PI 7.1: RFC Lookup Graphically in BPM

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to do a RFC lookup to XI abap stack in my graphical mapping.

The problem is my mapping is defined in a transformation step inside my BPM, and I'm not able to link my RFC CC to the Import parameter. Has anyone experience with this sort of flow yet, is this even possible because I don't have a receiver agreement because it's BPM?

I only can link following Container Element types: Simple Type / Abstract Interface / Receiver

SAP Library don't even talk about BPM's for the lookups:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/33/1ec6ced273493a993a80c2301c03da/frameset.htm

Any help would be appreciated,

Wouter.

Hi Wouter

I had the same issue. And your answer helped me in giving the adapter instance in the BPM.

But how can I assign the communication channel name to this container variable ?

Hi Anandan,

you should fill in the parameters of your Integration Process inside the Integration Builder (Configuration).

There you can map your CC to the created parameter in your BPM.

Assumption: When you are transporting you Configuration to another system, you have to add this parameter again manually in the target system, PI don't transport these values!

Wouter.

Even though you created Mapping program in IR-Message mapping.

and in transformation step (in BPM) you have to specify IM not MM.

So in your MM use the RFC Lookup standard function or you can also create your own UDF and write a code for RFC lookup. As far as lookup is concern, in it you only have to pass on parameter like BS and Communication channel + the message you are going to send to RFC. It is not related to BPM.

Thx for the replies!

The problem is that I have to fill in an Import parameter in my transformation step in BPM, otherwise I can't activate it. This because I have a binding in my operation mapping. (RFC Adapter parameter)

So my point is I can't use this RFC Lookup inside a mapping in my BPM, because of the required Import parameter.

Anyone some advice?

Thx!

Wouter.

I think you can pass values to the import parameters to the mapping program from with in the BPM. PLease check the help documentation.

Hi all,

I have found the solution: in your BPM you have the option to choose an Adapter parameter in the switch screen Configurable Parameters. You can find this screen in you right corner instead of the Container screen.

Thx all for replies!

Wouter.
