Trigger BPM manually

Hello,
is there any way to trigger a BPM process manually? Right now it's running every 5 minutes defined by an AutoABAP parameter.
Background: I'm trying to write a custom Monitoring Object using the User Exit and don't want to wait 5 Minutes every time I need to test it.
Any help is highly appreciated.

well you could listen for the Click event on the menubar and
then when you get it, simply call the same function that is called
when you click the menu item. This means that the menu item Click
handler will have to also call this function, i.e. you cant have
the code in the event handler.
I hope that helps.

How to trigger BPM Process from SRM Portal

Hello Experts,
I'am new to BPM and NWDS 7.3 but experienced with Abap and NWDS 7.0 Development...
Before posting, i have been through the forum and couldn't find exact answer to my case..
Basicly what i need to do is to trigger BPM Processes on the BPM Server from SRM Portal Server, I'm aware that i can communicate between these servers with WSDL basicly but how am i going to call the BPM Process' Web Service from Standart SRM Processes?
These processes will be standart ones mostly and also i am new to SRM.
Kindest Regards,

SAP SRM 7.0 user interface is developed in WebDynpro and runs on NetWeaver Portal (Portal was optional component in earlier versions of SRM but it is mandatory component now). So in order to call BPM Webservice (i.e., to trigger a BPM Process) from NetWeaver Portal / SRM 7.0 you can do the following
- Develop a custom application (using EJBs,etc) to call the BPM web service by creating a web service proxy client using NWDS and then deploying it on Portal Server.
- Directly create a model in WebDynpro project by using the WSDL of BPM trigger webservice (using NWDS). You can then call the model in WD User Interface, which in turn will invoke the BPM web service and start the process.
Hope this helps.

Unable to Trigger BPM Process from ECC --- Need Help

Hi All,
I have created a BPM and exposed the Process as a web service. Now when ECC team is trying to trigger the BPM through the provided Web Service, they are getting the below error.
Issue is that the messages fails in ECC with the Status u201CSystem Erroru201D and this is due to reason below :
"The RM Source endpoint requests this acknowledgement by including an
<AckRequested> header block in the message. An RM Destination that
receives a message that contains an <AckRequested> header block MUST
respond with a message containing a <SequenceAcknowledgement> header
block" (Web Services Reliable Messaging Protocol 1.0).
Below is the structure of WSDL I gave to the ECC team.

Trigger BPM Process

Hello
Is there any documentation available as to what are the different ways a BPM Process can be triggered ( like web service, WD4A, VC, etc .. ?
I am triggering teh Process through configuration management and that looks very techie when giving a demo to a client.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Bhavin

Hi Bhavin,
You may define a service interface for the start event of your process using whic you can trigger the process through a WS. For detailed steps on how to do it, refer to my blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15395. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Also refer to the BPM Troubleshooting Guide for the standard documentation links for most common issues.
Hope this helps!!

Trigger BPM without Abap Proxy

Hi there,
my scenario:
BPM (XI)-> JDBC -> IDOC
is it possible to fire an event on the intergration server for starting the xi bpm ?
abap proxy is not the solution because my webas is only configured as an integration server.
thanks
sebastian

Hi,
is it possible to trigger the bpm with a async message ?
rfc is a sync call. because some async steps (idoc, aleaud) in the bpm a rfc call
as trigger would block a dialog process at the appl server for a several time.

Trigger BPM from Other BPM

Hi, how can I do to trigger an X BPM from other Y BPM, I tried just sending the same message that start BPM X from BPM Y but it doesn't allow me?
Any Ideas on how to do this?
Regards,
Pablo

Hi,
>>Should the sender interface from BPM X be the same as the receiving interface in BPM Y?
Yes. Use the same Abstract Sync interface in the send step of BPM X and Receive step of BPM Y.
>>do I have to use the SynAsyn Bridge at all or is this something different?
Yes. You have to open S/A bridge in the receive step of the BPM Y.
Thanks,

Trigger BPM from R3 workflow

Hello @all,
i have the following idea of scenario: After creating a quality notification (QN) in R3 a BPM on XI-server should start, getting the BO of the QN.
My question is how can the workflow in R3 start the BP in XI and also how to send the BO from workflow in R3 to the BPM in XI?
In my opinion there are 2 main possibilities to communicate:
1. IDoc
2. SOAP
I would be happy about a step by step solution on both or even more solutions (maybe with comments or advantages and disadvantages).
Thanks in advance
Chris

Hi Henrique,
thx for your quick answer, some questions concerning your answer:
1. the R/3 is version 4.7 on the WebAS 620; if it is ECC i don't know exactly, is it necessary?
2. are there any advantages if you compare the technologies each other (RFC/IDoc vs Proxy/WS)? What would you recommend, cause for the BO quality notification i have less BAPIs and RFC possibilities.
3. How should I start with Proxies and Webservices? Do you have a a step by step solution for a similar scenario?!?
4. Just that I understand it right my Webservice should be the IP that receives the BO in XI. And the generated proxy plays the role of the Webservice Client triggering the IP?
5. I don't get the point how to make use of the ABAP proxy if my initiator is a step of the workflow in R3?
Greetings
Chris

Is it possible to automatically trigger a Manual Journal Entry?

Hi Forum,
This could apply to any situation:
Suppose when I create an A/R invoice, I would like another manual journal entry to be created automatically. Is this possible and how could it be achieved?
Thank you.

Hi Mahendra and Gordon:
This is the situation:
Relates to DropShip Order:
1.Client create DropShip Sales Order (against drop ship warehouse).
2. DropShip Sales Order generates PO (Note no liability accounts are hit)
3. Client wants to invoice their drop ship customer immediately by emailing A/R invoice.
This mean the revenue accounts are already hit and our client has registered a revenue.
Problem : However liability accounts are not hit and our client may not receive A/P invoice for say 2 weeks. This means the books show exagerated revenue.
I suggested - A/P reserve invoice to be created immediately, but it needs to be canceled which leaves original PO in closed state in 8.8.
Second method I suggested to create a manual journal entry to hit deferred liability account to be reversed in two weeks. The client says, this is backoffice job and they do not want them to have access to journal entries.
In anycase, whatever reason, our client will change business practice, however, I thought let me check what it takes to create manual deferred liability auto reversal entry automatically.
Is there any other way to handle this situation?
Thanks.
Edited by: Syed Aleem on Jun 24, 2011 3:13 PM
As soon as A/R invoice is created, a deferred payable needs to be updated also automatically at the same time. This is the requirement.

Trigger menuEvent manually

I have a mx:MenuBar with several menu options. I also have a
toolbar with icons. My problem is that when i click a toolbar icon
i want to check one of the menu items in the menu. How can I

well you could listen for the Click event on the menubar and
then when you get it, simply call the same function that is called
when you click the menu item. This means that the menu item Click
handler will have to also call this function, i.e. you cant have

Can "trigger" management be addressed in the data modeler?

Please add an easier way to add/modify triggers.
I reverse-engineered my model into the data modeler and my triggers all migrated correctly to the model but, for the life of me, had no idea how to view, modify or create triggers. After extensive research, I found that they can be accessed in the left-hand Browser by drilling some 8 levels to view the triggers for each table - why? Why can't this functionality be added to properties context menu for the table. I'm not a big advocate for triggers but if I need to work on one, the current methodology is tedious at best.
Of course, if there's some other way to do this, please inform...
Accessing Triggers via the Browser
Design -> Relational Model -> APEX_DEMO -> Physical Model -> Oracle Database 11g -> Tables -> ACTIVITY_LOG -> Triggers

Thanks Joop and Phillip...
While I occasionally use SQL Developer, I currently use PL/SQL Developer (Allround Automations) as my development tool of choice and bringing a 3rd tool as SQL Developer into the mix, makes no sense to me.
I completely agree that managing a trigger via a development tool is much easier but one occasionally wants to quickly add a trigger either manually or via a template and this is not easy currently.
While functions, procedures, package, etc. are all important to a data model, the existence of most triggers are completely dependent on a table and are a critical component in any model that uses them. The ability to access and modify them easily in Data Modeler is important and shouldn't be an afterthought as is perceived here. If trigger access cannot be added to the Table Properties (as noted in the image below), at the very least, please provide a shortcut methodology to do so.

BPM to BPM call without PI

Hi Experts,
We are working on PO 7.4 single stack.
We want to trigger BPM process from another BPM process without involving PI.
As we have huge data and multiple calls to different BPM process via PI.
Any pointers on this would be helpful.

Implement the process as you normally would. Import the WSDL for the service call to start the process. Use the same WDSL in the start event of the sub process and the automated task that calls the sub process. Make sure that the Service Reference for this Web Service is of type WS. Then configure the Service Group to call the system that should run the child process. If both processes should run on the same system choose local system for the Service Group.
Bottom Line: Implement everything as you're used to. Use a Service Reference of type WS and configure the Service Group accordingly in NWA.

Start bpm process with attachment or note

Hi All
Is there any way to start BPM process and add attachment or note to it.
My client requirement is that when the process is started requester should be able to add file or note.
This note or file should be visible in UWL task (in section attachments or notes)
Is there any way to do it using standard.
I know that I can store note in context of BPM process but customer is really pushing for standard.
Regards

Not sure if the requester is in BPM or outside BPM.
You can do this by keeping requester in BPM i.e. trigger BPM and give requester a task. (Dont think its preferred design).
In UWL you can let user add a memo or attachment... Refer below doc

BPM from (externally recorded) Midi recorded drums at incorrect tempo when importing into Logic?

Hey there
Yesterday I recorded midi drums to a click track for a song into my iPhone using an IK Multimedia iRig Midi.
I had the click track playing from my iPod (that I had recorded as an mp3 at 148pm) and I recorded the drum beat for the whole song at 148bpm into my iPhone using the iRig Midi Recorder app.
I exported the file from my iPhone to my Mac.
Just to note:
When I play the file through QuickTime it plays fine at 148bpm OK.
If I import the midi file into iTunes, iTunes plays it at 148bpm, and even if I convert it to an mp3 using iTunes, iTunes STILL plays it at 148bpm.
So, if I right mouse click the .midi file>open with Logic
It opens in Logic (With the project set to 120bpm) and the midi track plays at 148bpm, with the metronome playing at 120bpm.
If I then change the BPM of the project to 148bpm, it then changes the BPM of the midi drum file to 183bpm, with the metronome playing at 148bpm.
So, I've tried it another way
Create a new Logic project, set the BPM to 148bpm, then IMPORT the .midi file.
But the midi track plays at 183bpm, with the metronome playing at 148bpm.
So there still the same problem.
I NEED this to line up perfectly with the click track at 148bpm, otherwise I many as well just recorded it live and not to click.
Any suggestions on whats going on here, because something isn't right.
Thanks

Just to note
Ive tested the bpm of the song using a little program called VOX (from the exported iTunes mp3 file) and Vox states its 91.51bpm (Making it 183.02 bpm in my mind)
(I initially tested the bpm manually using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm, so I'm not bad only being 0.02 bpm out)
I've had just tried the following but its still not right.
I imported the midi track into Garageband and set the project initially (Before importing) to 183bpm and assumed I could just then change the projects bpm to 148bpm.
This doesnt work either.
Upon import of the midi file to GB with the project set at 183bpm, it then plays the midi drum file at approx 227bpm. So its actually sped it up. (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm )
If I take the projects BPM down to 148bpm, it then plays it at 182bpm (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm )
If I take the projects BPM down to 120bpm, it then plays it at 148bpm (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm ). Ah-ha! You might think, so thats fine. Well, yes it plays the drum beat at approx 148bpm, BUT the system still thinks its 120BPM, so it wont line up to the click track at all.
I NEED this to line up perfectyly with the click track of 148bpm, otherwise I many as well just recorded it live and not to click.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Need to trigger workflow after g/l document posted in FB50

Hi all
When a user posts a document in FB50 (G/L journal entry), I need it to trigger a workflow. I can find BTE's that come in to play before the document number is assigned, but I need it triggered after the document number is assigned. I tried BTE processes 1120 and 1140 but they're too early. I also looked at many function modules and user exits suggested by various SDN threads but nothing seems to be triggering.
I already have a workflow created using BO BKPF and can trigger it manually, but not through FB50. There's lots of info on BO FIPP, but I'm looking at posted documents, not parked documents. Tracing FB50 with SWELS/SWEL doesn't show anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ron

Hi Ronald,
If you are using ECC 6.0 try to look explicit enhancement, that is kernel BADI (key words: GET BADI and ENHANCEMENT). If there is none also then use implicit enhancement. Implicit enhancement is always available at the beginning and the end of Function Module, Routines, Program, Methods, etc.

BPM - Save as draft

Hi Experts,
Customer creation in MDM using Webdynpro Java UI, Webservice and BPM for approval process.
Scenario -"Save as Draft" :
Requestor fills in the form and save it as draft. Draft requested are accessed again through uwl inbox.
We are planning to create BPM Workflow and store the data in BPM context.
Experts, Is there is any other best approach for the above scenario
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Arun

HI Arun,
You can create a seperate table for holding the Draft data which have a column say STATUS. When ever user do 'Save as Draft' update the table with STATUS value say 'D'(Draft).
When user open a Request Form let the Draft table be shown first(if there is any rows in the draft table for the respective user with STATUS='D') where the user is given an option to work on the existing draft item or create a new Request. On submission of the form first set STATUS column value to say 'S'(Submitted), then trigger BPM Approval workflow. If you are putting too many data in BPM context , as John told it will affect the performance.

Unni
