Synchronous RFC Receiver inside of a Loop in BPM

Hi there,
we have a RFC -> XI scenario where a BPM needs to receive messages from a RFC inside of a loop, to bundle these messages, just like the first example here: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/frameset.htm</a>.
But the problem is that the RFC is set as synchronous (best effort), thus we need to use a receiver in "Open S/A Bridge" mode, but this mode is not available for receivers inside a loop.
Actually, we have managed to get the scenario working by creating another BPM which just receives the RFC messages in a S/A Bridge, sends the asynchronous message to the main BPM and sends a response back to RFC, closing the S/A bridge. But I think this solution is kind of "messy".
Is there any other cleaner way of doing it?
Thanks in advance,
Henrique.

Hi Henrique,
Read this page carefully:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/d92e428819da2ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
"Do Not Transfer Application Logic
Do not use integration processes to transfer application logic from the application systems to the Integration Server.
No Replacement for Mass Interfaces
Check whether it would not be better to execute particular processing steps, for example, collecting messages, on the sender or receiver system."
I so recommend to rewrite the sending interface to collect the messages before sending.
Andother idea is sending the messages with an asynchronous call.

XI Scenario synchronous RFC (ABAP program) over XI to C program Receiver

Hi experts,
I have a synchronous RFC-Call between an SAP System (Sender) and an C-programm (Receiver). But now XI should become a part of this scenario.
Regarding this I have a few problems to include XI.
1. SENDER:
I have an abap application which calls a function module and send the data over synchronous RFC to XI.
e. g. call function 'FM_XYZ' DESTINATION 'RFC_SENDER'
        exporting PARAMETERS
        importing PARAMETERS
        changing TABLES.
Whis this part I have had no problems. But I have problems on my receiver side.
2. RECEIVER:
As receiver I have a server, where only a C-program starts a process and register the RFC Program on server side. The program is now waiting for requests. How can be called this C-Program on XI side.
So could anybody help me. Thank you.
Regards
Mario

Hi Ravi,
thanks for your fast reply.
In our current RFC Szenario (without XI)
1. In SAP side we have configured a TCP/IP connection
2. On C program side we start the C-program as follows:
We start a File which contains the name of c-program.exe RFC-Program-ID gateway. Then the RFC destination is registered on external Server side.
By using the Testing connection feature on SAP RFC (SM59) the RFC-connection works fine.
3. But now this scenario should be displaced by the XI scenario. Is it possible to use on receiver side a RFC-ADAPTER which calls an external RFC server.
Regards
Mario

Missed data JDBD Sender- RFC Receiver Scenario

Hello,
I simulated a JDBC synchronous scenario by developed a JDBC Sender-RFC Receiver Scenario to retrieve data from an Oracle Database and inside the RFC , ECC executed a Proxy-JDBC scenario to mark the retrieved items in the Oracle Database.
Sometimes, in my productive system, some of the items retreived from de JDBC sender seems to be missed. In TA sxmb_moni i saw the message from the JDBC sender channel but the ECC don´t send the message from de proxy request inside the RFC, wich means that RFC doesn´t execute. And a time after without any kind of action, the complete scenario work fine.
We found this trace log in the NWA stack :
"Catching com.sap.aii.af.service.cpa.CPAException: Couldn't retrieve outbound binding for the given P/S/A values: "
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mariluz,
Make a full CPACache refresh using the following url:
http://XIhost:port/CPACache/refresh?mode=delta
http://XIhost:port/CPACache/refresh?mode=full
note: use PIDIRUSER for refreshing CPA CACHE for the above uri's
Also Check the note #1057990 for more details
there might be other reason that below services might abruptly stop check this also:

RFC Receiver Adapter and RFC Destination -- Help

Hi,
I would like to configure the RFC Receiver Adapter for the invokation of a RFC on SAP System (Name: ALPHA) using a RFC destination provided by another system named BETA.
I have set External Server as server type.
My first question is: I have to quote an application server gateway and a gateway service. Is this information related to a service on ALPHA or BETA?
My second question is:
It is also necessary to provide a Programm-ID. The destination on BETA is a R/3 connection and doesn't have a programm id. Where do I get this from?
And my last question is:
Is at all possible to use the RFC destination on BETA?
Any help is really appreciated...
Kind regards,
Heiko

Hi Heiko,
I don't fully understand your need but:)
since both of your systems are SAP systems
why are you trying to use external server?
can't you just call RFC on BETA
and inside this RFC on beta call RFC on ALPHA?
in a sync or async way?
can you tell a little more about your requirement ?

michal

Synchronous RFC functions from XI

Please confirm my observations.
I wanted to call a synchronously RFC Function i.e. Importing some data and Exporting some reply.
The XI message monitor shows that the RFC adapter handles this call asynchronously i.e. QOS of EO and not BE as I would have expected.
Is this behaviour I observe correct and does this then imply that there is no way of calling RFC enabled Functions on SAP expecting anything back
Thanks
Andre

BPM synchronous RFC calls

I have two messages, one coming from SOAP and second one from JDBC adapter. I want to map this two messages to Single BAPI call. How do I go about doing this using BPM.

SSG,
1. You will have a fork with 2 branches with 2 receiver steps. One for the SOAP request and the other the JDBC sender adapter.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/24/e2283f2bbad036e10000000a114084/content.htm">Step Type - FORK</a>

2. Transformation Step -- N:1 mapping where the 2 source messages are mapped to the Single BAPI message.
3. Send Synchronous Step -- You will be sending the BAPI request message and getting the Response message.
You can use the <a href="/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit - File to RFC">File - RFC - File</a> blog as a template to see how synchronous RFC calls are made and then , you can get the RFC response and do the needful as per requirements.

Asynchronous RFC vs synchronous RFC

Hi Experts,
Can you give me what are the differences between asynchronous RFC and synchronous RFC?
thanks.
Moderator message : Not enough re-search before posting. Thread locked.
Edited by: Vinod Kumar on Jul 4, 2011 4:45 PM

Gabriel,
synchronous
the sender sends a request message to the receiver and waits for a response message.
for eg. consider a scenario.. where u have a customer no. and u need customer details.which is stored in R/3...so u can configure a HTTP to R/3 synchronous scenario... a http request will be sent to R/3 having a CUSTOMER NO....and in response u will get details of customer like...cust name,address, etc...
asynchronous
sender send a request message but doesn't wait for response.
for eg consider a file to file scenario .where u need to pick a file from a source location to a destinartion location....so...it will asynchronous interface
hope u r lil bit clear!!.

Open and close visa inside a while loop

Hi,
I need to read a position from a control unit device continuously or even by click a button, for this I have to put "visa configure serial port" and" "visa close" inside a while loop. Dose it make any problem?

You shouldn't need the VISA Event nodes. Get rid of those.
Why are you using Concatinate String just to build up a constant. Just create a single string constant. It is a lot cleaner.
Is the antenna constantly sending data to you or only when you request it?

How can I vary a PWM´s duty cycle inside a while loop?

Hi,
I'm using the "Generate Pulse Train.vi" to generate pwm signals in counters 0 and 1 in order to drive a DC motor both ways.
The problem is, I need to control the movement of the dc motor with my PI controller which is inside a while loop. I've tried letting the "generate pulse train.vi" outside the while loop, but the problem is, it only changes the value of the duty cycle when the loop is stopped. I also tried putting it inside the loop, but then it doesn't even work.
So, how can I vary a PWM´s duty cycle inside a while loop?
I'm attaching the VI with the PI controller.
Thanks for your help!
Guilherme

controleValvula.vi ‏332 KB

Here's some code I threw together a while back to change a duty cycle on the fly. It generates a fixed 5KHz or 25KHz frequency depending on laser selection, then allows duty cycle to be changed continously. Maybe you can use the premise of it for your application.

Can we place Analog in Read(AI-READ) Vi inside the while loop for high sample rate like 22ks/s?

I am using E-series Card for data acquisition.My requirement is to sample the channel, and check the 10 samples for certain condition.both at a time.What should be done can we place the AI-READ vi inside for or while loop for this purpose?

Hello,
Yes, you can include the AI Read.vi inside the while loop, you would just need to specify the number of scans to read for every iteration of the loop. Then, after AI Read.vi has read the data, you can do what ever kind of manipulation of the data you would like, before the next iteration of the loop. The one thing to watch out for is what ever manipulation of the data you do, be sure that it doesn't take to long whereas the buffer holding the data starts to back up. That can be checked by looking at the scan backlog output of the AI Read.vi, which will tell you how many scans have been acquired but haven't been read into your program.
Hope this helps!

SubVi with feedback nodes used more than once inside a While Loop

All,
I have a subvi that does a set of operations and uses 3 feedback nodes. I am using this subvi inside a While Loop a total of 4 times. I've noticed that all instances used share the same result at each corresponding feedback node but I would like to have an individual result from each of them. Is there an easy way to go around this problem? I have come up with ways to avoid this: a) create a different vi for each time the subvi was used. b) use global variables instead of feedback nodes. Is there any easier way to go around this issue?
ExamplePlease note that both subvi's are the same) If on my first subvi I calculate a maximum value and get 1.29 (then goes to feedback node) on my second subvi i get 1.01 my feedback node at the second subvi still registers the maximum value to be 1.29. (and I want it to be 1.01!)
Hope this is not too confusing, I've been scratching my head with this for a while, can't find the "easy" button. Thanks in advance.
-Pop
Im using 9.0.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Attaching the code would be helpful. Anyway, I am not sure how multiple feedback nodes are supposed to operate so I will defer that to others to answer. As far as being able to use distinct values or instances if you are using a subVI you could mark it as reentrant. That way each call to it will behave as it it were a copy of the VI and it will have its own memory space. This should include the feedback node. You may be ending up with a single subVI and in reality a single feedback node. If you need to pass data between calls than simply wire the data through. You could also use an Action Engine to store and retrieve values. An AE is a MUCH better solution than a global variable.

RFC Receiver Adapter Problem- Sending Blank XML Node

Hi,
I'm using the RFC receiver adapter to call a RFC in R/3 from XI 3.0
In the payload XML one node is blank as I want to pass a blank parameter to the RFC. But in R/3 the blank node is getting converted to #
Can anyone suggest how can I pass a blank node while calling the RFC using RFC receiver adapter in XI 3.0?
Thanks in advance,
Dipankar

Hey
Please check the outbound payload in sxmb_moni and RWB,if the field is blank there,then it means that PI is passing correct value to ECC.its possible that RFC has been coded in such a way that it converts blank spaces to #.Please look at RFC documentation in that case and see if it helps more.
If the outbound payload itself in PI is showing as # instead of blank,then check the message mapping in PI.
Thanx
Aamir
