Correlation In BPM

[Former Member]

Hi all;

I have a scenario in hand where in i am fetching data from 2 different ODS tables and calling an RFC.

I am using correlation in the scenario.

<b>BPM steps are</b> : Receive1 -- Receive2 -- Transform -- Send

this works fine when the data is fetched from both the tables,but if data is fetced from only one table and not the other the process keeps on waiting.

Can anyone help me out on this.

Hi,

but this is how it's supposed to work

it has to wait for both messages

that's who you've designed the process

just send the correct data (you can do it via RWB if you're using a dev XI landscape )

and the process will proceed

Regards,

michal

Hi michal

thanx for reply

Is it possible to design th BPM in this scenario to make it flexile to work in both the cases:

1. Receive in both the files.

2. Receive any one of the incomming files.

Hi,

sure you can put it in a block which will wait

a certaing amount of time and if the second one is not received

then it will procceed

Mudit,

Adding to Michal's reply, please look into the SAP BASIS Compoenet --> Namespace --> http://sap.com/xi/Patterns and you will find multiple BPM patterns and you can understand BPM and how to use the various patterns better.

Also, look into this link,

Hi ;

Can you please explain this block step to receive both the messages in detail.

Cant we use fork , because any of the incomming messages in start the process

Hi,

You can also go for fork step... but the ending condition of fork should be wisely chosen, because if there is delay in receiving the second message it should not result in termination of the fork step.
