Step Group , Monitoring Process and Integration Process.

Hi Experts,
I would like to when we use Step Group, Monitoring Process and what is the difference of these two with Integration Process. As we can use all the steps of Integration Process with Step Goup and Monitoring Process.
Regards,
Syed

For the Step Group:
You can consider it as a BPM which can be used in another BPM....concept similar to a reusable class :)....So if you have a constant patter of Receive --- transformation -
Send in some BPMs then create a Step Group and include it in the required BPMs...

Difference between Monitoring Process and Integration Process

What is the difference between the Monitoring Process object for BAM and Integration Process object? Both seem to have exactly the same design environment in the Enterprise Services Builder.
Is it so that Monitoring Process alarms only appear in the UWL of the specified user?
Also, suppose I am wanting to create a receive step to wait for the arrival of a message instead of an event (say I want to check a specific message arrives before a certain time, correlating several fields of the message, which is something I cannot do I believe with alert monitoring). Am I able to do this? I cannot see a reason why not, but I'd like confirmation.
BR,
Tony.

Hi,
Thanks for the link! I read through the replies, but it still leaves a couple of basic questions unsolved:
1) Why did SAP discriminate these two types of PI objects at design time - the Monitoring Process and the Integration Process?
2) new capabilities of PI 7.1 are touted as:
Event provisioning and consumption for BAM:
- Local container
- Subscription and handling of business process events
- Milestone Monitoring
So can I only employ event provisioning, subscription of Business process Events and Milestome monioring with a Monitoring process, or can I do that with an Integration Process as well?
BR,
Tony.

3 errors in Step 6 (Correlation) of "Define Integration Process" Tutorial

Step 6 of the Define Integration Process tutorial:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/69/4ad13fa69a4921e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
has three errors in it:
a) item number is left out of the request correlation define steps (steps 9-10)
b) Item number is left out of the confirmation correlation define steps (step 11)
c) In step 14, the name of the correlation should be BookingConfirmation, not BookingCorrelation.
If item number is left out, or if the name of the correlation is entered incorrectly, the object will not activate.

I quite agree, JB - SDN is not the place to report SAP software bugs (although it is a great place to embarass SAP into fixing them after they've been reported to the usual suspects !)
But ... documentation bugs are not software bugs, and I think that the nature of documentation bugs, particularly in tutorials, makes SDN the perfect place to report them "officially".
After all, isn't documentation all about "outreach"?
And isn't SDN all about "outreach" too?
(Well, and "inreach" too, to the extent that SAP pays attention to what goes on here ...)

Separate Distribution Monitor Export and Import Processes on Multiple Machines

Hi,
Would you kindly let me know whether it is possible (means officially supported way) to run Distribution Monitor Export and Import processes on different machines?
As per SAP note 0001595840 "Using DISTMON and MIGMON on source and target systems", it says as below.
> 1. DISTMON expects the export and import to be carried out on the same server
I think it means that export and import processes for the same tables must be run on the same machine, is it correct? If yes, Export on the machine A, and then Import those exported data on the other machine B is not the officially supported way... (However, I know it is technically possible.)
Kind regards,
Yutaka

Hi Yutaka,
Point no. 2 & 3 clarify the confusion. However let me explain it briefly:
Distribution Monitor is used basically in case of migration of large SAP systems (database). It provides the feature to increase parallelism of export and import, distributing the process across available systems.
You have to prepare the system for using DistMon. A common directory needs to be created as"commDir" and in case you use multiple systems for executing more number of processes of export and import then that "commDir" should be shared across all those systems. And this is what the Point no.1 in KBA 1595840 mentions about. Distribution Monitor will run both the export and import process from the machine which is prepared for using DistMon and DistMon itself will control the other processes i.e. MigMon. No need to start separate MigMon.
For example: You are performing a migration of SAP system based on OS:AIX and DB:DB2 to OS: HP-UX and DB: Oracle. You need to perform the export using DistMon and you are having 4 Windows servers which can be used for parallel export/import. Once you have prepared the system for DistMon which hosts the "commDir" you'll have to provide the information of involved host machines in the "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file. Now when DistMon is executed it will distribute the export and import process across the systems which were defined in "distribution_monitor_cmd.properties" file automatically.

Difference between Workflow and Integration Process

Hi Experts,
Can someone please explain, what is the difference between the workflow and integration process(BPM).
Thanks
Sree

Hi Sree,
Integration Processes are :-
--Message based
--Interface focused
--Cross component
--Have no support for human interaction
--Enabled with SAP XI
Workflows are:-
--Object based
--Human focused
--Intra-application
--Have no support for mapping, routing or message transformations
--Enabled with the SAP Web AS
However, most automated business processes involve a combination of the two.
I hope this clear your doubt.

Using CREATE PROCESS and START PROCESS in a JSP

Hi,
I have built a simple JSP page. I want to call my workflow program from this page.
How should I use the CREATE PROCESS() AND START PROCESS() inside the JSP page?
Also I want to get the value entered in the text field (which will be a hidden field) to be passed to the ITEM_ATTRIBUTE, which I have defined in my program. How can this be achieved?
Please give me the syntax for this.
Please find below the JSP page
=========================================================
<%@page import= "java.util.Date" %>
<script language="javascript" src="ibeCButton.js"> </script>
<html>
<head>
<title>First Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<H3>Today is:
<%= new java.util.Date() %>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="CART_ID">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" onclick = >
</H3>
</body>
</html>
==========================================================
To use LAUNCHPROCESS in JSP, the following is the syntax.
public static boolean launchProcess
(WFContext wCtx,
String itemType,
String itemKey,
String process,
String userKey,
String owner)
Should WFContext have the connection information of the DB.
If I pass only the WFContext and itemType attributes are they enough? Please let me know.
Thanks

There are two options.
1. Good one.
Include wf*.jar files in your system CLASSPATH. Use oracle.apps.fnd.wf.engine.WFEngineAPI class to access engine APIs. You would need to pass WFContext for which you need WFDB.
You basically created WFDB with username, password and connect string. Pass it to WFContext and use it for all Workflow Engine APIs.
2. OK one.
You can get JDBC connection using the default mechanism that your custom Java and JSP code could be using. Call the PLSQL procedures WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess over JDBC.
Anyways option 1 makes life easier.

AR process and Sub process documentation

Hi,
I am working on AR process and sub process Can any one please mail me the documentation / links on
AR high-level process &and AR sub process like.
Manual invoicing (where there is no SD invoice)
Direct debit Process,
Automatic matching of Incoming payments,
Remittance advice/ payment advice,
Debit Not process & credit note process
Electronic Bank Statements
User exits (on payment advice)
Credit managment process
Points will be awarded accordingly
MY mail id is [email protected]
Thanks
Sireesha

I would suggest reading the pdf files from Siemens.
you can also find some files in www.easymarketplace.de
but the best thing to do would be to practise a lot in a test system and get the overview from people who worked in AR for atleast 6 months....
the pdf files, though they are comprehensive are very intricate and never explain the entire business scenario in simple words..

Business Process and sub Process IN ERM and CUP

Hi Friends,
We are in intial stage of GRC implimentation. Now I am uploading the roles into ERM and CUP. I have defined business processes and sub processes for the roles and upload the roles successfully in ERM. But when I am doing the same excercise in CUP especially during creation of sub process it is not allowing the charecter "-" in the name space.
E.g. Business process name is EHS-SM (Uploaded to CUP)
Sub process name is EHS-SM1.1 (not allowing to create in CUP wher as successfully created in ERM)
My question is
1. why it allows me to do the same thing in ERM but not in CUP.
2. Is there any way to maintain the name with chaecter "-".
For your information I am in the phase of defining the attributes for the roles.
Thanks & Regards,
Satyabrat

Hi all,
I will have a hard time ahead with BP and SBP. all are in the same format. I dont think my company will agree to change the name of there BP or SBP because they are thousands in count and also there is no other way around in GRC,
Let give me a try...
Thanks Guys for your support and time.

Difference between business process, sales process and order process

what is the difference between business process, sales process and order process?

Dear Gopala,
business process is a general definition of the process which you have:
for example, you get an order, you have no goods, but you can produce them, you start an assambly processing, the production order will be created, then the goods will be prepatred, then the delivery will be created, the goods issue booked then your customer gets thwe goods and send the delivery confirmation, you create an invoice etc.etc.
sales process is a part of a business process.
Sales process shows how you sell the goods, there are different sales document categories to do this: sales orders, contracts, scheduling agreements etc.
order process is only one of possibilities of the sales process.
Order process is used if you get really a one-time (or at lease not on a regular basis many times) the simple orders where your customer says what goods he would like to receive and when. Then you create a sales order (in dialog transaction VA01) and can create a delivery. There are different types of sales orders in the standard. The customizing of sales order types is available under the transaction VOV8.
I hope, this info help you a little bit further to understand SD design.

Business Process and Sales process

Hi Gurus,
Will somebody explain me the Difference between " Business Process and Sales Process"
Thanks & Regards
Srikanth

Hi Srikant,
Sales process is related to only sales and Distribution which means from Sales to Billing, But in business process it includes other business aspects like accounting principles, etc, i.e it includes all processes of all the modules.
For SD point of view in interview your answer should be all SD scenarios.
reward if it helps.

Business process and sub process in CUP & ERM

Hi,
We have created Business Processes and Sub- Processes in ERM. But we are not able to view the same when we create a request in CUP.
We have created the Business Processes and Sub- Processes for CUP in Roles -Attributes.These were then visible in the request.
Do we need to create the Processes and Sub-processes independently in both ERM and CUP or should it flow into CUP when roles are imported into CUP from ERM ?
Thanks and Regards.

Another important point:
In CUP, Sub Processes are optional, in ERM they are mandatory.
Please make sure you have some in CUP for all your processes.
Frank.

Concept of Sub Process and Starter Process in BPEL

Hi Forum -
With my limited understanding of BPEL I have found that if a process has to interact with another process it has to be exposed as a service however that is not good in all cases.
Is there a way in BPEL where once can create a process and do not expose it as service and still be able to call it from another BPEL process.
For example there can be a process called sendNotification and all the other processes if they want to send a notification can call this process.
In TIBCO there is a concept of Starter Process and Sub Process. A Starter Process is a process which will wait for an event to take place, like a web service request or a JMS message or a database adapter event and then this main process can call a sub process, just like the main program calling a function. This sub process need not be defined as a service in TIBCO and it can still accept an xml schema type as input.
Is this possible in BPEL?
Thanks!

10g -> Every process is a service.
11g -> Create a Composite, You could wire multiple BPEL Components and expose only the desired ones as a service through a mediator or directly the bpel. Mediator provide one more layer of virtualization and hides even the first master bpel component.
But if the send notification have to be reused outside the composite, it has to be an exposed service. Although it is exposed as a web service, it uses only WSIF binding to interact between bpel processes and not a soap binding(unless specifically instructed).
If you are looking for function kind of construct, you could create custom xpath functions (like logging etc.)

Business Activity Monitoring of ODI integration process.

Dear All,
I would like to understand steps or methdology, to implement monitoring of Integration process in ODI 11g so that business users can monitor the success and failure of the scheduled process in production environment..
Thanks and Regards

You are looking for OdiConsole.
Oracle Data Integrator Console is a web-based console for managing and monitoring an Oracle Data Integrator run-time architecture and for browsing design-time objects.

Runtime and Integration process

hello,
I have 2 questions about Integration :
first, can I assigned a Business Process to an other system than XI. For example, I have a R/3, a SAP CRM and XI between the 2. Can I assigned a BP to R/3 or CRM ?
second, How BP works during runtime. On some schemas (for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm and the Integration Processes) it appears that there is receiver determination and mapping before the execution of the BP. This doesn't seems very logical for me. Can someone explain when was the BP executed ?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I don't really understand your first question. You have to See a BP as an Service (end-point) which can receive messages and send messages like a normal business system/service. So message that come into the integration Engine can be transformed and routed to a BP, this message will then trigger the Business Process and the BP will do its business and will ends itself after it is done. In runtime a BP is actually SAP Workflow.
So you can define BP that will receive messages from R/3 or SAP CRM or both and send messages to them. If you mean with "assign" that you place your developed BP in a SWCV (software component version) of SAP R/3 or SAP CRM, that is your own choice.
Cheers,
Frank
