Processing of multiple messages Using BPM

[gautam_poddar2]

Hello everybody,

I am pretty much a newbie to this XI technology. I am currently testing a File to File scenario Concerning BPM. The source file contains multiple messages in an XML structure. How can each of these XML messages be posted as individual files? I have reffered to this <a href="/people/narendra.jain/blog/2005/12/30/various-multi-mappings-and-optimizing-their-implementation-in-integration-processes-bpm-in-xi on BPM as a guideline; but here the number of messages are restricted and I want to dynamically determine how many messages are contained in the XML file. Anybody has any idea how to achieve this?

Thanks and Warm Regards,

HI,

You can do this without BPM with the help of SPlit concept in the Enhanced Interface Dterminitaion option in the configurtaion. ie one file , multiple output files.

WIth BPM , you need to execute the 1:N Tranformation step inside the bpm. For this you can refer this blog-

/people/sudharshan.aravamudan/blog/2005/12/01/illustration-of-multi-mapping-and-message-split-using-bpm-in-sap-exchange-infrastructure

There are also BPM Pattern delivered by SAP on this. You can find this in the SAP BASIS Software component in the integration reposiotry

Hello,

The blog you mentioned is for cutting one file into 2 files.

I think you need to use the "<b>ParForEach</b>" step in the BPM. This step is used to loop on a multiple line message and create a single message in one branch. Then you can add a send step in this branch and end only one message.
