Sync Bridge Keywords

I'm trying to sync Bridge keywords between multiple machines. Since the keywords are embeded in the images, I can keep all the images in Dropbox and Bridge will read the keywords no matter what machine I am on. The problem is it only syncs the keywords in the "FILTER" panel and not the "KEYWORDS" panel. Because of this, if I want to tag a new photo with a keyword that was created on another machine, I have to recreate that tag in the "KEYWORDS" panel then check it.
Where does Bridge store the keywords? They aren't in the preferece plist file. When I delete that, the keywords in the "KEYWORDS" panel remain. If I know where that file is, I can sync it with Dropbox or Google Drive.

Curious as to why this question was posted in the Adobe Drive forums. Are you also using Adobe Drive in your workflow?
With regard to Bridge question...might also be helpful to know that you can export a keyword collection by using the "Export" function in the flyout menu of the Keywords panel. You could export all keywords to a txt file and then import it on another machine.

How can I sync Bridge between multiple computers at work with keywords/collections/search?

We've been trying to find a digital asset management platform at work for a while now and I recently came across Bridge (we have the Creative Cloud). It's perfect! Except we're all on a bunch of different computers and would need to be able to search the same keywords/collections all from the same server (the photos are in many different folders though). Is there a way to be able to sync all keywords etc on multiple computers? Or if someone opens Bridge and can search right away without having to make all the keywords persistent by finding each photo and clicking on it? We're all on the same Creative Cloud team.

I actually did already create a book with all the files in it, but I couldn't figure out how that was helpful. The hyperlink panel doesn't seem to have any "book" options (unless I'm looking in the wrong place?) and just linking to the different files (after creating the book) didn't have any different results than linking to the files before I created the book.
I thought maybe linking to the different files in the book would work if I could export the whole book to pdf at once (which would be super-helpful in and of itself), but that doesn't seem to be an option either.
I guess what I'm asking is for you to elaborate on what to do after creating the book.
Thanks!

Bridge Keywords driving me nuts! Please help......

I've been directed here by the good people at Elements Village as I have a Bridge specific question that you guys may be able to help with.
I've been using Bridge (CS3, I think) with PSE V4 Mac for several years and have multiple and extensive keywords applied to all my tens of thousands of photos.
I've upgraded to PSE V8 Mac with Bridge CS4. The PSE side of things is fine now. But my Bridge keywords are completely screwed up. With some technical help I've been able to copy my keyword tree from one version to the other. But the problem is that although Bridge is reading my existing keywords, it's throwing them up out of sync, in different parents and in multiples of each keyword. So whereas I had created "All Kids" child keyword under "People" parent in my old version, in the new version "All Kids" appears twice - once as a new parent and again as a child under "Activities", as well as under the original "People" parent. I can't delete the extras as this will remove the tags from all of these photos. I can't move into the "People" parent as there is already a category there and I although I can deselect the incorrect "All Kid" tags and only select the child keyword in the correct place, when I search again on this keyword, it chucks them all up again, with multiple "All Kids" checked. Furthermore, not all photos that I've tagged with All Kids have all three "All Kids" keywords selected, some only have one or t'other tagged.
Obviously, I can make persistant one or both of the new "All Kids" keywords, but neither are in the correct place in my tree and neither will allow me to move them.
This has happened with ALL my existing keywords - multiple copies, in multiple locations.
I've tried resetting the Bridge preferences.
I've tried going through them keyword by keyword and deselecting the new, out of place keyword and re-selecting the correct keyword - to no avail. When I search again, new out of place keywords are thrown up.
I've tried going back to the new install basic keyword list and re building my keyword tree, but the minute I put in a search, out of place keywords are thrown up that I can't move into the correct parent.
I've tried starting again with my keyword system - I imagine this will take months and months and there simply HAS to be an easier way to do this.
I've read and re-read the online manual at Adobe and can find nothing that deals specifically with upgrading versions. As a fairly experienced Bridge user I'm aware of it's powers and am so disappointed that this is proving to be such as stumbling block. When I upgraded my Lightroom last year the move from one version to the next was totally seemless. And after minor teething trouble with the PSE side of things, that upgrade was also pretty straight forward, but this Bridge issue is really frustrating and I'm wondering whether to abandon this upgrade and go back to using Bridge CS3 (which is still installed and is saving my sanity work wise).
So, please, PLEASE, does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this?
Thanking you in advance.
PS: I'm not super technical so need serious spoon feeding through this!

Hi Will
Okay, I think I get. That is -if and when- my KW's never come up
again, I have Bridge on a goose chase for a (junk) word. Now when I
place a word in Bridge search box, Bridge will use it's own quotation
marks around your entry word and look for that.
What I mean is, you are not using some kind of Bridge power search
characters for this search that I might not be aware of.
For example, junk, or NOT=junk, or /junk/
One thing that is driving me a bit nutty right now is, after getting
all my old KW's to display by clicking on the image file days ago,
Bridge placed them all under the hierarchy of "Other Keywords",
meaning my directory structure was lost and every kw ended up under
this new heading.
I went and built new category heading for my many KW's and then,
click and moved these under the new headings and then made permanent
all of these KW.
My frustration is now, that Bridge does not respect the fact that I
moved them to different location. That is they are made permanent in
that new location. But when I relaunch Bridge, and my new KWs
organization comes up, it all looks fine. Click on any picture and
Bridge places the old KW in Italics that were listed under Other
Keywords and throws them in Alphabetical order through out my list,
as if the move is not respective. So I now have two key words for
ever one KW wanted.
I understand that if you take someone else folder and place it on
your system and open an image that those key words might best be down
under the heading Other Keywords or in italics, and that you would
not want Bridge to automatically be messing with your own Key Words
structure.
But I moved these keywords, and bridge does not respect that having
been made, and how I want those KW's displayed on my page. The KW
list get vary long and confusing to look at with words out of place
everywhere amongst my new list. Sometimes you get confused which
ones you are suppose to use when new images are brought in.
it is a laborious frustrating process to clean those italic migrant
keywords out to clean up the house so to speak.
you have to find all presence of that kw
select all those images,
deselect them, sometimes reselect then so that you can deselect them
to get them all
then delete those italic KW
then check the box so that all those images have only that KW under
the heading you want permanent.
My machine seems to manage these small word pieces of data
exceedingly slow. So I may have to wait for a minute or longer for
the list to update.
It seems this will take days. and the list could go "poof" again for
all i know.
Thanks again for your comments!

Syncing Bridge CC between computers

Hi all,
Is it possible to sync Bridge CC settings between multiple computers.
Most other CC apps do, so why not with Bridge. This could be very usefull for Collections, Keywords etc.
Maybe a solution that involves Hazel (yep, I'm on a Mac).
So far I have found nothing satisfying on this subject.
Or is this something that Adobe is coming up with very soon?!

After posting this question I was curious to see if I could manage some sort of syncing with Hazel (noodlesoft.com, only for Mac).
And guess what?
I did!
At this moment I can sync my Bridge Collections and Keywords file between an iMac and a MacBook Pro via my NAS (but this could also be DropBox or similar).
What I have done (this is only relevant for people who are using, or wanting to use, Hazel on their Mac(s)):
I've created a folder on my NAS called 'Bridge InBetween'.
On both my Macs (iMac and MBPro) I created a rule in Hazel to sync the folder 'Collections' and the file 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' to the folder on the NAS.
(This folder and file can be found in 'User/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC')
Because I do a sync, and not a simple copy that overwrites whatever has the same name, the most up-to-date files are copied and overwritten.
Then, I let Hazel run a script, again on both Mac's, to check between the local Adobe Bridge folder and the folder on the NAS to see if anything on the NAS is newer than on the local Adobe Bridge folder.
If so, then these files are copied from the NAS to the local Adobe Bridge folder, overwriting any existing file(s).
It is that plain simple, and it works for me because I have both Mac's set up in exactly the same way. This is important for syncing the Collections.
The Collections in Bridge are just plain XML files (e.g. collection.filelist) in which Bridge stores the name and path of a file in that collection.
In my case it means that any file in a collection has the same path on both Macs, as long as this file is on a NAS Share or inside my daily (local) work folder, which is synchronised between my Macs thanks to a very usefull NAS utility.
If you must deal with Macs that are not setup exactly the same (username, folder locations and names etc.), you'll have to edit the Collections file to match it.
And because these are XML files, a simple 'search&replace' might do the trick.
Bottom Line:
The syncing works for me because of two identical configured Macs. If this is not the case, then the syncing of Collections can be very hard and time consuming (changing pathnames).
Syncing of the Keywords or even a Bridge Workspace should be no problem, because there is no pathname or whatever stored in these files.
I hope someone benefits form my findings.

File-SOAP-File Async/Sync Bridge : Null Pointer Exception

Hi All,
I have a File-SOAP-File scenario (Async/Sync Bridge). This scenario was working fine in PI 7.0. However since the time we have upgraded to PI 7.1, this scenario has been failing.
I do receive a response for web service, however the sender File adapter fails after initiating Response bean.

Hi,
Please go through all the settings for the modules once again - check for any space or other such character present or if some name is not correctly specified.
If you still get the error, then make some change to the channel and re-activate.
Also, make sure you are following the below sequence in the sender file channel-
ModuleName                                                   Type              ModuleKey
AF_Modules/RequestResponseBean      Local Enterprise Bean     1
CallSapAdapter                                        Local Enterprise Bean     2
AF_Modules/ResponseOnewayBean     Local Enterprise Bean     3
Parameters

Is there Async-Sync bridge in BPM

Hi ,
I am trying this scenario in ccBPM(PI7.10
JMS(Async)>MDM(Sync)>SAP(Sync)
The reason I cant use it without BPM is that message in JMS is needed in SAP step.I am not sure of messages can be persisted without a ccBPM.
When I give receive step as Async,in next send (Sync call) ,I cant see any Syn Abstract interfaces even though i have declared one.Only Asyn abstract interfaces appear to chose container element as abstract type.
In what way can I specify Aysn-Sync bridge in ccBPM ?
Regards,
Premjit

the async / sync scenarios can be configured via two options;

JDBC Async-Sync bridge does not work

Hi folks.
I read the how to guide How To Realize a sync-async and async-sync bridge within the Adapter Framework and I found some tips at SDN (i.e File - RFC - File without a BPM - Possible from SP 19.) . So on, I created a scenario JDBC<=>SOAP.
My scenario:
1 JDBC adapter sends an async request to SOAP
2 SOAP creates an object in its system and then sends a sync confirmation response to the sender (async JDBC adapter Receiver)
Module Tab of JDBC Sender
Processing Sequence
AF_Modules/RequestResponseBean          1
CallSapAdapter                    2
AF_Modules/ResponseOnewayBean     3
Module Configuration
1 passThrough     true
3 adapterNamespace     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System
3 adapterType          JDBC
3 receiverChannel     JDBC_Object_Receiver
3 receiverService     Legacy_Service
The problem is the scenario works fine until an error is detected on communication channel (Receiver). Any kind of error, as communication problem, insert/update problem or procedure types problem. When this thing happens, communication channel (Sender) posts the next message and a persist error appears, like that
<SAP:Category>XIServer</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="PERSIST">MSGGUID_EXISTING</SAP:Code>
<SAP:Stack>Message ID XXXX for pipeline CENTRAL, version already exists in system</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>N</SAP:Retry>
After this, all the next messages remain at "Processing started".
This persist error message becomes constant in the system. It is executed once an hour approximately.
I have already tried solving this problem deleting the adapter and recreated it again, but the behavior remains the same.

Someone can help me?

Hey Rafael,
I've heard of ur problem by Carol Garcia.
I still think the problem was related to the fact that you were commiting the work at JDBC adapter, even though your DB (it was Oracle, right?) supports internal commit. I do aggree that this scenario should work for non-commiting DBs, though. Thus it is a bug, and the note is relevant.
Anyway, did you try to commit the work at DB side? I think it should have resolved your case (even though the bug would still exist, but it would not impact you).
Regards,
Henrique.

How do I import Bridge keywords and metadata to CS6 from CS4 so that I don't lose them if CS4 is not

I have hundreds of keywords and metadata including Ratings and Labels using CS4 and Bridge CS4.
It is time to replace my PPC Mac with a new Intel Mac.
I am going to install CS6 on the new Intel Mac without installing CS4.
By default.... this eliminates ALL keywords and ratings and labels from my Bridge browser. The keywords will still be present on the files but Not present in Bridge keywords list and all ratings and labels will be lost.
Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
The question then becomes.... can I aslo do this with CS6 without introducing an incompatibility?
1. incompatible due to CS6 application support.
2. incompatible due to transfer from a PPC (APM) to Intel (GUID).
This concern results from an Bridge CS4 export problem I experienced.
Bridge CS4 will export all of your keywords and you can import them from a text file but it has some odd troubles. (try it and you will see)
This does Not mean that CS6 has the same troubles.
What do I require to preserve existing metedata and keywords that exist on a PPC using CS4 and import them into CS6 using Intel?
Sound simple?
I doubt it.
The points are.
1. CS4 not installed.
2. CS4 source is PPC not Intel.
3. Ratings and Labels are metadata that Are Not part of the file metadata and unique to Bridge only.
4. Keyword Search and keyword Use requires that Bridge have keyword list, otherwise Finder is the far more useful browser and the new version of Bridge will require hours of keyword listing.
I don't want to spends hours retyping keywords lists in Bridge.

Ratings are NOT placed into the file under CS4 Bridge and neither are
Labels.
That depends on your file type and settings voor Camera Raw.
Like Curt stated usually metadata is written in to the file itself. Only Raw files can't be written to and by default they create a XMP file, also called Sidecar XMP files (and do have the same filename, only a different extension called .xmp). These files are also by default hidden in Bridge but If you use Bridge to move files they travel along with the original.
If you move or copy them using finder you have to be sure these XMP files are also copied with the originals to the new location.
Using the menu View / show hidden files should reveal the XMP files.
An other option for the Camera Raw prefs is to set metadata to the Camera Raw database instead of written to sidecar XMP files ( to my knowledge using sidecar files has been the default since about CS3).
Now here it becomes a bit tricky and I only can tell you my findings, not to be confused with true facts. (and mind you, it is at least 5 years ago I was on a PPC and not even remember which OSX 10 was able to work on it, I just present the acting of CS6 on an intel Mac Pro with OSX 10.7, but I don't believe the difference in location is that much)
Having written the Metadata to the Camera Raw Database your image settings get written to a file in the user library preferences folder called logically "Adobe Camera Raw Database". But also some info gets added to the Camera Raw Cache folder (User library / Caches/ Adobe Camera Raw) in a file called index.dat.
Also not having set metadata to xmp sidecars stores the ACR settings in a new .dat file with a unique number (not to be traced as a corresponding filename. And also the default maximum is set to 1 GB of space and when full the oldest files are overwritten with the new ones.
Personally I use converted DNG files that are capable of writing metadata to so all info and settings are in the file itself and I don't need to bother about central storage that can get lost. The downside is that changes to a DNG need to save the whole file instead of a small xmp file and probably reading cache takes more time then getting info from central storage but I like to be on the safe side and speed is not really needed to be nailed down to split seconds in my workflow.
Keywords are stored as a file in the Bridge preferences but Like Curt already stated exporting the old list first and then via the same route import again to CS6 should solve your problem and they will be back as persistent, otherwise the files in the content window show as italic and sadly enough have to be made persistent one by one with right click mouse menu, so that is not really an option for you.
Exporting the list does create a text file that can also be altered manually with a simple text app and as said, again be imported in newer versions as Curt described earlier.
Making a copy of Bridge CS4 metadata to another computer is quite simple.
Simply copy All of the Bridge CS4 application support folder to the other computer.
Well, in fact it is true to call copying this folders a simple task but replacing the existing new CS6 would not be my method. The biggest change for Bridge CS6 was the transition to 64 bit and I lack the knowledge for this but also cache format for thumbs and previews has been different for every version.
But if you have located the CS4 folder for Bridge in your PPC user library / application support / Adobe / Bridge CS4 you should find a file called 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' and it is fairly safe to replace this CS4 version with the new CS6 version.
Also custom settings for the output module can be copied (however to my memory the option for custom settings in Output where introduced in CS5) and collections can be copied.
So for your keywords the copy option might work, rating and labeling for Raw files they will be read in CS6 if they are stored as XMP. ACR settings idem but CS6 ACR has a new (2012) conversion mode that has different settings that do not work with previous settings (unless you first choose to use the 2010 conversion as default Raw setting.
If it is in the Central Data Base I would start trying to replace the CS4 with the CS6 edition (after back up of existing CS6 version) and see what happens. If it works your out of trouble.
You can also open the Camera raw Database as a text file but there is a lot of data in. Maybe scripting would be able to reveal those data and transfer to XMP but you have to visit the dedicated Scripting forum for this.
And while you state to have not installed CS4 anymore it might be wise to reinstall it (but first make a proper back up of the previous mentioned folders and files to be on the save side.
This gives you the opportunity to export keywords properly and if needed you can use Show Items from subfolders option with filter and set preferences to XMP sidecar to refresh the rating and labels to those XMP files. Just an escape route that might not be as painstakingly as it looks at first sight, just use the options for Bridge to filter.

Proxy-Soap-Jdbc Async/Sync Bridge

Hi,
I have proxy soap requestsoap response-jdbc syncronous scenario. i have used async/Sync bridge for that.
I m getting NO_RECEIVER_CASE_ASYNC, No receiver could be determined error.
I have created :
2 Datatype for proxy sender and jdbc receiver and 2 MT
6 Service interface :
        one abastract syncronous for proxy sender and jdbc receiver
        one abstract asyncronus for proxy sender
        one outbound asyncrous for proxy sender
        one abstract asyncronus for jdbc receiver
        one inbound asysncronus for jdbc receiver
        one abstract syncronous for SOAP request and response
2 message mapping for request and response
1 operation mapping using abastract syncronous for proxy sender and jdbc receiver with   abstract syncronous for SOAP request and response
BPM steps
two container request and response
receiver- send1- send2
receiver for asyncrous and file request
send1 for syncrouns for request and response
send2 for asyncrouns response.
Activated the IR.
ID Part.
Imported BPM from Design and created two business component one for SOAP receiver and one for proxy sender and jdbc receiver.
Created 3 Reciver Determination as proxy sender to bpm, bpm to soap, bpm to jdbc receiver.
Created 3 IInterface Determination as proxy sender to bpm, bpm to soap, bpm to jdbc receiver.
Created 2 Receiver Agreement as bpm to soap, bpm to jdbc receiver
Activated and run the proxy . in sxmb_moni i m getthing No receiver could be determined error.
I have checked the BPM ,No semantic errors found.
cleared the cache with sxi_cache and full refresh url.
Please suggest me with above details.
Regards
Laxmi Bhushan Jha

like in operation mapping we have abstract syncronous interface which has proxy as sender and jdbc as response
receiver to SOAP reuest and response...
Either of us seem to be confused!
This is your scenario (as per my understanding)
Receive (Proxy_message) --> Transformation --> Send (Mode = Sync...SOAP message) --> Transformation --> Send (mode = Async..JDBC req)
If the requirement is correctly understood by me then:
You should have one ASYNC-Outbound and ASYNC-Abstract interface for your Proxy-side.....proxy to be developed on the ASYNC-Out interface.
You should have a SYNC-ABS and SYNC-IN interface for SOAP req and resp.
You should have one ASYNC-IN and ASYNC-ABS interface for your JDBC side.
Mapping to be developed between PROXY_Async and SOAP_Req_Async & SOAP_Resp_Async and JDBC_Async.

Abhishek.

Problem with JMS Correlation i Async/Sync bridge

This is my scenario:
Im receiving a request message from the JMS-adapter and forward this via a async/sync bridge to CRM. Im using a synchronous proxy in CRM. I want to send the response from this proxy back to MQ via the JMS adapter and put my original JMS Message ID in the JMS Correlation ID in the response message.
Ive read about how to configure this in the pdf-document How to Correlate JMS messages.
I did as suggested and that is as follows.
1.     In my receiver channel I set the Correlation Setting Set XI Conversation ID To=JMSMessageID.
2.     In my integration process (async/sync-bridge) I set the Conversation ID in my async send step to the Conversation ID of my request message.
3.     In my sender channel I set the Correlation Setting Set JMSCorrelationID To=XI Conversation ID.
When I test my scenario I get the following error:
New JMS message cannot be correlated with the XI message although it is configured. Unable to set because correlation value is null. Correlation rule: XI_CONVERSATIONID, correlated property: JMSCorrelationID
I thought that my Conversation ID should carry the value of my initial JMS Message ID. I know that this is not null.
Can somebody please help me?
Kind regards.
/Helé

Hi Wallace,
I tried to set the Conversation ID to the Correlation ID instead but I still get the same error.
The sending application needs to correlate the request message with the corresponding response and since we are using MQ this is the way to do it.

Async-Sync Bridge without BPM for SOAP WS and JDBC

I heard you can now have async-sync communication outside of BPM by utilizing adapter modules?
My scenarios are:
proxy (async) -> SOAP WS (sync)
proxy (async) -> JDBC (sync)
I will like to capture the synchronous responses in XI and perform some basic error handling.
I read h[File - RFC - File without a BPM - Possible from SP 19.|File - RFC - File without a BPM - Possible from SP 19.] and the release notes for 2004s SP19 and there is no reference to JDBC or SOAP.

Async Sync Bridge without BPM (Proxy-Soap-Idoc)

Hi,
I have read some blogs how to do the Async Sync Bridge without BPM for JMS adapters. I have a requirement that I am getting a Async Proxy message to PI and then PI makes Sync Soap call then the result need to send through the Idoc adapter.
Proxy - Soap- Idoc
Here Proxy is a sender so no adapter required in the Config and also Soap is java based adapter and Idoc adapter is a ABAP based so I am not sure this is possible but I just wanted to check with you.
Please let know if this is possible or not?
PI 7.1 with EHP1
Thanks,
Laxman

The mapping programm can be defined as a user defined function. As sample of mine is "getGoogle()", which is doing some kind of address validation. The input parameter URL[0] contains source address. For that you need to import:
org.apache.commons.logging.*;
org.w3c.dom.*;
javax.xml.parsers.*;
org.xml.sax.SAXException;
org.apache.commons.httpclient.*;
org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*;
org.apache.commons.codec.*;
org.apache.log4j.*;
Example code for UDF "getGoogle()" is:
String sUrl = "http://maps.google.de/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=" + URL[0] + "&sensor=false";
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
GetMethod method = new GetMethod(sUrl);
byte[] responseBody = null;
    try {
//      int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
//      byte[] responseBody = method.getResponseBody();
//     result.addValue(new String(responseBody));
String sResponse = "initial";
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
responseBody = method.getResponseBody();
ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(responseBody);
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(bis);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
NodeList nodeLst = doc.getElementsByTagName("formatted_address");
Node formAdr = nodeLst.item(0);
NodeList nlFormAdr = formAdr.getChildNodes();
sResponse = ((Node) nlFormAdr.item(0)).getNodeValue();
      // Deal with the response.
    result.addValue(sResponse);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      result.addValue(e.toString() + "######## exhrenda - googleResponse:############### URL=" + sUrl+"###########"+new String(responseBody));
    } finally {
      // Release the connection.
      method.releaseConnection();

Sync/Async and Async/Sync Bridge in JMS Adapter

Hi,
I have scenarios using both the Sync/Async and the Async/Sync Bridge in the JMS Adapter. In general this works fine. There is just one thing that caught my attention.
In the Sync/Async Bridge, the correlation in JMS is done
JMS Message ID of Reqeust --> JMS Correlation ID of Response
In the Async/Sync Bridge, it is done
JMS Correlation ID of Request --> JMS Correlation ID of Response
which seems strange as I would have expected to work the same for both ways...
I'm following exactly the setup described in the 'How-to correlate JMS' guide.
Has anybody experienced the same thing or am I missing something important here?
thanks for your help
regards,
Peter

Hi,
If I get it right the MQ queue gives a response message back to XI. The message looks okay on MQ queue, but in XI it's empty.
So I guess the problem must be within the channel that picks it from MQ queue. Did you configure any modules in it that might screw up the content? Is the the message empty as soon as it arrives in XI adapter engine? Pls. check in RWB Monitoring or End-to-End monitoring.
Do you have other channels that pick up messages from that or another MQ queue which do not show such an error? Are they configured exactly the same way?
Regards,
Kai

Alerts and Error handling in BPM Async/Sync Bridge

Hello All,
I am developing an Async/Sync Bridge in BPM for sending a request from ECC webservice asychronously to a front end application synchronously using BPM Async/Sync Bridge. I get a response from the front end to PI and stays there.
It wont be send back to ECC. What are the possibilities of error handling required in this type of scenario.
Thanks
Deno

. I get a response from the front end to PI and stays there.
Then it should mean that the BPM design is faulty...did you have a send step at the end which closes the Async-Sync Bridge by sending the message to original sender?
In SXMB_MONI --> For BPM message processing there will be a link called PE...click it...check the graphic workflow...see till where the message has processed.
error handling
include your Sync send step whithin a Block....this block will have an Exception Branch....in this exception branch you can have your Exception handling logic...like raise alert, cancel process etc.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Async/Sync Bridge with SOAP response

Hi All
I have a interface that uses BPM for async/sync bridge(SOAP->RFC->IDOC). I now need to change this to send response back to he webservice.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?

avoid the BPM.
just do a simple SOAP to RFC scenario here - Walkthrough - SOAP XI RFC/BAPI
