When to use BPM?

Hi Experts,
I have read that BPM is used for integrating cross application. Can somebody tell what do you mean by cross application? Any example.
What other cases I can use BPM?
I have also seen BPM being used for alerts and validations. Is this the correct use of BPM?
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Gopalkrishna,
BPM in SAP XI is generally used for stateful message processing. Having said that if you want two messages to be processed depending on certain criteria you will have to use BPM.
The places where we generally use BPM is:
1. Error handling.
2. Handling messages from multiple senders
3. Collecting of messages
4. Splitting of messages
5. Processing message based on certain criteria
6. If the receiver structure is created based on certain criteria.
These are just some of the examples. If you hace SAP XI installed, then you can go to SWCV SAP BASIS and you will find examples out there.
Also, you can find examples in here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/de/766840bf0cbf49e10000000a1550b0/content.htm and
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/69/4ad13fa69a4921e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
BPM is one way to raise your alerts in an excetion step. This does not mean BPM is mandatory for raising alerts
Hope this gies you some clarity.

When to use BPM Studio & BPM Composer

Hi,
I'm aware of BPM Studio and BPM Composer components and have used them using Sales Quote example.
I need to know the key differences between studio and composer that differentiate each other interms of usage.
When to go with studio and composer?
Thanks
Saleem

Hello Saleem,
The Process Composer is a web based application and is typically used by Business Analysts, who do not want to have JDeveloper installed. The Process Composer can be perfectly used in user sessions. All process information defined with the Process Composer is stored in the MDS repository. It can be extracted from there and handed over to the developers, who typically do their work in JDeveloper.
Vice versa work from within JDeveloper can be given back from Jdeveloper towards the Process Composer (publish to MDS).
Another neat functionality is the ability to create BPM blueprints/templates in Process Composer and JDeveloper. These can also be shared between the two IDE's.

When to use BPM Standalone and BPM on Weblogic Server?

Hi,
How are you?
We are starting a project that involves BEA BPM, I have a question regarding which installation flavor should we go for, what is the difference between how BPM works when using Weblogic or Stand alone, what advantages are given when installing it over weblogic vs installing the Standalone version?
Thanx in Advanced!
Kind Regards,
Gerardo J

Hi Gerardo:
There are a lot of considerations about your question. The main difference is clearly the Aplication Server, while a Standalone version have an imbebbed TOMCAT 5.5 , the WL version requires at least Weblogic Server 8.2.
First, there is an important question that you must answer:
Your organization architectonical deployment supports Weblogic products? (weblogic, service bus, tuxedo, etc.)
Do you have a service bus? Does your organization / project this requirement?
Has your organization TOMCAT experience /support?
How many concurrent users your solution intends to support?
Is there experience about BPM's development?
Try to solve this initial questions. The decision isn't about the product, is about how do you plan to solve your organization business and IT needs.
Best regards,
Carlos
Translated
Hola Gerardo:
Hay un grupo de consideraciones sobre tu pregunta. La principal diferencia entre las versiones corresponde al uso del servidor de aplicaciones; mientras la version SA utiliza un Tomcat 5.5 embebido, la versión WL utiliza versiones superiores a la 8.2
Para resolver tu duda, debes al menos responderte estas preguntas:
¿Mi arquitectura empresarial de aplicaciones se integra a soluciones de weblogic?
¿Tienes un bus de servicios empresariales?
¿Tiene la organizacion experiencia en desarrollos de Tomcat?
¿Cuantos usuarios concurrentes utilizarán el sistema?
¿Hay experiencia en el equipo con la metodología de desarrollo para BPM?
Trata de resolver esto inicialmente. La decisión del producto no es por el producto en sí, sino que en realidad al producto que mejor se integre a la realidad que presente tu empresa, al solucionar el problema de negocio, de forma sustentable con tu estructura de TI.
Saludos y suerte,
Carlos.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of using BPM.
Business Process Management (BPM) has become a critical part of enterprise development.business process management
Business process management (BPM) is a systematic approach to improving an organization's business processes. BPM activities seek to make business processes more effective, more efficient, and more capable of adapting to an ever-changing environment. BPM is a subset of infrastructure management, the administrative area of concern dealing with maintenance and optimization of an organization's equipment and core operations.
A business process is a set of coordinated tasks and activities, conducted by both people and equipment, that will lead to accomplishing a specific organizational goal. The Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), a non-profit organization, exists to promote the standardization of common business processes, as a means of furthering e-business and business-to-business (B2B) development. To this end, the organization has developed the Business Process Modeling Language (BPML), an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based metalanguage for modeling business processes.
BPM(Business Process Management) is a structured approach that models an enterprise's human and machine tasks and the interactions between them as processes. BPM software uses a dashboard interface that offers a high-level view of the operation that typically crosses departmental boundaries. The dashboard integrates with all the applications that perform processes as well as related databases and can be used to trigger the start of a unit of work.
Evolving from document management, workflow and enterprise application integration (EAI), a BPM system can monitor and analyze tasks in realtime and set off alerts when specified limits are exceeded or a response is not received within a specified time.
Management for People/Machine Systems
For decades, systems that are entirely automated have more or less taken care of themselves. However, operations requiring a mix of people and machine procedures employ BPM as a higher-level management system that keeps track of them both.
Over time, a BPM system can provide historical data of human-machine interactions that might be extremely difficult to obtain from information systems, especially disparate systems from several departments or systems running on different platforms.
The BPM Suite (BPMS)
A BPM system may comprise a variety of independent packages or a comprehensive business process management suite (BPMS), which includes tools for modeling and analysis, application integration, business rules support, business intelligence (BI), activity monitoring and optimization. Advanced BPMSs provide a development tool for creating forms-based applications, which are often the start of many business processes.

I follow this blog to the letter - because it is the same as my scenario:
/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit
The problem is I have no experience with BPM. I have setup the Integration process as I think it should be but I get an error.
Could one of you experts go through the BPM steps in more detail? Screen shots/details of the properties and containers on each step would be very useful. Thanks.

When to design bpm

which situation?
u must put a transformation step within the bpm.
instead of putting a interface mapping being covered by a transformation step outside of bpm.

HI
We use BPM In the following cases
BPM is used for Stateful communications,suppose u have to delay message processing,or wait for other messages to arrive and then send them all together,in that case use BPM.
It is used to control complex document choreography - e.g. when you need to wait for two different types of messages to arrive and then send out another message of a 3rd type, or when you need to wait for a series of messages to arrive, and combine them into a single message to be sent out.
When to use BPM:
1.Control the messages in XI
2.Collect the messages
3.split the messages
4.To multicast a message
5.Send an alert.
6 Persist the data
7. Control of the process based on Data - Decision Making
8. When process integration has to happen with more than one sender/receiver
9. To embed one's Business Logic
Please refer the links below:
Check this discussed thread on "Why do we need BPM":

Reg:Whether to use BPM or not when the channels are controlled externally

Dear All,
My scenario is File to File and for this the channels are controlled externally.
This is achieved through the Abap proxies to Http receiver scenario, where udf is being implemented for this.
UDF:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey trig = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamOne");
DynamicConfigurationKey trig1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamTwo");
DynamicConfigurationKey trig2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamThree");
DynamicConfigurationKey trig3 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamFour");
conf.put(trig,action);
conf.put(trig1,party);
conf.put(trig2,service);
conf.put(trig3,channel);
return "";
If the value of the Action is START then the existing communication channel should be stopped and restarted again .
If the value of the Action is STOP then the stop action should be performed.
For this I have implemented two mappings and condition is being given in Interface determination
so as to have the splitting of messages when the start action is performed.
Can anyone suggest me how to implement this by using a single mapping or this could be achieved only through BPM?
Thanks in Advance,
Lavanya .B
Edited by: Lavanya Balanandham on Aug 4, 2010 2:24 PM

Hi ,
My requirement is ,I need to merge two mappings into one mapping without using BPM.
My File to File scenario communication channel is controlled externally by using Proxy-to-Http scenario.
For this I have used two mappings say when the value for the action is START then the File receiver communication channel should be stopped(which is already polling) and again the Action START should passed to the Receiver File Channel to start again using the proxy-http scenario.
Now I need to merge the two mappings into a single mapping so as to perform the above stated flow without using BPM.

Using BPM (Blocks) when Incoming message has multilple rows

Hi All,
I am using BPM in my scenario.I have a message with multiple rows coming.I want to check for a condition for each row of the incoming message.I am trying to use a block(Mode: For Each) and using a switch step inside this block.But in a block if u want to check for each line, we need to define a multiline container element as Source Interface message.Since I am already having multilple rows, I cannot give multiline option.Can someone give me some example scenarios where this type of scenarios are handled.
Thanks in Advance.
Soumya

Hi,
Here I am picking a file with multiple rows
The Sender Message Type structure is
<ns:File_MT xmlns:ns="http://File/send">
<recordset>
    <Slno />
    <Goods_Receipt_Date />
    <Material_Code />
    <Quantity />
    <Plant_Code />
    <Storage_loc />
    <Batch_Number />
    <PO_Number />
    <Item_Number />
    <Special_Stock_Indicator />
</recordset>
</ns:File_MT>
Here the row recordset has multiple occurences.
For my BPM I have defined an Abstract Message Interface of similar structure.
1)I am using a receive step to receive the message.
2)I am using a transformation step for structure change.
3)Then I have to check a condition whether each of the fields, ie material number,plant code etc are null or not.
I am using a switch for that.In the switch I have 2 branches-for error records and correct records.
Now in the eror record branch, I want to append error records to a container using a container operation and finally send it to another system.
Since my Source message is already having multilple rows.ie 0...unbounded for recorset, I can't define a multiline for container operation.The container operation expects a multiline container element when using append statement.
How should I go about this?Should I define a Loop after the transformation step?
Can you give me any example scenarios where transformation steps are used to change a source message with mutilple rows are used?I referred the FlightBooking Example, http://sap.com/xi/XI/Demo/Agency-SplitMultiplebookingOrder but in that they are not using the MessageTypes which are already defined, in the mapping.
Can anyone help?
Thanks and Regards,
Soumya.

Can anyone please help me

Actually i'm using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 and our requirement is to show list of BPM worklist tasks for the logged in user on the first page and onclick of each task task details page should be opened. I can use Webcenter PS3 worklist taskflow. But i'm not able to customize that taskflow. So, i'm going for Worklist client api.
I'm able to retrive the taskId,task title and few other details like task payload. But i don't know why the below method is giving exception.
String url =
WorklistUtil.getTaskDisplayURL(wfSvcClient,
ctx, task, null,
"worklist", parameters);
And i observed that you have also used the same code for getting Taskdetails url. And one more thing is i'm trying to access BPM worklist which is installed on remote machine.
Can you tell me what could be the reason for the exception?

Message mapping when using BPM?

We are doing a test to see if you can do a split of a string using standard functions, UDF or BPM.
We discovered that standard function has some of the functionality but if you are going to solve the problem that way the solution will be very complex. You will get no flexi bility in how to design the string and all the feilds will have to have fix length. So Standard functions are not the solution for us.
UDF works realy great. Write your java function and map it and everything are running.
We wont to test BPM as well. and i just started to look at it and how to solve it. I'm a newbee on BPM and for start I'm wondering how the message mapping should look to use in the BPM?
Sourcemessage looks as follow:
<Header>
   <Line>
      <SegmentA>   0 to unbounded
      <SegmentB>   0 to unbounded
      <SegmentC>   0 to unbounded
SegmentA contains a value to be copied to a segment in the target.
SegmentB contains a date to be copied to a targetelement.
SegmentC contains a string that we want to split into several elements in the target structure.
Targetmessage looks as follow:
<Header>
   <LineA>   1 to 1   (Will get the value from SegmentA in the sourcemessage.)
   <LineB>   1 to 1   (Will get the value from SegmentB in the sourcemessage.)
   <LineC>   0 to unbounded
      <ElementA>   0 to 1   (Will get a part of the string from SegmentC in the sourcemessage.)
      <ElementB>   0 to 1   (Will get a part of the string from SegmentC in the sourcemessage.)
      <ElementC>   0 to 1   (Will get a part of the string from SegmentC in the sourcemessage.)
To able to get the messages into BPM I need a interfacemapping and to do the interfacemapping I need to do a messagemapping. How should that messagemapping be configured?

> Now i want to try to replace that UDF with a BPM (Integration Process).
An UDF is part of a mapping and an Integration Process is used if you want to realize a more complex scenario then sending a message from System A to System B. In BPM you can do things like collecting messages, use timeouts, ...
But if you want to use a mapping in a BPM you define your mapping in your Integration Repository (like in a standard scenario without BPM) and then you can use the mapping in the Integration Process.
That's why i say it's maybe possible to realize your mapping without UDF (for example only with standard functions), but it makes no difference if you use BPM.
If you want to try finding a solution without UDF, i would suggest to open a new thread for this question.
Hope this helps.

Patrick

Multi-Mapping and Message Split using BPM

Hi All,
Could anyone pls let me know clearly how message mapping can be done for this weblog
/people/sudharshan.aravamudan/blog/2005/12/01/illustration-of-multi-mapping-and-message-split-using-bpm-in-sap-exchange-infrastructure
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
When you are doing Message mapping after adding the Messaget types for source and target messages. You can click on the "" button in the target message and add one more tab. You can go to Message tab as shown in the 5th image and click "" button to add one more message type. Then do the mapping as usual.
<b>Based on the value of the element(name), the node of input(details)should be directed to one of the two message types</b>
Here in this blog it is done based on the Name.
You need to use IFTHENELSE boolean function and do the mapping.
Thanks,
Prakash

Hi. Iu2019m trying to do 1:n multi-mapping using bpm scenario. I use file to file. Input file consists of many records and then I want many record to be transformed into many file at target system. I follow step in http://www.riyaz.net/blog/xipi-1n-multi-mapping-using-bpm/. However, I have a problem when file is retrieved in to XI. It doesnu2019t create any output file.
When I look at SXMB_MONI, it shows u201CNo object type found for the message Check that the corresponding process is activated.u201D Besides, it shows error message "Unable to perform action for selected message" when i clikc at PE in SXMB_MONI.
I have check at many previous posts with the same error message but still couldnu2019t solve it. I already activate my BPM and check that status in SXI_CACHE = 0. There is noting left in change list of my IR and ID.
Here is my design and configuration.
IR
Data Type: DT_file_split -> for both input and output file
Message Type: MT_file_split_sender, MT_file_split_receiver
Message Interface: SI_file_split_in, SI_file_split_out, SI_file_abs_source, SI_file_abs_target
Message mapping: MM_file_split for mapping MT_file_split_sender with MT_file_split_receiver
Interface mapping: OM_file_split
u2022     Source = SI_file_split_out
u2022     Target = SI_file_split_in
u2022     Mapping Program = MM_file_split
BPM following this link http://www.riyaz.net/blog/xipi-1n-multi-mapping-using-bpm/.
ID
Import my Integration process
2 Communication Channel for getting input file (CC_File_split_sender) and creating output file (CC_File_split)
2 Receiver determination:
u2022     Source system to BPM using interface SI_File_Abs_source
u2022     BPM to target system using interface SI_File_Abs_target
1 Interface determination:
u2022     from source system to BPM
u2022     Sender interface: SI_File_Split_Out
u2022     Receiver interface: SI_file_abs_source
1 Sender Agreement
u2022     Commu. Component: Source System
u2022     Using interface: SI_File_Abs_source
u2022     Sender Communication Channel: CC_File_Split_Sender
1 Receiver Agreement
u2022     Sender Communication Component: BPM
u2022     Receiver Communication Component: Target System
u2022     Receiver Interface: SI_File_Split_In
u2022     Receiver Communication Channel: CC_File_Split
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes, thats the problem.
You are creating file from test tab of 1..N mapping .
In case of 1..N mappping in mapping Extra tags of messages are addded to the data.As shown here:-
Messages
      Message1
           MessageType
When you use this mapping to generate xml message then it will add additional tags for <Messages> and <Message1>, which is not correct. it should only have structure of you MT.
So remove start and end tag of <Messages> and <Message1> from your data file. Mentioned below in bold.
<xml......>
<Messages>
<Message1>
<MT_...>
</MT_...>
</Message1>
</Messages>
This should solve your problem.

Sami.

Splitting Message using BPM

hi,
I am not able to see the split in BPM when using SWITCH.
Scenario: IDOC->XI->Multiple Receivers with error handling using BPM
In BPM SWITCH i have 2 steps.
1st branch step has Transformation0, Receiver Determination0 and Send0
2nd branch step has Transformation1, Receiver Determination1 and Send1
Receivers will be differnt. Container elements have 2 receivers for Receiver0 and Receiver1
When the IDOC is triggered i can see only one message in SXMB_MONI.
I don't see any failure steps in SXMB_MONI_BPE.
In the ID, i have 2 receivers configured.
Why aren't the messages being processed?
Thanks,
Tirumal

Hi Tirumal,
Switch is condtional step. It is not for Split. It is like If-Else condition. If you want to split the messages in the same time, then go for Fork step.

Problem in Idoc to JDBC scenario(uses BPM)

Hi
I have a IDoc to JDBC scenario which also uses BPM.
The JDBC adapter has to execute a Stored procedure on Sybase database.
I work on XI3.0 SP14.
When I am sending IDoc to XI it is failing in CALL adapter step.
The error message is "Unable to convert sender service TruckLiftAccountUpdate to an ALE logical system".
However this scenario is working in Production with same settings.But it is not working in Quality and it is giving the above error.
Can any one help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
KP

Thanks for your quick reply..
All the settings are in place.
Here the Idoc is coming to BPM and BPM cant able to execute the stored procedure.and we are getting the error from BPM to target system.
Here error is unable to convert the sender service(from BPM service) to ALE
logical system.
same settings are there in Production but it is not working in QA.
Thanks in adavnce,
KP
