You first configure a "object network " under which you configure the source IP for the NAT configuration with the "host" command. Finally you enter the "nat" command inside/under the "object network ".
object network STATIC
host 172.16.10.10
nat (inside,outside) static 200.x.x.x
Depending on how the rest of the NAT configuration is built, some other NAT rule might override this but personally I have not had problem with configuring Static NAT this way.
You also have an option to configure the NAT in the following way
object network SERVER-REAL
host 172.16.10.10
object network SERVER-MAPPED
host 200.x.x.x
nat (inside,outside) source static SERVER-REAL SERVER-MAPPED
As you can see the difference from the first way I mentioned is the fact that we use Manual NAT / Twice NAT to configure this Static NAT. We create 2 "object network " which define the real and the mapped IP address. We then use those objects in the actual "nat" configuration.
The difference with the above 2 NAT configurations is that the Network Object NAT s on lower priorty in the ASA NAT rules compared to the above Manual NAT.

N:1 Mapping - W/ O BPM

We r on SPS 18.
Can we do N:1 Mapping - W/ O BPM.

Narayana,
Your requirement is completely different from Naveen's. His requirement was to map different msg types/ N number of same msg to single msg type. But in your case, you are having a single msg as input and single msg as output. You need to map different elements in source to a single target node. For this purpose, as I already replied in your thread, use an advanced UDF that will take N elements from source as input.

How to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist

I Have created a flex field label and was able to map to the flex field attributes .
But when i try to create a rules , I don't see the label or the flex attributes in the task payload .
Can someone please help is understanding how to create Rules with Flex Field mapping in the bpm worklist .
Even I am also searching for any scripts which will take the flex fields prompts and can directly create a label in the bpm worklist .
Any pointers or suggestion is highly appreciated .

Hi,
SE38 -> Enter program
Select Variants button and display. In the next screen, enter a variant name, (If not existing , press Create to create new one), else click on Change.
Now the selection screen will display with a button "Variant Attributes" at the top.
Click on that button.
In the next screen, go to the selection variable column of the date field. Press F4 or drop down and select 'D' for date maintenance.
In the column "Name of Variable (Input Only Using F4)" press F4 or drop down, select whichever kind of date calculation you want and save the variant.
Now whenever you run the prgrm with this variant, date will be displayed by default.

Subramanian

Mapping Errors in BPM

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

Hi Anurag.
Handling the mapping exceptions in BPM could be possible using the Alerts.
Go through this blog for Alert Configuration:

Message mapping when using BPM?

We are doing a test to see if you can do a split of a string using standard functions, UDF or BPM.
We discovered that standard function has some of the functionality but if you are going to solve the problem that way the solution will be very complex. You will get no flexi bility in how to design the string and all the feilds will have to have fix length. So Standard functions are not the solution for us.
UDF works realy great. Write your java function and map it and everything are running.
We wont to test BPM as well. and i just started to look at it and how to solve it. I'm a newbee on BPM and for start I'm wondering how the message mapping should look to use in the BPM?
Sourcemessage looks as follow:
<Header>
   <Line>
      <SegmentA>   0 to unbounded
      <SegmentB>   0 to unbounded
      <SegmentC>   0 to unbounded
SegmentA contains a value to be copied to a segment in the target.
SegmentB contains a date to be copied to a targetelement.
SegmentC contains a string that we want to split into several elements in the target structure.
Targetmessage looks as follow:
<Header>
   <LineA>   1 to 1   (Will get the value from SegmentA in the sourcemessage.)
   <LineB>   1 to 1   (Will get the value from SegmentB in the sourcemessage.)
   <LineC>   0 to unbounded
      <ElementA>   0 to 1   (Will get a part of the string from SegmentC in the sourcemessage.)
      <ElementB>   0 to 1   (Will get a part of the string from SegmentC in the sourcemessage.)
      <ElementC>   0 to 1   (Will get a part of the string from SegmentC in the sourcemessage.)
To able to get the messages into BPM I need a interfacemapping and to do the interfacemapping I need to do a messagemapping. How should that messagemapping be configured?

> Now i want to try to replace that UDF with a BPM (Integration Process).
An UDF is part of a mapping and an Integration Process is used if you want to realize a more complex scenario then sending a message from System A to System B. In BPM you can do things like collecting messages, use timeouts, ...
But if you want to use a mapping in a BPM you define your mapping in your Integration Repository (like in a standard scenario without BPM) and then you can use the mapping in the Integration Process.
That's why i say it's maybe possible to realize your mapping without UDF (for example only with standard functions), but it makes no difference if you use BPM.
If you want to try finding a solution without UDF, i would suggest to open a new thread for this question.
Hope this helps.

1:N mapping without using BPM

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in 1:N mapping without using BPM...
I would explain regarding it first...
Scenarion is from SAP > XI> 3files
I have 4 XSD's 1) one is Source Idoc XSD (all xsd's imported to External def.s)
                      2) target file 1 XSD
                       3) target file 2 XSD
                      4) target file 3 xsd
I have created 4 message interfaces one is Outbound and rest 3 are Inbound
and also i have done mapping : In mapping messages tab i have mentioned the 3 XSD(External definitions) and done the mapping as required...
But now my problem is how to proceed with Interface mapping ...
should i create 3 interface mappings ( ithink no) ... but in IM i am able to create for only one taget Interface .. how to with 3 XSD's ...
Any solution is always thankfull...
and Points are surely rewarded....
Thanks and Regards,
Sridhar Reddy

Hi Sridhar,
Receiver Determinatiion: one Receiver without Condition (Service that has all the Three inbound Interfaces).
Then in Interface Determination choose enhanced and choose ur Interface Mapping that has the Multi Mapping.
It will automatically provide the three inbound Interfaces and u can create ur receiver agreements.

Web service response processing inside a BPM

Hi Experts,
Please can you let me know if it is possible to achieve the following inside a BPM:
u2022     Once you getting the web service SOAP response, determine if itu2019s a SOAP fault or a normal web service response.
u2022     If itu2019s a SOAP fault, create a retry loop with a wait step inside the BPM to try and retry the process (perhaps 5 times in 1 minute intervals).
u2022     After the retry intervals, if the message is still in a failed step, force the BPM to go into an error state
u2022     If the Web Service returns a normal response, log the response inside a database table and end the BPM
If it is possible, please can you provide an example?
Thank you,
Brendon
