Create New BPM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have to make a demo case which shows and execute the following :

-) a document will be scanned and posted in a directory which is known by XI

-) the scanned document gaves me an XML and a Tiff-file (image of the document)

Know i have to create inside XI a BPM which does the following :

-) pick the xml up

-) add a customer id to the file

-) change the addres of the customer

-) post the outcome into crm

-) add some important alerts message in case somethings go wrong

Because i have not so many experience with XI , could someone tells me if i can do that in one BPM structure or should i create multiple BPM

Or is there a easier way to do it

Thank you for your reply and help

Kind regard

Hi,

You will need only one BPm with multiple steps in it. BPM Steps

1. Reveive Step (FileAdapter picks up the file)

2. Transformation Step

- add customer id

- changing customer address

3. send step (send message to CRM)

4. Exception Handler block. have the whole BPM inside an exception handler block. In the exception block have a raise alert control step.

cheers,

hi Naveen

maybe even more steps:

>>>2. Transformation Step

>>>- add customer id

>>>- changing customer address

this might be done in some other system (so send, receive or sync send) but if he wants he can also do it in the mapping - API so BPM is not a must...

Hi

i think i will try it that way, one BPM with several steps.

I think i have a better look at the whole story and can control it step by step.

thx anyway

hi Gwen,

>>could someone tells me if i can do that in one BPM structure or should i create multiple BPM

you can create ti all in one but:

it depends if you need to have some prior

references (for example fomr the first xml in the last step) if so then do it in one BPM

one more thing you should consider is the total time + the frequency of the BPM execution)

if it lasts very long (and you don't need references)

then you can try with 2 BPMs

BTW

if the interface will be used very frequently

you could even try doing it without the BPM

(check the cust id and change it inside the mapping)

but it's up to you

Hi Michal

At first, I wil create it all in one, within the BPM, so i have a good look of all steps to be taken.

Afterwards if i have the time i will do it without the BPM , like you said

anyway thank you very much

keep you posted

best regards
