Starting BPM process externally.

Hi,
I have created a BPM process and I am able to test it from NWA -> Process repository. But When I am testing from WS Navigator then I am getting an error like-> Web Service returned an error. Fault Code: "(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/)Server" Fault String: "Process start has been triggered."
But my process is started fine. Actualy I want to access this WSDL URL from other applications. Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Somnath

Hi There
> Actualy I want to access this WSDL URL from other applications. Can anybody help me?
Any tool or application that can send a SOAP-Message to the WSDL-Interface in the starting-event can trigger those processes.
I used SOAPUI to start the processes i wanted to test. You just need to know the location of the WSDL of your process. You may find this in the NWA - Single Services Administration when you select your process.
hope this helps,
Markus
edit:
> Simply change the WSDL interface for your process to an asynchronous one - a WSDL that only contains a Request and no Response.
Wouldn't this be a "one-way"-process instead of an asynchronous (only request, no response)? Because an asynchronous process should response when it's finished.

Start bpm process with attachment or note

Hi All
Is there any way to start BPM process and add attachment or note to it.
My client requirement is that when the process is started requester should be able to add file or note.
This note or file should be visible in UWL task (in section attachments or notes)
Is there any way to do it using standard.
I know that I can store note in context of BPM process but customer is really pushing for standard.
Regards

Not sure if the requester is in BPM or outside BPM.
You can do this by keeping requester in BPM i.e. trigger BPM and give requester a task. (Dont think its preferred design).
In UWL you can let user add a memo or attachment... Refer below doc

How to start BPM Process in Netweaver CE 7.1 from backend

Hi,
since 2 Month i am trying to use SAP Netweaver CE 7.1 EHP1. I found a lot about modelling of business process with process composer.
In my company we are often using SAP Standard Programs/transaktions, thats why I want to start a SAP Netweaver BPM Process from SAP Backend. I think there are more than one way. May be someone can tel me one easy way.
The following systems are available in my Landascape:
- PI 7.1
- ERP 2005
- CE 7.1 EHP1 with ESR
Does someone have an idea how to start the BPM Process or how to trigger start event from Backend?
Greetings,
Manuel

Hi,
Netweaver BPM process can be started in two ways:
1. Using NWA by instantiating a process
2. Using a Web service which trigers the Start event of the Business Process. You may find this useful:

Error starting BPM process in CE 7.2

Hi Guys,
I created a BPM process and deployed it on CE 7.2 server. When I try to start it from Process Repository , I get following error.
com.sap.tc.bpem.wdui.procstarter.procstarter.comp.ProcStarterComp$MyException: Error :Start event ID is null; Check if the necessary services are started
Start Event and end event are defined.
Any idea what this error is about.

hi,
how about other bpm process?
if all are like this, you have to check the bpm service.

Start BPM process from ABAP report. Need some investigations.

Hi there!
I have to start a BPM process from ABAP report. I found an article http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d75b45-7fef-2b10-bc8e-c6012e0a9457?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true and have done everything it describes but the process doesn't start.
What I've done:
1) Created a service proxy in SE80.
2) Created a logical port in SOAMANAGER.
3) Write a code to start a WebService in ABAP Report.
But when I start a program nothing happens, no errors.
What analysis I did:
1) See logs and traces in SOAMANAGER - there is nothing appears after I start the report.
2) Tried to test connection to my WebService in SM59 - the connection works, but it use a POST method instead of GET:
Error: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.server.additions.wsa.WSAddressingException: com.sap.SOA.wsr.030104 - Expected request method POST. Found GET.
But I think it is OK and from the report it use a right method.
3) Tried to delete a logical port - the error of communication problem appears. So it means that all settings are right.
4) No logs in NWA logs
My thoughts - if there is not any errors and no result, it can be because the user authorization. E.g. it tried to start a process by a user who doesn't have SAP_BPM_SuperAdmin role. But I can't find a way how to check what really happens. So I want to ask for a help, colleagues:).

Dear Kirill Zhuklinets,
Can you share your solution as i am facing the same error while trying to consume BPM webservice from SRM ECC
Error Message from SRM ECC :
Exception occurred in communication framework:Error in HTTP Framework:405Method Not Allowed

Start BPM process automatically

Hi ALL,
I have created a BPM process. I can start that process automatically from nwa -> Process controll.
But I want to run the process automatically by a certain time interval. How can I do it.
Can anybody help me.
Thanks in advance
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
I am not 100% sure if I understood you correctly, but with BPMN there comes a model element named Intermediate Timer Event which can be configured in two different ways using:
an offset (e.g. 1 hour after the timer has been created)
an expression (e.g. ProcessContext.aDateOneEntered + 1 day)
Nevertheless this still requires you to start the process by yourself, but it 'waits' at the timer until the offset or the expression has been reached. Thereby you can achieve that an interval is taken into account upon execution of the process.
More information about events can be found in the documentation:
Modeling Events

Cannot start BPM process, "Start process" button is disabled: Why?

Dear all,
I am working on the BPM example "Modeling Your First Process with SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management" with the "Purchase process". I did everything as mentioned in the tutorial.
At the end, I would like to start the process using
NWA > Configuration management > Processes and Tasks > Process Repository
I can see my WD example that I have deployed and I see the my task definitions and my process definition. In the tutorial it says, that I can select the process definition and click "Start process". But the button "Start process" is always disabled. I cannot click the button. I don't know why. Did I miss something?
I am logged in as Administrator. I am using NW AS 7.2 and I am developing with NWDS 7.1 SP04.
Anyone has an idea what can I do to start the process?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Patrick Beck on Jun 25, 2010 4:55 PM

Thanks for the link.
I added the new context attribute in the XSD files (under Process Modeling > Data Types > XSD Files).
Since I added a new context attribute "Comment" of type String in my Web Dynpro, I added the following on the corrent position of the XSD files:
                         <xsd:element name="Comment" type="com.sap.dictionary.string">
               <xsd:annotation>
                    <xsd:appinfo>
                         <xsd:attribute name="ReadOnly" type="xsd:boolean" fixed="false"/>
                                                                      </xsd:appinfo>
               </xsd:annotation>
          </xsd:element>
I also edited input and output mapping of the human and automated activities to support the new attribute "Comment". I thought this is enough to pass the new "Comment" parameter from activity to activity.
But when I started the process, I filled in the comment field in Web Dynpro and went to the next step in the process. Seems like the new attribute value for "Comment" got lost. It does not appear in the next process step.
Did I miss something?
These are the steps I did:
- edit Web Dynpro UI to support the new context attribute "Comment". created new input field and mapped to the Comment context attribute (that is defined in my WDP interface).
- edited XSD files (one for each human activity) to support the new Comment attribute as mentioned above.
- edited the mapping between the activities to support pass-through of the new Comment attribute between the activities
But it seems like it's not saved in the context attribute "Comment". It got lost after the first step.
Any ideas?

Start BPM Process from ABAP with another User as GUEST

Hi all,
i would like to start the BPM Process by a webservice. It works if the user GUEST has the role BPM_SuperAdmin.
My question is: How can i chance this user, who call the webservice starting the process. The user, who starts the process by calling the webservice should be my own user instead of GUEST.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Christoph

the last reply is regarding the configuration at consumer side.
of course you have to configure at the service provider side to enable the logon ticket as acceptable authentication method.
I checked at my side, i found the the service for triggering bpm is already configured to use id/pwd and logon ticket as authentication method.
you can check in this way,
CE nwa-> SOA Management->Application and Scenario Communication-->Single Service Administration
find your service, if you haven't assign any profile to your service, there will be only one configuration generate by system
you can edit this configuration.
go to configuration tab, select the endpoint, select security tab in the bottom tab list.
change the setting there.

Unable to start BPm process

Hi
I have a process model with a start process (wsdl which takes some inputs) and then next task assigned to a dynamic user based on inputs in start process.
While I try to start the process manually from nwa by giving inputs i see teh error "Failed to start the process; Process manager adapter may not be started; error= com.sap.glx.adapter.api.AdapterException: Process start failed due to TransitionException"
This error pops up randomly whenever I change some user mapping at the second level task (not start process and next task)
Any clues?
Regards

Hi Lavanya,
Could you please tell me how you resolved. I am also getting same error.

Start BPM Process Trigger - Read timed out

Hello,
Please anyone know how to format the WSDL that was generated for start a process to asynchronous?
When I call the wsdl from web dynpro it works (the process is succesfully triggered) but the web dynpro after a while throws a time out exception. How can I change the wsdl to be asynchronous?
Thanks

Starting BPM process instance automatically

In our process we would like to read the Oracle staging table and start the instance(s). We want this to happen every hour or so automatically.
We looked into documentation for starting the instances. Looks like there are only two ways, one is through global creation activity, we don?t want to use this approach since it is manual trigger, the second one is API initiate. I couldn't find any documentation on this approch. Some one please point me to right document or suggest me better approach.
Thanks,

You can use Global Automatic activities. This kind of activities
tipically run when a time is timeframe is reached (for example, every
hour) or you can make them to be trigger by some event, like a JMS Message.

Unable to Trigger BPM Process from ECC --- Need Help

Hi All,
I have created a BPM and exposed the Process as a web service. Now when ECC team is trying to trigger the BPM through the provided Web Service, they are getting the below error.
Issue is that the messages fails in ECC with the Status u201CSystem Erroru201D and this is due to reason below :
"The RM Source endpoint requests this acknowledgement by including an
<AckRequested> header block in the message. An RM Destination that
receives a message that contains an <AckRequested> header block MUST
respond with a message containing a <SequenceAcknowledgement> header
block" (Web Services Reliable Messaging Protocol 1.0).
