Hi All,

Just wondering if there is a standard/encouraged pattern for managing retries of BPM's within a process orchestration.  For example, a bulk extract is sent async to PO which requires a couple of web services to be called in a row (say a synchronous lookup followed by a synchronous update). Maybe the second update fails due to missing data in the called system, or the system is unavailable. We want to be able to use the standard set of alerting tools (via Sol Man) to alert either a technical user who can then clear the alert so that the service can be executed again or alternatively cancelled and manually handled.

For reference, I wouldn't want to structure a BPMN and user task around this as a solution as that would complicate the scenario unecessarily in my mind (requiring additional tasks to be populated in our UWL (which is the ERP POWL and doesn't have connectivity to BPM), and I'm hoping interim or end events (which have a type of error) would be usable.

I've tried to find something but struggling to find anything in the community or help material and for reference, I'm one of those architects who doesn't necessarily get his hands too dirty, so forgive me for not trying out a few options and providing a candidate approach. If there's a good example in the sample patterns, just point me at that.

Thanks,

Matt

Dear Experts,

We have a brand new PO Installation. After the installation according to the guide was done we wanted to connect to the CE system from NWDS using "SAP as Java" setting. We installed the latest NWDS from https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/731/

https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/731/

Under "SAP as JAva" Settings in NWDS after entrying  the "Instance Host name" and "Instance Number" and clicking ok the popup goes away and there is no entry in the list. Also no error message whatsoever. After i had a look in "Error log" I saw this:

com.sap.managementconsole.datamodel.exceptions.UnauthorizedException: Invalid Response code (401). Server [http://qpmr-nw01.sap:50113/SAPControl] returned message [Unauthorized]. Http proxy info:  none

Hi All,

we are migrating huge number of interfaces from SAP PI 7.0 to PI 7.3.1-Single Stack.

Any one followed some automation process for transporting the objects to PI 7.3.1 with less manual intervention.

Hi All,

we're encountering a communication problem into a BPM scenario.

We're trying to trigger a communication between our BPM and an iFlow developed on Netweaver Developer Studio.

The PI flow is File to SOAP (XI 3.0). We would like to start the BPM flow as soon as a file is delivered from PI.

As you can see in the following screen, the scenario is very simple:

we have associated the inbound Service Interface (related to the target Business Component of the flow) to the trigger of the Start Event, a human interaction with a web dynpro in which we want to show/approve/reject our data, and finally an End Event with no interface associated.

the iFlow is the following:

The Service interfaces (Outbound and Inbound) has the same Message Type associated and are configured as XI 3.0 stateless.

The mapping contains simple move of values.

The communication channel sender polls on a local folder on PI in order to catch a file with the structure defined into the data type and should send the data through the SOAP communication channel to the receiver structure (mapped into the Data Object created in the BPM).

But, once we start the Communication channel sender, we encounter the following error:

Delivery of the message to the application using connection JPR failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error processing inbound message. FaultException: com.sap.aii.proxy.xiruntime.core.ESPXISystemFaultException: Error encountered  during processing of XI request message in inbound ESP; Hint: com.sap.engine.interfaces.webservices.runtime.RuntimeProcessException:
Unexpected uriID '/{http://abc.com/BPM_process_demo}Anagrafica_async_in_SI'. Found:  BindingData 'null', interfaceMapping 'null' interfaceDefinition 'null'

We tried to search for some help on the portal but the only suggestion we found has been already implemented.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Regards.

Andrea

Hi all,

I hope somebody can give me a hint what I am doing wrong or where the problem is.

I created a BPM Process on a SAP PO 7.31 SP 3 (Java only).. Within the process I want to call a service interface of the PI instance.

So I imported the Service Interface into my process out of the ESR and implemnted that as interface in automated task.

The type of the corresponding service interface has been set to XI

Process has been deployed successfull. If I start the proess now I get an error that the service Interface is invoke.

If I check the Application Component

from my point of view evrything looks okay, corresponding to

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/09/f24624a4464e569db76c5959c7a558/content.htm

Any hints?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

I try to deploy the HANA JDBC driver that can be used for PI channel (JDBC).

I tried to install the ngdbc.jar file as a JDBC-Resource (just named it 'HANA') within the NetWeaver administrator, but the driver does not appear at the position /usr/sap/POI/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/./temp/dbpool/_HANA/ngdbc.jar (where it is pointed by NetWeaver).

When monitoring the flow I get a "SAPClassNotFoundException: com.sap.db.jdbc.Driver".

I stumbled over some documents describing the JAR-deployment for previous versions but it seems to be different in version NW 7.31.

Any ideas on this topic? Thanks, Martin

Hi,

I have an Iflow in NWDS that won’t deploy cause it’s telling me that the service interface used in my sender Business Component in used by another iflow.  The iflow in question was deleted and it’s no longer in PI (Configuration).  So, is the information cached somewhere else in NWDS?  I did a full CPA cache refresh in PI and that didn’t help so must be cache in NWDS??

Could someone please help me. I would like to see a guide on the hardware and os requirments for a PO 7.31 installation dual and single. Please point me to a thread or document or write it here

regards

Hello everybody, I am enhancing a CRM Case:

app component     CRM-CM
view:                    CRMCMP_CMG/Detail
object type          CRM_CMG

I have to call a web service and set the result to my fields.
I have tested the WS and it works:

in SAP GUI it asks me for user and password then DO retrieves result.. 
in CRM web client it does Not ask anithing so I am not reaching the WS and no result,

this is code in an button event in my Case
***call to Function that calls the WS

  CALL FUNCTION 'ZBSIGNED'
    IMPORTING
      e_value        = l_value
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found      = 1
      OTHERS         = 2.

***set field value

  CALL METHOD me->typed_context->detail->if_bsp_model_binding~set_attribute
  EXPORTING
    attribute_path = 'EXT.ZZFLD000052'
    value          = l_value.

I made my function with code like this, plus an export parameter added to my function.

Hi everybody,

I'm new to developing BPM processes in NWDS and I'm facing an issue when deploying. 

First of all, I created a simple BPM process using version of NWDS SAP NetWeaver 7.3 SP08 PAT0005 (pretty old...) but I decided to upgrade the version to avoid the problem of the type XI protocol not appearing in the Service Reference (based on William Li article). So, I didn't even try to deploy.

Then I upgraded to the latest version of NWDS and had the problem when deploying. It was understandable because my NWDS version was newer than the SAP PI version. The message was clear. "Your compiler version is 4.3 and your runtime version is 4.0... go through the Note 1600131 - NetWeaver BPM: BPMN compiler compability list..."

The thing is that, even after going through the note, I'm not really sure of which one among all the available versions of NWDS would be the appropriate version and trying to test one version and then another and so on is kind of a nightmare...

This is my software build information (SAP PI)

And my BPM-CORE component version:

1000.7.31.1.0.20110918015700

Any help is appreciated,

Thank you all!

Hello there,

Did anyone in here renew the 90 day trial SAP PO 7.3.1 / AWS Instance license successfully?

I followed the link of of Mariana Mihaylova 's blog:

(top box license update on http://scn.sap.com/community/process-orchestration/blog/2012/11/30/try-sap-netweaver-process-orchestration-in-public-cloud )

This link points to the site for Minisap's license renewals (https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1kZSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/minisap/minisap.htm).

However there's no option for the C73 system name to choose for the license renewal for another 90 days.

Would be helpful if someone from SAP might have a look in it

Cheers

Hi guys,

is there a easy way to call within an bpm process (SAP PO 7.31 Java Stack Only) a BAPI on ABAP Backend system without using

the workarounds:

-Z-BAPI(Include the BAPI call and the BAPI commit) or

-PI IFlow RFC Adapter with Flag Commit.

In my opinion there should be a easier way, because i do not want to create for each BAPI a corresponding Z-BAPI

and also the way with the iflow is not elegant.

best regards

Michael

Hello,

i am implementing a BPM scenario with an automated action that calls an iFlow.

The iFlow is SOAP to JDBC with an outbound SYNCHRONOUS service interface. The purpose is to make a lookup on a database and return a value.

Once i run the BPM I encounter the following error:

Process 'Pool 0' set to In Error

A technical error during invocation: Could not invoke service reference name 013ddc22-f243-4f3d-9104-e8138263b200, component name demo.sap.com~dcbpmsyn~BPMcomponent, application name demo.sap.com/dcbpmsyn   

We have already checked this document:

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/TechTSG/Sending+a+message+from+SAP+NetWeaver+BPM+process+to+PI+fails+via+automated+activity

but everything seems to be fine.

Any idea or suggestion?

Thank you

Unfortunately, they are really for PI 7.3.1 which is dual stack, meaning there is a gateway. However, PO 731 is pure java and there is no gateway. So steps like "local = true" and creating a JCO pointing to local PI will NOT work. I have already installed a standa alone gateway server and still could not get it to work. The help.sap.com doc is also tailored for PI 7.3.1 which assumes there is a local PI gateway service. Not sure if SAP is serious about PO yet as the PO doc on help.sap.com is almost non-existent.

Has anyone been able to get these 2 scenarios working? I would really appreciate if you can share your knowledge.

Thanks,

Jonathan.

Dear all,

I have a own PO system (running on windows with maxdb) out of the box install (so a 7.3.1.0) and I want to apply the newest stack.

I downloaded the stack and wanted to import it with JSPM.

When starting JSPM I get the error

Error while obtaining the SAPLOCALHOST parameter value from the instance with number <number> on host <hostname> using the SAPControl web service API. For more information, see SAP Note 1401712.

This issue I also get with SUM.

I read the specific note and the solution given there (changed the parameter setting from sdefault to default and restarted) but still getting the error

Nov 14, 2012 12:51:52 PM [Error ]: Error while obtaining the SAPLOCALHOST parameter value from the instance with number 4 on host htbn60205128a using the SAPControl web service API. For more information, see SAP Note 1401712.

For more information, see SAP Note 1401712.

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: The server sent HTTP status code 401: Unauthorized

.

what bothers me is that there still comes the Unauthorized part but I granted the <sid>adm rights on server as said in the installationguide.

Any one suffered the same problem and had a solution on this?

Hello Community,

I am installing a SAP Netweaver PI 7.31 (SAP PO single stack java).

I have read all information in the SDN concerning SAP PO.

However, I had some questions:

1) I would like to know which license we need to install for my system PO (in the SAP market, there are only SAP Netweaver PI 7.0 and 7.1 not 7.3)

2) Could you tell me which principal post installation I need to do in the CTC wizard to complete my installation and to have the possibility to connect to the system via NWDS?

I have already activated the SAP PO with http:\\hostname:port/sld/fun.

Thank for your reply.

Best Regards,

Eric
