Multiline option in BPM?

hi
can anyone explain the multiline option in the Intergration Process in BPM?

A multiline container element is a table comprising elements of the same type. For example, if you want to gather messages in a container element, you must define this element as a multiline container element.
In other words: a multiline container element can contain several 'abstract message interfaces', which are stored in a container element as well. Using a block in your integration process, it is possible to 'loop' over the individual rows of the multiline element.
I hope this definition explains the multiline option sufficiently.

How do you print from the text (multiline) option so that all of the text is included?

I'm trying the trial version of formscentral and have made a form. In this form I used the text (multiline) option. I saved the form as a pdf and filled it out to test it. When I go to print the form the only text that appears is what's visible on the screen. How do I print the form so that all of the information is depicted?

This is something we are working on fixing but in the mean time what you can do is one of two things :
1) make the multiline fields taller so that it would fit all the text in the responses.
      You can do that by going to the Desing Tab and dragging the bottom right corner of a multiline text fields to make them bigger.
2) print the Detail View instead.
      From the View Responses Tab go to View > Detail View.
      Select the response you want to print
      Press on the printer icon at the bottom of the Detail View.
      This will print the data in a name/value pair format.

Correlation for multiline in NW BPM

Hi Experts,
This is related to NW-BPM not CC BPM.
My flow is like :
BPM (Asynch req) --> ECC
ECC (asynch response) --> BPM
In ECC validation is done and response (Asynch) is sent back to BPM.
In BPM --> ECC flow:
Request has multiple Items under a single PO
PO
   --> Item1
   --> Item2
etc ...
and response also has the same structure.
PO
   --> Item1
   --> Item2
I am defining a correlation in such a way that
response PO = request PO
and
response Item = Request Item
But as I have multiple Items ,
Do we need to explicitly provide multiline check like we have the option in receiver determination ? if yes where we can provide in NW-BPM case.
If not , will the correlation also checks for multiple Items or simply the first item?
Regards,
SP

Hi SP,
If you want to check multiple line items with primary key as PO then write an EJB function in which you will pass the details and then use looping.

Cannot find the "Import Designs" option in BPM Studio/JDev 11.1.1.3

Dear All,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 and the corresponding BPM studio.
I cannot see the option to "Import Designs" as described here:
How to import XPDL

You first need to first download the Oracle Business Process Converter by going to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/downloads/downloads-097443.html
1. Sign in and accept the license agreement.
2. Expand "Prerequisites & Recommended Install Process"
3. Scroll down until you see "Oracle Business Process Converter" and download this.
4. From the downloaded file, save the tutor_bpm_integrator.zip file into a temporary directory somewhere on your hard drive.
Next you need to install it into your existing 11.1.1.5 JDeveloper installation
5. Open JDeveloper -> click Help -> click Check for Updates -> click the "Install From Local File" option and browse to the tutor_bpm_integrator.zip file you just saved -> click Next -> Finish.
Finally, to import the Visio vdx file
6. To insert the Visio vdx file into an Existing Project, in JDeveloper open an Application -> in the Appication Navigator tab right mouse click an existing project -> click Import Models... -> in the "File Type" dropdown, select Visio and browse for the .vdx file to open and import.
Hope this helps,

** Multiline checkbox in BPM - At what situcation we select this

Hi Friends,
Still I am not clear to check 'Mulltiline' in Container area of the BPM. At what situations, we select this ? In the loop, transformation, or ...?
Friends, could you kindly tell clearly this use in detail ? If possible, with example.
Thanking you,
Jeg P.

Hi,
A multiline container element is a table comprising elements of the same type. For example, if you want to gather messages in a container element, you must define this element as a multiline container element.
you can be able to Accessing details from multiline object attribute..
You need to mark the checkbox multiline if the sender data will be comming to container with multiple records and have to imply the logic or to consider each records in container, you need to mark it as Multiline.
Refer some of the links for useage of Multiline
Accessing details from multiline object attribute..
Workflow: check multiline container element for emptiness

BPM: ParForEach Multiline Issue

Hello,
In an integration process I use the following step sequence:
Transformation: Splitting Abstract Interface A to Multiple Abstract Interfaces A
Block (ParForEach): Loop over multiline container element ( referring to abstract interface a),
and send single message (singleline container element)
Basic behavior of the operations mapping is the following:
abstract interface a ( 1 occurence) -> abstract interface a (0..Unbounded occurences)
Source Message:
submission
item
item
item
Target Message:
submission
item
submission
item
submission
item
In this case I would like to loop over the submissions (using a ParForEach Block) and send three single messages with this structure:
<submission>
<item/>
</submission>
My problem now is the following: When I set the proporties of the ParForEach Block I select multiline
container element a - this is working fine - however when I want to select "current line" the dropdown
list of possible container elements is empty.
I have however set up two container elements (both are referring to abstract interface a), for one of them
the multiline option is activated.
Why does this not work as expected? Could it be a problem with the transformation step to create a
multiple messages?

Check if:
1) The single line element defined is having the block name under the Container column (and not process)
2) Check the First, Second, Third points mentioned in this blog...they should solve your problem:

BPM "Expression must return multiline value"

Hi
i was Creating a scenario file to file Message Split using BPM. in that i have done all the IR part and after that i created integration process.but when i m check this Integration process, i got an error like "Expression must return multiline value" it display into Receiver Determination.
Can somebody who help me...
regards
Bhaumik

check for the following:
1. in your messages tab in MM and IM you have changed the occurance for the multiple message.
2. Do a f7 on your BPM and confirm it is error free.
3. chk your transformation step have you given the correct container variable there ? (chk for the correct multiline or non-multiline interface)
4. recheck wherever the multiline container is used (in case of 1:N or N:1 u need to have the multiline option)
also has your process made an exit from the BPM ?

BPM and Multiline

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
ReceiveStep
receiving a file with a lot of lines
TransformationStep1
Here the file is transformed to 2 target messages DEBROW en DEBSEARCH. Every line in the file results in 1 DEBROW message and 1 DEBSEARCH message
Synchronous RFC call
To search some additional data for every DEBSEARCH message --> leads to a DEBRESULT message
TransformationStep2
Transforming the DEBRESULT and DEBROW message into DEBMAS
SendStep
Send IDOC to BusinessSystem
When the file contains 1 line everything works fine.
When the file contains 2 lines I still receive 1 IDOC.
Questions:
1. I think I have to use the multiline somewhere in BPM. Where? When I try to "activate" multiline I get the error "Expression must not return a multiline value" . Does it have by in sync with occurences in MessageMappings? What is the rule here?
2. How can I guarantee that the messages are in synch all the time? (correlation?)
Best Regards
Ron

hi,
two ways:)
first try to send all data to ECC for check (you can go for async with correlation - even
based on guid if you don't have anything else)
use ABAP proxies if possible (so you'll be able to
restart and monitor the flow in ECC too)
then use IDOC bundling to send all IDOCs at once as per my weblog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change
this way you will have to worry about 2 outbound messages (from XI)
and one inbound (from ECC to XI)

Interface Mappings in BPM Collect Pattern

Hello
I am new to XI development and currently facing problems while implementing collect pattern of BPM.
I am trying to map IDoc structure with target legacy format.In BPM I had a block with infinite loop where I am transforming IDocs to target legacy format.Then I am trying to transform list element (Multiline Abstract container variable) to form a single message.For this I tried to have interface map with Occurences 0..unbound..but while activation of Interface Map it gives error
<b> Mapping program Message does not match the interface mapping. The number or frequencies of source or target messages for the message mapping are not identical to the number or frequencies of source or target interfaces.</b>
If I use single line in Interface map then in BPM it gives error when passed Multiline element to this Interface map.
I checked the sample program provided by SAP but I found out that every message interface was using same Message Type which has got occurence as 1 but in the message mapping program its 0..unbound.
My question is can we have data type (or Message type )with Occurence as 1 and Message Mapping program using same message type with occurences 0..unbound..I tried to find such option but could'nt find that.Otherwise how to do Interface Map for transforming Multiline parameter of BPM to a single message.
Please help..Thanks in advance..

Problem in transformation BPM

We have the next escenary Idoc -> XI -> file. I received 3 Idoc and send 1 file with information of these Idoc.
For made this I realice one BPM. This BPM have the next step:
Into the loop
1.- I received the idoc
2.- Append idoc to table idoc.
3.- Add 1 to count
When I exit the loop I realice one step of transformation from table idoc to file but when i realice these step i have one message of error.
The message is "Expression must not return a multiline value".
I check the structure of file and is 0 unbounded.The structure of idoc is 1 .
thanks for your help.

HI,
Check the Multiline element for the Table Idoc container.
Btw, where exactly you are collecting the idoc ? Is it idoc container or in file container ? Anyway accoridng to this you need to choose the Abstract interface with multiline option.
And in the N:1 Mapping, SOurce Message type will be, 0...n and in the interface mapping also occurence you need to change..
After chnaging the BPM, check for syntax check, i.e F7 and check it.

Moorthy

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.

IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM---string index out of range

Hi
I am following this weblog
IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM
1.
In Step 4
Below mapping is for N:1 transformation. (Here input will be having three different types of Abstract IDOCs and target will be having Abstract Target File type)
(iv) MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM_to_NOM_ABS"
when I tried to 3 idoc as sender and My Message Type as the receiver
I am getting the following error message
String index out of range: 0
so how can I do this message Mapping
2.
and in Step 3.
I have just mapped
Source Idoc 1 with Source Idoc 1
Source Idoc 2 with Source Idoc 2
Source Idoc 3 with Source Idoc 3
is it right way ?
thanks

Manian,
Multiline option should be on for receiver message .
Mapping seems to be o.k.

Using BPM (Blocks) when Incoming message has multilple rows

Hi All,
I am using BPM in my scenario.I have a message with multiple rows coming.I want to check for a condition for each row of the incoming message.I am trying to use a block(Mode: For Each) and using a switch step inside this block.But in a block if u want to check for each line, we need to define a multiline container element as Source Interface message.Since I am already having multilple rows, I cannot give multiline option.Can someone give me some example scenarios where this type of scenarios are handled.
Thanks in Advance.
Soumya

Hi,
Here I am picking a file with multiple rows
The Sender Message Type structure is
<ns:File_MT xmlns:ns="http://File/send">
<recordset>
    <Slno />
    <Goods_Receipt_Date />
    <Material_Code />
    <Quantity />
    <Plant_Code />
    <Storage_loc />
    <Batch_Number />
    <PO_Number />
    <Item_Number />
    <Special_Stock_Indicator />
</recordset>
</ns:File_MT>
Here the row recordset has multiple occurences.
For my BPM I have defined an Abstract Message Interface of similar structure.
1)I am using a receive step to receive the message.
2)I am using a transformation step for structure change.
3)Then I have to check a condition whether each of the fields, ie material number,plant code etc are null or not.
I am using a switch for that.In the switch I have 2 branches-for error records and correct records.
Now in the eror record branch, I want to append error records to a container using a container operation and finally send it to another system.
Since my Source message is already having multilple rows.ie 0...unbounded for recorset, I can't define a multiline for container operation.The container operation expects a multiline container element when using append statement.
How should I go about this?Should I define a Loop after the transformation step?
Can you give me any example scenarios where transformation steps are used to change a source message with mutilple rows are used?I referred the FlightBooking Example, http://sap.com/xi/XI/Demo/Agency-SplitMultiplebookingOrder but in that they are not using the MessageTypes which are already defined, in the mapping.
Can anyone help?
Thanks and Regards,
Soumya.

Need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for Text fields.

Hello All,
I need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for all the Text fields in PDF Form.
Assume that I have a PDF form of Fields from F1 to F100 and it contains 25 Checkboxes, 25 Combo Box and 50 Text Fields. Now i need a javascript for which i need to enable Multiline for only Text Fields. So Is there any JS for which i can enable the Multiline option for only Text fields and not for ComboBox or Checkbox.

Throw Soap Exception in BPM.

Hi All,
My scenario is Soap->XI->BPM->RFC. I get a soap request in synchronous way with Request and Response messages I Map my request to a RFC and If there's any application error or mapping error I have to send SOAP fault exception to my Soap Sending system. But I don't see any option in BPM to throw soap exception only thing I can do is to map my errors in the soap response and send it to soap sender.
But my Soap sending system needs soap fault not a response message when any errors happen.
Please let me know if anybody has this same situation and how to handle it.
Thanks in Advance,
SP.

Hi VJ,
I have to use BPM as I am doing other stuff in my BPM. In my BPM I am catching mapping exception and then I have to send this to Soap Sender in SOAP fault message and in abstract interfaces we don't have option to give fault message types. Also, I am using S/A bridge and I have to close the brige in order to send some response to Soap Sender.
Is it possible to send soap fault when we close the S/A brige by send step.
Thanks,
SP.
