Restart of incorrect business-processes

Hi,
I have the following situation:
An Order-IDOC (ORDER02) comes from our SAP-System. This Order runs into a business-process. I this process the first step is to split the 1 order with x Positions into x Orders with one position. Then the business-process runs into a block-step with dynamic sequenc, where for each of the x orders the same steps are run through. In this block, e.g. a jdbc-request to a thirs party system is made. All works fine. But now comes my problem: If this jdbc-request gets an error (if the system is not reachable), how can I restart only this erroreous part of the process ??? - It is not so easy to restart the wohle process, because the correct parts of the order are yet booked in the target system. It would be great if I could countinue on the point where the error occured.
Thanks a lot !!! - werner

Hi Werner,
The following transactions can help you,
SMQR or SMQ2 can be used to reset the status of queues.
SM58 can be used to resend the messages.
Hope it helps,

  • Business Process Monitoring - Application Monitoring help.

    Hi all,
    Through Business Process Monitoring, I am trying to configure monitoring on table NAST, so that an alert will be generated for Billing documents print outputs (application=V3, transm. medium=1) on specific message types, if the processing status is equal to either 0 (not processed) or 2 (incorrectly processed).
    I have configured this through application monitoring, using the 'Messages (Output Determination)' monitoring object. Under this,  was able to configure the 2 key figures of "unprocessed messages" and "incorrectly processed messages" with the parameters mentioned above (application and message type).
    I set the yellow alert threshold to 1, and the red alert threshold to 2, as I want to be notified each time a print output goes into status 0 or 2, and that a red alert be generated in the case where 2 or more print outputs are not successful.
    However, upon activation of this monitoring, I came across the following issue: The table NAST already has over 40 historic entries of unprocessed and incorrectly processed messages for these message types. The monitoring is picking up all these entries right away, and therefore a red alert is being generated.
    There does not appear to be a way to configure the monitoring to only look for new entries in the table matching the criteria, e.g. look for billing docs with status = incorrectly processed during the last 24 hours. It seems that unless the existing entries in the table NAST are either deleted or have their status changed to "processed", the monitoring will always pick up these entries and report a red alert, even if no new entries are discovered.
    Does anyone know how a way of configuring a date range with this type of monitoring, or do I have to modify the existing entries in the table (either delete them, change their status or set the "disregard" indicator on the messages in the table) before this monitoring will work as I hoped it would?
    Secondly - a more general point - although there are lots of good documents on configuring Business Process Monitoring, I have not yet found one which gives full details on all the different types of application monitoring available, and how each of them can be configured. I know that within Application Monitoring, when you choose a monitoring type, the grey box at the top half of the screen gives some good information on what the monitoring does and how to configure it, but a document which captures all these monitoring types in one place would be very useful - if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance for any help with the first issue above,
    Regards,
    John

    Hi John,
    you get an overview about all available key figures in the PPT "Business Process & Interface Monitoring - Part 2" under https://service.sap.com/bpm --> Media Library --> Customer Information. It lists all Monitoring Object and Key Figures with Select-Options. There is no document that describes the setup of every key figure as the setup is too similar for most objects. Therefore the grey text boxes within the tool.
    The NAST collector will always pick-up everything older than x days. So you would have to process or delete the olde entries. But it is a good advise that for this rather technical key figure we should think about a delta mechanism like with our IDOC or ABAP dump monitor.
    Best Regards

  • Help with Business Process

    I am a newbie to XI world and am trying to implement the following.  Create a scenario where a HTTP client calls a BAPI (creating a PO) synchronously, wish it would have been the end :).  There 3 steps in PO creation, one is to create from one company code to another and create the same quantity and material to a vendor and acknowledge to the web client about the PO creation status.  
    Since the above is a sequence and a process, I am assuming I have to use BPM capability of XI.  If answer is yes, then any business process has to be implemented through BPM, am I right in concluding this?
    Am more looking at direction than any particular answers, if anyone can guide me I will find my way out.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
    Sunil Achyut

    Thanks for your quick reply.  But if I wrap all my logic in BAPI then there it would become a real big one and moreover there is a sequence in my process:
    1) Create a PO from company code A to company code B
    2) Create a PO from company code B to vendor
    3) On the return an shipping notice would trigger creating a delivery and doing a goods receipt and goods issue for the two PO's created.
    Since the above is a business process I was thinking it would be better if I use BPM instead of using a single BAPI for everything.  Am I incorrect in my thinking?

  • Timed out waiting for Business process

    Hi,
    I created a web application using evision in JCAPS 512. It works properly. But some times i am getting an error message as
    "Timed out waiting for business process" when i try to access the web page usign url.
    But if i invoke page again then application works properly.
    I have increased server response timeout value also. But couldn't get
    the reason when it will occur.
    Please let me know what is the reason for this problem. If this error occurs please let me know is it possible to show some other page instead of displaying error to user.
    Regards
    Venkatesh.S

    Good day.
    I have a similar problem and I have managed to pinpoint when it fails but unfortunately I don't know how to fix it yet.
    In my scenario, I have 2 separate processes:
    the first process reads data from a Seebeyond SRE instance and stores it on a local Java CAPS queue.
    The second process is an EVision process that reads the data from this queue and displays it on a page.
    Whenever I am not connected to the network linking my Java CAPS instance to the Seebeyond SRE instance (first process cannot connect ) I get this problem on the EVision side every second time I request a page. This means I can view the first message on the queue and then I have to restart the Logical Host
    This doesn't make sense to me, since The EVision process is a completely separate process, deployed in it's own WAR file.

  • How to create BPEL Guided Business Process

    I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 with the updates for BPM Studio.
    I created an application with a SOA project with a SOA BPEL Process. When I opened the BPEL process, I can't find the "Activity Guide Properties" icon to open the "Edit Activity Guide" window to setup the "Activity Guide" as per the documentation:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15176/soa_activity_guides.htm#insertedID7
    I looked through everywhere on the BPEL process screen and the menus but had no luck to find a way to open the "Edit Activity Guide" window.
    Anyone knows how to open the "Edit Activity Guide" window within the BPEL process ?

    I believe the documentation for createing a BPEL Guide Business Process may be incorrect
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15176/soa_activity_guides.htm#CJAHCECC
    Incorrect #1: there is no "Activity Guide Properties" icon anywhere when the BPEL process is opened.
    (I am able to open the "Edit Activity Guide" window by clicking the "Activity Guide" node under the "BPM Project Navigator")
    Incorrect #2: There is no "Expose as Activity Guide" check box in the "Edit Activity Guide" window
    My hypothesis on setting up a Guided BPEL process is to set the set the BPEL process as the root process in the "Edit Activity Guide" window.
    This is based on how a Guided BPMN process is setup.
    However, the drop down listbox for the "Root Process" is empty even there is a BPEL process created in the project.
    As a result, I can't set the BPEL process to be the root process of the "Activity Guide".
    I am pretty sure there is no way you can create a Guided BPEL Business Process following the instructions in the above documentation link.
    Hopefully, I'll hear from some BPM guru from Oracle who can point out how to create a Guided BPEL Business Process using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 with plug-ins for BPM Studio.

  • Problems to define Business Processes

    Hello,
    when trying to define a Business Process and I select the BizPackage and the relevant sender and receiver systems and then click "next", nothing happens and in the browser window, the message "Error on page" appears.
    It does not matter, which BizPackage or which systems are related.
    Installing the msxml6_SDK.msi and restarting IE (7) did not help.
    Does anybody know how this can be solved?

  • Electronic Bank Statement Determining Incorrect Business Partners

    Have an issue with some electronic bank statements we import into SAP. Several of the line items we get from the bank identify the incorrect business partner when creating the payment advice. We are using intepretation algorirthm 001 to interpret the Note to Payee field in the statment.
    We do have 5 search strings in place which do successfully replace the text in the Note to Payee and replace with the vendor #. These work just fine.
    What is weird to me is that when I repeat the issue in another environment and simulate using FEBSTS, it is finding "document numbers" that are text strings and somehow determining the vendor from that. I cannot figure out what logic it is using to do this and why it thinks that when it sees ABCDEGF in the Note to Payee it should be for vendor 1234555, for example.
    These are files from Citibank and the Note to Payee field is in German if that make any difference. The easy solution is to setup search strings that correspond to the text found in there like we do for the other 5 instances which would solve it but we probably won't catch all instances upfront and this issue will still be present;
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  • How do I use SE80 to view details of a Front Office Business Process?

    Hello all,
    I posted the following question in the ABAP general forum but did no reply was posted. So, I am hoping that experts in this forum may be able to help me with an answer.
    I would like to use SE80 (or any other transaction for that matter (except EWBC)) to get details of a Front Office Business Process. By details I mean information about methods, programs and anything else that can help me debug a problem I am having with transaction EC20. I have used transaction EWBC but I cannot get details about programs behind a given step. I get a list of steps and container info. Double clicking on the actual thing does not get me anything, and SE80 does not seem to be able to give me the needed information either, or at least I don't know how to go about it. So, which category, which sub-category or which button will do the job please?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    First of all go to transaction EWFC and enter the right Front Office configuration.Go to the appropriate transaction group containing the button you want to investigate.  Double click it and a new screen will pop up.  On this screen there should be a radio button 'Method'.  Next to this button you'll find a field with the object type.  Copy this type ( eg. PREMISES) to your clipboard and open another modus.
    Go to transaction SE80. In the left upper corner, a little under the text 'Object Navigator' there's a button 'Edit object'.  Click this one.  Go to the tab 'Business engineering' and select radio button 'Business object type'.  Fill in the object type from the previous step and you'll find the interfaces, key fields, methods, events etc.
    To customize this object you have to create a z-object derived from the main object.  You can add methods, events etc. as you like!
    Kind regards,
    Stijn

  • Business Process: Final Demand Plan Key Figure in the past for APO DP

    Hello APO process experts,
    I have a BPX question for APO DP process owners, consultants or gurus:
    1.- Have you ever seen in any SAP APO customer, that in their APO DP planning books, they chose or designed to update the Final Demand Plan key Figure in the past closed historical buckets with the Actual Sales?
    Meaning that that in the Past closed historical Buckets, Actual Sales and Final Demand Plan, look exactily the same.
    Meaning that they create a dynamic Final Demand Plan key figure so to speak, yet they did not choose to create a key figure that also keeps the Final Demand Plan as originally entered.
    2.- Would you think that doing the above, without keeping any keyfigure in the planning book that actually shows what the Final Demand Plan was in the Past, is a good practice?
         The Demand Planner could still retreive the Final Demand Plan from BI reports, yet, dynamically they could never really see it in the planning book.
    3.- Do you think the above dynamic key figure would bias the Demand Planner's behaviour to manipulate the future open Final Demand Plan buckets to enter volumes in order sum to a monthly total, independently of what were the over and underachievements in the past (since they are not really visible to him) ?
    I would really like your feedback,
    thanks in advance!
    JD Loera

    Hello Thanks for your feedback.
    I agree with your point, and I hope that i still get more feedback from other Business Process Experts.
    I am trying to build a case for my client, to challenge the decision of their initial design as this practice is going to hurt the Demand Management process, if what they intend to achieve is a true "unconstrained demand plan"
    Much appreciated

  • Need to restart the explorer.exe process virtually every single time I need to access a file

    As the subject/title says.
    This is on my replacement ThinkPad W530 which replaced my previous T530. I had my T530 from about April until earlier this week when it was picked up. The T530 gave me nothing but problems, including, but not limited to:
    Constant stalling of everything on the laptop with no mouse movement
    An out of the blue nonfunctioning microphone mute button and fingerprint reader a few weeks after I had the T530's motherboard replaced (because of the stalling issue)
    Every hour or so, I would get successive blackouts of the screen that were about 3-5 seconds apart. Sometimes they would reset the maximisation of the windows I had open
    But I digress; those were issues with my previous ThinkPad. Now the major standout issue I have with my W530 is that pretty much any time I want to access a file, I have to close and restart the explorer.exe process. This results from:
    Not being able to access folders or folder shortcuts on my desktop
    Not being able to use anything on my taskbar including the start menu. This includes hitting the windows key
    NOTE: this is an issue with WINDOWS explorer and NOT INTERNET explorer, which one member of your support team was not able to distinguish - this person tried to direct me to WiFi troubleshooting.
    The only way I have been able to remedy this has been to use task manager to reset it.
    In addition, you would expect a W530 with an i7-3740QM and an Nvidia K2000M Quadro to be pretty much buttery smooth, especially considering it's about 2 weeks old, right? Far from it. This is the slowest excuse for a new laptop that is this well spec'd I have ever used.
    I have done factory resets and pretty much everything under the sun within the realms of the Lenovo periperhal programs to try to remedy it (so as to not void my warranty) to no avail.
    If this problem cannot be fixed without me going well out of my way, then I am demanding a refund. Your support team, whilst generally helpful and *usually* knowing what they are talking about, have not been a help, and have honestly just been another hurdle to get past so I can get my money back. I do applaud them for the willingness to sit and walk people through everything.
    If this is the price I pay for the reliability of a Lenovo ThinkPad, then I greatly look forward to the glorious day I can be rid of Lenovo from my life and making about $500 while I go buy an equivalently or better spec'd laptop from quite literally any other computer company on the planet.

    What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

  • Effective Language for Business Process Modelling in a Web Community

    It's a very exciting idea of having business process definition/innovation a community driven process.
    Just Imagine a stituation where somebody can innovate a process on a theoritical level which is then perfected by   business community opinion/examples for benchmarking, effectiveness, relevance etc.
    The ultimate business community dream would be Finding their process in the community. Finding merits and demerits of their process. Explore for a refinement to the process. Getting a copy of their newly created process and
    droping it into their IT system and the wonderful IT system upgrading itself to the new process and executing it.
    The Impact of simplification would be enormous:
    Just check out the possibilities
    Every businessman would be an IT user to get ideas for business and business execution
    The IT Guy would be recognized as process maker
    For a business entity Presentation during AGM could be extra transparent :-).
    A very concrete step in this direction would be to have a language or tool which is very easy to understand and drives people for exploration.
    My Wish would be a Visual web tool which defines a specific business process in the most simple form, and from there somebody can explore the enhancements to the process.
    For example a simple selling process done in medicine shop is
    listening the order verbally , delivering it immediately, getting cash immediately and [typing the Invoice on XL or Word or POS machines], printing it and then giving to Customer.
    after selecting this business process on the tool one should be able to explore the possible process
    enhancements with known business benefits
    like
    a) offer credit facility to customer--> just a worklist to collect pending money
    b) take order now and supply later for non available medicines
    c)Start home delivery
    The businessman should be able to select (1) or (2) which then becomes his new process.
    This can be sent to his IT landscape which should be able to interprete it and then grow itself Ah.... 
    dreaming
    [or atleast the model should tell the IT guy what to do!!].
    The generic business Process enhancements Options are not too many and can be defined and classified
    See the Options in the above mentioned business process context
    1)Automation[Create Purchase order from ]
    2)Increasing depth [The above example a,b,c are for increasing depth]
    3)Step simplification[In the above example instead of word using the POS Machine is simple]
    4)Resource utilization[If you have a PC and don't want to buy POS Machine then type the invoice on a Word :-)]
    5)Delegation
    5)Workforce optimization {any examples :-)community driven}
    7)Process optimization (How to deliver the medicine route wise)
    8)Colloboration (Using courier to send medicine)
    9)Knowledge provision (giving sales/payment trends,)
    The idea is so simple but making this tool highiely context(business) sensitive and intuitive is challenge.
    But anyway it's not impossible to have a business process language which is effective and an IT systems for which starting point is a business process. The IT system which takes your business process and executes them
    wonderfully.
    looking forward for this future

    Hi Dilip,
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    I'm also interested to know from community what are different tools used by them for process modelling?
    What are their merits?
    1)are they easily understandabale
    2) do they come with business context
    3)whether they can be used in a web comunity? Like somebody can give feedback or business case for a particular business process/step.
    4)Does it drive the IT automation
    5)Are there any appservers which take business model and generate/grow applications
    6)How the different modelling applications should communicate?
    7)Common standards
    For example
    I have used rational rose and RAD like VB they are complicated/simple enough to generate model based applications but the business representation and business context is totally missing. I would seek something with more business context or knowledgebase.
