Use of BPM for processing XML message

I have got a requirement for updating X-number and X- status into the SAP system from a non SAP system. I am getting the message which contains both these values in the form of xml and using HTTP and should be posted as 2 different IDOCs at the SAP system.
But the requirement is to post the X-number first and once it is updated X-status should be posted based on the number.
Assuming that X-number is available first and the status next in the non SAP system can we use BPM and if so how what needs to be done to make sure status doesnt update before number.

Hi,
Proceed as follows:
1) Receive the X-message
2) have a transformation step....and map only the x-number into the target IDOC
3) have a synchronous send step....why a sync send....because in that you can get the confirmation for success/failure of your x-number upload....this is only if you want a confirmation...this will make sure that your x-number is updated first.....
4) now if you do not want to have a response back then...have a transformation step to map the x-status to your IDOC...then have a async send step...
5)
a)If sync send used: then you can have a condition like check the status of upload of x-number and if successful then send the x-status.
b) if failure then you can resend the x-number message.
c) if async send then you can directly send your x-status message.
Steps 3, 5(a), 5(b) can be avoided if async commn is used. If you want that your BPM runs somewhat faster then you can avoid the transformation steps....instead you can use the mappings in the respective interface detemination.

Abhishek.

No show message in monitor for processed XML messages

Hi,
I get the document 'VALIDANTING A CONNECTION BETWEEN SAP R/3 AND SAP XI WITH RFC' and following the steps until step 9 it's ok but I can execute the step 10 I get 2 problem:
First Problem - I dont know where see the ABAP code STFC_CONNECTION, How do you know?
The Second Problem is the step 11 the system not show message and the documentation show message.
Please Help-me.
Any Ideas ?
Regards.
Mattos.

Hi, Ashish thanks for anwser my doubt.
So, the step 10 is "10. Refer to the following ABAP code snippet for executing the STFC_CONNECTION programmatically
instead of using the user interface shown above.
Call STFC_CONNECTION to send/receive request/response to/from XI***
DATA: v_msg_text(80) TYPE C. "Message text
CLEAR v_msg_text.
CALL FUNCTION 'STFC_CONNECTION'
DESTINATION 'XI'

communication_failure = 1 MESSAGE v_msg_text
system_failure = 2 MESSAGE v_msg_text.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
**Write your code here**
ELSE.
**Write your code here**
ENDIF."
and the setep eleven is "11. Check the Integration Engine monitor for the processed XML messages (SXMB_MONI):

But I not see messege in my Monitor.
Other doubt in step 5 the document order to create the RFC_Sender Communication Channel, this configuration have the parameters PROGRAM ID (mandatory), we dont have any idea what input there, Can you Help-me? How can find this parameters? in document we have the exemple INTEGRATION_SERVER.

Monitor for processed xml messages

Hi all experts,
I'm a newbie. My work duty is PI/XI trouble shooting, and it's difficult for me currently.
I input tcode:sxmb_moni, and list all errors. After I double click a Interface, I see any xml. Although I have some programmer experience, but I can't understand what it mean yet.
Who can tech me, or give me a reference link to study?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
For XI monitoring and Troubleshooting you should go through the couple documents available on SDN.
That will help to give the corrective direction.
In SXMB_MONI, when you will double click on the failed messages, you will see 4 sections.
1. Left-top section indicates the Request /Response of message
2. Left-bottom section will drilled down the reqest/Response tree to further indepth details.
3. Right-top section indicates the processing log of the message along with trace details.
4. Right-bottom section will be based on the left side topic selected from the tree structure.
(Initally you will get error details in case of failures.)

What is the payload structure has to be used for AQ to process XML messages.

Hi Experts,
We have an IBM MQ and Oracle AQ has to be be linked to that.
MQ always contains XML messages and same message will come to AQ.
Now I want to create AQ. What is the payload structure(object) has to be used for AQ to process XML messages.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Hello,
using XML type data in AQ you have to define a special AQ payload type
(corresponding to MQ): QUEUE_PAYLOAD_TYPE = 'SYS.MGW_BASIC_MSG_T'.
An example template for enqueueing looks like (you have to transform
from XMLTYPE to the MGW payload type):
DECLARE
   queue_options      DBMS_AQ.ENQUEUE_OPTIONS_T;
   message_properties DBMS_AQ.MESSAGE_PROPERTIES_T;
   message_id         RAW(16);
   v_message          SYS.XMLType;
   v_clob             CLOB;
   v_payload          SYS.MGW_BASIC_MSG_T;
   v_text_body
SYS.MGW_TEXT_VALUE_T;
BEGIN
   v_message      := SYS.XMLType.createXML('<SAMPLE>hello world</SAMPLE>');
   v_clob         := v_message.GETCLOBVAL();
   v_text_body    := SYS.MGW_TEXT_VALUE_T( NULL, v_clob );
   v_payload      := SYS.MGW_BASIC_MSG_T( v_header, v_text_body, NULL );
   DBMS_AQ.ENQUEUE( queue_name         => 'my_queue',
                    enqueue_options    => queue_options,
                    message_properties => message_properties,
                    payload            => v_payload,
                    msgid              => message_id);
END;

BPM for Processing Multiple records in a file

Hello All:
I using BPM to process Goods issue using BAPI BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. The BPM setps are as

Step 3 Send Sync Request to Bapi
Step 4 Transformation Map Bapi Response to file

The problem I am facing is although my file has 2 records of goods issue data (Header and Item data) , the BPM processes only one record (Header and Item) and creates a material doc in SAP and outputs a file with the material doc number as above. Ideally I would like the XI system to process both the records and produce 2 material docs as output .
Also my input file adapter has been picking up both the records as this is visible in the SXMB_MONITOR logs.
Do I need to introduce a loop in the BPM ?. If so can any can any body give me an example or point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks
TBH

Udo:
<b>you need a mapping splitting one message with multiple entries into multiple messages with one entry, which you put into a multiple line BPM container.</b>
Are you implying loop Step 1 Receive Request from Asyn File Interface and collect them into a multiline container ?. How does the loop know how many times to loop.
Would appreciate your comments

Problem in JAXB for processing XML files

hello
I have been working on a project where i need to process data in XML format. the flow goes thus
I have 28 data elements that i need to represent as a XML so i compile the schema files and generate the class files for each of the tags and thus i can use the get and set methods to read and write to a XML file respectively(example getName and setName)......
Now the problem is that my coding is done if i change my xml file and add say 2 more tags how do i handle it in my code.........
1>Do i have recomplie the schema file and generate new class files every time the xml structure changes. can i avoid this recompiling process and use a one time genrated class files even if the xml structure changes.
2>Now i have hard coded the get and set methods for processing the xml file if i add new tags to my xml i wouldnt have the get set methods for the new tags in my code(say i add a new tag as Phone then i wouldnt have the codes getPhone and setPhone called in my code and this tage was added after the coding was done)........how do i handle this situation. Is is possible that i can get and set data without using these methods and use some sort of a dynamic way of getting and setting data.............
3>Any other approach available to meet the above requirements other than JAXB.
Please help for the above problem
Thank you

hi,
i had written a xml and schema to validate.
my xml would be
<output>
<table>
<row>
<column></column>
<column></column>
</row>
</table>
<document>
<properties>
</properties>
<contents>

<table>
<row>
<column></column>
<column></column>
</row>
</table>
<document>
<properties>
</properties>
<contents>
</contents>
</document>
</output>
schema should validate : each table should contain atleast one row element and each row element should have atleast one column. similarly, each document should have atleast one properties and contents element.
if any of these things occur. for ex: if there is no row element in table, i need to delete the table tag. similary if there is no properties/content or both element in document it should delete the corresponding document from the xml.
i tried for table if there is no row element am getting the line number of the </table> tag, based on that am deleting the table element. if there is no properties tag and contents tag is there. am getting the line number for <contents>start tag, with which i could not able to delete the whole document.
can anybody plz help me out for this requirement

How to use oracle TRIM functionality in XML messages

When i am selecting data from XML message as per below query, it is returing values correctly.

Use of BPM Sub-Process

Hello Experts,
I'm beginner and I wanna know when we will go for BPM sub process.
I know there are two types of process(embedded and reference), but I wanna know when we will go for embedded sub process and for reference sub process.
If possible please share some examples for both the process.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sriram

You can use embedded sub-process in BPM when the child process (sub-process) is dependent on the parent process. By this it means that the sub-process cannot execute by itself.
An embedded sub-process cannot have start and end events, although it can have other sub-set of events like timer, escalation and boundary events.
You can use a referenced sub-process when you want to re-use an existing process. A referenced process is an independent process, which can exist of its own. If you want to use that existing process in your BPM Process then you can call it using referenced sub-process. Also make note that your main process will wait till the referenced sub-process completes its flow.
Also if you feel that some process can be re-used by others then you can make it as a separate process and use it in the main process using referenced sub-process. This way others can also re-use the sub-process.

Table Names of Processed XML Messages

Hi ALL,
We are facing space problem in PRD box with one of our client, due to increase in large number of Messages .
Our basis tryed to do archiving, but endup with no luck.
Could any one tell us in which tables processed idoc xml messages will get stored.
.Any help is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
you should not delete XI Message directely from database table. Please schedule archive or delete jobs. If you never define which interface should be archived, it could NOT be done afterwards. This is also documented clearly on the help.sap.com. What you could do is delete the old messages to free table space. You could configure now interface which should be archived, in this case the message processed in XI in future could be archvied.
XI message is actually stored in different tables,
SXMSPMAST, SXMSPMAST2      XML Message master Table, contains runtime information on XML messages processed by XI; in this table you can find all the information that is visible in SXMB_MONI.
SXMSCLUP     XI Message Payload Tabelle
SXMSCLUR     XI Message Payload Tabelle
SMPPREL3     this table contains information about interfaces; here you can find information on sender (party, service, interface and namespace) and receiver (party, service, interface and namespace) as well as information on maps (their GUID and name as well as namespace).
SXMSPFRAWH     Performance Head Data, Audit Log,
SXMSPFRAWD     Performance Data, Audit Log
There are could be more tables used to store information about XI messages, as I mentioned don't modify database table by your own risk. You will not get support by SAP, it could cause fatal error.

Hai

Batch Number field in IDoc for Process Orders (message type LOIPRO01)

Hello PP experts,
Just wanted to ask if anyone of you have worked with message type LOIPRO01 (IDoc for process orders)
There is a segment-field in this IDoc E1RESBL-CHARG which has description of "Batch Number"
We tried to assign a Bath Number for an Order (using t-code COR2 --> "Goods Recpt" tab under "Receipt" section), generated an IDoc for this order, but upon checking the E1RESBL-CHARG field of the IDoc it is not populated with the Batch Number.
The material in the process order is FERT, so technically we're trying to assign a Batch Number in one of the process orders for a Finished Goods material type, so not on the component level.
Can anyone here verify:
1. is the E1RESBL-CHARG field of IDoc LOIPRO01 intended for the Product Batch Number? If Yes, how do we populate that for in the IDoc? --> Do I need to have a Reservation/Dependent Requirement for the Product for the Batch Number to be populated in the IDoc?
2. If E1RESBL-CHARG can not be populated for a Product that has no Reservation/Dependent Requirements, Do I have any option of populating this field with just the Batch Number assigned to the Process Order of that product?

Solved - LOIPRO01 IDoc does not pick up the Batch Number from AFPO table, instead from table RESB. We need batch from AFPO and just created a lookup using the Process Order Number as import param

Using CDATA when creating an xml message

I'm currently trying to create an XML message in one of my tags I'm trying to put the following string "
". However when I create the xml document I receive the following string 
. I think the conversion is happening when I call
setStringNodeData
Here is my code
strCaseNotes = "
" + "This is a test message";
CreatedElement = setStringNodeData(doc,"strCaseNotes",CaseInfo, strCaseNotes);
doc = getXMLDoc();
doc.write (baos);
String strXMLDoc = baos.toString ();
log.log("strXMLDoc: " + strXMLDoc, "SSDRulesEngine.txt");
This is the ouput 

I assume the conversion is happening in setStringNodeData. Anyway to stop the conversion of & to amp. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Don't get mixed up between the string you see in your program and what you see in your XML file. If you want a CR-LF pair in your XML output you need to do this:strCaseNotes = "\r\n" + "This is a test message";In other words, within your program just use strings as you would normally. Don't try to second-guess the XML parser. You may find the XML software outputs that string in a text node as "
This is a test message" or you may see something slightly different. Again, don't try to affect the output. If your XML software outputs it then any XML parser can read it. But if you mess with it after it's output, then you will probably break the XML in such a way that another XML parser will reject it.

Possible? Using External Definitions for data type/message type definitions

Hi all,
i want to use external definitons in my own data type definitions. Is that possible? And if yes, how?
I imported many definitions via a mass import. Now I also want to use these definitions for further interfaces (than the imported ones). The most convenient would be of course to just use them as a custom created type. Can I somehow "convert" an external definition to a data type/message type?
KR
Felix

Hello Felix,
The External defination which you has been imported that cant use in DT and MT but yeah you can use this in Service interface.
you cant modify that External defination if you want to do that then 1st of all modify it and then reimport it as an another external defination.
and creating service interface with this ED you can use it in your message mapping .
i hope this will help to you to clear your doubt.

EOIO or BPM for receiver SOAP messages

Hi all,
In our IDOC - XI - SOAP (R/3 4.7 - XI 3.0 SP17 - WebService) scenario we have a requirement from the receiving WebService that we cannot send two messages to close together (say within one second) in order to allow the WebService time to unpack the message, transform it and forward it to the legacy system. How the WebService is implemented with this restriction I do not know.
How do we solve this?
Will the QoS EOIO solve this issue? In that case, how do we make sure the Idocs is sent with EOIO from SAP and the SOAP calls from XI do the same? I cannot find any QoS for the receiver SOAP adapter.
Or do we have to setup a BPM that implements a wait step for each message? This seems a bit "insecure".
The last option as I see it is implement some logic in SAP to wait for the ALEAUD response message back from the legacy system (the whole interface is async) before it sends the next IDoc.
Can anyone help me find the easiest (and best) solution?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Br,
Kenneth

Yes, I did not mention it simply because it is not a requirement to have all messages processed in the right order. My thought was merely that the EOIO processing might help giving the receiving WebService enough time before XI sends the next message to the WS. But this might not be the case then.
Anyway, I think I will go for the BPM solution. BTW, if I implement a wait step of 1 minute (way more our requirements though, only a few seconds is needed), am I then sure that another message coming into XI at the same time does not start a new "instance" of the BPM, but uses the same instance as the first message? If a new instance is created then this will not solve my issue either, but if only one instance of the BPM is used then the BPM (and the wait step) must be finished before the next message enters the BPM, right? This is what I would want then.
Thanks again for your help!

Urgent help for processing XML stream read from a JAR file

Hi, everyone,
Urgently need your help!
I am reading an XML config file from a jar file. It can print out the result well when I use the following code:
===============================================
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("conf/config.xml");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line); // It works fine here, which means that the inputstream is correct
// process the XML stream I read from above
NodeIterator ni = processXPath("//grid/gridinfo", is);
Below is the processXPath() function I have written:
public static NodeIterator processXPath(String xpath, InputStream byteStream) throws Exception {
// Set up a DOM tree to query.
InputSource in = new InputSource(byteStream);
DocumentBuilderFactory dfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dfactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
Document doc = dfactory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(in);
// Use the simple XPath API to select a nodeIterator.
System.out.println("Querying DOM using " + xpath);
NodeIterator ni = XPathAPI.selectNodeIterator(doc, xpath);
return ni;
It gives me so much errors:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The root element is required in a well-formed document.This often means that the parser can't find the document. You think it should be able to find the document because your test code could. However if your test code was not in the same package as your real (failing) code, your test is no good because getResourceAsStream("conf/config.xml") is looking for that file name relative to the package of the class that contains that line of code.
If your test code wasn't in any package, put a slash before the filename and see if that works.
