Business Process Blueprinting Tool (BPB) Publish Error - Solution Manager 7.1 SP10

[Former Member]

Hello SCN members!

The company where I work recently implemented the SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SP10 and now we are trying to learn how to use the SAP Business Process Blueprinting (BPB) Tool to design all enterprise processes inside it.

I followed all the steps of the official BPB installation guide and from another BPB discussion (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3258935) but the tool is not working properly. Some relevant points are:

• I can create and publish Business Scenarios but can’t do the same with Business Processes

Business Scenario Created and Published:

Business Process created but not published, returning a connection error:

I don’t understand why the tool works for the Business Scenario level but not for the Business Process level. Could anyone help?

The log details are:

traceOutput.0.log

• The Palette and Standard Shapes are showing just a few options.

Are these the standard design objects or some are missing?

Thank you in advance for the answers!

Hello SCN members!

I solved both of my problems in BPB tool and would like to share with the community the solution.

Basically I recriated both logical ports in soamanager:

• LP_SOCO_SOLAR
• LP_SMSY

This solved all my problems detected in the tool.

Thanks again for the suggestions showed!
