Xpath vs receive pipe in Orchestration

Hi,
We receive big XML PO from customers. Each PO has header record, supheader record and Orders record(it loop). After map PO to our standard, i need to create single new order with header and subheader. So xml structure needs to be remain
same. Just have only one order and send it to web service. How can i do this by xpath?
I used something like this but it was giving all orders instead of just one.
sXPath = System.String.Format("/*[local-name()='Request'][./*[local-name()='PO']/*[local-name()='Orders'][position()={i}]]");
Schema something like:
<Request>
  <PO>
    <Header>
        <CustName>
        <CustAddr>
    <SubHeader>
        <SpecialDetails>
    <Orders> (Loop)
      <Order>
           <PO#>
           <Payer>
     <Item>
          <Item#>
    <ReceiverAddr>
         <Street>
         <City>

Hi Shanky,
Thank you for your help&reply and yes, i put statment in loop and "i" is loop counter. As you said, i also passed i as parameter in string-format.
If i use your script ( i already tried too) then i am getting xml from order records only. I am losing header records.
So i am getting :
<Orders> 
      <Order>
           <PO#>
           <Payer>
     <Item>
          <Item#>
    <ReceiverAddr>
         <Street>
         <City>
but i want to keep the same xml format but separate file for each order. So i want result similar to below:
<Request>
  <PO>
    <Header>
        <CustName>
        <CustAddr>
    <SubHeader>
        <SpecialDetails>
    <Orders> (single order)
      <Order>
           <PO#>
           <Payer>
     <Item>
          <Item#>
    <ReceiverAddr>
         <Street>
         <City>

  • Reg:Xpath in receiver determination

    Hello,
    My message strcture looks like below.
    Record
    Level1
    item
    field1
    Level2
    item
    field2
    Level3
    item
    field3
    There can be multiple items for each level.
    Here goes my condition.
    I have to send the message to the receiver system "A" only when filed2 value is same across all items under level2 i.e. if there are three items under level2, then field2 should have the same value  across the items.
    Can you please let me know how do we impliment this in the reciver determination step using xpath?
    Regards,

    Rahul,
    Your scenario can be achieved using Enhanced Receiver Determination. Using Xpath in Receiver Determination might become complex for your condition.

  • Conditions using xpath in Receiver determination

    How to write conditions using xpath in receiver determaination. Please provide few examples.
    Regards,
    Suresh.

    hi
    Defining Conditions
    You also have the option of specifying the conditions to be applied when forwarding a message to the receiver(s) in a receiver determination.
    Generally, a condition relates to the contents of a message; if a specified condition is fulfilled for a particular payload element (the corresponding element has a certain value, for example), then the message is forwarded to the specified receiver(s).
    &#9679;     If you want to specify a new condition for forwarding the message to a receiver, in the table in the Display/Edit Receiver Determination editor in the Configured Receivers frame, choose Insert New Condition () and call the condition editor by using the input help ().
    &#9679;     If you want to specify a new condition for forwarding the message to multiple receivers, in the table in the Display/Edit Receiver Determination editor in the Configured Receivers frame, choose Insert Line After Selection ( ) and call the condition editor  by using the input help (). 
    In the condition editor, you can select an element from the message payload and specify a value with which the value of this element is to be compared at runtime.

  • Using Xpath in Receiver Determination for greater than 500

    Hi,
    I am trying to use Xpath in the receiver Determination step and I want to check a field which is at item level and comes multiple times(0-unbounded) greater than 500.I tried with different options per SDN blogs,Xpath functions,but still I couldn't able to get what i am trying.I want to process the message when "quantity" is greater than 500,else I want to ignore the message with no errors.
    I gave like this    /p1: /LIST/item[quantity>499]     EX
    item loop is 0-unbounded and I need to check for every quantity.I selected the check box multi line as well.
    I played around different options,but still did not get what I am looking for.
    please suggest in this regard ,how I need to give the expression.
    Thank you,
    Sri

    Hi,
    For validating that the item field is occuring more than 500 times you need to choose the
    2.The exact XPath would be in your case *(/p1: /LIST/itemquantity[499]EX)*
    This means if the 500 th occurance of the item exists then the condition satisfies that is always true for 500 and above occurance of the item.
    Please revert if the suggestion proves to be helpful.
    cheers,

  • Idoc structure not displying in XPATH at Receiver Determination..!!! Urgent

    Hi All,
    Doing Idoc to File Scenerio,
    In the receiver determination, I need to select the XPATH from the Idoc structure and by based on the GLN number which is coming in one of the segment, I need to pass to different receivers.
    Problem here is Iam not able to see the Idoc structure in the  XPATH to provide the condition.
    But when doing File to Idoc scenarios, Iam able to see the File structure.
    Any idea why IDoc structure is not displaying over here??
    Its a bit urgent for me..
    Waiting for your replys.
    Thanks&Regards
    Seema.

    Hi,
    This will help you now
    Hi,
    If you get the following msg while selecting the BS in Receiver Determination and if you are unable to view the Structure of the Source
    "Message interface does not exist in any software components installed on this business system"
    1) Open ID-----Double click on Business system that which u are using in the scenario
    2) Check whether you are able to see the SWC in the Othere attributes TAB
    3) If it is not there means goto SLD----Open the Technical System of R/3 by choosing Web as ABAp type
    4) Click on Installed Products TAB
    5) Click on Add New product and add your Product of the SWC whcih you are using for developement and Save it
    6) Then goto Business systems TAB in the same Technical systems window and click on the Business System appears in the window.
    7) Click on Installed products and Check the check box of your Product and then finally save that.
    Now you should be able to see the SWC in the Othere attributes TAB in ID

    Hello,
    I am using this blog to write conditions /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/06/07/customise-your-xpath-expressions-in-receiver-determination and accordingly call the receiver (either Receiver_1 or Receiver_2), never to call both the receivers simultaneously
    I have a sample source message like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ConsumerDetails>
       <UserId>91200024:123456</UserId> To check if UserId starts with 91200024: or not
       <Date>20111301161459</Date> To check if length of Date is 14 or not
       <Billing>RC</Billing> To check if Billing has value RC/ SB or not
       <Type>SE</Type> To check if Type has value SE/ CWE or not
    </ConsumerDetails>
    Accordingly wrote the below conditions:
    Receiver_1 (Conditions working fine):
    UserId (MiddleOperator --> ContainsPattern) --> 91200024:*
    /ConsumerDetails[(string-length(Date)) = "14"] --> EX
    /ConsumerDetails[(Billing = "RC") or (Billing = "SB")] --> EX

    /ConsumerDetails[(Billing != "RC") or (Billing != "SB")] --> EX
    /ConsumerDetails[(Type != "SE") or (Type != "CWE")] --> EX
    Only Conditions for Receiver_1 are working fine; those for Receiver_2 are not. Can anybody please provide correct conditions to be written in the Condition Editor?
    ~Thanks.

    Hello,
    Have you tried using the condition as mentioned below:

  • XPath in receiver determination: Check content of elements that exist 0..n

    Hi all,
    I have a simple requirement in a receiver determination. In the structure of the XML message, there is a node "STATUS" with an element STATUS_CODE. This STATUS node can appear 0 or  9999 times.
    I want to check if there is ANY STATUS with STATUS_CODE = "0", and if so, the message should be sent to a certain receiver. How to to that?
    Will that be the solution: (//STATUS/STATUS_CODE = 0)?
    Thanks,
    CHRIS

    > So it seems to me that the operator != can't be used to check a 1...n element? What might be the reason for this?
    I am not sure how != works, it is not documented well.
    I suppose NE means: does not exist.
    So if any node STATUS_CODE with value 1 exists, then the result is false.
    If you want an existence check if this, you should apply this:
    //STATUS [STATUS_CODE != "1"]  EX

  • XPATH in receiver determination

    Hi,
    We need to dynamically determine the receiver service based on the payload.
    In the extended service editor we have succesfully used a simple XPATH expression to point out a specific field of the payload (just like using af context object) containing the service name.
    However, in most cases the service name is a substring of a field of the payload and furthermore a constant is to be added to give the full service name. We have tried to solve this problem using the XPATH functions 'concat', 'string' and 'substring'. But as soon as we add just the simplest function to the XPATH expression, the receiver determination fails (unable to process the XPATH).
    We have tested the XPATH with the actual message using XML Spy, and it works well.
    The XPATH expression is: "concat('SAPR3_', substring(string(/p1:receipt/p1:identity), 2, 5))"
    Any hints?
    Regards
    Lars

    Hi Lars,
    I just noticed, that you are talking about extended Service Editor - not a Condition - so my answer above is obviously rubbish.
    What remains true is that the XPath you use has to result in a node, than the nodes string is taken as a service.
    So I am afraid there is no easy solution for your problem...
    If you do not have too many receivers and this list is rather static, you could of course use conditions in the receiver determination - something like:
    receiver service = SAPR3_b if /.../ = abc
    but this is of course not really applicable if the list of possible receivers gets too long.
    Another possibility would be to use the substring as a receiver within the configuration. So take it from the payload in the receiver determination and use this 'service' for interface determination and receiver agreement.
    Than, within the receiver agreement you can exchange this name by the 'real' name in the header mapping (which is performed as the very last step in the pipeline). Since you have a receiver agreement per receiver anyway, you would not have to create additional configuration objects. The downfall is of course, that to 'read' the configuration (or the message monitoring) one has to know about this mapping trick...

  • Use of range in case of XPATH for receiver determination.

    Hi Experts,
    I need to achieve the following using standard receiver determination.
    The material number in the source message structure has to lie within a perticular range and that should decide the receiver of the message.
    For example:
    MT_SRC
    |---- Ele1
    |----
    MaterialNo.
    If MaterialNo is between 100000100 and 100001000 then it should be sent to BS_TGT1 else it should be sent to BS_TGT2.
    Is it possible to achieve this using the standard conditional receiver determination using XPATH and if yes, how exactly?
    Regards,
    Amol

    Hi Amol,
    I think its possible. Never tried though for a range.
    Go through this link and check out what is described under the section "Notes Regarding the Use of XPath Expressions"
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/a513f2632c332ce10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
    I am not sure whether it will work for two conditions though, i.e. for a range( Greater than 100000100, less than 100001000).
    Just try and let us know.

  • XPATH and Receiver Determination

    In Reference to forum thread : Conditions in  Xpath (Receiver determination)
    Suppose I have MT as
    MT_Pickfile
       |_Header
       |_Body
       |_Trailer
    And i need to check;
    (field3 = "100" or field3 = "200" or field3 = "300" ) and(field5 = "AA" or field5 = "BB" or field5 = "CC")
    field3 is in Header and field5 is in Body
    I tried giving
    /p1:MT_Pickfile/Header[(field3 = "100" or field3 = "200" or field3 = "300" )] and /p1:MT_Pickfile/Body[(field5 = "AA" or field5 = "BB" or field5 = "CC")] EX
    It doesnt work. But then if both field3 and field5 are in Header then it works (as had been the case in the above mentioned thread which Stefan Grube replied to) i.e. to say
    /p1:MT_Pickfile/Header[(field3 = "100" or field3 = "200" or field3 = "300" )] and [(field5 = "AA" or field5 = "BB" or field5 = "CC")] EX
    Can anybody put in their suggestions ?
    Thanx in Advance,

    Hi Shabarish,
    It is not possible to have <i>and</i> or <i>or</i> outside the brackets <i>[]</i>.
    Try following:
    /p1:MT_Pickfile[(Header/field3 = "100" or Header/field3 = "200" or Header/field3 = "300" ) and Body/field5 = "AA" or Body/field5 = "BB" or Body/field5 = "CC")]
    Another idea:
    Write two lines in receiver determination (use insert expression):
    1. line:
    /p1:MT_Pickfile/Header[(field3 = "100" or field3 = "200" or field3 = "300" )]
    2. line

  • Xpath - Conditional receiver

    Hi
    While selecting the receiver in receiver determination i am getting the below message.
    Message interface does not exist in any software components installed on this business system" it says that schema is not correct?
    becuase of this in my Xpath i m not able to see the whole structure.
    Am I missing somthing?
    chirag

    It is just a warning that says your software component is not installed on source business system in SLD. And that is why source structure is not displayed in condition editor.
    You can manually write the XPath,  like /p1:MT_Src/Node1 and it should work

    I agree with Shankycheil here, querying XPath will return XMLNode and thus can't be assigned to XMLNode.
    But for debatching in Orchestration using Xpath is not a very good idea. 
    Because using XPATH loads the complete message in memory(XML Structure) and then performs processing.
    This approach is always prone to throwing Out of Memory exception and low in performance also.
    Therefore I would suggest you to perform debatching by calling XML Disassembler(XMLReceive) pipeline.
    As pipeline works with Stream it will have better performance and you will also get complete control over the messages.
    Refer the below samples for debatching using XML Receive pipeline within Orchestration.

  • Receiver Determination Condition and XPATH

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a receiver determination with conditions and can not figure out why one thing is working, and the other isn't.
    As suggested in the following forum post, XPATH and RECEIVER DETERMINATION, I had to do the following to my XPATH expression to make it work.  The full xpath expression is this:
    (/p1:RenExtract_MT/Detail/CompanyCode = 9740)
    where
    p1 = http://company.com/xi/fin/
    but whenever I put in a condition it could not find a receiver.
    Hoewver, when I did this:
    //CompanyCode
    it worked.
    I did everything through the condition editor, many times, and didn't type anything in myself.  Is there a length limitation or something (I removed some data in here, the expression is really longer!).
    Any ideas?
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    I do not have an explanation for this wired behaviour.
    But I can assure your, that your working solution, the //something expression is a good one and not inferior to a solution using an explicit, absolute path.
    Why is that: I can remember some benchmarks, where the //something expression always outperformed the other one.

  • Call a receive pipeline in orchetsration for debatching

    Why we Call a receive pipeline in orchetsration for debatching ?Is there any specific reason for this ?
    Can we apply some other technique for debatching in orchestartion ?
    Prakash

    Debatching in Orchestration can be done in two main ways:
    By calling Receive pipeline in orchestration
    By using some code.
    When I mean by some code, this can be
    Using XPath
    Nodelist in Atomic scope
    Or pass the debatching logic to external .NET helper.
    Rachit's article can give you insight into the performance of these options.
    Microsoft has seen this requirement and seen people use various methods to debatch. So they came up with Pipeline Manager so the pipeline can be called in Orchestration to debatch, which is much better in terms of performance. But you lose the “Recoverable
    Interchange” option when you call Receive pipeline in orchestration.
    So what I do is chose the option based on quality of the interchange/batch I would receive. If interchange/batch is always going to be perfect and if I would not be facing any issues in debatch or format of the interchange, then I would prefer to go with
    calling Receive pipeline in orchestration. If message quality would vary and there are possibilities of many messages with in the message to fail during debatching i.e. if I need “Recoverable Interchange” and also there is need to debatch the message in orchestration,
    then I would use custom code to the debatch and handle the failed debatched messages internally.Its sometime better to handle the known devil/failure within the code rather than leaving to operational support to manage
    FYI, there are also other reistriction  on using Receive Pipeline in Orchestration, check this article from MSDN for more info.
