Limiting BPM processes

[HarshC]

Hi,

I have a File to Idoc Scenario. Every file launches one instances of a BPM. Each BPM instance inturn processes the file and generates multiple IDOCs. The problem arises when I place multiple files in the source folder. XI pics all of them up and launches mulitple instances of the BPM. This cause idocs to be generated from the files in a mixed order. That is, if I have two files A and B both generating 2 Idocs each. I get the Idocs in the following order:

A1

B1

A2

B2

Now this causes a problem on the R/3 side. They would be fine with any of the following orders:

A1

A2

B1

B2

or

B1

B2

A1

A2

Is there a way to limit the number of instances of the BPM to 1? or any other solution to this?

Thanks,

Harsh

Hi Moorthy,

I don't think EOIO will help. Because the messages/idocs are being generated in order. The problem is that the bpm instances run in parallel. Can I limit the number of instances to 1? So that the files wait, and we have only one bpm instance running at any given time.

Thanks,

Harsh
