Walk Through With BPM

[former_member196064]

Greetings,

I've implemented the Blog titled "Walk Through with BPM" posted below... and now I have a question.

It would seem to me that if I created an abstract MI for the file coming from the sender... and created an IM between the sender's abstract MI and the receiver's abstract MI... that in the BPM I could then use the sender's abstract MI in the start step instead of the receiver's abstract MI and then use the receivers abstract MI in the subsequent send step.

I tried setting this up... but I get a "Message Not Used" error.

... any suggestions... comments?

Here's the Blog

As you are beginningwith BPM, the best thing I would suggest to do it to go through each scenario in this link,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/de/766840bf0cbf49e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

each of the scenario in this link has been implemented in your XI iteself. Just navigate to the Software Compoenetn SAP BASIS and then the namespace --> http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns and in this namespace you will find the implementation of each of the BPM described in the link above. Read through the theory and seee the implementation in XI . Should give you an idea of what is happening.

I see...

And because of the transformation, I don't need any mappings in my receiver or interface determinations... very good

Thanks guys

Hi Doug,

In the given blog, Moorthy is not using any interface mapping in his BPM because he is sending information out of BPM as it comes into BPM . If you need to implement any IM in your BPM you need to have transformation step in your BPM which will ask you for IM .

start-> receive->tranformation->send->end

thanks,

Ok... hang on... let me slap a transformation in there & see if it works.

If you note Moorthy's blog, then you will see that in his blog the Interface Mapping is between the Outbound Asynchronous Message Interface and a Abstract Asynchronous Message Interface.

But as you have a Interface Mapping between 2 Abstract Message Interfaces, you need to have a Trabsformation Step in your BPM like I have mentioned above.

hmmm....

Tell me more about these transformations... of which you speak.

Any good blogs layin around here?

Hi,

You have a transformation / Interface Mapping between Abstract Interfaces.

So, you will need to use a TRANSFROMATION step between your Receive Step and Send Step in the BPM and then give the appropriate message interfaces and interface mapping for the transformation step.
