SC-Multiline container

Hi,
have an SC for approval.
In one of the Std.Task 10008126, there is a multiline container &REQREQ.MATERIALGROUPLIST& which displays the material group. Also I am displaying a Total value, so the content is something like this:
Total value is 100 and material groups are 001, 002, 003.
Now issue is if I get a data in the multiline contaier say 001, 001, 002.
I want it to display as follows:
Total value is 100 and material groups are 001, 002.
I do not want it to display as:
Total value is 100 and material groups are 001, 001, 002.
Now here 001 is not a duplicate entry, but I do not want it to display twice.
Since this task being a standard, I do not want to customize this task either. Is there a way I could handle this.
Can I remove the 001 using statements in task description editor for task 10008126.

Receiver determination step in the BPM and multiline container

i have made a file2file scenario where:
there is a BPM,
the BPM has a send step which contains a receive step,
a transformation that mapps the incomin message to two messages(Split-messgae case),
and then a FORK step which sends the two messges to through 2 SEND steps to the intended receiver services.
It didnt work......and i followed a blog-> /people/sudharshan.aravamudan/blog/2005/12/01/illustration-of-multi-mapping-and-message-split-using-bpm-in-sap-exchange-infrastructure ............... which suggested to have a
"receiver-determination" step in the BPM before the SEND step.... it says that this
"receiver-determination" step will put the message in a MULTILINE container..
i m confused bout this step ........ can anybody explain.....
please help

HI,
In receiver determination step selctthe multi line container element.in container editor create the one element with type as receiver and select the check box.
A Receiver Determination step returns set of receivers configured for the output abs interfaces in the directory and puts it into receiver which is a multiline container receiver element

Multiline container in workflow ?

How Can I display multiline container element in the Send Email Task in workflow.
I have one activity called Create PO in forground. I have to send the PO number and materials number to the responsible agent(I have agents) by Email.
can I do it in workflow. please let me know.

Hi Amar,
We don't have any direct way to refer multiline container in send mail. You can achieve this indirectly. You create a big string in workflow container. Then create a custom object from SW01. Create a method in this object. This method should take the multiline element as the input and concatenates the lines and returns the big string. Now the object is created, create a new task before send mail stpe. This task will be calling the custom object method which takes the multiline element and returns the string. Then use this string in the mail. Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to test the rule if multiline container is passing to the task?

Hi Experts,
                  I am working on leave workflow. I have to get the approvers based on no of days of leave and leave type. I am getting these details in ITEMS_TAB internal table. I am passing this table to a rule. Now my problem is when I tried to simulate the rule I am not getting any input screen to enter the data.
ITEMS_TAB is an internal table type of   "PTREQ_ITEMS_WF_TAB_FLAT".
In the rule I have created a container by selecting the radiobutton "ABAP Dict. Data Type" and entered the above reference parameter is it right way?
Is it possible to test the rule independently if I use multiline container as import parameter in my rule? If so can anybody please tell me how to test the rule?
Thank You.
Srija.

Hi Pavan,
                 Thank you.
                 To copy the values I am not getting any input screen to input the values. I observed one thing that the type that I am referring in the Rule is a deep structure. Is this is the reason that I am not getting the input screen to enter the values?
I tested by creating aother rule by taking a field for that rule I am getting the input screen to simulate the Rule.
Can you please suggest if the rule will not work then what I have to do? without the rule how can I get the agents?
Thank you.
Srija

Receiver Determination step will return all receivers that are configured in Integration Directory, for that particular message interface, having the BPM as the sender service.
So, more than one receiver may return. Hence you need to define the receiver container as a multiline container.
Here you go with explanations- for Receiver Determinations in BPM-

Problem using multiline container in Alert Category

Hello, experts!
Could you please suggest me how to solve the following issue.
I have userdefined multiline container MY_CONTAINER with two elements FIELD (stores name of field) and VALUE (stores value of field). This container is filled in runtime by means of BADI extension. So in transaction ALRTDISP filled container looks like:
MY_CONTAINER
 MY_CONTAINER[1]
 FIELD SystemCode
 VALUE 42
 MY_CONTAINER[2]
 FIELD Key
 VALUE 0292383728232
 MY_CONTAINER[3]
 FIELD State
 VALUE 1
 ...and so on. Number of filled elements of container is unknown.
I need to add the contents of this container to Long text of Alert Category in form of:
 SystemCode: 42
 Key: 0292383728232
 State: 1
...and so on.
I added MY_CONTAINER on the Containers tab of my alert category. And in Long text included the following expression:
 &MY_CONTAINER[].FIELD[]&: &MY_CONTAINER[].VALUE[]&.
But in long text it looks like:
 SystemCode Key State ...: 42 0292383728232 1 ...
If the expression is like
 &MY_CONTAINER[].FIELD& - &MY_CONTAINER[].VALUE&
then long text contains only the first element:
 SystemCode: 42.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
I think I need to use expressions (something like FOR-loop) for filling Long Text in Alert Categories. Is it possible?
BR,
Vika

Hi Experts,
still trying to work out but couldn't understand the behaviour.
If the Long text :
Error: &SXMS_ERROR_CODE& of category &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message &SXMS_MSG_GUID& from the service &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE& and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
to test I am running the program RSALERTTEST
Msg got thru E-mail is 
Error: and category: &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message from the service and Interface

And when I change the Long text
Error: &SXMS_ERROR_CODE& and &SXMS_ERROR_CAT& was found in a message &SXMS_MSG_GUID& from the service &SXMS_FROM_SERVICE& and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
After running the program RSALERTTEST

E-mail msg
Error: and was found in a message from the service and Interface &SXMS_FROM_INTERFACE&
coudn't able to understand why it is displaying the container variable as is in the mail.
checked all the Alert Framework configuration, Everything looks good.
Thank you,
MK

Send multiline container into receiver (SP14)

I need to validate each object in xml
I created BPM, 1:N mapping, 1:1mapping for validation and value mapping.
Then I need to insert data into DB (JDBC Receiver).
I want to improve performance and to insert all validated data in one transaction as bath operation. For this purpose I think to add multiline container and container step ant collect all validated data.
The question is: Is it possible to send multiline data from BPM into receiver system? I heared that it is posible in SP14. Do I need additional configuration? Will this solution work?

Hi Inigo,
you need first a tranformation step where you have a source message with n lines and n target messages with one line (multi line container).
Next you can define a loop block for all entries of that container.

Urgent - How to pass value to Multiline container element in workflow

Hi,
I hav a requirement as below...
1) In a Bus. Object, there is a method with a parameter which is Multiline.
2) When I execute it directly from Bus. Object, I am able to populate any no. of lines to the multiline parameter & execute it. It is working correctly.
3) Now I have created a task for the same Method & used it in my workflow.
4) I want to pass multiline values to the parameter from workflow.
5) I dont have any internal table being filled in the previous steps. I directly want to assign variables or constants to it.
How can I do it????
Thanks,
Sivagami

hi sivagami,
Please help me. I am also facing same type of problem. i am new to workflow. i am using using FM sap_wapi_write_container. to write into the container. but here my problem is i don know wat is the element name to refer to the value. if i give any element naem its taking as separate element & not as the same multiline container. i hope u will be able to assist me since u have worked on the same type of problem.
If u help i will be highly thankful to u.

Using Multiline Container element in sending mail

Hi,
I am sending mail with Multiline Container element APTEXT.
I put &APTEXT##& Is this right ?
But when I have 2 lines of data, its sending mail with only one line.
Thanks

It is my personal observation that if the line size is more than 132 charecters then it will display like that.
So do like this
1. First make the row size as 125.
2. and when you are selecting the multiline container element in the mail content, then it will ask you 3 options selct the option Print line by line then check the mail.
It worked in my case.

Use Multiline Container Element in User Decision

Hi Gurus,
I have a Multiline Container in my User Decision Task. I am able to pull the data in a Standard Text to the Multi Line Container Element if type RSTXT-TXLINE. But how do I display the total data in all the lines in that element to the User Decision Workitem Text.
Thanx & regards,
Kan

You cannot insert all the table entries in the Decision step workitem Text. it wont allow you to display, one of the possible ways to fix it is please check this [blog|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417500)ID1574174750DB11406479040085832269End?blog=/pub/wlg/15666]

Multiline container element in workflow

Dear all,
I am using a multiline container element in workflow container. Can anybody suggest how I can see the values of that element? After workflow execution is COMPLETED and I go to SWI1, it shows only simple elements. It doesn't show any of my multiline elements.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pranav.

Hi Pranav,
It does work in 6.20. I am not sure about 4.6C.
Display Technical Details from the Workflow log for your WF instance. You can examine the Container values for each of the steps. See if the values show up (are you certain your multiline container has been populated?). If you are populating the multiline container from an object method, verify by testing your object method that the parameter are correctly defined and it is getting populated.

Output of multiline container element in email not working

I'm trying to display a multiline container element in an e-mail from workflow. The element container contains 2 lines. I can see these have been populated in the log in SWIA. However, when using &ITAB##& to output these lines nothing is diplayed. I've also tried &ITAB[]& and &ITAB& all of which return no lines in the e-mail.
Does anyone know if this is something I'm doing wrong or is there an error in R/3. I'm on release 4.6c.
Thanks
Karen

This is getting annoying. This was sednging e-mails and printing the table in the e-mail fine. Then I had to add more fields to the table ITAB. After this the table wasn't showing again in the e-mail. I recreated the workflow, tasks and even the BOM, but still nothing.
As before I can see the ITAB entries in the details of the e-mail task. But, they don't get written into the e-mail even though I'm selecting &ITAB##& from the Expressions section to put into the e-mail.
Is there anything I haven't tried. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is this a SAP problem that can be fixed with a note. I've had a look, but can't find anything about it.
Thanks
Karen

Multiline container mapping

Hi,
There are many invoices present in the incoming message.
I have to make a single Bapi call for each invoice.
For this purpose in the BPM I need to map the message to a multiline container, so that in the next block I can loop each line of this multiline container to the required Bapi.
Now, I have this problem in the mapping of the received message into a multiline container. The transformation step in BPM is not giving any result in the output.
For your reference, I am giving belwo the input and result of the mapping (into a multiline container below) I need
1. Input:
 <ns1:MT_scan_invoice xmlns:ns1="urn:customers:invoice">
 <Invoice>
 </Invoice>
 <Invoice>
 </Invoice>
 </ns1:MT_scan_invoice>
2. Result needed:
 <ns1:MT_scan_invoice xmlns:ns1="urn:customers:invoice">
 <Invoice>
 </Invoice>
 </ns1:MT_scan_invoice>
 <ns1:MT_scan_invoice xmlns:ns1="urn:customers:invoice">
 <Invoice>
 </Invoice>
 </ns1:MT_scan_invoice>
I have done mapping where, I have mapped the "Invoice" node (which is unbounded) to the target node of "MT_scan_invoice ".
In the 'Messages' tab of message mapping and in the 'Design' tab of interface mapping, I have changed the occurrence of the target message to '0..unbounded'. Also in the BPM the target container is multiline.
The interface and message mapping in stand-alone mode is giving successful outputs. (as desired)
Still the transformation step in Runtime is giving an empty output. Did I miss something in the mapping?
Kindly help. For the last 2 weeks, I am stuck with this issue.
Also kindly suggest alternate methods to generate a multiline container.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
In this case, you are splitting your single message based on some condition to multiple messages but with the same structure as that of source.
Can you pls specify what is that condition?
There is a possibility that mapping is wrong somewhere here.
Also, befor this mapping there are two nodes at target side, 'Messages' and 'Message1'.
Map these nodes with some constant even thought their occurence is 1..1.

Supriya.

Not able to give multiline container variable in transformation step.

Hello,
I'm doing a simple collect pattern in BPM.
I have three container variables, one- the source interface, second the multiline of source interface and third-the target interface.
Now, i have block in which i have the exception and deadline steps and then a loop in which i have my receiver which collects the message and gives it to the container to keep it to the list. Outside the block i have my transformation step which takes the relevant interface mapping. When i try to give the multiline container variable the box turns red, but of give the normal source container variable it accepts it.
If i do a check by F7, Expression must not return a multiline value.
The scope of the container variables is maintained as Process.
What could be wrong, please help.
Thanks and regards,
Akhil

hi akhil,
think in transformation it sees source messages and target messages.
if u have n:1 scenario then n interfaces to one interface right
thats is each interface will have one message type
so if u are using interace mapping in transformation it is expecting n interface variables to one interface variable.
it will display n source messages to one source message jsut check.
so transformation step is expecting one n sub message types to be embedded in one message type
<messages>
<message 1>
<meessage n>
</messages>
this one is mapped with one XML target messgae
so if u have n different messages see that u compress them in to one message type like the above and give it in trasnformation step.
if you have n different messages then u can alwasy go for n different interfaces to one single interface
then u can see in tranformation step n diff source messages and one target message
was just confused with reciever step which allows multiline receivers
Thanks & Regards,
Rama Krishna

How to send message from multiline container to same webservice or bus. sys

Hi All,
I want to send message from multiline container to a syn web service sequentially.
I am getting that multiline container after a transformations step (1: n mapping).
where i dont known what will be the value for n (number of message in multiline container). This will vary; depend upon input message to BPM.
Scenario is like this.
1. Receive step
2. Transfromation to 1: n
3. Want to send message from multiline container to a web service (business service),default loop and block step doesnt give desirable result.
any help will be appreciable
Regards,
Adish

Adish Jain wrote:>
> where as, if I will use block, it will send the same message to multiple receivers which are present in multiline receiver container. So need to think in different manner.
Not necessarily.
When you use block step in ForEach mode, you can select the container variable from:
- a receiver container;
- an interface container;
The line element can then be either a receiver or an interface.
The problem is that for this to work, the interfaces need to be async (since they are to be used as containers) and hence you won't be able to make your scenario work.
But again, explain why your scenario with loop step didn't work.
The only gap here is how to determine the number of loops (defining the counter variable value). But that can be easily solved if you include a new message with occurrence 1 as a target message of your mapping and as a container in your bpm.
This new message needs only 1 single field, that should be filled with the number of messages you've created in the mapping (you could use count standard function, f.ex.).
In your bpm, make sure to pass this fields value into the counter container right after your transformation step.

Henrique.

Error in Workflow Multiline Container

I'm facing with two error during implementing multiline container: "Agent determination for step '0000000002' failed" and "Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task".
What I've done is:
- "AGENTS" container created which refer to USR02-BNAME. In the properties tab, I checked the multiline check box. The contents of this container is coming from method in the main workflow. In the workflow log, I saw this container filled correctly. Its contain 2 line of user id.
- I have subworkflow-2 that I set as multiline element in tab "other" and filled "AGENTS" container in that field. This subworkflow contain only one task that need to be executed by many user. The binding from previous subworkflow to this subworkflow-2 is: &AGENTS[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& --> &AGENTS1&
"AGENTS1" is single container which refer to USR02-BNAME.
- The binding from subworkflow-2 into task is: &AGENTS1& --> &AGENTS1&
When I executing this workflow and checked in the workflow log "AGENTS1" container is filled with "000001" same value with container WfParForEach_Index.
Hopefully out there can help me on this issue.

Hello,
I have the same problem. I've found this link http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/sap-wug/2008-March/028123.html where a possible solution is detailed.
I have planned to made test on it in next day.
