Regd BPM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to use BPM for sending the files in a serial manner to target.The scenario is File to IDOC.

Earlier i was using a java maping to convert the file to IDOC and it was working fine.

No i am finding it difficult to implement with BPM as i dont have any sourec Message interface(i didnt create as the file was IDOC flat file) and used the java mapping to read all the content and create the IDOC.

When i use bpm, the first step i.e receive ask to fill the message. but idont have any MT or DT.

i tried usign dummy names but it didnt work.

Regards,

Anika

you have to use a message interface (abstract) but you can give any dummy MT in the interface

hi

As i mentioned earlier it is difficult to create a structure for the incomming file and if i use a create dumming DT and MT then the scenario will nt work because when the file is picked the file structure will not mathc the Dummy DT which i created.

i tried creating only MI and specified a summy name to MT, but it showed error while activation as is didnt find that associtated MT name which i mentioned.

create a MT_Dummy (or something) and define a dummy structure for it.

use this in you MI.

hi shabrish,

As you said i created Dummy MT with one field(DT ) say test. I doubt while picking it will surely throw error as the file i am picking and the structure will not match.

if you are using a java mapping it ideally shouldnt.

[samiullah_qureshi]

You need to create Service Interface of type Abstract asynchronous to use in the BPM steps. In your case in SI you select Idocs.

It wont work....you need to create a MI (Abs Async)...then create a container variable in BPM...assign the MI to it and then assign it to the receiver/ send step...as for you case create a DT corresponding to the file and build the MI.....on the IDOC side use the IDOC in the MI and include it in the send step of the BPM
