Wait step not copmleting

Hi Experts,
I am working on simple BPM scenario with recieve,send and wait steps.I have placed wait step between recieve and send step.
The issue is wait step is not completing in process.In wait step i have given 2minutes duration.
Anybody plz help me in this issue.why wait step is not completing.

Bhuvan.

Hi Shah,
I have gone through thread Wait step in BPM hangs! .when i am trying to reschedule the Schedule Background Job for Missed Deadlines it is asking for change request.If i provide the change request,is it cause for any changes in other functionality of XI.
Please suggest me in this issue.

Using WAIT step in Sync/Async Bridge

I am using a sync/async bridge and placed a 1 minute wait step in between my async send and async reply. When I test my process, the async reply comes in but then my 1 minute wait eventually times out and gives me an error. Can someone guide me in fixing this BPM design (which steps to add and how)?
http://webpages.charter.net/kpwendel/bpm_with_wait.jpg
I would like it to stop waiting once the async reply comes in and not timeout. If the 1 minute mark comes and a reply never came in, it would also be nice to send back an error message.
Thanks!

I pulled my WAIT task and had this scenario working a week ago. I have not made any changes, but now my inbound replies to close the BPM and link up to the request are not "linking". The request is eventually timing out even though the reply with a good correlation id comes in successfully. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I went through my objects in the IB:Config and resaved/activated them and now it is working. Don't know what messed them up in the first place.

BPM wait step : RWB"To Be Delivered status": SXMB_MONI"Message being sent"

Hi All,
I have a BPM interface running fine since 1 year.
In this BPM I have wait step for 5 minutes.
But yesterday message is stopped on wait and not proceeding ahead.
I checked XML is good as per mapping. and in runtime wirk bench message is still in "To Be Delivered status"
and in SXMB_MONI message column Outbound Status still showing "Message being sent" even after 12 hours.(wait is only 5 minutes). And below is the trace of last message.
Please guide how to handle or restart this message. in SMQ1 & SMQ2 there are no queues showing:

ABAP OO class-based workflow, wait step

Hello,
I'm hoping someone is able to help me. I've implemented a class which triggers a custom workflow through a custom event of the class. At one point during the workflow I want to use a wait step that waits for another custom event to occur. I've created my second event which I want to trigger from an ABAP ALV Grid report for users, that will allow them to select the specific workflows to trigger this event for. My problem is, I am having trouble figuring out how to find the correct object instance of my class from within the ABAP program and trigger the event specifically for that instance, so that the workflow can continue and eventually complete. I have implemented the IF_WORKFLOW interface and up to this point the workflow is functioning correctly.
Thanks,
Leslie

Hello,
Sorry, not sure where my brain was. Actually I do know: at two clients with projects going live this month, so apologies for a rushed and inaccurate response. It's CL_SWF_EVT_EVENT.
Jocelyn's blog I referred to includes a code sample using the same class on how to raise an event with an object key.
Regarding your second question: No you don't need to do any binding. Just use an instance of your object and it will wait for an event with the same key. The WF part is very straightforward and works exactly like BOR, it's just raising event that can't be done with the WAPI.
Cheers,
Mike

Wait step in BPM

Hi All,
The minimum BPM-wait duration is 1 min and cannot be decreased below that....can we use 0.5 for 1/2 min.
or can any one suggest what would be alternate option to achieve 2 to 3 min delay.
One solution is to write a mapping and use udf to delay for one 2 to 3 seconds.Apart from this any other better solution
Please suggest
Regards,
Vidya

Introducing a delay of les than a minute is not possible in the BPM (using a Wait step)
The other method (using UDF in mapping....sleep.Thread) should work and does not seem to induce any performance issue.
or can any one suggest what would be alternate option to achieve 2 to 3 *min* delay.
The Wait step itself should be useful for this requirement.
For having the delay in seconds use the UDF.

Abhishek.

Wait step in BPM stops the process permanently

Hi all.
I have a BPM with a Wait Step inside. When the process reaches the wait step the process gets locked permanently.
I execute TCODE SM12, remove the lock for the process and the process finishes without errors.
Why does the BPM hangs with the wait step? Could anybody help me with this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Gari.

Hi Gökhan.
I'm using SP12. The Self-test about BPE in RWB reports error for "Schedule Background Job for Packaging" and "Schedule Background Job for Reorganization". Details for the error say "Background job for packaging is not required".
Thanks,
Gari.

Wait Step in Workflow

Hi Workflow gurus,
I have 2 questions want to ask.
1. We have a wait step deadline monitoring in our workflow project. Let's say 30 day wait period. After 30 days workflow is getting triggered & everything works fine. But that is really required in Production. In Dev/QA systems we do not want to wait really 30 day. We want a small time period, let's say 1 day. Now what is the best way to handle this? Meaning Different time periods for different systems for the same workflow & same wait step period.
2. If a work item is waiting for a wait step to be completed(for ex waiting for 60 day wait period) before 60 day itself,
can we execute manually that work item using any std report?
Kindly help me.
Thanks,
Pandu.

Hi Pandu,
1. There are a couple of things you can do in this instance. You could manually remove the deadline after the 1 day threshold.
Open the work item and select Edit -> Change -> Change Deadline -> Excute and then remove the Requested Start deadline
(ensure you have Technical View set for the work item display)
Deadline monitoring (SWWDHEX) will have to execute before the work item will transition out of a Waiting state.
Alternatively you could store the deadline parameter externally in a config table somewhere and retrieve it into the workflow for use with your deadline. Obviously when you change the configuration from 30 days to 1 taking care to ensure that the changes are not transported to prod. Not really fond of this since there is a risk of transporting the changes.
2. Transactions like SWIA don't allow you to execute work items in a Waiting state. So as above go into the work item and either change the deadline or execute.
I hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Trevor

Wait step in fork

hi all,
i have one problem in workflow i am using wait for event step in fork but the event is not coming....
i tried to create the event using function module but its not coming
i think it is taking null object so i tried using create event step in workflow but it didnt work....
i am creating the event through function module (activity) but it is not processing after that step..
i tried to search in forum but i didnt find the solution...
please help
Piyush jain

yeah i traced the event it is coming in event trace
actually i have three events in zbo created ,approved ,rejected and accordingly i defined the activity
for three events but the wait step is not processed yeah it is showing in event trace but the event is not coming in
workflow step .....i am not using correlation step in that
thanks for reply

Wait step in quality is waiting for long time

hi friends
I have transported the workflow to quality. Am using a wait step in my workflow. Its waiting in that step for long time nearly 1 hour still its not cross the step. The workflow works fine in my developement. But in quality its not moving to the next step. i comparted the wait step in quality and developement. In developement wait step in outcomes tab green light is glowing in Actvie mode. but in quality green light is visible but in blured vision. even i have checked the configuration in swu3 in development and quality. Both have same configuration. What could be the problem that its not crossing the wait step. Plz help me
Regards
vijay

hi Pavan
I havn't used any deadline. Its working fine in development. y in quality its not working. That is my question. Even i have checked in the development wait step from the log i have these 3 steps for histroy
Wait step created                                No errors
Condition for wait step fulfilled               No errors
Result Processing                               No errors
But in quality
Wait step created                                No errors
Only these step is alone there. its has not yet come to other step. But my condition is fullfilling has i checked from the container elements. Am waiting for more than 3 hours. Still its not come to next step. y what could be the reason.

XI BPM Wait Step

We are attempting to receive an IDoc into BPM and look at the begin date of a record (BEGDA) and based on the date in BEGDA send the record immediately (if system date <= today) or hold the record if BEGDA > system date.
We have constructed an abstract interface for the IDoc and a Wait Until Specified Time, then send the message.
The BPM does not send the message at all.
The container field for BEGDA in BPM is populated with a string (20050524) in workflow monitoring.
There is no documentation we can find on what this BPM process is looking for i.e. will the xsd string inherent with IDoc's work in this BPM or do we need to transform the field into a date?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,
I assume that field BEGDA is from the IDOC:
- in the Wait Step - when you click on the Date property
en Expression editor opens
- then you choose your BEGDA field right?
but
below you see your Xpath Expression to this field and the "Type" is is set to xsd:Date? or String?
if string try changing it to date because even if the BEGDA has Date type in the IDOC when you choose it in the Expression editor it becomes string but you can change it over there
Have you checked it?

michal

Create BPM only for WAIT step..

HI All,
I am working on a IDOC-XI-File interface. Its working perfectly fine.
Due to excellent processing times in SAP, our system ends up sending many files almost at same time( diff in milliseconds I guess) to the legacy system. However Legacy system doesnt like it and wants us to send a file every 1 second apart.
I tried using the '
WAIT UP TO 1 SECONDS'
statement in R/3 ssytem but somehow system does not wait for 1 second( I guess that why they call it UP TO and not WAIT TILL ) ).
Instead of relying on R/3 I thought of creating a BPM witha WAIT step. However have never done BPM before, so wanted your opinion before venturing into it for the following:
1. Can I create a BPM just to introduce 1 sec delay.
2. Since my interface is working currently, If I need to use BPM, will I have to redo the mapping etc.
3. How much time effort do you guys think will be needed to convert an existing(working interface) to BPM interface with WAIT step. (Its an Z-IDOC with 3 segments and no-hierarchy)
4. Any blogs, threads to do it would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks
Shirin

u can use BPM to wait for other message.
you have to create abstract message interface for BPM.
but no need to change anything in mapping.
use abstract message interface in interface mapping.
use blog:

Wait step stops during PI BPM workflow

Hello Guys,
I'm testing the one BPM scenario in my test system, during runtime the workflow stops before wait step (only 1 min) but after 1 min the message not process and it is stucked in 'in process' state.
Earlier the scenario works good with wait step, but now it's not working in Dev & test systems but only working in Production system,
Note: Recently we migrated from Service pack upgraded from PI 7.31 SP06 to SP11 in all three systems.
Do you have any idea on this error? could you please suggest me
Thank you.
Sateesh

Hello Udo,
You are absolutely right, I reschedule my background jobs in t.code SXMB_ADM_BPE then it resolved my issue.
And I have one more question currently my PI systems are in 7.31 SP11 and getting error ' Cache content Obsolete' (SXI_CACHE-->deltaMonitoring)
Could you please provide me any suggestions on this .
Thank you.

WAIT STEP issue in a BPM

Hi all,
We have a following message (as a result of a transformation) FECHA is an xsd:date and HORA is an xsd:time. The cardinality of every elements is 1..1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <MT_Retraso_Entrada_Wait>
<row>
<FECHA>2006-10-27</FECHA>
<HORA>15:00:00.0</HORA>
</row>
</MT_Retraso_Entrada_Wait>
And we assing this values to the wait step but it doesn't work.
Has anybody any idea?
Thanks

HI SUDHEER,
Many thnaks for your help, But it is working with this value as constant.
I tried to remove the 0 but still not working is not picking up this values, the desired date and time in the wait step are empty.
How are you using the same MT just in case?.
Many thanks for your help.

ERROR in the wait step

Hi all,
I have a requirement, where automatic payment proposal goes for an approval process. When the proposal has created in the tcode F110 based upon user who has loged in a push button "Trigger Workflow" will appear once proposal is made (enchansment), When the user press this button workflow will be triggered using the function module. After that i am finding the approver details. After this step type, i am checking for the condition (payment or proposal) if it is proposal flow will proceed futher. After this i have used a fork step - two branches 1. for the workflow proceed further 2. cancle the workflow when and event "ZSAVE_ON_CLICK" (custome defined event) is triggered.
I am getting the error at this wait step. The error is ""Workflow 000000703573 wait step 0000000248: No valid object ID in container element 'ZbusF110'""
Thing i have done.
1. I check the binding, here i am passing two key values of the bo to my workflow container from the event container.
2. When i tried to bind the EVTOBJECT to zbusf110 - it is giving me an warining "'_EVT_OBJECT' is not an export element and hence sometimes has no defined value"
Kindly help me in solving this issue.
Thanks and Regards

It is working fine

Does CAF have the possibility to implement wait steps?

I'm wondering if CAF has functionality to allocate a wait time to an action, in the same way that it is possible to put a wait step in ABAP workflow tasks.
I can see one tab on the Action definition in design time GP that has a fixed date and allows a callable object to be invoked, but the kind of logic I am looking for is to allow a separate block to be invoked if a certain time limit has been reached.
Is this possible to do in CAF?
- Tony.

Hi Tony,
I cannot completely understand your requirement- invoke a block when a certain amount of time has elapsed?
Well you cannot branch to a particular block, but in terms of callable object to implement wait feature maybe an idea is to create a exclusive one through a background callable object where you are free to code. You could implement a wait in here through java code. You could take in the wait duration as an input through the callable object interface. I have not tried it, but it should work.
