Sending Multiline Container

Hello,
I have a scenario where I map Idoc's before BPM and I want to use BPM just for colleting these Idocs.
The problem that I come across is that I get an error when sending a "Multiline Container" in the "Send" step. If I make a container just for sending I get an error that my "Send Container" is empty.
If you collect and map the Idoc's in BPM, you can change the occurance in the mapping and send a Multiline Container but If you map before BPM you need to change the occurance of the target message because the occurance of my incoming and outgoing message in BPM in the highest level is 1..1 and I guess if you can change this you can send the multiline container, but this seems impossible,
Does anyone has any idea about this matter?
Kind regards,
Kamran

Hi Guys,
Thank you for your reply. Ive tried your suggestions and It doesn't work.
In case of Mario the problem is that you can't select multiline container nor for the Receive nor for the Send step and in case of Ranjit its not possible to select the simple type in the Current Line of the Block, you have to choose an Abstract Interface and if you choose an Abstract Interface for the Current Line it doesn't work.
So my conclusion would be this is not possible.
Best Regards,
Kamran

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.

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.

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

Adish

> 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.

Mail not send to multiple users even Multiline container element has value

Hi,
I have collected the AGENTS to send mail notification in a multiline container element using a background step. The method collect the agent and return in to a container. I use this container in the following mail step using expression. The type id is 'G'. The mail step fails .The address string is filled also with agents.
Please guide me if u have come across this situation early.
Regards,
Richard A

I think if you are passing SAP User Id then the SAP User Id should be concatenated with US in the front.
If this is maintained in the container element and if still send mail is failing then it might be that one of the USER Id does not exist in the system.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

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

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-

Passing values from multiline container

Hello Gurus,
I am new to workflow and I have a requirement wherein I have a multiline container element (DiscDocStatus of type EDISCDOC-STATUS) filled with the status values.
If all the values in container DiscDocStatus are 10 or 11, then I need to execute certain steps (step A and step B) and if any other value than 10 or 11, then I have to wait for 10 days and then do step A and step B.
Could you please how to do it?
P.S. I know...I am asking tooo silly thing...but do not have any option but to ask...apologies....
Thanks

Hi..
In that case you can try as below & i checked the same. it works for me..
1. Create a block step in your workflow... In local container tab of block step create a single value container element which has
data type as line type of your multiline container...
Say for eg: your multiline container has datatype as (char10) with multiline checkbox enabled then create this container element in
local container tab with datatype as (char10) without multiline checkbox (ideally you can compare multiline container as internal table
and this single line container as workarea)..
2. In control tab of block step do the binding from multiline container to single line container. Leave the Block type dropdown in control tab as standard.
3. Put a condition step within block with condition as single line container NE 10 and NE 11. (So in case the multiline element has even a single value which is not 10 or 11 then workflow control will enter this condition). Place a container step in outcome True of condition step to set a flag variable as X (Note: Create this flag variable in workflow container)
4. Now outside the block again put a condition step which checks whether this flag variable is set as 'X' (if it has value X then it means that multiline container has atleast 1 value other than 10 & 11. If not it means all values are either 10 or 11). So If flag is X you have to wait for 10 days and then do step A and step B. If not you can execute steps A & B. For waiting for 10 days you can go for requested start deadline which will send the workitem to the inbox of approver only if the mentioned time period/deadline (in your case - 10 days) expires.
Let me know in case of any issues.

CcBPM multiline container Processing

I have a BPM where I select several records from the database. I then need to process each record through a JAVA mapping module individually. Based on the output of the JAVA mapping module I either send the record to the appropriate receiver or I end the process for that record.
first Attempt:
1) receive data from database through SQL query
2) Split the single message with many entries into many individual messages through a transformation step.
    i.e. Mapping A occurence 1 to Mapping B occurence 0,unbounded
3) A ParForEach Block which contained the transformation step with the JAVA Mapping, A switch step for canceling or sending the document.
My problem:
The multiline data was never sent to the transformation step but I noticed that if I have just had a send step it would process each line.
Second Attempt:
1) Receive data from database through SQL query
2) Split message as mentioned above
3) Assign multiline to variable in container opperation
4) Variable from container operation is input to JAVA Mapping
My problem:
I don't see any processing from within the loop. I don't receive any output and my data doesn't appear to have processed through the JAVA module.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to process these records since my JAVA module can't take the list of records but needs them individually as well as I need to send them out individually based on their independent response from the JAVA module.

Hi Amar,

Fill Multiline container from multi records in source XML ?

Hi,
scenario: File-XI-RFC-File(BPM).
Read company id from source file, call BAPI(company_get_detail) using RFC receiver adapter and then write response to another file.
This works fine for one record(one RFC call to BAPI) using the BPM.
Now, I would like to implement the process for multiple records using block(forEach) to make multiple RFC calls in BPM.
I understand that i have to create multiline container and map 1:n from input xml into that container. I need help here.
BPM Steps:
Receive source file - fill multicontainer ?
Open block step (forEach)
 send sync RFC call
 save Response in another multiline container
close block
send step - write response to file(receiver)
file structure:
<ns0:MT_compRqst_multi xmlns:ns0="http://abc.com/FileToRFCBPM">
 <DT_record>
 <companyID>000001</companyID>
 </DT_record>
 <DT_record>
 <companyID>000002</companyID>
 </DT_record>
</ns0:MT_compRqst_multi>

Hi -
For your requirement, as Bill implied, you need a multi-mapping (Transformation step) that maps your single message with multiple records to multiple, complete messages with one record each.
To get you started, basically, for the multi-mapping, create a message mapping with your source and target MTs the same (as the one you posted). Then in "Messages" tab, for your Target message, change the occurance to "0..unbounded". Now if you go back to the "Design" tab, you see that both your source and target messages have a "Messages/Messages1" wrapper around them. In the end, the target message would look like the following and would correspond to your multi-line container element:
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
 <ns0:Message1>
 <ns0:MT_compRqst_multi xmlns:ns0="http://abc.com/FileToRFCBPM">
 <DT_record>
 <companyID>000001</companyID>
 </DT_record>
 </ns0:MT_compRqst_multi>
 <ns0:MT_compRqst_multi xmlns:ns0="http://abc.com/FileToRFCBPM">
 <DT_record>
 <companyID>000002</companyID>
 </DT_record>
 </ns0:MT_compRqst_multi>
 </ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Messages>
You'll need further steps - Interface Mapping, ccBPM (Transformation step, adjusting your Block settings, container element for multi-line element, etc.). There are some blogs on multi-mapping within ccBPM that will help you - just do a search.
Note that if your scenario has a large number of records, this approach is not performance friendly.

Jin

Determine number of lines of multiline container in ccBPM

Hi guys,
during my process a loop over a multiline element and send each entry to SAP backend.
After shipment of the message the process waits for some time, to prevent problems caused by parallel messages in the backend.
At the moment I use a block in the "for each" mode. But with this solution the wait step is executed unnecessary, after sending the last message of the multiline container variable.
Is there a possibility to check the number of entries and solve this issue with a normal loop step and preventing the process for unnecessary wait step?
I search SDN for some information relating this issue, but without success.
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance
Kind regards
Jochen

Hi Shabarish,
thanks for helping.
You are right I want to know how many entries are in the multiline container.
I also thought about an export parameter in the transformation step where the multiline message is created.
In this parameter I could return the number of entries.
Maybe this would be an adequate approach for this issue.
Unfortunately I wasn´t able to evaluate such a export parameter, when I tried it last time.
I mentioned the issue in this [thread|;.
maybe you know how to solve this issue..?
kind regards
Jochen

CcBPM extract data from query input (muliple row) to multiline container.

Hi XI Expert,
I have ccBPM scenario JDBC -
> RFC.
JDBC Sender contain multiple rows, how can i extract the muliple rows into multiline container so i can use for looping and send to RFC one by one.
Thank you and Best Regards
Fernand

Hi,
Your scenario is JDFC to RFC, where u have to extract the multiple records and apeend to RFC.
first thing, in order to bundle multiple rows
is there any time constraint ?(like with in 24 hours), in that situation use block step and append mode.
also use activate corelarion step in receive.
as u know, we need loop, recive, transformation out of loop send and block.
plese check the following blog related to BPM.

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

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
