Switch Step Problem

I have a Switch Step that receives a message base on a Message Type without Namespace, despite evaluation path is good and the Switch Step recieves a correct message the Step is not working, the xPath for evaluation does not include Namespace, Is the Namespace necesary in order to use a Switch Step?

Hi Rubens,

Problem with Switch Step in BPM

Hi,
I am using Switch Step in BPM, to check a condition. I created following condition (App_Resp./p1:App_Resp_MT/Response = true). The mentioned is correct and it should succeed but it is failing. Its going thru OTHERWISE branch. Can anybody help me to solve this out?
Thanks,
Yaseen.

HI,
I checked in the workflow the xml file generated contains value 'true'.
Its not multiline and looks xpath reflects for the changes made.
I think it may be problem that needs to deploy any OSS notes.
Please throw some idea.
Thanks,

Problem with switch step

Hi,
I want to proof in a switch step, if the message part 'price' is lower than the 'price'-part of an other message. Dependent from the expression, the corresponding fork is triggered in my BPEL process.
I know there is an expression editor, but I can't find a lower than and greater than symbol, respectively.
Are these operands not supported or am I blind
Best regards
Sascha

I donot think you are blind..:)Switch step doesnot provide that....Instead check the condition in the message mapping and add a field in the target message which will contain the result.You can use that check for you to switch...Iam not sure wether am right but this is option I could think..:)

Prblem with Switch step in BPM

Hi all,
I have a problem with a switch step in my BPM. The condition on my BPM is that I have an xpath and that should have a particular constant value. If true, then proceed or else passs through the otherwise branch. The success branch has a transformation and a send step. The otherwise has a control step with an Alert category defined.
So the BPM is like
Receive message --> Switch (XPath condition a particular node must have a value not equal to zero.) --> if tru then transformation and send step otherwise control step.
This all works fine as expected when I pass in the correct message format. The problem is, if I send in a message of a completely different structure, it is still going through the otherwise step of the switch case and not erroring out. The BPM is not erroring out no matter what message I pass in.
Ideally I am expecting it to error out and send an alert message according to the category.
could somebody please help me on this?
Thanks
Karthik

Thanks for your reply. I already did go through that thread. The switch case works fine for correct conditions and wrong conditions. The problem is, there is no error being generated when the input message is not in a recognizable structure. Switch goes on to otherwise path is I just pass in some random file.
My question is, why dint the BPM error out when the XPath itself failed..meaning the structure itself is wrong?
Please reply.
Thanks
Karthik

IVI-C switch step open session error

In my current Test Stand 3.5 sequence I start by using niSE open session.vi to begin a new switch session. I then pass this handle along to other VIs for switching, which works perfectly, and then at the very end of the sequence I pass the handle to a niSE close session.vi. The problem I'm having is now I want to start using the built in IVI-C Switch steps. Everytime I insert one of these steps in the middle of my sequence I get an error because the step appears to be trying to open a new session, when one is already open. Is there a way to pass the currently running session handle into the "virtual device name" of the switch step so that it doesn't try to open a new one?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason.
This is known bug in TestStand and it is currently being addressed CAR ID #125874. Basically when the NISE session is closed, TestStand doesn't actually dispose of the session but rather hangs on to it until the execution window is closed.
There is a workaround:
Create a statement step after you close the NISE session, and call the following.
RunState.Execution.TSIviStepTypes_AnchorName_For_NISE Virtual Device = nothing
where NISE Virtual Device is the name of the NISE device that you want to end the session to.

BPM: XPath-Condition in Switch Step

Hello,
I have the following requirement in BPM.
There is a switch step with five branches, and I have the following document structure:
<Root>
<Segment>
   <Docnum> 12345 </Docnum>
</Segment>
<Segment>
   <Docnum> 12346 </Docnum>
</Segment>
</Root>
The switch condition is done based on the last digit of the first Docnum element. So in this case the value would be 5.
I tried to work with a substring as the total number of digits of docnum is always 5.
How would an XPath expression look like to retrieve the substring from the first <Segment> element? I tried different combinations but none of them really worked.
Example what I tried: p1:/root/Segment[1]/substring(docnum, 4,1)
Any advise on this?
Thank you very much

Try this...
substring(/p1:/root/Segment[1]/docnum,4,1)

Checking condition in switch step of BPM

hi all,
i am doing an 1to1 transformation where: i am converting my source into a target. the target has
header 1
lineitem 1..unbouneded.
lets say there are three line items:
header1
lineitem
lineitem
lineitem
i am using a send step where i am sending this target msg to a switch step. in the switch step i am checking for a condition.i am checking for the occurence of a field in the line item. but when specifying in the condition editor, it allows only to choose from the root of the structure. how can i check the ocuurence of a particuler field for the lineitem alone??
is there a way to to do it??
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
This is the condition i have currently given: but if i have 2 or more lineitems in the incoming msg does this condition also check for :
MI_DOC./p1:SRC_ROOT.lineitem/itemfield2 EX
MI_DOC./p1:SRC_ROOT.lineitem/itemfield3 EX
etc...
and in one of the line item the field may EX and some it does`nt. when it doesn`t i am cancelling the process, if the field EX then it is sent to further processing.so if i have 3 lineitems in which two of the line items the field EX and in the other one the field does the EX, are the msgs split accordingly??

Switching Step based on Send Step Acknowledgement in BPM

Hello Everyone,
We have an inteface scenario to read a file, send the message to an R/3 system, check the return code and generate an email if the acknowledgement is not OK. NT file -> SAP XI -(asyn ABAP proxy)-> R/3.
We want to use the standard inbound interface provided by SAP which is an asynchronous proxy interface. We implemented a BPM with a send step and application acknowledgement. Now based on the application acknowledgement we want to send an email to a support group. Is there a way we can check the acknowledgement status and implement a switch step?
Sathi.

Hi Naveen,
Thanks for your response.
OK I will try transport acknowledgement. I find these acknowledgements are not available in a container. So how can I implement a switch to perform 2 different processing paths based on success/failure status of the acknowledgement.

Condition in switch step is not getting checked

Hi Friends,
My requirement is to send the input msg to two receivers based on a condition and get the response. If the condition is true it will either goto both or anyone of the receiver.
I defined two branches in a switch step. In each branch i defined condition using XPath. Under that branchs i defined the sync send step to send the msg to receiver and get response.
If i give input that is true for any one of the receiver, it executs successfully. But if my input satisfies the condition of both branchs, instead of sending the message to two receivers it is sending the msg to only receiver.
Pls help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Senthil.

Senthil,
Please confirm your process looks like this:
    /-- item name CE 'X' -- [send] --\    /-- item name CE 'Y' -- [send] --\
Or, if you follow patrick's suggestion
     /-- item name CE 'X' AND item name CE 'Y' -- [send] -- [send] --\
---   -- item name CE 'X' -- [send] ---------------------------------   ---
Kind regards,
Koen

BMP: Condition Editor for SWITCH Step

Hi
Can anyone tell me how I stipulate the following conditions for a switch step in BPM:
>, <, <=, >=
The only options that seem to be available are:
=, !=, Existence check and contains a particular string pattern...which is very limiting?
Surely SAP has given the options for the greater than, less than etc oprands....hopefully i simply missing a service pack or something like that.
Cheers
Yackeen

Hi
One way could be to use XPATH expressions & XPATH functions in your condition editor. Chk whether an element has a value greater than or less than some value in the XPATH expression itself.
The result of this check now can be compared to a true or false(that is your rt hand operand). My 2 cents.

Testing switch step conditions

Hi
Is there a way to test conditions in switch step?
With real data when the process is executed... it seems that the condition does not work... but I can not see more details to investigate what is wrong.
Has anybody ideas how to test switch conditions?
Thanks for any input,
Heiko

Ok sorry, I thought you were maintaining a Business Workflow, not an XI process..
I haven't worked with ccBPM or the integration/workflow builder myself, but could you go to the graphical builder, drill down to the switch step and see what's available there? In the business workflow builder you can see a small simulation button in the bottom together with create test data button.

Switch Step Scan List

I am using the 2530B with dual 64x1 topology. In TestStand, I want to set up the IVI Switch Step to where it connects a channel off of each bank and then uses the DMM to record. In LabWindows I can use: "ch0->com0 & ch64->com4";
How would I do that using the IVI Switch Step? Under 'configure scan' then ScanList tab, I currently have ch0->com0 then ch64->com4 using No Action so that each set before DMM measures then each will disconnect with there own commands. Is there an easier way for this, although I have not tested this method? Forgive me if this seems common knowledge but this is first time I am using TestStand.

Are you asking about an easier way to disconnect the switch? If you could clarify some more about what you are trying to do, that would be great. Also, are you using Switch Executive?
