What is context objects and how we can use it Receiver Determination

hi,
i have situation here a idoc is triggered into the xi and i need to use the conditions in the receiverdetermination in that condition i need to use context object how i can use it? and what is the difference it makes and why i need to use it?
thanks in advance

HI,
Context objects are alternative to XPATH expressions. It is like macros in other programming langugage. If you define this , you can use this object in the receiver determination while doing conditional receiver determination

Context object

Hello,
             What is context object ? where this will be used?
                                                                          shyam

Hi Shyam,
when you have a deep nested XPATH, and you need to use it in multiple locations it can become tricky and so in your IR you create a context object to refer to the XPATH.
Note: For example, you have 2 receivers (receiver1 and receiver2). You need to choose the receiver based on the vale present in any source node. Then you can use context object to choose the receiver dynamically at run time.
Create a context object in IR and assign it to an outbound interface.
In ID, while creating Receiver Determination, in condition editor you can specify the conditions.. like multiple receivers you have to specify.
Creating Context Objects --> Quite Simple.
1. Create a new context object --> Right Click on Context Object --> New --> and then give the type of the context element. Integer, char ,etc.
2. Now, go to the Message Interface and you will find the column Context object. To the corresponding XML element, give your context object name
Comparison between XPath and Context Object
XPath
/InvoiceOut/customerData/address/postalCode = 69120
Context Object
postalCode = 69120

Assign Context Object "ProcessStep" to BPE variable?

Hi all!
What exact information does the standard Context Object "ProcessStep" (which should be available in BPM as stated in help.sap.com) include? Is it the ID of the current Workflow-Item / the instance ID of the parent BP process ...?
I can not test it - since assigning this context object to a simple container variable (string) in my BPM results in the error: The Value of Expression '&<MessageVarName>.PROCESSSTEP&' Cannot Serve As the Source of an Assignment
during Runtime Activation in "SXI_CACHE" !!????
Any idea how this "ProcessStep" Context object is correctly used?
Many thanks in advance ...
Best regards,
Andy

Container operation step in BPM using context object

Hi all,
in my BPM I have a send step using the file adapter. The file adapter builds a dynamic filename.
Now I want to have the filename back into an acknowledgement. First, I need it in the container, right?
So after the send step, I have a container operation step as follows:
target: simple string
mode: assign or append, doesn't matter
expression: In expression editor, I select Interface variable 'message', then context object 'FileName' from namespace http://sap.com/xi/XISystem/File
This should be the filename from the fileadapter, right?
In SXI_Cache, I get return code 99:
The Value of Expression '&MESSAGE.FILENAME&' Cannot Serve As the Source of an Assignment
Why is there a context object, if you can' t use it??

As far as I know, the filename in the Dynamic Header will be lost in when the message enters the BPM.
As a work around, make a mapping at the Interface Determination level that reads the filename from the SOAP header and sets it into the payload which can be accessed inside the BPM.
Reason the way I see this that the BPM does not store the filename is ,
1. What if you have multiple receive steps in the BPM with a fork.
2. How would the context object know which filename you want to read?
The reason you see this in the context object is because all Context Objects are the info you get from the Adapter metadata.

Regarding mandatory fields, Context Objects and Fault Message Types

Hi All,
1) I am creating a structure with fields "Name", "Street" and "City". While creation i want to make "Name" fields as mandatory. Is it possible. If so how to achieve this.
2) What is the purpose of Context Object and in which situation we will use this.
3) What is the purpose of Fault Message Types and in which situation we will use this.
4) I am doing file to file scenario, at sender side i have set the adapter as file and transport protocol as "FTP" . It is asking for "Server", "PORT" and "Login Details". What is this FTP, for this do i need to take any login details. I am totally not aware of FTP, could please explain more about this.
Kindly look into the above points and respond point by point.

Hi prem,
1) I am creating a structure with fields "Name", "Street" and "City". While creation i want to make "Name" fields as mandatory. Is it possible. If so how to achieve this.
give occurence 1..unbounded. for the field name.
2) What is the purpose of Context Object and in which situation we will use this.
If u have multiple receiver system then to determine the reciever u can use context object.....
the alternative of context objetc is X-Path...

Dynamic Configuration of custom Context Objects: is it possible?

Guys,
is it possible to use Dynamic Configuration for custom Context Objects as we normally do to technical context objects?
Also, is it possible to use a context object in receiver determination, even if it is not assigned to a message interface?
My case: I need to use condition at receiver determination but I dont want to read a field from payload. Instead, I want to write that context object with dynamic configuration and use it at receiver determination runtime.
I want to do this in order to avoid having to extend the payload's message type because of this extra field for condition (actually, its not that I dont want to, its that I cant. The message type is defined by 3rd party and cant be changed). If it is possible to keep that information at header instead of payload, it'd be great.
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Henrique.

Hi,
>>>>>Just a last comment: do you need to deploy any code for the adapter on SDM or just the "fake adapter metadata file" is enough?
no SDM
just the metadata file as per my blog
glad this is what you wanted

Context objects

Hi.
I'm trying to use context object in order to decide what BPM should be used in a receiver determination.
As sender, i have an R3 with an ZBAPI_CONFIRMATION.
As receiver, 4 BPM. Each BPM is different and depending of a value of ZBAPI_CONFIRMATION, a BPM has to be executed.
In repository, in imported objects, i have linked the context object to the field AAAA of ZBAPI_CONFIRMATION.
The problem is that i can't view the context object in the condition of receiver determination.
Any solution?
Many thanks.

I did the same and it worked for me.
Add the product in the technical system(SLD).
Select the check box for this particular product in the business system(SLD).
In the Integration directory, do a SLD cache refresh. Use the menu Environment --> Clear SLD Data Cache.(this is the main thing)...
If this does not work.... try removing the business system and adding it back again...
Thanks,
Renjith.

What is authorization object and how to create it for a table

Hi All,
What is authorization object and how to create it for a table?
Thanks

Hi
Authorization
For authorization checks, there are many ways of linking authorization objects with user actions in an SAP system. The following discusses three possibilities in the context of ABAP programming.
Authorization Check for Transactions
You can directly link authorization objects with transaction codes. You can enter values for the fields of an authorization object in the transaction maintenance. Before the transaction is executed, the system compares these values with the values in the user master record and only starts the transaction if the appropriate authorization exists.
Authorization Check for ABAP Programs
For ABAP programs, the two objects S_DEVELOP (program development and program execution) and S_PROGRAM (program maintenance) exist. They contains a field P_GROUP that is connected with the program attribute authorization group. Thus, you can assign users program-specific authorizations for individual ABAP programs.
Authorization Check in ABAP Programs
A more sophisticated, user-programmed authorization check is possible using the Authority-Check statement. It allows you to check the entries in the user master record for specific authorization objects against any other values. Therefore, if a transaction or program is not sufficiently protected or not every user that is authorized to use the program can also execute all the actions, this statement must be used.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT object
 ID name1 FIELD f1
 ID name2 FIELD f2
 ID namen FIELD fn.
object is the name of an authorization object. With name1, name2 ... , and so on, you must list all fields of the authorization object object. With f1, f2 ... , and so on, you must specify the values that the system is to check against the entries in the relevant authorization of the user master record. The AUTHORITY-CHECK statement searches for the specified object in the user profile and checks the useru2019s authorizations for all values of f1, f2 ... . You can avoid checking a field name1, name2 ... by replacing FIELD f1 FIELD f2 with DUMMY.
After the FIELD addition, you can only specify an elementary field, not a selection table. However, there are function modules available that execute the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement for all values of selection tables. The AUTHORITY-CHECK statement is supported by a statement pattern.
Only if the user has all authorizations, is the return value sy-subrc of the AUTHORITY-CHECK statement set to 0. The most important return values are:
· 0: The user has an authorization for all specified values.
· 4: The user does not have the authorization.
· 8: The number of specified fields is incorrect.
· 12: The specified authorization object does not exist.
A list of all possible return values is available in the ABAP keyword documentation. The content of sy-subrc has to be closely examined to ascertain the result of the authorization check and react accordingly.
REPORT demo_authorithy_check.
PARAMETERS pa_carr LIKE sflight-carrid.
DATA wa_flights LIKE demo_focc.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_CARRID'
 ID 'CARRID' FIELD pa_carr
 ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '03'.
IF sy-subrc = 4.
 MESSAGE e045(sabapdocu) WITH pa_carr.
ELSEIF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE e184(sabapdocu) WITH text-010.
ENDIF.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT carrid connid fldate seatsmax seatsocc
 FROM sflight
 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF wa_flights
 WHERE carrid = pa_carr.
 WRITE: / wa_flights-carrid,
 wa_flights-connid,
 wa_flights-fldate,
 wa_flights-seatsmax,
 wa_flights-seatsocc.
ENDSELECT.

Context object in xpath under reciver determination

hi all.
iam new to xi.
i just want to know what is the need of context object in xpath under reciever determination.
i tried a lot for understanding this context object but no way.
can any body expalin briefly.
waiting for ur great answer.
bye.

seeta ram.

suppose say you have a particular field in an xml and the xpath for the same is;
root/seg1/seg2/seg3/seg4/seg5/seg6/seg7/seg8/field, so instead of always using the whole xpath you can store it as a context object. It is like a variable say fieldcontextobject = root/seg1/seg2/seg3/seg4/seg5/seg6/seg7/seg8/field and in further development u can just ref. fieldcontextobject instead of the whole xml !!!!

What are the objects that support variables?

What are the objects that support variables?

Using Variables: The Variable Wizard and the Variable Editor
Definition
Variables are parameters of a query that you defined in the Query Designer and that are filled with values when you execute the query or Web application. They serve as a store for characteristic values, hierarchies, hierarchy nodes, texts and formula elements, and can be processed in different ways.
The processing type determines how a variable is filled with a value for the runtime of the query or Web application.
There are different types of variables depending on the object for which you want to define variables. These types specify where you can use the variables.
Variables are reusable objects. This means that when you define a variable for a query in the Query Designer, this variable can be used in all other queries. Variables are not dependent on the InfoProvider, only on the InfoObject. A variable that you define for an InfoObject is available in all InfoProviders that use this InfoObject.
Use
Variables enable you to customize queries flexibly (parameterize the query) possible. If you use variables in the Query Designer, do not select any fixed characteristic values, hierarchies, hierarchy nodes, texts, or formula elements. Instead, set up variables as place holders. These are then filled with values when the query is running (when you insert the query into a workbook, when you refresh the workbook or when you execute the query on the Web. You can use one query definition as the foundation for many different queries if you use variables.
You want to create one query for all the people responsible for customer groups, who each only evaluate the data for one customer group. In the Query Designer, you insert a variable for the characteristic u2018customer groupu2019. Just before the query is executed, decide for which customer group(s) you want the query to apply to.
There are two tools in the Query Designer for designing and changing variables.
The variable wizard takes you step-by-step through the process of defining a variable. Each individual step is context-sensitive and is adjusted according to the combination of variable and processing types used. This means that the variable wizard only offers the selection options that are permitted for that combination of variable and processing types. For more information, see Defining Variables with the Variable Wizard.
The variable editor dialog box offers all of the selection options for changing an existing variable. The individual fields in the dialog box show the settings affected in the variable. You can change these settings here. If you want to make the changes using a step-by-step process with explanatory texts, you can jump to the variable wizard using . For more information, see Changing Variables in the Variable Editor.
Integration
The variable wizard and the variable editor are functions in the Query Designer and are context-sensitive.
In principle, the two dialog boxes appear wherever you can enter constants (that is, values) in input fields. One of these input fields is the Entry of Variables checkbox. If you select this option, the following options for using a variable appear, instead of a fixed value:
·        The variables that are available appear in the dropdown box for the input field. You can select a variable from the dropdown box.
·        The symbol Change Variable appears next to the Entry of Variables checkbox. You can change the variable using . The Variable Editor dialog box appears.
·        The symbol New Variable appears next to the Entry of Variables checkbox. Choose if you want to create a new variable. The Variable Wizard dialog box appears.
By way of an example, when defining conditions for the value limit of the condition, you can not only enter fixed values but also formula variables. Mark the Entry of Variables checkbox and you can then use the options described above. The settings are context-sensitive so that the formula variables that only those formula variables that are available appear in the dropdown box. The variable wizard is set up automatically in the same way for entering formula variables.
You can also get to the variable wizard and the variable editor from the context menu of those objects for whose values you can define variable placeholders. From the context menu, choose New Variable. The SAP BW Variables Wizard appears. In the context menu for variables that have already been defined, you can choose Edit. The SAP BW Variables Editor appears.
In the InfoProvider objects dialog box, you select a characteristic (for example, Order) and from the context menu, choose New Variable. You reach the variable wizard, which is already set up for you to enter a characteristic value variable.
In the InfoProvider objects dialog box, you select a characteristic value variable and from the context menu, choose Edit. You reach the variable editor where you see all of the settings for the variable. You can make changes to the variables here.
Variable Types
Definition
The type of variable being used. This determines the object that the variable represents as a placeholder for a concrete value.
Structure
There are different types of variables depending on the object for which you want to define variables. These types specify where you can use the variables.
·        Characteristic Value Variables
Characteristic value variables represent characteristic values and can be used wherever characteristic values are used.
If you restrict characteristics to specific characteristic values, you can also use characteristic value variables. See, Restricting Characteristics.
·        Hierarchy Variables
Hierarchy variables represent hierarchies and can be used wherever hierarchies can be selected.
If you restrict characteristics to specific hierarchies or select presentation hierarchies, you can also use hierarchy variables. See Selecting Hierarchies
·        Hierarchy Node Variables
Hierarchy node variables represent a node in a hierarchy and can be used wherever hierarchy nodes are used.
If you restrict characteristics to specific hierarchy nodes, you can also use hierarchy node variables. See Restricting Characteristics: Hierarchies
·        Text Variables
Text variables represent a text and can be used in descriptions of queries, calculated key figures and structural components.
You can use text variables in the description of calculated key figures, restricted key figures, selections and formulas when you create them. See Defining Calculated Key Figures, Defining Restricted Key Figures, Defining Selections, and Defining Formulas.
You can change the descriptions in the properties dialog box. See Query Properties Calculated Key Figure Properties Restricted Key Figure Properties, and Selection/Formula Properties.
·        Formula Variables
Formula variables represent numerical values and can be used in formulas. See Defining Formulas.
In addition, numerical values are used for selecting exceptions and conditions and you can also use formula variables here. See Defining Exceptions and Defining Conditions
You can use a formula variable for the interest rate in order to process the current interest rate, after you have executed the query or Web application.

Idoc - jdbc context object problem

hi all,
in my scenario i am sending message from 1 idoc to 3 oracle table,
i have one condition for one oracle table.
That if "e_code" field of idoc is empty then no record should be insert into table1.
so what i have to do.
i also try context object but i have define context object but it is not showing in id.
is there any other way to resolve my problem.

Hi Alex,
No need to go upto MI and IM
u control on Message Mapping MM front.
Just check "e_code" is "0 - empty" or exists
based on that generate u r Statement node of u r table1.
this would do
