Reduce number retries for an automated activity on a fault-message

Hi everyone,
is it possible to reduce the number of retries if an automated activity gets a fault response? With correcting my logical destinations it was possible for me to achieve communication to a webservice outside the netweaver.
Now I tried the same with a selfmade deployed process and it "worked" - too good. When the automated activity tries to call the webservice, which is a synchromous bpm-process I created, it recieves a fault message. This fault.message is a "the process has been triggered" message that starts my next process. Now that the automated activity gets the "error" I wanted it retries 3 times to get a working connection with the service - so I get 3 new process instances. Is it possible to reduce the retry-counter and if yes, where can I do that? I already looked for this option in the service registry and in the logical destination settings. There isn't an option in the NWDS for the automated activity and i haven't found something in the help.sap.com,
And yes I know that this isn't usefull for an operativ system.
With kind regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
The number of retries is configured internally and cannot be modified on a per automated activity basis. To cover this use cases (BPM process A calling BPM Process B via WS), it is recommend to define the service interface of the process B as "one -way" (request without response) so that no SOAP fault it returned if case of successful start. In case an issue occurs during the start of process B, a SOAP fault will be returned.
Hope this helps,
David

BPM Automated Activity: Technical User vs Named User

Hi Folks,
I've implemented a number of working BPM prototypes and now our customers are so interested they want us to implement a number of productive solutions for different process scenarios. Technically we all know that for the automated activity we can either use a logical destination or a service group which in both cases will mean a number of alternatives for authentication to the backend to execute the service operation in the automated activity. In our scenarios so far we have tested both approaches i.e. Service Group and Logical destination using a technical user for both cases (For SG, technical user in the physical system assigned to the SG)
My question is are you using a technical user to authenticate to the backend in either case or are you forwarding credentials of a named user involved in the specific process instance to be authenticated to the backend and in case of the latter how do you achieve this (apart from ensuring this user also exists in the backend)? The dilemma is if (by SAP agreement) we can use a technical user then what (apart from our ethics) stops us from only getting BPM licences and using a technical user(s) for most of our data maintenance transactions and by extension what prevents the same approach being used via non-SAP BPM tools (such as AquaLogic). I know there may be different arrangements specific to an organisation's license agreement and relationship with SAP but what is the general approach out there
Thanks for sharing your feedabck

Consuming a CAF Web Service in an automated activity

Hi
I'm trying to import a WSDL that points to a custom service so it can be used within an automated activity within my BPM. I am importing the WSDL using the Remote Location option and am entering the WSDL. It then appears to import with no issues but has a warning about not being able to validate the WSDL. However, I can't then see the newly imported WSDL in the list of available interfaces for the automated activity. I've imported other WSDL's and I can see those. Can anyone provide any pointers?

Process Composer - Automated Activity - Output Mapping Error

Hi,
I am trying to consume the standard

When I try to do Output Mapping for the automated activity to Context, it throws an error:
Incompatible expression type.

Internal number assignment for object AUFTRAG

Hello,
Previously with SAP PM module we had configured the maintenance work order number range for internal assignment to a narrow range of numbers i.e. 12000000 to 12999999.
Following rolling out the functionality to other sites, we required to extend the internal number range (to accomodate the volume to be produced) and have updated this in configuration i.e. 300,000,000,000 to 399,999,999,999.
We are now experiencing an information message each time we Save a new maintenance work order;
Internal number assignment for object AUFTRAG (numbers are in critical area)
Message no. RU 153
When the user clicks Enter to continue a warning message is also displayed on the status bar;
Number XXXXXX for order type XXX within critical area
Message no. CO 395
However, we have investigated this and the work orders are creating normally after this. We have created in the system, the work orders with the prevous number range and also hunders of work orders with the new number range, we do not appear to be experiencing our buffer.
I have check the settings in SNRO config setting. The settings appear as standard with a warning buffer of 5% and the No. of numbers in buffer = 20.
Please can anyone advise how to remove this information message or how to update the system to resolve.
Regards,
Hayley

The message is given by the number range function, according to the configuration of field percentage. You have entered 5% - which means when you reach within 5% of the end of the numbers, you should get the warning. Your range is 300,000,000,000 to 399,999,999,999 My calculation that you should get the warning around 395,000,000,000
I suspect that the issue is linked to buffering of the numbers. Is it resolved??

SCSM Runbook Automation Activity - Number of Parameter Mappings

Dear Supporters,
Can you please help me with the following problem:
I am automating the creation of new users over the SCSM Self Service Portal with the help of an Orchestrator runbook. I am configuring the Runbook Automation Activity in Service Manager and I must map all the parameters defined in the Runbook, so that they
can appear later on the Portal.
My problem ist that Service Manager has a limited number of parameters, that I can map – 10 Text, 5 Long Text, 5 Integer and so on. When I am creating the user I want to be able to enter more parameters (for example more that 10 Text fields or more than
5 Integer fields) and so the default parameter mappings in SCSM are not suffcient.
Is there a possibility to have more parameter mappings for Runbook Automation Activities in SCSM? Is there another way to solve or to workaround this limitation?
Many help in advance for all of your efforts!
Regards,
Stoyan

It's a little hard without actually seeing an example, but I will try to mentally visualize your approach.
My first thought would be, go back to basics, and start simple. Create the Runbook with all the Parameters needed to accomplish the automation (i.e. create the user account). I'm not sure why you are using a PowerShell script to create a new user, when there
are Activities in the Active Directory Integration Pack which will accomplish the same thing (unless you're a big PowerShell fan, and will state that it's "more" efficient; but that's besides the point).
For some of the New User fields, is there an option to assume some of them (i.e. if you are only in Canada, then don't get the user to fill out Country, and just hard-code the value of "Canada"). That will save one field/prompt in the Portal, but
still ensure the value it set.
For the summary email to the Manager, what information are you trying to send? Account details? You can extract those from the AD Integration Pack "Get User" activity, and reference the various field properties. The Runbook can even send the email
itself (I've done this myself), with a templated email using Activity variables that produce dynamic values.
For the Runbook, if you have a variable in the Initiate Runbook list, then those fields must be mapped to something. From the Service Request side of things, you don't have to map everything into the Runbook.
For the Security Group, what is the criteria to determine which group the new user should be a member of? In the example that I did for a client, I used the Title and Department. I wrote a PowerShell script (used within the Runbook), and evaluated each of
those values. I used a Switch statement to make it easier to add more in the future. Based on these values, I assigned a value to a new variable (i.e. "SecurityGroup"), and used that variable in another Activity (i.e. Update User) to add them to
the AD Security Group.

Creation of service for Automated Activity

Hi All
I am new to BPM. I have done some process of human activity with help of some tutorials. It was working fine.
I am following this [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/501bd56f-a5a6-2b10-4fbf-a61a64055fe4] link.
I am struck in page No.16.
I created Web Dyn Pro Component and it is for Human activity.
Now I would like to create a service for automated activity from the scrach.
I don't know in which perspective it has to create. But It will be good if it is a CAF Application.
Can anyone suggest a link for step by step process to create a service for automated activity.

I use 2 to 3 computers for my photo retouching, can I get them activated with the same serial number? for Photoshop Elements 13, and premier elements 13

I use 2 to 3 computers for my photo retouching, can I get them activated with the same serial number? for Photoshop Elements 13, and premier elements 13

You can activate any two of them at a time, but if you want to use it on a third computer you will need to deactivate one of them before you can do so. To do that, go to Help>Sign Out.

Is the automated activation system down?

I call 1-800-331-0500...i say activation...it forwards me to the automated activation system...then I get a message saying "You've reached a number that is no longer in service, please call 1-800-331-0500." I call again and say technical support, but all I get is the GoPhone people who can't help!!!!!!! I'm ready to switch to T-Mobile!!!!

Hi there! @Fru5trated thanks for posting your concerns.
I’m sorry to hear you are having issues with the automated system. At this time we are not seeing an issue with this system. If you are still unable to get through, please visit us at att.com/activations and follow the steps to get your phone activated.
Hope this helps!

Error while invoking a automated activity

Hello,
I don't know whether this is the correct quesiton to this forum but since I am getting error in NW BPM process, I am writing it here.
I have created a process which is getting triggered by WS call. The first step after start is automated activity where a call to SAP is made via a sync proxy.
When I tried to execute the entire BPM process, I am getting the error in BPM Logs as
"A technical error during invocation: Could not invoke service reference name
eb7cf84e-f05c-41c4-940a-8f95113179f3, component name
example.org~<DC Name>~BPMcomponent"
Actually 2 things I did as a part of correction, the first is to set the communicaiton protocol is XI in the service reference of an outbound service interface that is used to call SAP system and change the interface pattern of its inbound interface to XI3.0 compatible. as suggested by Udo Martens in one of his blog. Also the inbound interface in the start step is of XI3.0 compatible.
I re-deployed the project which I verified by going through NWA logs and also checked the configuration as given in blog. I have collaboration agreement done in PI where Sender is SOAP communication channel with XI protocol and it is as per the sender defined into the service reference.
Sending a message from SAP NetWeaver BPM process to PI fails via automated activity - Technology Troubleshooting Guide -…
Also I read one thread where it was resolved by clearing JCO caches but it seems the call was RFC call unlike in my case it is proxy call.
"Could not invoke service reference" for automated activity (RFC call)
Any clue what could have went wrong. I could see a cache issue here. But how to clear BPM cache.I couldn't find such option on NWA.
Thanks in advance.

Am i the only one who when trying to enter the code for creative cloud activation ?

I give up,i have been trying to activate a 3 month subscription for CS6 from Staples and every time i try the code it will not work. I have used the chat live and spent about 3 hours already going nowhere. I do not like talking on the phone to some help desk overseas and the only thing i think left to do is to return the junk.

I tried all that and even took a picture of the numbers and blew them up so a blind person could read them and had 3 others read them off. A simple way to fix the problem is get someone on Adobes staff to find a font that most people can read from whatever product the stick it to.

Hey John,
Not sure if it helps or not, but I know sometimes with codes like that its really hard to tell certain characters apart, O - like in Oscar versus 0 - number and number 1 versus lowercase L like in Lima.
Might test entering it both ways if you have any suspect characters?

Same Number Range for OTHR and DLFC

Hi All,
I want to know whether we can mantain different number range for OTHR and DLFC transaction Type for same Series Group.
i.e for Returns Vendor Delivery Excise Invoice(MM side-OTHR) and Outgoing Excise Invoice(Sales Side-DLFC).
Pls guide me..
With Regards
Azeez.Mohd

even when you sell SFG / Trading goods -( HAWA / HALB) , then also you have to update RG1, though they are not FG materials.
Material type in terms of excise, but not in terms of SAP.
eg:
When customer returns the goods, you can process it in 2 ways-
either by creatign Excise JV - J1IH
or by following MM route, nothing but by creating Incoming excise Invoice wrt:inbound delivery-LR in Tcode:J1IEX-
where in excise tab, material type will be defaulted as "F-RG1", but it has to be changed to "Raw Material".
similarly, Vendor returns also treat as the same,
for your info, adjustment of excise duty for vendor returns will be routed through excise JV in J1IS & mov type:122 -ret to vendor is activated for RG1.

Consuming external webservice in an automated activity

hi,
i am consuming a bapi based webservice in an automated activity. i have checked this in wsnavigator using WSDL, it is working fine. when i consume this in my process dc , it asks me to create aService group. i have created one and now deployed dc to server. it doesn't work and in log error it shows that thsi service group is not assigned to any physical system.
now i tried to create a business scenario communication, for this i created provider systems (it was created and pinged sucessfully, showed all the web services lying in its service registry). when i was creating business scenario, under first step credentials of service group and provider systems are provided. unser second step when i tried to add the services it didn't showed the services which it showed me while i pinged.
please tell me how to sucessfully consume an external web service (bapi based).This is lying on SR but when i tried to access it through single service administration, it was not there. please guide me how can i sucessfully consume this webservice (using service group or logical destination).
Thanks In Advance.

Hi Rohit,
try with Application Communication Configuration instead of Business Scenario (should be easier for single service). Make sure you have entered the correct credentials for the backend system (both for metadata retrieval and for runtime invocation).
Instead of Service Registry you can also try with WSIL when creating the provider system. The WSIL URL for the ABAP system should look like this: http://host:port/sap/bc/srt/wsil.
Please also check the SOA config guide by Alexander Zubev:
