Mass interfaces: BPM or RFC wrapper

Hello
My scenario is HTTP->XI->RFC. Sender interface has collection of objects. SAP side has BAPI that works with one object. For example BAPI like CHANGE, CREATE doesn't take collection.
What is the best design - to emulate mass interfaces in BPM(forEach block) or to create a RFC wrapper that takes collection and executes BAPI for each object?

Hi,
you can also try creating an IDOC
(which will invoke your bapi inside)
and post then all in a bundle
(even from BPM)
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change
it many not be very easy to design a BAPI
for many messages and with IDOC approach
you just need one - so more or less standard
and you can post then as in my weblog
BTW
your scenario has to be async of course for this

michal

Need help with scenario BPM Http-RFC Sync/async bridge

hi all!
i've got the following scenario: HTTP-BPM(XI)-RFC synchronous both of them. for that, i'm using S/A bridge in the BPM, but i'm getting the error 'Timeout condition of pipeline reached'. i think the problem is that the process gets lost in the sync/async communication, because in the trace level shows CL_XMS_PLSRV_CALL_BPE-ENTER_PLSRV" and after that every message are 'wait time starting'.
don't know the reason of the error. Maybe I missed something to configure?
the BPM is like this:
Receiver(Open Sync/Async bridge) -> Transformation (mapping from http request to RFC request) -> SyncSend (RFC request and response) -> Transformation (mapping from rfc response to http response) -> Send (Close S/A Bridge)
the IR is configured like this:
Message Types u2013 External Definitions u2013 Imported Objects
mt_cxml_request -> contains xsd of xcml request template.
mt_cxml_response -> contains xsd of xcml response template.
zintegracion_pedidos -> imported RFC from R/3
zintegracion_pedidos.response -> imported RFC from R/3

Interface Mappings
im_cxml_request_async_abs_to_rfc_request_async_abs
im_rfc_response_async_abs_to_cxml_response_async_abs

not sure these are the steps i had to do for mapping xml to rfc. but the result is the same error as before, the timeout.
i couldn't test with RTW because i'm getting an error 401 unauthorized.
i'd do it without BPM but the issue is that i wanted to add another step that would be to send the response from rfc to mail too once i got this BPM running. i mean, the response from RFC would be sent to http response and mail both.
the only way i can imagine to do it is with BPM but i'm really fed up with it.
thank u very much folks

"No Receiver Determined" in BPM Sync RFC Call

My scenario is xml file -> XI BPM -> RFC1 -> RFC2 (will call RFC2 if RFC1 is successful).
I am still just trying to get the RFC1 call working properly. I have been using blogs 1822, 1403 and 1926. I have also used some related BPM threads. It seems to be making the RFC call properly, but failing on the response.

Keith,
the problem is quite clear.
In your BPM, you have a synchronous interface in your sync send step.
However, in configuration, you have configured two asynchronous interfaces.
To be able to use sync send step in BPM, your RFC needs to be able to send a response back. Then you need to have two message mappings (one for bpm->rfc messages, and other for rfc_response -> bpm_response messages) and a interface mapping between the 2 sync interfaces (bpm_sync_int -> rfc_sync_int) using these 2 message mappings.
Also, some hints:
1. Don't do these mappings in BPM transformation step. You can execute them outside of BPM. Doing this, you will get better performance and also won't need to create abstract interfaces for RFC messages.
2. Use configuration wizard in Integration Directory (first, remove and reimport your BPM in Integration Directory). This way, you avoid different interfaces errors.

Henrique.

Without BPM:Call RFC using JCO in interface mapping using java mapping

Hi all
I have a very small scenario where REQUEST from the customer comes via Web Service all i have to do is to read the request using SOAP adapter and call an interface mapping(lets say the name is IM_TEST) inside which there is a JAVA MAPPING program written which will call an RFC in CRM using JCO.
Now this was really simple and i cud test the Interface mapping successfully, but the problem is when loading the scenario in integration directory i have certain things to do
1. to set the SENDER AGREEMENT which i did correctly
2. set the RECEIVER DETERMINATION, INTERFACE DETERMINATION AND RECEIVER AGREEMENT now here i am stuck because there is no receiver in my case as the RFC is called inside the mapping only.
can i call one more message mapping in IM_TEST which will write file onto the XI directory and then in RECEIVER DETERMINATION, INTERFACE DETERMINATION AND RECEIVER AGREEMENT i can mention the reciever as FTP.
I tried it but i gives the following error
Runtime exception occurred during execution of application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TEST_WRITE_FILE: com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException; Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!
Please help me how to complete the scenario so that customer can run it end to end.

Stefen
What do i do then...actually this is the project requirement. They want a very fast response from PI and thats why they wnt us to omit BPM and the Graphical mapping from the scenario.
I am able to test the interface mapping which calls the the Java mapping inside which there is an RFC call, but i cannot implement it end - to - end as there is no receiver business system in this case. The only business system i have is the SOAP sender.
I am really troubled now, please help me with a solution.
Is there any other possible way through which the process can become very fast whic hcan meet their requirement.

Choosing Receiver Interface (IDoc or RFC) without using BPM

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein the receiver interface (either IDoc or RFC) must be dynamically determined at runtime based on the source message. I've tried using Multi-Mapping but this did not work since IDoc and RFC interfaces are not on the same Adapter Engine.
How do I configure this scenario without using BPM?
Thanks,
Francis

Hi,
>That was my first solution but it did not work since it seems that conditions only work for determining the Operation Mapping to use for the same Receiver interfaces.
not true - not only Operation Mapping but also receiver agreement
so the receiver's channel
>I was misled into thinking that we could use it to dynamically determine the receiver interface.
but you can do it over there
intrface determination can be used for pseudo receiver determination too
so you can have one interface that either goes to one
channel or the other (within the same receiver)

We need to create output file for each record. In this case, the system should generate 26 output files.
I imported the RFC and created the required interfaces and designed BPM also.
Start --> Receive step --> Synchronous Send --> Asynchronous Send
But, I stuck in how to deliver each record to the output file from BPM.
Any idea, friends. (like using BPM Multi-line option. or 'Receiver From' property in the Send Step)
Kindly help me friends to solve this issue.
Thanking you.
Kind Regards,
Jeg P.

Hi
You can do it by creating one another message interface having structure same as your table.
What you have to do is create a mapping in such a way that for each record in table one message(newly created) must be created.
Use that mapping in an interface mapping, remember occurence of target message should be 0..Unbounded both in message mapping and interface mapping.
Now create one single line message and one multiline message in BPM for newly created message.Use transformation step with new interface mapping, mention source(RFC response) and target message(use multiline element of new message) for the transformation step.
Use send step inside a block,set block mode to "forEach", and attach new message to that send step.
Use multiline and single element of new message in the property window of block.
Now your BPM will look like
Start ---> Receiver ---> Synchronous send ---> Transformation ---> Block ---> Async Send(within block)
I think in this way you can implement what you want.

Sami

Sych BPM scenario (RFC to SOAP)

Hello
I am using the RFC2SOAP scenario using the process shown below to get alerts.
Receive - Open S/A bridge ( Sync receive)
Transform - Request_Asyn ( Mapping from RFC request to SOAP request)
Sync Send - Call SOAP
Transform - Response Asyn ( Mapping from SOAP response to RFC response)
Send - Close S/A bridge
Switch - Success / Failure
Control - Alert
My question is: How many Receiver detrminations need to be provided. Also, system is not proposing the Abs mapping between RFC and SOAP Sync Messages automatically.
Did any one has implemented this scenario, will this process work ?
Appreciate any help.
Regards
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
Sync BPM works fine, but i doubt if the below scenario works.
1) I dont think in your Transform the Request/Response be Async. cos all are sync calls. secondly if you open S/A bridge, you are supposed to give Abstract Sync Interface.
2) I doubt the swtich and control step as well, I dont know what msg you would get at that stage, because the 'S/A close' would end the call by sending back the response to Interface (AbsSync as per #1).
Hope this helps,
keep us posted of the outcome of your trials.

Vishnu

How to clear JCA interface parameters in RFC call?

hi all,
this is my trouble:
I have to call an RFC Function with JCA connector in an EP6 SP2. The connection it's ok and works well. But if i modify the interface parameters of the RFC function i must to reboot the portal for read the new interface.
It's possible to read the new interface without restart the system.
Thanks for all your helps!

BPM- scenario RFC - XI - receive file - - SOAP - return answer to RFC

Hello everybody,
I have the scenario
RFC call a BPM
In the BPM, I have to receive information from a file ( generated by another system 4 times in a day)
Mix the data of the file with the data of RFC
Send them a SOAP
send the reply to the RFC
My problem is : how to receive the file on demand because in file adapter ( sender ), the definition is only by interval of time?
Is there anybody who can help me?
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Eric.

Hi Eric,
in sender file adapter, we just have polling interval - so in your receive step in BPM you have to wait for the source file.....
i do not think any other workaround will be feasible for your this case

How to reprocess an interface with a RFC problem

Hi.
I have a simple scenario File->RFC->FILE
In the BPM that i use, i send some data vía RFC to a R3 Backend and retrieve it. FInally, i create a file with the result.
The send step that sends the data to R3 backend has been defined with a transport confirmation.
My problem is that the BPM has send the info to R3, has received the ACK and at this time, the R3 has crashed.
Now R3 is back again and the Receive Step of the BPM is waiting for the answer. I've checked Sm58 in R3 Backend but no entries in it.
How can i send once more the RFC now that R3 is ready?
Thanks.
Inigo.

If so it is like of 2 scenarios. You need to have 2 receiver determinations
1) Sender File to RFC in R/3
2) R/3 to File
But if you want to execute these 2 separate scenarios in sequence then the current design should have these BPM steps
1) Receive File data
2) Transofrmation step ( InputFile to RFC1)
3) Send the RFC data
4) Receive the RFC2 data
5) Transformation Step (RFC2 to OutputFile)
6) Send this to file
You can avoid transformation steps inside the BPM. for this you need to do mapping outside the BPM

Moorthy

XI Interface With CRM RFC

I have a BAPI in CRM that I call from XI via RFC. In CRM, I want to be able to see what happens with the function; whether it fails, abends, etc. I have some strange things happen and am trying to trouble shoot the cause. From the XI side, all looks like it went well.

Hi,
What version of CRM are you using ?
Try running transaction SPROXY in CRM and see if anything happens.
If so, check under your namespace and see if you can see your interface defined. If you can then just right click on your interface to generate the required ABAP proxy.
I have just finished a CRM/XI project and the majority of integration was done using ABAP proxies. Any functions that were called were inside the ABAP proxy instead of using the RFC adapter. It was far easier and quicker doing it this method instead.
Only use IDOCs if the standard IDOC fits your requirement - otherwise do not bother.
Cheers
Colin.

Rfc wrapper

hi
i wanna use bapi_po_create in http to bapi scenario.
i need steps to create custom wrapper from bapi with some fields not to be used
The custom BAPI has only a minimal number of import parameters, representing the
mandatory fields. This will simplify the mapping definition process.
thanks and regards
vijender

> This will simplify the mapping definition process.
Normally a Wrapper RFC is written as your current RFC does not meet the required functionality. If you want to write a Z RFC because you just want to simplify maping in XI, it makes no sense. You can always disable the fields you dont want.

Bhavesh
