What is integration scenario & integration process in IR?

hi friends
1). can any one explain me about Integration scenario and Integration processes in "INTEGRATION REPOSITORY"?
2). why we need to use this IS & IP(integration scenario and integration processes?
3). what is advantage of using IS & IP(integration scenario and integration processes?
if you have any related links and documents please refer to me..................
Thanks in Advance

Hi Bharat,
Integration Scenario
An integration scenario completely models the exchange of
messages for a collaborative process and provides an overview of the process flow.
It is overview of your whole integration scenario. In Integration Scenario each Swimlane represents a different business system. Mean you will have number of swimlanes as number of business system involved in your integration. Swimlane contains action. Actions are used for mentioning Inbound and outbound interfaces for the corresponding swimlane(business system).
Why we are using Integration Scenario?
We use integration scenario to genearate Integration Directory objects like Receiver Determination, Interface determination, Sender agreeement etc.
All XI content objects must be assigned to one or more integration scenarios (IS). Delivering XI-Content in the framework of an IS has the following advantages:
1. The IS provides you with a central point of access for all integration objects. This is necessary for semantic and technical integration and facilitates business-driven development.
2. The IS helps customers to understand the underlying business scenario of XI content objects.
3. The IS serves as a kick-start for the configuration of the content at the customer site. The aim is to minimize the configuration effort for the customer.

Integration Processes
An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps that are to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.
You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).
the following case,u should consider to use integration process.
1.Control/Monitor the messages in XI
2. Collect/Merge the messages in XI
3. Split the messages in XI
4. To Multicast an Message
5. Send an Alert based on the very complex business logic
6. To integrate with cross component business process

What is integration processes and integration scenario?

hi experts,
1.What is data type enhancements?
2. What is context objects?
3. what is External definitions?
4. What is mapping templates?
Please reply me as soon as possible.
thanx,
murali.

Hi,
A message defines how the message that the user receives is structured. The message template contains a URL to a BSP application (Business Server Page). This creates the messages. You can define separate BSP applications and specify them in the message template (see also: Changing the Message Layout).
When you assign a message template to a category, you can define your own message template for each level of granularity and delivery type (see also: Granularity of Messages). You can also use the same message template for different levels of granularity and delivery types.
Activities
1. To define your own message template, navigate to the Message Template screen:
a. In the toolbar, choose New Entries.
b. Enter the name of a message template.
c. Specify the relative URL for the required BSP application and the handler class.
2. On the Assigned Message Template screen, assign the message template to the required category.
You can assign your own message template for each delivery type and level of granularity.
a. In the Customer Namespace column, enter either Z or Y.
b. Select your message template.
The specified message template overrides the standard message template shipped by SAP.
2.Context object
Context objects are a simple alternative to XPath expressions for accessing the contents of a message.
Creating context object : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/9ddca372cbf146bdcdf54db7737623/content.htm
Activities
1. Create a context object on the design maintenance screen of the Integration Builder 2. Select a built-in XSD data type for your context object by using the Reference Type list box and save it.
3. Open the interface that you want to assign a context object to in the Integration Repository. You can only assign context objects to the request message of interfaces in the same or in a superordinate software component version.
4. To assign the context object to a request message field, enter it in the Context Object column by using the input help. For message interfaces, the structure of the request message is displayed on the Context Object tab page.
5. If you want to undo the assignment of a context object, select the name of the context object and choose Delete Context Object Assignment ( ).
6. Activate your changes.
3. External Definitions :
An external definition enables you to import a local WSDL, XSD, or DTD file to the Integration Repository and specify which parts of the schema to extract as the description for a message. You can use these extracted message schema as:
● Output or input messages in message interfaces
● Source or target structures for message mappings

Sync/Async BPM scenario : Problem at Integration Process..!!

Hi All,
I am doing Sync/Async BPM scenario.
start ->Receive(Request)> Transformation(Responsemap)>Send(SendtoR/3)->Send(Send Response) ---> stop.
When Iam trying to Activate, Integration process giving errors as
Source parameter AA_Payment_Req | http://XXXXXXXXX.com/SAP_PI/DirectSales/Payment not set Target parameter AA_Payment_Response | http://XXXXXXX.com/SAP_PI/DirectSales/Payment not set
Warning: Container element Response is defined but is neither initialized nor used.
But I am using them in the BPM. The same kind of scenario is working for another interface which is already running in production. When I tried to check that interface it is showing only Warning message as Container element Response is defined but is neither initialized nor used.
I tried deleting and creating again and still it is showing the same error.
Can anyone please suggest what might be the problem.

Deepthi

Hi,
could you pls let me know how its solved, while i am trying the same i am also getting the same problem..
could you pls explain bit more on this.

Doubt : What is the Exact use of Product/SWCV in an integration process?

Hi XI Gurus,
The XI Documentation(Regarding SWCV) says "All design work is organised By SWCV.This makes sense, as interface logically belongs to a Software component Version"
DOUBT 1 :
What is the Exact Use/Role of Product/SWCV in an integration process? - Is it ONLY for DOCUMENTATION purpose? ie., to just understand the underlying Software used ? OR DOES it have a Technical say in the way the Business System behaves ?.
DOUBT 2 :
What will happen if I create a junk Product(I mean something Meaningless), a junk SWCV BUT while creating a Technical System(I choose Type as WEB AS) BASED on the Junk Product/SWCV ,I give VALID hostname etc...I then create a Business System with data valid data .
Now i have created a TS & BS with Valid HOSTNAME & CLIENT etc. BUT based on the junk Product/Junk SWCV.
NOW in integration dir.,will i be able to configure this Business System as Service for Sending IDOCS/FILE(or anything for that matter)?
If It will work then That means The product/SWCV IS ONLY for documentation purpose.Please rply in detail !
DOUBT 3:
When I import the junk SWCV INTO the IntegrationRepository
& choose import of RFC/IDCOC & give valid connection details to a SAP System , Will it import the RFC Regardless of the Junk SWCV I am using ??
DOUBT 4 :
Business System A(Sender) : SAP R/3(For Example)
Business System B(Receiver) : APO (For Example)
ASSUMPTION : Business system A & B have DIFFERENT SWCV.
Now Which Business System's SWCV do I import in my Integration Repository ?The Sender's or Reciever's ?
and Why ??
It would be great if anyone can help me out.
Thanks,
Arun

>>>DOUBT 1 :

the product defines the name genaerllly, the SWCV definesd within the product...there can be many SWC in an product...so an SWC is the smallest component in an product...

Integration Scenarios & Integration Processes

Can somebody please explain me what are the "Actions" and "Integration Scenarios" for in Integration Scenarios & Integration Processes? I understand that " Integration Processes" is for creating BPM processes.

HI Vijay
Please see the below links.
For Actions :
An action represents a function within an application component that is not subdivided further. Actions subdivide the process flow of an integration scenario
Internal Actions : Defined for a separate software component version.
You can use internal actions in application components (of type Product Version or Main Instance) that (by using the product version) contain the same software component version in which the action is implemented.
External Actions : Defined for a software component version of a partner or for templates.You can use external actions in application components (of type Template or Product Version) that (by using the product version) contain the same software component version in which the integration scenario is implemented.

Integration process in File to BPM Scenario

hi,
gud morning. i got a problem while designing a BPM. in designing the integration process in IR, i am not able to get both the abstract interfaces to select from, while defining the container. plz post a solution for this. thank u.

Hi,
In this blog, I have used Business Service created in the integration directory.. This is an abstract . So I need to specify , the Sender and Receiver Interfaces explicitly in the business service. and it doesnot have any entry in the SLD.
But if you create the Business System in the SLD and if you import that into the Integration Directory-->Assign this into your configurations scenario, then this step is not required.
Regd. Importing Integration Process- BPM is kind of Abstract Service.. i.e BPM is acting as a Receiver Service and Sender service both..
i,e Source to BPM ( here BPM is a Receiver)
BPM to Target( here BPM is a Sender Service)
Hope this clarifies..

Moorthy

Need Integration Process to the scenario

Hi All,
I am doing one scenario Webservice to JDBC (Sync to Sync). Here i have one doubt, there any Integration Process required for this scenario. Completely I configured scenario without using BPM right now. I haven't tested the scenario also.
1. BPM is required for my scenario or not?
2. So please tell me when the BPM will come to the picture?
Thanks,
Satish.

HI,
Ihope BPM not required to this type of scenarios. BPM required if you have sync - asyn , vice also some times and see the checklist for BPM inthe below link

Integration Process in Integration Scenario

Hi All,
I am trying to create an Integration scenario which can be used at configuration time to create all the config object. But during configuration time, in Assign Services step in Integration Scenario Configurator, it is only showing Business Systems under the product, previously configured in SLD. But i want to use the Imported Integration Process as the sender service. Is it possible?
Also the Assign Service screen is showing Assign Business System Services for A2A configuration. But we are using B2B configuration sometimes. So is there any way to do this?
regards,
Biranchi

Hi
Thanks for the reply. The above switch problem is solved. But now I am facing a new problem. I am making a synchronous call to BAPI from my BPM. How can this be implemented in Integration Scenario.
So how can I send a input message from BPM to BAPI and then take further steps only after getting response from BAPI. Is there any way to define synchronous Action??? And another point to be noted is that we are not using any communication channel to send the message from BPM or receive the response in BPM. We have only a receiver communication channel which receives the message for the BAPI.
So please help in solving this problem.
regards,
Biranchi

Integration Processes within Integration Scenario

The process I need to model is as follows:
SRM XML PO => OAG XML PO => Embeded OAG XML PO in another message.
I have looked at trying to use an integration process to handle the first conversion and then a regular interface mapping for the 2nd. However despite creating the Integration process in the same software component as the Integration Scenario I get nothing in the drop down list when searching for the Integration process in the Application Component definition. Even if I try to create a new integration process from within the Application component I get an error saying that the SCV of the integration process and the SCV of the Application component are not the same
Does any one have any suggestions

Hi Rajasekar,
       Hope u do fine.
   Ur not mentioned any of ur requirement.
   In BPM scenarios only we can create the INTEGRATION PROCESS.
   In REPOISTERY--> we can design the INTEGRATION PROCESS.
   In DIRECTORY--> Service can installed the Directory.

Dynamic configuration in integration process using abap mapping

Hi everybody,
i have the following scenario:
file adapter -> integration process -> file adapter
The integration process uses an ABAP mapping and sets the filename in dynamic configuration as follows:
*-- Set Parameter
 clear ls_dyn_record.
 ls_dyn_record-name = gc_dyn_config_name.
 ls_dyn_record-namespace = gc_dyn_config_ns.
 ls_dyn_record-value = <new_file_name>
*-- Write configuration
 ir_dyn_config->add_record( ls_dyn_record ).
But now the new filename is not reflected in the file adapter (receiver). In the integration monitor (SXMB_MONI) i still find the old filename.
Whats wrong?
Elko

The ABAP mapping is more complex, setting filename in Dyn. Conf. is just one step in mapping.
If I check the Workflow protocol of the Integration Process, I find the following in the Trace of the ABAP-Mapping:
The filename has been set to 3233340.SWNF00HW.P10I. The Suffix P10I has been added in the ABAP mapping.
When I check the subsequent message in SXMB_MONI I find:
The added suffix is missing in the filename !!

Handling fault messages in an Integration Process (bpm)

I have a bpm in PI 7.11 which performs a synch call to an external webservice. In addition to the request/response, that webservice can also generate two faults: ObjectNotFoundFault and generalfault. I am having trouble handling these faults - when a fault occurs my handler is not being invoked and thus the bpm process stops/errors. When I look at the underlying process (via txn swi1), I see the exact error text:
"No exception defined for fault message ObjectNotFoundFault http://www.companyb.com/services/olsa_v1_0/"
From what I understand within the bpm synch call step to the webservice I need to do the following to handle the exception/fault:
- put the synch call (to the webservice) into a block
- add an exception branch to that block named let's say A & set the exception handler of that block to be A
- in the exception setting of that synch step, select A
In my case, I don't care about the fault details other than to ensure it does not stop the whole Integration Process, so in my exception branch I don't do anything. I did try adding a control step within it too (as per SAP Press text book).
Is there anything else I need to do here? I am not mapping the returned fault - does the fault need to be mapped (not sure how I would do this given that the synch step uses an abstract interface and therefore to my knowledge no fault mapping can be done)?
There are 2 Notes that describe my issue exactly:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1484903
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1158699 <-- this one refers more to me, but we already have in 7.11
Can anyone let me know exactly the steps I would perform to handle these faults - does the exception name / handler A above need to be named the actual exception / fault ObjectNotFoundFault?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks - my scenario I guess is #2 of that blog. But is your take that even if I don't care what is in the fault message, i.e. I don't care about the contents of it but rather I just want to continue on from it, that I still need to perform this java coding? It's not clear to me from what he says - it seems to me he does the java coding to actually capture the contents of the message. I am in fact using the soap axis adapter too, as he is. The screen shot showing the exception branch is basically what I have.

Keith

Adapter Specific Paramters for Integration Process in Configuration

I want to send the data from flat file to idoc through BPM
While doing configuration do I need to explicitly give Adapter specific parameters(Logical System Name) for BPM(Integration Process) or not?
Is it mandatory to give Adapter Specific Parameters for this scenario?
FILE-->BPM--->IDOC(R/3)
Thanks & Regards
Katta Mohan Reddy

Hi,
why would you require Adapter specific parameters (I assume you mean Adapter specific Attributes) - Logical System should be there through the routing (Receiver Determination). What exactly do you want to accomplish by that?

Problem converting Integration Process to ALE logical system(acknowledgmen)

Hello,
I have a scenario where a sender SAP system sends an IDoc via an Interface Mapping to an Integration Process.
This worked perfectly fine on our development environment, but after transporting the scenario to our quality systems I got the following acknowledgement error:
Unable to convert the sender service name of integration process to an ALE logical system.
What could be the reason for this? We have a logical system on the sender SAP system set up for the XI system itself but not for the Integration Process.
We also use SYSTAT IDocs and there we set the the logical sender system name to the logical system for SAP XI and not for the integration process.
Is this also necessary for acknowledgements? Where could this be done. Strange thing is that it works perfectly fine on our development environment.

I raised the same question a few months back.Answer to this question is in the same thread.
Idoc Acknowledgements - Logical System Name
You will have to select option "Restore Original Parties for Idoc Acknowledgments " in the Acknowledgment Idoc adapter.
