LOOP IN BPM

[Former Member]

HI FOLKS,

I HAVE THE FOLLOWING SCENARIO:

RFC->XI->WEBSERVICE

THIS SCENARIO WORKS FINE BUT I NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES.

RFC PASS A STATUS "EXEC" FOR XI AND XI CALL A FUNCTION IN WEBSERVICE. WEBSERVICE RETURNS A XML WITH SOME SERVICE ORDER AND XI NEED TO CALL A RFC FOR EACH ORDER. IF WEBSERVICE RETURN 5 ORDER, XI WILL CALL RFC 5 TIMES.

HOW CAN I DO THIS?

DO I NEED A BPM?

WHICH ARE THE STEPS?

THANKS,

Hi,

>>DO I NEED A BPM?

yes it wll be easy to do in BPM

1. Recieve step (recive message from RFC to BPM)

2. Swich step + send step (based on the status call the appropiate web method in the webservice)

3. Revieve webservice call return

4. check return code

5. Loop step

6. send step - call the rfc.

NAVEEN,

DO YOU HAVE ANY EXAMPLE ABOUT THIS SCENARIO?

HOW CAN I CONTROL A LOOP?

hi,

>>HOW CAN I CONTROL A LOOP?

You use a loop ( ) to repeat the execution of steps within the loop. The loop continues to run while the end condition returns true (while loop). In your case this can be counter till it reaches value 5.

To specify the end condition, use the condition editor.
