Regarding send step in bpm--"send context"

i want to use the send step in my bpm with send context.
The send context is a freely definable string, which you specify in the send step. You query the send context in a condition in the receiver determination in the Integration Directory. You must specify the send context to be able to send messages from the same message interfaces to different receivers in different send steps.
but i did n't understand regarding the explanation given above.
could u plz help me out

Hi
When you use Receiver determination step in BPM to get a list of receivers for a send step.
You need to define send context to send messages from the same interface to different receivers in different send steps. As list of receivers is collected using receiver determination.
Now you can use this to set condition(send context) based receiver in ID Receiver determination.
Thanks

Fault message in synchronous send step in BPM

Hi,
When executing a synchronous send step in BPM it is possible to handle application errors (fault messages) with an exception branch. But how do you get hold of the actual data in the Fault message(faultText, faultURL, faultDetail etc) for further processing (mapping)?
Kind regards Johan

Johan,
u have to define another container element in integration process.
For that container element an Async Abstract interface has to created with falult message as the message.
Do u have the fault message defined already...
Also go through this thread.

How to determine receivers in the send step in BPM?

Hi Guys,
I have 3 send steps in BPM defined with send context and for each send step i have defined a receiver determination in ID. Each Receiver Determination has a condition based on which identifies multiple receivers.
The BPM is failing and unable to determine the conditional routing. Do i need to add the receiver determination step before each send step so that it identifies the receivers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all of you for the quick replies and it is really a great help.
We have resolved the issue. The approach is as below.
we have a generic design used by multiple customers. For the interface where we have the BPM, we are doing conditional routing for each customer before they hit the BPM that is as soon as we receive the Asynchronus request based on the condition we direct the message to a particular BPM. Basically every customer will have different BPM process. ie we create the same BPM with different names specific to each customer and in this way we dont complicate the BPM process and we will know if any particular customer has problems with his process.
Please let me know comments or suggestions on the above approach
Thanks,
Raj

Transport Acknowledgement in an Ansynchronous Send Step in BPM

I tried this scenario /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/06/22/xi-playing-with-the-file-adapters-acknowledgments for a file acknowledgement in an ansynchronous send step in BPM and it worked fine.
This made me think of something else...
This SAP help site http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/65ce41ae343e2be10000000a1553f6/content.htm
says - for a "Permanent negative acknowledgment" the "Send step triggers system error for which you can define a specific exception handling."
I understood this as saying "If the tartget file is not placed, a system error is thrown for which we can write our own exception handling"
In the scenario explained in the blog the 'deadline branch' was made to wait for a few miutes and once exceeded, made to throw an exception "NegAck" which is handled in the "Exception handler branch"
So what i tried was, I removed the 'deadline branch' and retained only the 'exception handler branch' and made the 'send step' to throw a system error "NegAck" so that if the "Send Step" recieves a negative acknowledgement, it would throw this error "NegAck" which I have handled in the "Exception Handler Branch"
However, this did not work. Can anyone kindly explain where was my mistake?

Dear Bharath,
hmmm nice question...
The answer to this is....whenever you configure a async send step with "transport ack" it will never go into error..
the send step will either get a positive ack(if the file reaches correctly) or a negative ack(if there is some problem like password expires) but it will will never go into error and hence directly the control will never go to exception handler block...
consider the cases :
1. Async send step with transport ack and file reaches correctly : +ve ack is generated and BPM will stop
2. Async send step with transport ack and passowrd expires : the send step will not go in error but you will get error in adapter engine(RWB) so it will keep on restarting and corresponding negative ack will keep on getting generated but here also the send step has not gone to error but the message in AE has gone into error and hence control will not pass directly to exception handler block....what you can do is keep a timelimit thru deadline branch so that after that much time control goes to exception branch...
This should solve your problem...
do not forget to close the thread marking useful answers after your query is resolved

Sync Send step in BPM.

hi all,
My BPM flow starts with a single message that I split using a message map into a list of messages into a block which is foreach mode to be sent synchronously one by one splitted messages to an Oracle stored procedure via the JDBC adapter. After the mapping step, the flow goes into a ParForEach block that executes the sync Send step to the JDBC adapter, and then has a Container Action that collects the responses.
My problem is that BPM seems to not like executing a synchronous send from inside a block. The first execution of the send step will produce an error in the BPM flow.
thanks in advance.

My problem is that BPM seems to not like executing a synchronous send from inside a block.
BPM does support SYNCSend step inside a Block....but not for ForEach/ ParForEach mode of execution.
I think you are following this procedure from quite a long time.....sync send inside a foreach block.

How to read fields from response message in send step in BPM

Hi ,
I have one BPM scenario where I am using synchronous send step to insert data into database and to get response back from database as success or failure .My scenario involves inserting data into multiple tables and in multiple rows . If all the inserts are successful then I want to write success message else I want the messaage as error . So can we read all the SQL response and store it in container varibale and the have soem decision logic ?

Hi,
for everyinsertion, you will get a response
<INSERT_COUNT> </INSERT_COUNT>
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/96fd3f2d14e869e10000000a155106/content.htm
if the value ==1 , then insertions is sucessful, if value ==0, then insertion not succsful.
So, in your mapping, just check if any of the values is 0 and if yes, then decide if you have to write a sucess message or a failure message.

Send step in BPM is "logical deleted"

Hi everybody,
we are sending IDOCs from BPM to receiver determination (R/3 Backend).
The BPM protocol marks the send step as "logically deleted".
In SXMB_MONI strange!
Sender = Receiver = BPM
Any ideas?

The required number in the fork was wrong!

Controlling a send step in BPM

Hi I have a BPM like in which the last step will be
block starts( (syn)RFC -> container->) block ends ->transformation-> send and i need to send the message in the last send step..based upon on field in the RFC response, i used a switch step after the block and in the branch i hav transform and step and in the branch otherwise i have the control step, but it seems ,it is not checking the condition, it alwys goes to the send step.
and i am not able to see the switch step in the graphical work flow..any ideas?
thanks

Some basic checks that need to be done on the BPM:
1) return code should be 0 in SXI_CACHE
2) In SXI_CACHE there is an option to see the XML of your BPM.....this indicates what all steps are present in the BPM.....open this XML and check if each and every step is mentioned there.
3) Check if there is any errored instance of the BPM in tcode SWWL...if yes then delete this instance
4) I hope that your condition in Switch block is defined properly.
5) Delete all the objects from ID (related to this interface)....then reimport the BPM from IR and again create the objects....last option

How to handle error in Syncrounous Send step in BPM.

Hi All,
i am inserting the data into target database and getting the response from the target database in to XI(BPM) here i am sending the data as a bunch(packets), i mean i am splitting the recods into packets and inserting these packets into target database through Sync Send step... now my problem is how can i handle if any of the packet(one set of bunch recors) was fail, how can i handle this exception.
Thanks in advances for your suggesions and solutions which came by your huge experiences.
B'rgrds,
Srinivas

Since the requirement is to catch the Exception proceed as:
Include a Block in your BPM --> Include the Send Step -> Right-click on the Block and choose insert Exception Branch> In the Exception Branch inlcude the logic that you want to implement in case of error.
Possible Exception Handling logics:
1) Send email to support personnel notifying him of the error and let the remaining process continue
2) Send email to support personnel notifying him of the error and cancel the process
3) Cancel the process.
Make sure that you create a Exception Handler to be included in the Block and also in the System Error section of the Send Step.

Abhishek.

Error in send step in BPM

Hello,
I ehanced an existing BPM where a send step sends data to a J2EE system. I inserted a switch and put the existing send step to one branche and a new send step to the otherweise-branche. The new send step interrupt with an error:
<b>No exception defined for fault message hostname http://xml.apache.org/axis/</b>
But there is an exception branche defined. An idea what's the problem?
I didn't define a message called hostname, so where he got this name from?
thx

No, everything seems fine.
Here is the payload of response :

Sync send step in BPM fails and cant be resend XI

Hi Forum,
I have a file ->JDBC(Sync)->file scenario, with a BPM, having a synchronous send ........ sending and receiving message from a SQL Server,
the problem is ........... sometimes the synchronous send to the JDBC fails, bcoz of purely database connectivity issue, but then the whole scenario has to be rerun, coz sync send doesnt keep message persistent........ and we cant resend the failed Sync send step,
pls help .... its a production system

Hi sreeram,
i think the sync send doesnt make retries while sending message,
in this case it means data lost............means not persistent in the BPM
do u think my design is faulty,
is their any alternative

Receiver Determination with Synchrnous Send step in BPM

Is there any way to use BPM Receiver Determination step type with Synchronous send step ?
Is it possible to send a request to multiple receivers synchronously and capture the response?
Appreciate for your response.

Container operation step in BPM using context object

Hi all,
in my BPM I have a send step using the file adapter. The file adapter builds a dynamic filename.
Now I want to have the filename back into an acknowledgement. First, I need it in the container, right?
So after the send step, I have a container operation step as follows:
target: simple string
mode: assign or append, doesn't matter
expression: In expression editor, I select Interface variable 'message', then context object 'FileName' from namespace http://sap.com/xi/XISystem/File
This should be the filename from the fileadapter, right?
In SXI_Cache, I get return code 99:
The Value of Expression '&MESSAGE.FILENAME&' Cannot Serve As the Source of an Assignment
Why is there a context object, if you can' t use it??

As far as I know, the filename in the Dynamic Header will be lost in when the message enters the BPM.
As a work around, make a mapping at the Interface Determination level that reads the filename from the SOAP header and sets it into the payload which can be accessed inside the BPM.
Reason the way I see this that the BPM does not store the filename is ,
1. What if you have multiple receive steps in the BPM with a fork.
2. How would the context object know which filename you want to read?
The reason you see this in the context object is because all Context Objects are the info you get from the Adapter metadata.

Isuue regarding Fork step in bpm

Hi,
I am doing a scenario, collecting different idoc types into a flat file using BPM.
In the fork step while doing BPM , I am getting an error while adding more than two branches.
The error is "Maximum limited value is 2".
Please help me out.
Thanks.

Hi Sailatha,
A fork step is used for parallel processing of a(single) message in N number of branches. For example, if you design a fork with 4 branches, each branch receives a msg and then the steps in each branch is carried out.
Follow the below procedure:
The fork by default comes with two branches when you first place it into your process. You need to insert another branch before it allows you to increase the max and so on.
In ur case plz try to change the Default Value 2 which is in properties window to the no. of branches u desire.

Vinod.

** Use of 3 values in 'Receiver From' property of the BPM send step

Hi Friends,
Still I am not clear the exact use of 'Receiver From' property of the Send step in BPM. This property is having 3 possible values: 'Send Context', 'Receivers List', & 'Response to Message'.
What's the purpose of each value ? In what situations, which value we have to use.
Kindly clarify friends.
Kind Regards,
Jeg P.

Hi,
In Send step, The message receiver can be a business system or another integration process.
To handle Receiver Determination in BPM you need these options.
Send Context -
Send Context will be used by Receiver determination, if you will give it in Send step then accordingly receveir deteermination will process. Here the Message will go to fixed receiver
Response to message -- While dealing with Sync/async bridge you can use this option to give the Switch or Transformation step to for further response.
Receivers List -- For Runtime Receiver Determination you have to go for Receiver Lists. It will relied on the
design of the Integration process.
For e.g you can refer to the Conditional Receiever Determination.
