Transformation Abstract interface

Hello , i am using a message transformation step in BPM where msg 1 thats input for this map is xml and output is being mapped to a IDOC.
Now since in BPM i have to use abstract interfaces and how can i relate this abstract interface in transformation step with the IDOC. Can i create the abstract interface and then relate it to IDOC and use it in BPM ?
Krishna

Hi Krishna ,
in message mapping just - drag and drop - the IDOC_type from your node "imported objects"
Thats all.

Copy value of container (abstract interface) to an other container

Hello,
Is it possible to copy the value of an container (abstract interface) in BPM to an other container (abstract interface)?
Thanks and regards
Verena

Hi Verena,
If you have the entire msg that you want to want in a container then you can probably use APPEND in container operation.
But if your msg is a part of an intermediate strucure like the one i showed in my previous posts, then you Have to use Mapping in a BPM Transformation step for the simple reason that you cannot change a message by using a container operation.

Regarding Abstract Interface

Hello,
What makes the difference between the Normal Interfaces and Abstract Interfaces. Is there any technical differences between these two interfaces.
Thank you

Hi,
You use a message interface to describe a platform-independent or programming-language-independent interface, which you want to use to exchange messages between application components using SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
When you create a message interface you define the communication parameters by using the attributes Mode and Category as Sync/Async, Inbound/Outbound or Abstract.
Message interfaces of this category can perform the role of an inbound or outbound interface within integration processes, depending on whether it is used to send or receive a message. For this reason, no direction is specified during definition. In integration processes, you can use the same abstract interface to receive and send a message. Abstract message interfaces generally receive the message from an outbound interface of a sender system and send it to an inbound interface of a receiver system, thus performing a complementary role.
BPM can interact and deal with only Abstract Interfaces. And so, if you have a transformation step inside the BPM , the source and target interface will have to be abstract interfaces.
These characteristics determine the direction of an interface:
· An outbound interface sends a request message that is only used to make a communication party aware of data sent, without waiting for a response message. In the case of the latter, we also refer to publishing interfaces.
· An inbound interface receives a request message that you reply to with a direct response message or whose data you can process in the system without a response.

Map simple variable to an abstract interface in BPM

I'm using a Simple Variable to count all messages comming through a BPM.
I want to use this Simple Variable's value in a Abstract Interface.
Does anyone know how to map Simple Variables to Abstract Messages?
A transformation needs a mapping, and a mapping cannot use a Simple Variable as input. The container operation need the same structure at both sides.
Kind regards,
Christiaan Schaake.

Hi,
Did you figure this out? If so, could you please share how you may have done this.
Thx

ABSTRACT INTERFACE

Hi,
I'm doing file to file scenario with BPM's ... in ABSTRACT INTEFACE wich message type we need to select.. Whether Sender Message type or Receiver message type.. which one we need to select..
and if i have two sender files.. and one reciver file.. then how many message mappings and how many inteface mappings i need to create... in the BPM scenario
thansk
Babu

i,
Seems you are having some problem.
The entire scenario goes lyk this. Do the process in the same sequence
1st source sender
Data type (1)
Message type(1)
Outbound message interface (category outbound, mode asynchronous)(1)
Abstract message interface (category abstract, mode asynchronous) (1)
2nd source sender
Data type (1)
Message type(1)
Outbound message interface (category outbound, mode asynchronous)(1)
** Copy the message type to the 1st source
Receiver / target
Data type (1)
Message type(1)
Outbound message interface (category outbound, mode asynchronous)(1)
** Copy the message type to the 1st source.
Back to 1st source system
Abstract message interface (category abstract, mode asynchronous) (1)
**refering to 2nd source message type that was copied to the first source.
Abstract message interface (category abstract, mode asynchronous) (1)
**refering to target message type that was copied to the 1st courceNow totally you will have 3 abstract interfaces in the 1st source system.
Define message mapping (n:1) in the 1st source system. ( between 1source message typ + 2nd copied source message type to target )
Define 1 interface mapping and specify the message mapping program. (2 source interfaces -> 1 target interface)
Bpm
start -> rec 1 -> rec 2 -> transformation step -> send -> stop
rec1 -> refers to 1st source abstract interface
rec2 -> refers to 2nd source abstract interface
send -> refers to target abstract interface
Give it a try. Any issues post bak
Cheers,

Abstract Interface and BPM

If I have a Transformation step in my BPM, whether it is necessary to have the Source and Target Message Interface to be ABSTRACT?
Thanks

Mohini,
Absolutley. BPM can interact and deal with only Abstract Interfaces. And so, if you have a transformation step inside the BPM , the source and target interface will have to be abstract interfaces.
The interface mapping will be between Abs Interfaces in the IR.

Container operations and abstract interfaces

Hi
At first, could somebody maybe refer to blogs about how to exploit fault messages in BPM? (how to generate an fault response when a exception is thrown and handled)
As I could not find a fast way to see how fault messages work in BPM I tried to solve the problem the other way... but run into a problem again. The question is: is it possible to assign values to some elements in an abstract interface type container? Like put into the message a processing code, processing time or some other informative text.
In a more technical way: container operation allows only the whole container to be the target of the operation, while one can use any part of an container (of abstract interface) to use as the source of operation. Is it also possible to assign a value to a element in abstract interface?
Waiting for any ideas...

Hi
Thanks for Your answer. Still my question is unanswered. As You could read out from my question, I know that such a step exists but the problem is that target can be exactly one container. Its hard to make an example without too much of code samples.
I agree that if I have containers A and B then I can do:
A = B
But if A is of type abstract interface with structure:
rootNode
+ childNode1
+ anElement as xsd:string
+ childNode2
and B is a simple type then is it possible to do something like:
A:/rootNode/childNode1/anElement = B
As I don't want to change anything else in the response. Any ideas?
I need to do so because I am not able to throw fault messages as a synchronous interface response (first: there is no way to define fault type as abstract interface, second: send [close S/A bridge] step needs response message only).
Another way would be to replace response content by inserting fault information but as there is no way but message mappings (transformation step) to change the content of an abstract interface (is there?). It would be a very ugly solution - each fault in BPM shall have its own mapping that generates the whole message... and there would be other issues too.
Waiting for any ideas on how to solve the problem.
Any recomendations how to create a SOAP fault answer in BPM are also welcome!

Use of abstract interface

I have a series of questions....... Go through.
What is the use of abstract interface in java ?
What is the use of static object in java ?
What is the use of abstract key word to variables ?
Object reference passed to method are final. Can ' t we change it ?

class Testing {
     int i;
public class RefFinal {
   public static void f ( Testing t1, Testing t2) {
       Testing temp;
       temp=t1;
       t1=t2;
       t2=temp;
       System.out.println("value of i in t1 =" +t1.i);
       System.out.println("value of i in t2 =" +t2.i);
   public static void main( String args[]) {
      Testing t1 = new Testing();
      Testing t2 = new Testing();
      t1.i=10;
      t2.i=20;
      f(t1,t2);
      System.out.println("value of i in t1 =" +t1.i);
      System.out.println("value of i in t2 =" +t2.i);
}      Here the code explain why?

Difference between abstract interface and normal interface

Hello Friends,
What is the Difference between abstract interface and normal interface?....

What is the Difference between abstract interface and
normal interface?....The difference is that you didn't follow convention in the first case. All interfaces are implicitly abstract so you don't have to declare them as such.

BPM, abstract interface unavailable

Hello,
I want to build a business process. Therefore I need some container elements. One container element has the type abstract interface. The message interface is defined in some namespace of some software component. But unfortunately I can't select this message interface in the dialog. Of course I have already activated my change list. I also refreshed the CPA cache, but this doesn't help a lot. What can I do in order to see this abstract interface.
Thank you very much,
Oliver

Hallo Oliver,
XI currently only allows BPM to use interfaces within the same software component or within a software component with which you have a based on relationship defined.
I think, that this does not make too much sense, but that's the answer we got to an according OSS message.
Best Regards
Christine

BPM Abstract Interface for IDOC?

Hi all,
I am doing an IDOC XI File scenario with BPM.
I have created an Inbound Asynchronous and an Abstract Interface for the LEGACY SYSTEM(Target Message).
I didn't create any Abstract interface for the IDOC(Source message).
I am getting this error:
"Expression must return the interface type DEBMAS.DEBMAS06.DEBMAS06".
Do I need to create an Abstarct Interface for the IDOC?
According to the above error, BPM is expecting an ABSTRACT INTERFACE Type for the IDOC.
Experts need help from you.
Thank you,
Joslyn.

That mapping is an dummy mapping between Idoc to Abstract Idoc Type. Here Sender Idoc Interface is mapped with Reciever Abstract Idoc interface.
So inside the BPM, Abstract Idoc interface acts as a Container variable to collect the idocs.
For simplicity-for collection of idocs
You can see, BPMPatterns from the SAP BASIS Software Component in your XI Repository.

What is a "Abstract Interface" ?

According to JavaDoc, <code>HttpSession</code> is described as
public abstract interface HttpSession.
What is an "abstract interface" ?

All interface's are implicitly abstract so declaring an interface abstract is a bit pointless.

Fortran 2003's abstract interface

Although the documentation for the 12.4 beta claims support for the ABSTRACT INTERFACE feature, it's not clear whether the support is full or partial. The following code fails to compile with sunf95:
module mod1
use iso_fortran_env
implicit none
abstract interface
pure function i_f(x)
real :: i_f
real, intent(IN) :: x
end function
end interface
contains
subroutine iterate(f, x, y)
procedure(i_f) :: f
real, intent(IN) :: x(:)
real, allocatable, intent(OUT) :: y(:)
integer :: i
allocate (y(SIZE(x)))
do i = 1, SIZE(y)
y(i) = f(x(i))
write (OUTPUT_UNIT, '("y(",I0,"): ",G0)') i, y(i)
enddo
end subroutine
pure function square(x) result(res)
real :: res
real, intent(IN) :: x
res = x ** 2
end function
end module mod1
use mod1
implicit none
integer :: i
real, allocatable :: x(:), y(:)
x = [real :: (i, i = 1, 10)]
call iterate(square, x, y)
end
The compiler assumes that the passed procedure is a subroutine ---i.e., it ignores the abstract interface.

This is a bug in the compiler. The problem is not in the abstract interface but in getting the interface from the host scope. To work around the problem, you can copy the abstract interface from the host scope to the local scope where it is used, like this:
subroutine iterate(f, x, y)
abstract interface
pure function i_f(x)
real :: i_f
real, intent(IN) :: x
end function
end interface
procedure(i_f) :: f
real, intent(IN) :: x(:)
real, allocatable, intent(OUT) :: y(:)
integer :: i
allocate (y(SIZE(x)))
do i = 1, SIZE(y)
y(i) = f(x(i))
write (OUTPUT_UNIT, '("y(",I0,"): ",G0)') i, y(i)
enddo
end subroutine
then the dummy procedure 'f' will be correctly identified as a function.

Can we have abstract interface

can we have abstract interface if so wats the significance of it?
plz give me an example

public abstract interface AbstractInterface {
}The compiler allows it, so you can have them. But as said it's redundant and discouraged.
