[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have install and configured  BPB tool by using installation guide. And affter completion of all steps when we click on business process blueprinting.exe  on local desktop  I am able to come to the main screen of the tool getting dispay of Tab Pages Dashboard and Business Blueprint.

On click to "Open an existing business blueprint"  able to get list of projects, however after selection of project nothing has happened. It is not taking into project structure and all.

Log files shows as :-

Hello Community!

Since this question is not entirely answered and I personally have had this issue more than once with different customers, I would like to add some (hopefully) useful information...

1. Make sure your user and the communication user have the necessary rights:
   1. /SOCO/FABRIC_USER
   2. SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN
   3. SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONFIGURATOR
   4. SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONSUMER
   5. SAP_SOL_PROJ_ADMIN_ALL
2. Configure your Web Service definitions correctly in transaction SOAMANAGER
   1. BsiProjectDirectoryInterface
      • Make sure the service configuration is correct!
      • 
   • Authentication should be set to “Single Sign On using Assertion ticket” under Transport Chanel Authentication.
   • Make sure the service is active in the configurations tab.
   • Hint! Make note of the WSDL-URL for binding later, try calling the URL to make sure it works. (incorrect or not working URLs will cause error messages as stated in this thread.)
   1. BSISMSYINTERFACE
   • Make sure the service configuration is correct!
   • Authentication should be set to “Single Sign On using Assertion ticket” under Transport Chanel Authentication.
   • Make sure the service is active in the configurations tab.
   • Hint! Make note of the WSDL-URL for binding later, try calling the URL to make sure it works. (incorrect or not working URLs will cause error messages as stated in this thread.)
3. Set SICF Services as stated in the Installation Guide
4. Bind the Consumer Proxy correctly in transaction SOAMANAGER
   1. For the previously configured services there is a one to one relevant consumer proxy for binding.
   2. /SOCO/CO_BSI_PROJECT_DIRECTORY for BsiProjectDirectoryInterface
      • Go to configurations tab and create the binding LP_SOCO_SOLAR
      • 
      • Check service is active and try pinging the service
   3. /SOCO/CO_BSI_SMSY_INTERFACE for BSISMSYINTERFACE
      • Go to configurations tab and create the binding LP_SMSY
      • Check service is active and try pinging the service
5. Now go to http://yourhost:8xxx/ebb/setup.asp and generate ebbconfig.txt
   1. Download
   2. Remove workspace folder in your $USERHOME directory
   3. Copy ebbconfig.txt to installation folder e.g. c:\program files\SAP\Business Process Blueprinting
   4. Start BPBD
6. Last Hint! Check ebbconfig.txt to BPBD

Best regards

Hi, Bernt-Henri,

I did it many times .

Ping webservices ok.

Connect BPB to SM ok.

D:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\Business Process Blueprinting\workplace removed..

no project opened...

Hi Vlad,

did you check Step 6, are the context ids identical? Are you possibly using logical (virtual) Server addresses?

Maybe that is where the Bug is sitting...

Hope it gives you some ideas and helps you fix your Problem...

Best regards

[former_member192774 · Accepted solution]

Hi, Bernt-Henri,

I've checked all. I'm suspecting BPB+SM on single notebook is not very well idea .

Another side, i'm tested BPB from remote Citrix-workplace - unsuccessfully too.

May be 64bit-windows is not supported for normal work BPB? How do you think?

Regards,

Vlad

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi Bernt-Henri,

I followed your steps and confirmed my configuration three times. The only thing that is off right now is when I launch BPBD I receive a message "Server configuration not set: Set this on the Preferences page ...". I can set the server configuration myself and connect to my Solution Manager system. However, this message would seem to indicate that BPBD is not reading my ebbconfig.txt file or that the file is not in the correct location. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Shawn

I noticed BPBD works correct with SM7.1 as of SP08

ebbconfig.txt file should be placed at root directory of BPB

In addition I'd place one useful reference http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc38088.1650/doc/html/rad13... "PowerDesigner provides support for round-trip import and export of Solution Manager v7.1 projects" here.

This tools will replace BPB I wonder.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

unfortunately, the ping is unsuccessful for both ports in my system.

I have used the WSDL document for configuration, and the ping returns error message:

"ICF Error when receiving the response: ICM_HTTP_SSL_ERROR".

What can I do?

Thank you and kind regards

Hi Rahul,

Sorry I have not encountered this before. Though it did remind of another issue we had: we could open and edit the process diagram, but the updates were not reflected in Solution Manager.

Cheers,

Shawn

Hello All,

any update , did anyone faced this kind of issue

Thanks,

Hi Rahul,

My organization decided to abandon the implementation of the BPB Tool. The tool is end of life at the end of 2016, and we did not see value in proceeding.

Good luck!

[javiereduardo_vegatorres]

Hi, I had the same error.

There's an update in the guide and in the installation package. I use the file BPBTOOL03P_1-20008315.exe and it works. All the steps in the configuration Guide were performed, the logical ports ping successfull.

I hope it works.

Hi,

I have installed the file BPBTOOL03P_1-20008315.exe and it still does not work. Error says "No project opened" and no popup appears when clicking "Open business blueprint" in dashboard.

Any suggestions?

Thanks and kind regards,

Kristina Barwig

[javiereduardo_vegatorres]

Hi Kristina. I just followed all the configuration steps described in the guide. Did all the ping on the logical ports work successful?

Also Check your entries in the ebbconfig.txt file.

As I said, everything works fine in my scenario.

Best regards.

Eduardo Vega

[former_member192774]

Нi,

What entry must be in the ebbconfig.txt file?

wbr,

Vlad

[Gert_Gregersen]

Hi,

I had the same problem also after updating to BPBTOOL03P_1-20008315.exe.

I turned out to be an authorization issue. The AUTH-object S_SERVICE is missing in the roles delivered in the SOCO component.

It's at bit tricky to find the correct value for the SRV_NAME filen, but * will do for test.

Best regards

Gert Gregersen

[former_member192774]

Hi,

append role /soco/.. object S_SERVICE *

not work...

May be BPB not work on the same host with Solman?

Dear Former Member,

Thank you for fast replying.

I already use lastest version of BPBTOOL ( setup file is BPBTOOL02_0-20008315.EXE).  I can display the projects created in SOLMAN 7.1, but i can't still open any project.

When i view log file of BPBtool, "NullPointerException" error log is displayed.

My e-mail is sileri@havelsan.com.tr

I am waiting for your suggestion.

Thanks.....

[Former Member]

Any luck guys? I am having the same issue ('Error: Transformer file could not be found' followed by the NullPointerException error in the logoutput file).

Although I used only the BPBTOOL00_0.exe. Is this an older version?

Thanks

Ravi.
